MUSIC: On heavy rotation

I was very positively surprised by the last music DVD I bought, i.e. a live from INXS, the Australian band, shot in July 1991 (!) in the London’s Wembley Stadium. About 72’000 fans were present and were actively participating to this band’s landmark – in the documentary, you feel that this concert was a turning point for the band and a kind of peak in their career. I rarely saw so many people (about two third!) dancing, shouting and applauding during the whole concert. Impressive!

This live version of the tracks is really more “rough” than the studio ones. Some are also very funky. All in all, I was quite impressed by the musicians, and specially by the rhythmical part (drummer, bass player).

The DVD is remastered in Dolby Digital 5.1, with a good quality and volume distribution between the channels, which is definitely not the case with all the remastering. It also contains some very interesting documentaries about the concert, its preparation and the evolution of the pressure, stress and mood of the band.
