When I was 22, One of my best friends and I used to frequent a bar in Long Beach and playing this song on the jukebox was a ritual. That was in 94, the world has become an insanely different place. Tears of joy and sadness.
The best thing about INXS was that their live performances were just as good … or better than their studio recordings, and their music has aged beautifully through decades! ❤
I’m 25 and only ever heard of INXS when referenced in the tv show The Inbetweeners. I just found this song in a Spotify playlist. I’m having a real tough time but my god this song is incredible!
Huh? Aside from INXS and a few other bands, the 80’s were complete hair band garbage. The 90’s are one of the best musical decades in history. Been downhill since then, yeah.
Best concert I saw. Ziggy Marley, The Smithereens, Iggy Pop, Guns N Rose's and INXS on one bill at Texas Stadium in 1989. When INXS came on, Texas Stadium turned into the biggest dance club in the world.
@bane1240 there were some good alt rock in the 80s The Cure, REM, The pixies, The Replacements, Jane's Addiction, etc. Hair Metal was good until 83 and petered out and everyone started sounding the same. Guns n Rose's breathed fresh air, and thank God the bands labeled grunge came around
@@nickspong9811 well you can’t say the best IXS are my favourite but they can’t compete with the popularity and sales of AC/DC especially overseas and even in Australia they probably aren’t as classically Australian as a group like Cold Chisel
Another song to stand the test of time. This song has constantly been in my life for life changing events and it's amazing how it works out. This song will always be my favorite song ever!
I was lucky enough to see INXS twice in the 80s - just an incredible live band. Michael's energy was limitless and contagious. This is my favorite song from them ❤
Back in '87 during the Kick Tour in New Orleans.. Somehow got dragged to an MTV in the 80's with INXS & never forget that show. So badass performance.. I think the t shirt had a devil on the front.. Sooo looong ago. Great memories....
My favorite INXS song. When it first came out they were young & hungry ready to take on the world! Imho I think it's their best! They always closed their shows with it.
Absolutely agree, one of my favourites also. I miss the days we used to go to pubs to watch them . They were phenomenal playing crowds of 100 to 50,00 people
I don't think realize there will never be another Live Aid where so many quality bands come together for a single cause.. Some may argue how much it helped. but this was huge..
this makes me miss my lover so bad, my heart aches. he left this world 2 months ago and I used to always play this song in his car all the time.. one of my favorite songs and it always makes me think of him
I get it. I was in my early twenties when I first heard the hit song “Need You Tonight “ while doing a tour with my husband in Maine. I fell in love with particular song. And now decades later I am so hooked with INXS. I’m just very sorry for the loss of Michael and to the very loyal multi talented band mates. Thank you so very much.
Tuned into this because Roger Taylor from Queen had mentioned INXS as a great new band.So great to see them taking the mantle after Queen retired from touring.Michael was the last true Rock Star I think
Why can't Live Aid buy the rights to over TWO HOURS of this concert and release it? I know it still exists and waiting to be remastered and put out not only for us Aussies but the world. Come on. A 2025 40 year anniversary isn't far away ❤
What an incredible moment in time this was! This song was big & INXS was taking the rock music world by storm. Everyone was glued to their T.V., watching Live Aid. Michael was such an amazing performer and one of the best voices in rock music--there will never be another Hutch. INXS forever. ❤
I will never forget the concert I saw in Dallas at Texas Stadium. The Smithereens, Ziggy Marley, Iggy Pop, Guns & Roses and INXS as the headline band. They were awesome!
I've played quite a few INXS tunes in coverbands as a drummer, never tear us apart/need you tonight/new sensation/devil inside/don't change...all fun tunes to play but my favorite was, the one thing. INXS were a great band and had class and their drummer was outstanding, very animated player w/rock solid timing and great chops.
Met him at Fishermans Wharf when I worked there loved Inxs since high school I still have all their vynlal bums saw them at Sunny Coast at a festival I had surfboard with INXS on it back in he day he's a beautiful man shame what happened but ill never stop listening 2 him from album 1 to the last..... what a band xx
One of the best and timeless bands from the '80's, very instrumental in getting MTV off the ground! Such great memories watching those videos in the early '80's.
Wow. I was actually at Live Aid in Philly and I had no idea this was being performed at the same time. This is my absolute all-time favorite song, even to this day. So glad you posted this!
@@jojo160555 apparently this was Live Aid in Australia the same day as Philadelphia and London. I didn’t know about it until I saw the video. Or I didn’t remember, which is very possible
Best live performance ever,,,I saw them at least 6 times. I saw them every time they played any where near the Bay Area. So glad I went to every show I could. Never disappointed.. so much energy and FUN, FUN.. I will always miss them.
When Bob Geldolf made the provision that Live Aid was a one-time charity event, and TV broadcast tapes should not be kept, tapes disabled - to prevent bootlegs, vs. the charity cause,....and some tapes were destroyed. Geldolf, according to a BBC article, back in like 2003, found bootleg videos sold in packs in a British/Irish market - he was not happy! He decided to collect footage and make the offical release, with money going to relieve famine and hunger, on DVD, and some music performances were gone, many were preserved. Having an offical YT channel, with the logo is a way to show the musicians, and what an incredible day that was. I was on a high school trip, around German speaking nations (West, East, Austria, Switzerland) in July 1985. When our bus got to the hotel in Mannheim, many of us knew of Live Aid. We got to our hotel rooms -teenagers, and watched. Much of the concert was over, from London. We went in rotation to the dinning room, for quick dinners, then back to rooms, depending if you like the group/singer. When I got home to Ohio, my Brother had taped 3/4 of Live Aid on our family video, a Beta - yes, a Beta! We watched the concerts a number of times,...yet by 1990, the Beta Video was kaput, and the tapes were not viewable. They could have been converted to VHS, but that cost money. Glad that there is an offical Live Aid DVD set, and the YT channel to show the music, and keep the charity alive -feed the World!! And, some of these Worldwide concerts were only shown in fragments, in the USA or West Germany. This is a great INXS performance!!
That's a great track and still sounds very fresh - Australia had delivered us one of the great rock n roll bands with INXS - the excitement in that crowd was insane.
The summer of 05, I remember watching "Rockstar INXS" , David Navarro was a host , and they were looking for a replacement for Michael Hutchinson, in hopes of reviving their career. They picked an Elvis Impersonator, but after the show I never heard of them again. I remember them from the early days of MTV and dome radio play. Times have changed since then.

