Live Baby Live, which captures INXS at sold out iconic concert at Wembley Stadium, will hit theaters Dec. 9
“Twenty-first century’s yesterday,” Michael Hutchence sang on INXS’s signature hit, “Need You Tonight,” from their 1987 album Kick. The band went on to open the last decade of the 20th Century with a legendary concert: their July 13, 1991 show at Wembley Stadium. The film of the show, Live Baby Live, was originally released on video a few months the performance, but never had a theatrical release. Fathom Events will is bring INXS: Live Baby Live at Wembley Stadium to theaters on Monday, Dec. 19.
“Six years to the day of Live Aid and five years and a day since the band supported Queen at Wembley Stadium, INXS headlined their own show at the famed venue to a sell-out crowd of 73,791 crazed fans,” reads the official website. “The event, called ‘Summer XS,’ was immortalized in the best-selling concert film Live Baby Live, directed by David Mallet.
“Twenty-eight years on, the film has been painstakingly restored from the original 35mm negative. The film is now presented in glorious cinematic widescreen, created by going through the film shot by shot and repositioning every single one to get the best out of the frame. The restoration process unveiled a ‘lost’ performance, which was not included in the original releases – ‘Lately’ from the X album. It is now returned to its rightful position in the concert setlist.”
Live Baby Live has been fully restored from its original 35mm print to create a new widescreen 4K Ultra HD version.
