I miss Michael Hutchence...So talented, unique, & very hott! The band INXS, definitly one of a kind. No one can ever replace Michael & his strong presence,I find him so captivating even my husband knows how I feel about this man. It's a shame & sad he is no longer w/us to continue to share himself & his music for the world to enjoy.But we have his memories to reflect on & enjoy, Michael was definitly a free spirit & enjoyed his life, his music, & his family & friends. He will never be forgotten.
For those who weren't much around when this video came out, for a second these guys were *huge*. I remember during the music video awards for this year (1988) every time the name "INXS" came up in the nomination list all you could hear were several thousand starstruck teenage girls screaming. And of course, they pretty much swept the awards. They were really better than the changing times afforded them.
Actually it's exact opposite: it's the law *not* to. No joke. The FCC has a regulation that no public airwaves station can play two tracks from the same album within I think it's sixty minutes. I found this out when I was working a community radio station and wanted to do exactly this. There's really no shortage of things that have turned me into an anarchist. Really, this is one of the better arguments for it. We have an entire generation of kids that have never once heard this song in its proper form. That's a crime against humanity in itself.
This GREAT group will live on forever. I remember being in the audience at the Kabuki Theater in San Francisco in the 80's when the producers announced a there would be a special USA "debut" performance by an unknown Aussie band called INXS. They did not come on till 2am but BROUGHT THE HOUSE DOWN!! The crowd went crazy. WOW! T.
OMG! I loved INXS and Michael. He had one the best voices on earth. I've always wondered about his daughter. I hope her life has been Ok and she's come to grips with his death and her mothers too. RIP!
Fantastic!!! These two songs together match perfectly. I love Michael. He had a big heart. He was so beautiful, both outside and inside. I love him, RIP
Amazing song! Awesome group! I can still listen to INXS today and I still feel the same way I did when I first heard their music! And mediate is THE BEST!!
This video brings back memories... when I was a young kid back in the mid 90's I would sit in front of the tv and watch my mom's tape of this album... Need You Tonight, Devil Inside, Guns in the Sky, New Sensation... memories. I forgot how stellar this album was and thankfully the other day I decided to look up the hits from Kick.
I would get so irritated if they only play "Need You Tonight" without the "Mediate". Come on, you DJ's , those two songs go well together and should be played together!
My dad bought the "Best of" CD a long time ago. Only yesterday while listening to XM, I became aware that the "Mediate" part existed... Now I am listening to this non-stop!
Wow...this song and video were played round the clock when I was in the 8th/9th grade (in Italy). I'm a funkateer, but these guys got my attentioin with the KICK album. This is some serious MINIMALISTIC funk.
OMG- all that man had to do was exist and he was a work of art! And the he could sing, move like that and have that great hair. You had us all at "Come over here."
One of my favorite groups! I ran my fingers through Michaels hair at a concert at the TLA in Philly in the 80's...the stage was low..he was so close..and...God was he HOT!! R.I.P.
Dang.... I remember when I was 6 years old and this RUclips video was released.. I'm 15 now... I use to dance on my coffee table to these two songs when I was young. My mom and dad hooked the computer up to the 64 inch flat screen we had and we would jam out to this EXACT video. Good olé memories :') I miss the old days...
Hutch had the coolest swag when he walked. I would so love him to be stiil alive ! It should be a law to always play these songs back to back on the radio.
hanauta3cho SMALL BIT OF A PART THERE THAT SOUNDS LIKE..."TAPS"...I BELIEVE IS THE NAME...MOSTLY PLAYED DURING THE LOSE OF...OR FUNERALS OF MILITARY SOLDIERS AND SUCH...
+Melanie H Yeah, tell Bob Geldolf that. That POS was the reason he committed suicide. He could give away all his money for world peace and it will NEVER make up for taking Michael away from us.
I remember this! The "Mediate" song right after this one. Got lots of play on MTV in 1988. I am sure it came out in 1987. Saw it a lot in 1988 though as a kid. We paid attention to music even if understanding things wasn't top priority with music.
I used to hate when the song's ID tag would come up right after the last line of "I Need You Tonight" because that meant that the "Mediate" half of the song wasn't about to come on.
