Oh God !!! Take me back to the 80's please!!! A time when happiness and madness were in the air and magic was in all entertainment.

[prashantchutke]

INXS, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, Talking Heads times for music

[Pango]

What a band and what a frontman. Sorely missed!

[anac.sanchez]

Their sound when they played live: just perfect!!

[ppgedez]

I think we should all take a moment to celebrate Tim’s mullet. A true work of art. INXS what a band still listening in 2023. ❤️

[NicolasPereyra]

Nada de playback... Interpretación en vivo... Excelente grupo... Excelente tema...

[SleeplessLife]

INXS was one of kind. Superb musicians and a once in a lifetime front man/voice. 💓💞❤️

Tells a lot when this is the 9th most watched video on this channel (feb 2023) and there are many other artists that are/were more popular during those years. Love all the INXS fans and as you've probably already heard, still INCREDIBLY UNDERRATED!

[AngelBalon]

tenía 13 en 1984 cuando escuché este tema y hoy en 2023 no puedo dejar de ver esta presentación en vivo, la escucho todo el día todos los días desde hace 3 meses que la descubrí, es simplemente adictiva

Eu daria mil likes a esse vídeo se pudesse. Vídeo em ótima qualidade! O INXS tocava muito bem. São músicos de excelente qualidade. E Michael Hutchence incrível, lindo e maravilhoso! Cantava perfeitamente ao vivo, tão bem quanto na versão de estúdio.
Quando eu vejo esses vídeos antigos do INXS, sinto uma grande tristeza por não ter vivido essa época. Eu gostaria muito de ter tido a chance de ver Michael Hutchence pessoalmente e de dar um abraço nele. Fico triste por saber que jamais terei essa chance.😢

One of the best the band did with Nile Rodgers and it inspired Duran Duran to work with him eventually. I still love Hutch's "rag" as it was called..."Watch the World Argue" is still the most appropriate lyric for our times from "Dancing On The Jetty".

INXS... Simplesmente uma das melhores bandas dos anos 80 e com certeza de todos os tempos...
De Jundiaí, SP Brasil...

[masbien]

Los jovenes de ayer.. eran muchisimo mas jovenes que los de musica te hace creer que todo es posible ...las venas
Se ensanchan, el corazon palpita, tenian el fuego sagrado ...que le falta a la mayoria hoy en dia .. en ka sociedad del fin de los tiempos hay tristeza, ni siquiera tienen ganas de tener hijos.. esta musica te prendia fuego

[mharg]

Aguante INXS !!!! Thank you Netherlands, Greetings from Argentina

[steviecarlstrom]

Was fortunate enough to see them live in Vancouver BC just 2 months before that fateful did I know then just how lucky I was, or that the World would loose such a brilliant Artist/Musician so year around this time, all these tracks start a continuous loop in my head, an INXS

[aloaloha]

This super sound takes me right back to the 80's 🥰🥰🥰

[alejandrovaca]

There is nothing like live performances, best version of original sin live.

[andrewSUN]

Awesome track and awesome album hitting their stride and constantly evolving! Miss you still Michael!!!
