One of the greatest female Rock singers ever. She was taken too soon. We miss her.

Chrissy's energy brought out the best in these musicians.

She was OUR Stevie Nicks🇦🇺 ❤you for your music and all the good times in the 80s -90s RIP sweetheart

I don't think most people in Australia appreciated just how special is was to to have this rock goddess, when we had her. There was nothing like her beforehand and nothing like her since.

those great days are long gone, never to be seen again; apart from sweet sweet memories....

This incredible band and Christine was signed to Chrysalis Records and I had the honour of showing them around L.A. on their first visit. She was so nice and down to earth. I mourn for her....Rock in Peace Chrissie!!!

My God. They were amazing. Such an underrated band

Saw them play with the Saints at Beaumaris RSL - when she wore the school uniform, OMG I was right up front, saw the sweat falling from her raw lioness energy, never forget the power, what a woman, what a voice, what a time to be alive!

My 2 cents worth. Love her voice. Have loved her from the 80s. Driving in my HQ Holden from Christchurch to the coast with my mate, full noise Divinyls, Dave Dobbyn,... I'm back there again ❤. Thanks ❤

Lucky buggers who got to see them live. Never had the opportunity.

I saw them live once in Kings Cross in Sydney. A free street concert.

She was a bonafide rock goddess. RIP Chrissie.

I was right up close for this on the right hand side. EXPO 88 had so many great concerts. Got to see Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham too 👍🏻

As a budding teenager drummer in the 80's, I loved the Divinyls, the lyrics, the drums, Chrissie, everything.

This was one solid rock act. Excellent performers and good songs. Better than many much bigger pop acts today. Wish I had seen them live. Would have got my money's worth.

Saw them at Newcastle Workers, when they walked out the club tilted from all the young blokes rushing the stage trying to look up her skirt ;-) I was in the balcony.

We miss you Chrissy Amphlett RIP Babe. ❤💋

wow ,I was there but not there .Expo yes Divinyls no.I really missed out !! Loved and respected Chris Amphlett's courage to sing those lyrics in those days ,even now I suppose

As a teenager in the 80s,Pleasure and Pain,Temperamental and Back to the Wall I played till my ears bled. So many other great songs I know but those ones stir the great memories for me in the 80s.Love you Mark and Chrissy.Chrissy,you were a goddess then and you still are even though you are no longer with us.Rock on baby.R.I.P.

Great band - Awesome times at Expo and Divinyls were also magic at the old fisho's on the GC - South East Qld was so amazing in the 80's for live rock

Brilliant Band

So good 😊

A Great Performer RIP CHRISTINE

Interesting band - I just chanced on this I have ben listening to pop and rockmusic since 1970 and have never heard of them before. There is a first time for everything. Must have been grest concerts, way back when,.

I have not seen a lot of live footage of Divinyls. Thanks for this. The woman was extremely hot and had a very alluring voice. Sadly left us at a young age. She was on the cusp of greatness

Great Band. Chrissy, ALL WOMAN. MISS YOU.

Chrissy is, and was a Warrior!! R.I.P. Christina Amphlett. Your voice got me through war(s). 🙏🏼 Got home, and your voice welcomed me. 👊🏼🙏🏼

Divinyls always played very loud but their sound was crystal clear. You could hear every word Chrissy sang. Extremely good band, super exciting too.

I think most people here in the US only know of them from I Touch Myself, but they were so much more, great band, great talent, huge loss

I was neighbours with Chrissy and Mark in 89/90. Nice people of Darlinghurst. X

Incredible talent all around. I was working in a large record store in the US when their first album debuted. We had freedom to open new vinyl to play in the store, and it was quickly apparent that this new band had something special. Been a fan ever since.

So glad I caught them live in Cleveland (91?). GREAT concert! "Science Fiction" is one of my favorite songs of all time. AC/DC, INXS, DIVINYLS.......Australia ROCKS!

DIVINYLS .... Christine Amphlett, Aussie Rock at a premium!

