If you are a real INXS fan and want to get them on video, get this now. It is essentially the last INXS video available, though none of us know why. The footage is great and the overview and videos are spectacular! Watching it reminds you of just how cool Michael Hutchence and the band's music is. I've already got two copies and I suggest that if you really like the band that you do the same. This, unfortunately, is probably it. Who would have thought, in this great country of technology and availability, that it is vitually impossible to obtain music and music videos! Get this now!

I was somewhat disappointed in this video insofar as the lack of behind-the-scenes stuff on it. There were no decent interviews of band members; only sound-bites. I was hoping they would have some rarely seen documentary-type video of the group talking and doing their thing before and after the shows. Unfourtunately, there was precious little of that. They did have a good segment of Michael Hutchence playing "Mystify" on the piano in the studio which was really cool! Also the music of course was great and a good deal of my favorite songs were included. The narration, however, left much to be desired; the guy sounded like he was trying to hurry up and get it over with as fast as possible. I'm sure the script was written with an appeal to a general audience; kinda like Joe Friday, "just the facts" so for anyone who's followed the band at all there's no really interesting commentary.
To sum up: Pretty decent collection of music videos but fairly shallow.

The documentary part of this video is only so-so, and uses a split screen format that can get annoying, but does include some remixes (from "X") cut with live footage. The real reason this collection is a must-have is that the last forty minutes or so of the tape include the FULL videos for the singles from "Welcome To Wherever You Are" and three songs from "Full Moon, Dirty Hearts", plus "The Strangest Party". Fantastic! The clip for "Taste It" alone makes this tape well worth the ten bucks!

If you are an INXS fan, this is a must have...epecially since the videos on it were rarely seen on MTV, epecially the video for "Taste it" which was banned....when you see it, you will see why!! LONG LIVE INXS RIP Michael Hutchence, you are missed dearly

The music of INXS has an excellent beat. It will make you want to stop what you're doing to dance to that beat.