Doobie1975 Yes indeed! They were meant to played together! Amazing band...from when I first heard "The One Thing" and "Don't Change" in 1982 to "Elegantly Wasted" in 1997! This IS their best album...though Listen Like Thieves before it (their edgiest) and X after this were also GREAT! Peaked in popularity from '85-'91 for sure...but loved it all! R.I.P. Michael!! You are sorely missed!!!
Wonderful song, used to play on the radio in '87 all the time ! Sad it had to end with his tragic loss 10 yrs. later. Such a similar story to Jim Morrison ...both taken too soon and tragically. Also, their significant others passed away approx. 3 years later. Pamela Courson in 1974 and Paula Yates in 2000. Very talented...
It is so hard to believe that it has been 20yrs.! OH JOY! My 20th high school reunion is tonite! (11/22/08) I dunno 'bout any of you...but I am still living in that time! LOL! Music wise....
Ah! Finally I have found this version of I need you tonight. I haven't heard the mediate part since the song came out. I know i'm late but OP thanks for posting it.

This is without question one of THE greatest music videos ever created, an absolutely flawless work of visual art.

INXS was one hell of a band. So much great music. Thank you, Australia!!
It should be a law to always play these songs back to back on the radio.

I agree 💯 percent they should do both song that what makes the song 👍
Pro trick: watch series at Flixzone. I've been using it for watching all kinds of movies lately.
This GREAT group will live on
forever. I remember being in the
audience at the Kabuki Theater
in San Francisco in the 80's when
the producers announced a there
would be a special USA "debut"
performance by an unknown Aussie
band called INXS. They did not
come on till 2am but BROUGHT THE
HOUSE DOWN!! The crowd went crazy.
WOW! T.
OMG! I loved INXS and Michael. He had one the best voices on earth. I've always wondered about his daughter. I hope her life has been Ok and she's come to grips with his death and her mothers too. RIP!
Ahh...reminds me of the old days when MTV did what it was supposed to do: play music videos!!
The last part is hauntingly mesmerizing. I get goosebumps every time I hear it. The 80's was the best era ever.
Why don't they ever play this version on the radio? It's so great!
Christine Lord They did, back in the day.
I love need you tonight, but mediate was my favorite part of this video
Hutch had the coolest swag when he walked.
"In 98....we all rotate!" Classic!
Fantastic!!! These two songs together match perfectly. I love Michael. He had a big heart. He was so beautiful, both outside and inside. I love him, RIP
Amazing song! Awesome group! I can still listen to INXS today and I still feel the same way I did when I first heard their music! And mediate is THE BEST!!
I luv this when BOTH of the songs are played together
my first white boy crush omg ❤ his hair and the way he moves omg. i can't even keep my composure 😍😍😍
LOL
Ha how old are you. Just curious.
Sexy sob
Racism
I had plenty of them in the 80's...(crushes)
Two of my favorites by this group. I still remember how sad I felt when I found out their singer passed away. Rock on!
this still bangs. a funk classic
Totaly agree....
In the 80s, every song on the weekly charts was a hit.
Now you would be hard pressed to find anything likeable.
man I miss MTV and VH1 takes me back
I love INXS and I'm only 18, so you're right. Good music never dies.
"You're one of my kind."
great line
RIP Michael!
Damn it, Michael. You got lost in a moment that would have passed. How many great songs have gone unheard?
Yes and I think Bono of U2 said it right
Some songs you can't stay still on. This is definitely one of them!!
This video brings back memories... when I was a young kid back in the mid 90's I would sit in front of the tv and watch my mom's tape of this album... Need You Tonight, Devil Inside, Guns in the Sky, New Sensation... memories. I forgot how stellar this album was and thankfully the other day I decided to look up the hits from Kick.

plb525 I hear you on that. I believe the decision was based on time/commercials etc. I heard the whole song very rarely on the radio.
My dad bought the "Best of" CD a long time ago. Only yesterday while listening to XM, I became aware that the "Mediate" part existed... Now I am listening to this non-stop!
Dude. I STILL expect to hear "Mediate" after "Need you tonight." and get PISSED when they cut me short
THEY DID AT MY CLUB!
i even made my own flip-cards!
still relevant today
God! They were so good live! Michael just had a way on stage.....LOVE!
