In July 1985, INXS took the stage at the Live Aid concert in Sydney, bringing their infectious energy to a global audience. Just before this iconic performance, they had released 'The Swing' in 1984, which helped define their sound and solidify their place in rock music. Interestingly, this album featured hits like 'Original Sin' that showcased their unique blend of rock, new wave, and dance rhythms.