Definitely on the of the top 3 rock bands in Australia. So much magic between Mark McEntee & Christine Amphlett. I never knew they played at World Expo 88

​@@mikerieck306 Neon Ballroom from '99 was well received with hits like Ana's Song, Anthem for the Year 2000 etc and '97 their Freak Show had some songs that were thrashed on radio that people loved. Frogstomp will always be their best album imo. I wasn't a big fan but liked a few of their songs and played Frogstomp a fair bit. Loved playing it on guitar as well. Basic but enjoyable to play along to. The songs Anthem for the Year 2000 and Freak were good to play on guitar too. I laughed when they got pissed off and denied being inspired by Nirvana. Their style says it all. Especially in the film clip for Tomorrow where Daniel has the exact same hair, clothes and even the same stance. Cobain-esque BIG time. They should've felt proud to be dubbed Australia's answer to Nirvana instead of despising it. I guess I should cut them a break. They were just kids after all.

Chrissy sang so fucking well here (top notch playing by McEntee as well). She was 29 at the concert, and little did they know that international success was only just around the corner for them, hitting the charts all over the world in 1990 with I Touch Myself.

Chrissie and the Divinyls were always massive in Australia. But in the same era, we produced lnXs, AC/DC were well established, Kylie was on the rise. Divinyls and lcehouse were huge, and for Aussie bands it was a Golden Era!!

Damn they were a great band. I saw them only twice, in '82 and later in '88, and they put one a great show both times. The first time at the old San Miguel in Cameray. Mark even played wearing a foot cast having broken his leg and the second time at Selina's Coogee Bay Hotel they played with The Saints and I think Cheap Trick.

Thanks for posting. I miss Chrissie and DiVinyls all the time.

I use to live a couple of k's away from these 2. I use to score weed off their bodyguard, he certainly was a character. Never met the pair though, they were very reclusive.

Amazing world class unique and sorely missed...i saw the Divinyls live twice in my life (once at parramatta leagues club..and i actually said g'day tp Christina i was wowed)..ive seen some of the best rockers in the world live and the Divinyls were among the best...and aussie....imagine seeing INXS one week and The Divinyls the next weekend..so spoiled at that time.

Massive talent...what stage presents.

Saw them in Balmain Leagues club 1983 and I saw Tina Turner in Revesby Workers club same year. True story. Actually Tina might have been 82

I Much preferred Chrissy in the School Uniform than Angus!!💋💓😉

Greatly missed. I saw them play the Palace in Melbourne nye early 90's . Although l enjoy heavier music I'll never forget how tight and good they were live. Australian icons.

This is incredible. Goes to show what a voice she had.

So glad to find this. Performance and video production are excellent. Audio is to be expected for a VHS copy. But Chrisy's singing and phrasing are amazing and Mark plays great and is a solid conductor. Somewhere, perhaps there is an original 2-inch videotape lying around waiting to be discovered. Great work and thanks for posting!

Wow. Thank you so much! Loved Divinyls since 1982. Outstanding stuff!

Out of Amphlett and Wilson(70's. Ann) i still naturally gravitate and lean left(cough) onto Chrissy for being the sexiest ever in Rock musics history.

A true rock Goddess.

1981 first heard Divinyls on the radio. Reading the comments. How long ago did she pass? And wheres the rest of the band? 🎶 🎵

Got hooked on Divinyls in 83 on the US west coast. One of you older Californians could help me a bit. First saw them on a midnight weekend rock show, Don Kirshner's Rock Concert? It aired on tv and had an FM radio simulcast. It appeared to be a studio performance and Miss Amphlett was wearing the black, white frocked doll costume. The video feed was clear as a bell, audio was great with a good radio. Having followed the traditional rock venue presentation, for a while, I tuned in for my next weekend dose only to find a goth type doll prepared to entertain the masses (had my doubts thrown in my face quickly), best recollection was a three tune set, Boys in Town, Only Lonely and Science Fiction ( I think). It blew me away, the band and Chrissy were so in sync with performance and offered a phycological insight that would haunt everyone. Couldn't put that behind me.