Well said!! Im glad he still wants you and has you!! I hope both of you have a happy long life together!!!!
Wow...this song and video were played round the clock when I was in the 8th/9th grade (in Italy). I'm a funkateer, but these guys got my attentioin with the KICK album. This is some serious MINIMALISTIC funk.
This is a candidate for most awesome song in music history...
Absolutely. I could replay this over and over through the day and I would be set.
OMG- all that man had to do was exist and he was a work of art! And the he could sing, move like that and have that great hair. You had us all at "Come over here."
One of my favorite groups! I ran my fingers through Michaels hair at a concert at the TLA in Philly in the 80's...the stage was low..he was so close..and...God was he HOT!! R.I.P.
I had this on cassette ,love it
"On 98 we all rotate" Awesome song(s)!
i must propagate how awesome to hear this on high rotate[tion] LIBERATE and enjoy the ening!!
Hutchence almost made to 1998.
wolfmann442 That was a great behind-the-back move!!! Great timing, as well.
There is something about 80's music that is just magical.
Dang.... I remember when I was 6 years old and this RUclips video was released.. I'm 15 now... I use to dance on my coffee table to these two songs when I was young. My mom and dad hooked the computer up to the 64 inch flat screen we had and we would jam out to this EXACT video. Good olé memories :') I miss the old days...
Half the reason I listened to this song was fort the Mediate part at the end.
Anything by Inxs is amazing but I do love the mediate part of this song
I see what you did there. ½
Mediate hesitate litigate stimulate masturbate incarcerate fornicate stipulate adjudicate communicate desolate punctuate irritate defecate and then considerate
One of the great 1980's videos
I love the way Michael whispers 'Come over here'.....Melts me :)
This is one of my all time favorite songs! Inxs will always be one of my fav bands! Michael Hutchence was so sexy!!
He had this Jim Morrison esk to him that was cool
esque
very much Jim Morrison [ESQUE ] ESQUIRE ! these days the suffix would be- ISH !! sad loss to us ENJOY HIS LEGACY and enjoy the evening!!
Jim Morrison and Michael are in Heaven discussing all the stage presence and charisma and chicks they both had in their short existence on earth.
I see Jim Morrison and Mick Jagger in him
I've had a crush on the drummer since 1987 lol
Hutch had the coolest swag when he walked.
I would so love him to be stiil alive !
It should be a law to always play these songs back to back on the radio.
This is the Jam. I loved this joint when I was a teenager and I still rock it in my truck when I go to work.
all you got is this moment
Twenty First Century's Yesterday...
sax solo 5:07 haunting
I always thought the same thing
hanauta3cho SMALL BIT OF A PART THERE THAT SOUNDS LIKE..."TAPS"...I BELIEVE IS THE NAME...MOSTLY PLAYED DURING THE LOSE OF...OR FUNERALS OF MILITARY SOLDIERS AND SUCH...
I adore his voice.
RIP michael!!!
I can say I had the pleasure to them live...awesome show!!!
I would so love him to be stiil alive !
+Melanie H Yeah, tell Bob Geldolf that. That POS was the reason he committed suicide. He could give away all his money for world peace and it will NEVER make up for taking Michael away from us.
Damn shame that he's gone. Thanks for the tunes.
this legit broke my heart i only knew this song cause i was born in '92 💔💔💔😭😭😭
@@66katemom No he was lonely and wanted an awesome orgasm
Thanks for the opening there, mate. I hit the floor thinking it was actually someone shooting a AK outside.
what neighborhood do you live in to think that?
1269RedJester Those did not sound like Ak47 rounds. However, they did sound like standard Hollywood gunshot sound effects
A definite 80's classic. INXS at its finest, with the inimitable Michael Hutchence leading the way. One of my fave tracks of all time.
Very true!! The creative and meaningful songs never make it to radio today.
Damn, Michael Hutchence was hott...just saying.
hell yea😝😝😝
I agree!!
You know you prefer the guy in the hat.
He was on Fire.😁❤❤
@@Ram44 Lol!