❤
I was 22 in 94. I also love this song and put it on every juke box I get the chance to now. Not as often as I would like for sure.
The Internet was our demise.
I feel the same
Agree....that era was golden😢
The best thing about INXS was that their live performances were just as good … or better than their studio recordings, and their music has aged beautifully through decades! ❤
Exactly.. like a lot of singers who twist the songs like douchebags he doesn’t
That's because their a real band not autotune!
Check out their 1991 concert at Wembley, simply amazing ! Rip Hutch
In my opinion, this is their best song
It's the best song period.
The One Thing (my fave)
I’m starting to consider that. There’s a few I like but yeah this I could listen to over
INXS rocked, still rocks today.....
INXS played at my wife’s high-school leavers celebration in 1979, just before the Umina gig when they officially became INXS.
I’m 25 and only ever heard of INXS when referenced in the tv show The Inbetweeners. I just found this song in a Spotify playlist. I’m having a real tough time but my god this song is incredible!
I was always an Elvis fan until i heard this
Head up Josh
@@scottsv96 thank you man I appreciate that, especially from a stranger. Hopefully you’re doing well man
@@joshbooth7406 anytime👍
Ps.
My workmate played in the same highschool band as Michael and went to school with him
One of the best frontmen of all time.
The 80s were so amazing. It’s been all downhill since.
Exactly.. all garbage since early 90’s
@@richardlacey4923
I’d take Reagan in a minute over any of the last 3-4 guys. Everything is worse.

He was our Elvis. Hot, moody and he blew everyone else away.
But actually knew how to write music as well
Better than Elvis.
yuck, what an awful comparison, he was 10x better than Elvis, and so much classier too, Elvis especially towards the end was gross and sad
What a beautiful man. We miss you MICHAEL. LEGEND💕❤️
NO I disagree! He was our Jim Morrison.
Still miss this guy, amazing voice, such charisma.
Totally agree, sadly missed but loads of great hits remain from this iconic Aussie band.......
🖤
Same 🥰
Home wrecker, smacky too...
Me too
My favourite INXS song for sure. This version is incredible.
What a great time to be alive.
One of the best bands of all time to come out of Australia
Love Australian bands and INXS was one of the best, anywhere!
THE best band ......
Agreed.
@@nickspong9811 well you can’t say the best
IXS are my favourite but they can’t compete with the popularity and sales of AC/DC especially overseas and even in Australia they probably aren’t as classically Australian as a group like Cold Chisel
@@JOVONO the Birthday Party is the best. Love inxs tho!
no auto-tune and no ear monitors! Truly amazing and talented musicians!
And no ridiculous cell phones!! 😂
I was lucky enough to see INXS and Ziggy Marley in Michigan when I was probably 14, I will never forget that concert!
I got to see them a few years after this. Great concert.
I saw Ziggy and INXS on the same tour in Ottawa Canada!❤️💙
He was such a wonderful front man. Just a really beautiful human.
Another song to stand the test of time. This song has constantly been in my life for life changing events and it's amazing how it works out. This song will always be my favorite song ever!
Timeless

