hairy Posted 7 November 2012 Share Posted 7 November 2012 Come to think of it, I think the one I went to was in 92... did they come to de montfort twice? They finished with Dont Change which was my favourite. I too have a bootleg of the gig somewhere in the attic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lineker's Left Foot Posted 7 November 2012 Share Posted 7 November 2012 Great band and wished I could have seen them. Without sounding snobbish, really loved their earlier punchy stuff like this cracker off the 'Underneath The Colours' album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzFox Posted 12 November 2012 Share Posted 12 November 2012 INXS call it quits “I’m getting teary,†said INXS drummer Jon Farriss on stage on Sunday night as the Australian rock group announced that their appearance as a support act for touring artists Matchbox Twenty at Perth Arena was to be their last ever performance as a group.The band formed in Sydney 35 years ago and recently celebrated the 25th anniversay of their most successful album Kick.Farriss took over the microphone from lead singer Ciaran Gribbin two-thirds of the way through their set to make the announcement to thousands of fans in the venue.He said they didn’t want to reveal anything ahead of the concert, but it was "the last time" they would perform together. Farriss thanked the audience for their support throughout the years. The milestone anniversary of Kick makes it a poignant time for the band to split up. When INXS supported Matchbox Twenty in Sydney they were in a nostalgic mood but evidently enjoying themselves. Some might argue that they even stole the evening from the headliners with a blistering greatest-hits set that culminated with seven consecutive songs from Kick, before the band closed with finale favourite Don’t Change.The news of the band's end comes as a surprise as 35-year-old Irishman Ciaran Gribbin - the latest singer to take the role of front man for the band since the death of Michael Hutchence in 1997 - said in an interview with Fairfax recently that the band had big plans for the future.“They're still creative, they're still hungry to prove they have something to say,†said Gribbin. “They're also still hungry to perform those songs, the songs that were a part of so many peoples' lives growing up.â€There has been no official confirmation of the split despite Fairfax contacting the band's tour promoters; longtime INXS manager Chris Murphy’s label Petrol Electric; and the Universal Music Group, which this year reissued a 25th-anniversary edition of INXS’s most successful album, Kick.http://www.brisbanet...l#ixzz2ByEJmRYN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"In the last three years we've had more sync use in TV ads and movies than they've had in 20 years.... ....While the band have ended their touring days, it is believed Murphy will forge ahead with plans to resurrect their legacy. The highlighted parts are an example of corporate ruining music. I was a fan of INXS, but the band died with Hutchence, the management (and assumedly the band members) just were trying to grab $$$. since his death. A great band that shouldve let go in 97 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad the Fox Posted 5 February 2015 Share Posted 5 February 2015 Saw them at De Montfort hall. Missed college queuing for tickets outside hmv. Wandered round the back of de mint after the gig and came across a crowd where a girl asked for a piggy back so she could see. Once she'd got on I edged forward and she managed to get us an autograph on the ticket, the drummers I think, I even got a lift back to Syston with the girl. I wasn't really into them but my mate was and for a band as big as INXS to be coming to Leicester was quite unique so I thought I'd go along, it was the gig that got me into them. I even wrote a concert review for a free music mag that used to be circulated around Leicester and Leicestershire at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