Great song, but every one fails to mention the tribute to Bob Dylan with the "Mediate" being just like "Subterranean Home Sick Blues"
Ariel Bravo They have no idea. ruclips.net/video/MGxjIBEZvx0/видео.html
I remember this! The "Mediate" song right after this one. Got lots of play on MTV in 1988. I am sure it came out in 1987. Saw it a lot in 1988 though as a kid. We paid attention to music even if understanding things wasn't top priority with music.
everytime i listen to this takes me wayback,the best friends i lost,some i lost contact.time flies .club sarah's rocks that time
6th grade jam and looking bad he Michael STILL FINE in this video! The drummer was hot too but Michael was the king!
oh yes ❤
I used to hate when the song's ID tag would come up right after the last line of "I Need You Tonight" because that meant that the "Mediate" half of the song wasn't about to come on.
I agree this song is meant to be heard with the "Mediate" section.
Doobie1975 Yes indeed! They were meant to played together! Amazing band...from when I first heard "The One Thing" and "Don't Change" in 1982 to "Elegantly Wasted" in 1997! This IS their best album...though Listen Like Thieves before it (their edgiest) and X after this were also GREAT! Peaked in popularity from '85-'91 for sure...but loved it all! R.I.P. Michael!! You are sorely missed!!!
Doobie1975 True. They go hand in hand!
Even though I was so young when INXS was around, I always thought Michael was my generation’s Jim Morrison ❤❤❤
Watching this video just makes me think. Of how great he truly was. RIP Micheal.
'how do ya feel-I'm lonely'
'what do ya think-can't think @all'
'what you gonna do-gonna live my life'
'I've Got 2let you know-you're one of my kind'-
Michael has amazing flow on Mediate he's would've been a good rapper
This is how videos should be made. Just fantastic to watch!
Wonderful song, used to play on the radio in '87 all the time ! Sad it had to end with his tragic loss 10 yrs. later. Such a similar story to Jim Morrison ...both taken too soon and tragically. Also, their significant others passed away approx. 3 years later. Pamela Courson in 1974 and Paula Yates in 2000. Very talented...
One Group that makes me "Kick myself in the head" for not having gone and seen them in concert!
did he channel morrison..or just take lessons..either way..its unique and sick..
Great band great music..Love them and there videos It was a good time for music. Miss it much.
A sweet kiss and caress for you Michael.
Thanks for your music from Italy.
The gospel
The "special date" 9-8 1945 or august 9, 1945 the day the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki Japan
you are so right. i love all of those years.
Never knew the rest of America HAD to have these two played back to back.
why do great voices have to die so young?
Andrea Massey Self explanatory
makes me sweat
The best song that they had by a long shot - unbeatable!
No nos olvidemos de INXS, que viva por siempre su música!!
Thanx for irritating the shit out of me me with those intro gunshots.
That intro is just excessive...
This is the song that had me at Hello!!! I love INXS because of this song!!
I still miss Hutchince. Their music was not ordinary pop by any era, and was instantly something timeless.
Well...that intro was terrible.
Now, THAT's the way these songs were meant to be played! Back to Back! Just as they did back when MTV used to play music!!
Yes I agree completely,"Need Tonight" is the most played INXS song on radio.
OOO i totally love this song and video I never get tired of hearing this song and Never Tear Us Apart!!! Luv yah MH
Thanks for posting Need You tonight & Mediate back-to-back. I think it was this time of year of Michael's passing. A beautiful soul.
I wish I could turn back time. What an era!
Great video. 80's music still rocks!!!...
It is so hard to believe that it has been 20yrs.! OH JOY! My 20th high school reunion is tonite! (11/22/08) I dunno 'bout any of you...but I am still living in that time! LOL! Music wise....
I love this jam! this is from when MTV actually showed videos! R.I.P.Michael we still and always will love you!
I saw these awesome guys two times in concert...met them in person & holy-moley...MICHAEL - you're a beautiful man! You ARE missed!
Ah! Finally I have found this version of I need you tonight. I haven't heard the mediate part since the song came out. I know i'm late but OP thanks for posting it.
Great song & band. He got swag. Thanks for sharing.
love it!
saw em last year!
great band!
RIP M.H.
This band was unique. One of a kind.
The absolutely sexiest song ever in rock music history!!!! And you can dance to it !!!!!
anything that sounds fresh today but was made in 1986 is, to me, ahead of its time.