I saw them twice also once in 1983 in Michigan and again for Kick tour I think 1987 in San Diego
I saw them in 1984. I send a message tour. I still have the T-shirt.
I actually saw them open for Adam Ant in the early 80s... Crazy to think.
My favorite INXS song. When it first came out they were young & hungry ready to take on the world! Imho I think it's their best! They always closed their shows with it.

Will wieder mal eine liebe Person kennen lernen dürfen die Kinder hat die nicht auf dir Mutter acht r
They are still hungry you POS!!

That head injury after getting hit by that taxi really changed him. He was never the same.
Don't Change is one of the best songs ever written, It's timeless and impactful
July 1985, I just graduated from high school, it was my favorite INXS song back then, and it still is today. Timeless anthem.
86 here.
RIP Michael Hutchence… you will always be remembered and loved😢
I don't think realize there will never be another Live Aid where so many quality bands come together for a single cause.. Some may argue how much it helped. but this was huge..
Hardly anyone plays actual musical instruments anymore. Lol at today's so called artists.
If it happened now, it’d be the same song covered multiple times in different ways
It certainly won't happen :( the good ones that are still here are very few, they can't stand much
@@johndeaux83I agree they don't play instruments or write songs
I was at 85 live aid . Amazing day.
I can’t tell you how many times that I played this song over and over. It was like a drug that I couldn’t get enough of.
This song is my drug too !!❤
The best band in Australia. One of the best lead singers ever. Wish we could bring him back. When I watch this he’s back. RIP.
Despite not being a devout lifelong INXS fan, this song will go down as one of my top 10 of all time hands down.
Same for me… funny though, I still hear this song as ‘Don’t Change The Earth’ and I keep singing that lyric 😂
One of my top 3. Unbelievable song.
this makes me miss my lover so bad, my heart aches. he left this world 2 months ago and I used to always play this song in his car all the time.. one of my favorite songs and it always makes me think of him
That is one sexy man. You are missed. Beautiful voice, uniqueness and one of a kind style. Rip.
The best performance for Live Aid, along with Queen.
Dire Straits were really good too.
I get it. I was in my early twenties when I first heard the hit song “Need You Tonight “ while doing a tour with my husband in Maine. I fell in love with particular song. And now decades later I am so hooked with INXS. I’m just very sorry for the loss of Michael and to the very loyal multi talented band mates. Thank you so very much.
INXS the unsung heroes of Live Aid. When the world said 'Wow these guys are amazing !!'
It was transmitted in Danish television 13th of July 1985, Live aid. During the day there was music from London, Austria,Australia,Ussr,Japan and Usa.
I was in high school when this video came out. Thought is was the best video of all time. Here I am at the gym. 57 years old listening to this.
Tuned into this because Roger Taylor from Queen had mentioned INXS as a great new band.So great to see them taking the mantle after Queen retired from touring.Michael was the last true Rock Star I think
One of my favorite songs nowadays. INXS have got something incredibly especial which I've never realized
Exacto tan especial que pasa el tiempo y te regresa al tiempo cuando salió, incluyendo esa nostalgia que llega cuando sabes que la vida se está llendo
“I found a love, that I had lost”, I think we can all relate on that
What a voice! What a loss!
Don’t hang yourself while you pull your pudd, kids !!

