PHOTOS of INXS at the Ogden Theatre in Denver, Colorado

Photo essay: INXS @ the Ogden Theatre

By | July 27th, 2011 | 5 comments

INXS played to a full house at the Ogden Theatre on Monday night. The band continues to rely on the Farriss brothers — Andrew, Jon and Tim — for its distinctively funky rock sound, but current frontman J.D. Fortune did an admirable job both on vocals and as a performer. The band doesn’t have the same edge it did in the days of Michael Hutchence, but still carried the INXS classics in respectable fashion. The band’s current tour in support of the compilation album “Original Sin” may be a momentum-builder for a new record, if there’s anything to the comments Andrew and Tim Farriss have been making in the past few months. It’s been six years since the band’s last album “Switch,” and fans are ready.

    Thanks, everyone for the kudos on the photos. Gotta love bands who make time to stage a show well. Makes all the difference in the photos. Thanks lighting geniuses, thanks Ogden Theater, and most of all thanks INXS. Come back soon! Had a blast and glad the photos did the show justice. -MARK OSLER (Twitter.com/MarkOslerPhoto) (JustRemarkable.com) (PJeye.com) (Facebook.com/MarkOslerPhoto)

    Really enjoyed the show Monday night.  It was my first show post-Michael, and he’s definitely missed, but J.D. does an admirable job filling some very large shoes.

    JD Fortune is ONLY a Michael Hutchence impersonator. The rest of the band are brilliant musical  artists. Their music is timeless and they play as good as they ever did. I think Kirk has even gotten better playing the different instruments. Multi-talented man.
