In July 1991, INXS delivered the gig of their lives at London’s Wembley Stadium to 74,000 ecstatic fans. The band played over 2000 shows before singer Michael Hutchence’s untimely passing 20 years ago, but Wembley was THE ONE, both band and crowd knew this would be the performance of a lifetime. Restored from the original 35mm negative as well as audio restored by Giles Martin and Sam Okell at Abbey Road Studios this 2020 version will be the full Wembley soundtrack!
Brisbane-born vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, Cam Giles couldn’t recall a time when music wasn’t front and centre in his life. In Cam’s musical world, anything is possible. After working with INXS in its heyday, Cam feels a special connection to their music. With that, his love of jazz and the strong traditions in jazz to reinterpret tunes, Cam’s tribute to Michael Hutchence and the music of one of the greatest bands to come out of Australia, has been a labour of love. “A couple of years ago I was playing at summer jazz festivals and doing all the classic stuff and thought, let’s mix this up a little.

Underneath the Colours, INXS' second album, was a nearly identical continuation of the new wave pop of their debut, yet the record featured better arrangements and songs.
INXS wasn't quite there yet with Shabooh Shoobah – which, by the way, has to rank as one of the most annoying titles ever conceived – but at more than one point, they reached some total heights. For the most part, however, Shabooh Shoobah is an example of a talented bunch of performers still finding their own identity…

INXS completes its transition into an excellent rock & roll singles band with this album. Unfortunately, the new configuration only works for three songs: "What You Need," "Listen Like Thieves," and "Kiss the Dirt (Falling Down the Mountain)."