Love Michael. Love INXS. Their music will never go out of style. He was the BEST.
I will never forget the concert I saw in Dallas at Texas Stadium. The Smithereens, Ziggy Marley, Iggy Pop, Guns & Roses and INXS as the headline band. They were awesome!
I covered this song in a band ... 30-years ago. One of my favorites in our set. ☮️

It was called oz for Australia, but it was still apart of live aid
It's highly underrated 🎵
Kick ass 80’s songs----RIP
It must have been a fun time to be a teen/young adult in the 80s. I was born in 1981, so I was just a little kid for most of the 80s
It was pretty cool 😊
It was amazing.
It was great.Time of my life.
The Best of Times !! RIP Michael !!
It was. Live Aid was the summer before senior year in HS. I’m glad I grew up in that era.
My favorite band always.. Rip Michael 😥
Michael jackson?
@@michaelcarlos7605 Michael Hutchence
Charisma, he had. He was a sensual, sexy, dynamic performer with a great voice and stage presence. He is so missed.
Beautiful Man. RIP MICHAEL 💖
Just another Australian gift to the world 🌎. Thank you 🙏🏼
One of the best live bands ever
Lucky enough to see them in San Diego about 1990. Phenomenal show.
Awesome concert - great times!! Miss INXS
Best live performance ever,,,I saw them at least 6 times. I saw them every time they played any where near the Bay Area. So glad I went to every show I could. Never disappointed.. so much energy and FUN, FUN.. I will always miss them.
Saw them countless times in concert. They always finished every show with this song. I miss them.
I Miss Michael!!!! 😪 INXS WAS AWESOME !!! & WILL always Be One of The Best 80's Band !!!
Still my favorite song by INXS
wish he was still here..didn't get to see them in concert. One of my favorite songs from the band.
I love this song. R.I.P. Michael💞🌟
I still can't bring myself to watch MYSTIFY. Michael's death was tragic and I am still upset over it. Miss you MH.
Great DVD. But sad at the end. Such a loss.
Mystify gives me chills then reduces me to tears. I love Michael still
Totally agree. Miss him so much.
If you're not free, you're not living , incredible song.
Best played at maximum volume kids.
Awesome band. I saw them in late 1990 at NEC in Birmingham.

Amo essa música, quanta saudade de vc Michael!!! Quanta falta vc faz!!! Te amo!!!
Effortless Clear Voice. So talented. Great Band.
“A resolution of happiness, things have been dark to long…” 💙
Fantastic band I saw them 25 or 30 times back in the day
Wow beata te!
Best song they ever did...imo.
Absolutely brilliant 👌💕💕.. Michael Hutchence is the best ....always xxx
Miss you Michael 😙
God ...everything is perfect....the voice, the performance, the songs,... the band...R.I.P. Michael
Looks like a fun time back then. No other like Michael Hutchence since he was here.
So lucky to have seen them live Barrowlands Glasgow fantastic ❤
That's a great track and still sounds very fresh - Australia had delivered us one of the great rock n roll bands with INXS - the excitement in that crowd was insane.
Man, that snare was cutting heads. Love that sort of snare sound. Right to the damn point.
Great! Loved them back in the day and music still rocks!
I loved the feeling the introduction to this song inspired listening live. No one else can sing this but Michael.
Not only was INXS amazeballs live, but Hutchence was supremely sexy always! 🔥
Vero sempre perfetto in ogni movimento e nella voce 😍
Damnit, it was so tragic to lose Michael. He was pure sex rock god on stage. Saw them live in 1987.
They were huge in the US. Always being played on the radio, in stores, tv, commercials etc.
I will always love him, a poet when the world didn't know we needed one.❤
Some people just have IT. RIP Michael Hutchence.
What stage charisma 👏👏👏👏👏 uou do t see that now .. fabulous 👏👏👏 presence .. movement 👏👏👏👏👏 lovely to see 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Michael Hutchence!! Un grande de la música. Más de 23 años de su partida y sigue presente. Michael you keep rocking!
Awesome comment 🙂
The Sydney Entertainment Centre was like a 2nd home for INXS. They played so many shows there.
I love watching this. I was there. Front row with my friends. We lined up for hours outside the Ent Cent to be first in. Best times. Miss it all! xx
Michael sure departed this world far, far too soon. RIP.
The summer of 05, I remember watching "Rockstar INXS" , David Navarro was a host , and they were looking for a replacement for Michael Hutchinson, in hopes of reviving their career.
They picked an Elvis Impersonator, but after the show I never heard of them again. I remember them from the early days of MTV and dome radio play. Times have changed since then.
What a great band. I would love to have been in this audience.
Michael Hutchence was a natural at this.
These guys were my first big rock concert in 1991, on the tour for their album X. It was fantastic.
Unfortunately the Sydney Entertainment Centre was demolished in 2016. Many happy memories in that place.
My favorite band since I was a kid...
Best 80s band EVER!!
“It was gone for too long” is always sung incredibly on live versions
