[edit] Video release
Live Baby Live is a live video of INXS's performance at Wembley Stadium directed by David Mallet. It was released simultaneously as the live CD of the same name.
The concert was the second-last of a string of concerts in London for INXS's "XS Summer tour". The video was re-released as a DVD in 2003 and was digitally remixed and mastered in 5.1 surround sound. The band played to a sold out crowd of over 72,000 fans.
The concert was held on Saturday 13 July 1991, on the six year anniversary of the original Live Aid concert at the same venue. The gates opened at noon and showtime started at 2:00 p.m. The concert was shot with 16 35 mm cameras that also included a camera in a helicopter that continuously circled the venue.
