INXS fans will rejoice at Live Baby Live, a buoyant concert film shot during an ecstatic performance before 72,000 hopping fans in Wembley Stadium on July 13, 1991. The Australian band's vocalist, the late Michael Hutchence, is at his feral-romantic best, stalking and swivelling his way through an energised set of welterweight pop. The show starts with a big, boomy "Guns in the Sky", takes a turn toward unexpected soulfulness with "New Sensation", and spreads the wealth with a sharp set of ballads and rockers. Hutchence has fun with a naughty "Know the Difference", plays around with a Jagger-esque take on confessional soul in "The Loved One" and milks "Never Tear Us Apart" for all it's worth. The band sounds more muscular than they did in the studio, hard-charging and rough on "Suicide Blonde", drunk on a jazzy guitar hook in "Need You Tonight", and completely danceable on "Bitter Tears." --Tom Keogh
The place is Melbourne Australia 1978. The punk phenomenon is sweeping the country and Dogs in Space a punk group led by Sam (Michael Hutchence) are part of it. In a squat in a dodgy suburb live a ragtag collection of outcasts and don't-wanna-bes who survive on a diet of old TV space films drugs and good music. Add to this a homicidal maniac's lust for his chainsaw and a TV station's offer of money in return for a piece of the Skylab satellite that has just crashed to earth and you have 'Dog In Space'. Featuring the music of Iggy Pop Brian Eno and Michael Hutchence.
