Video

The video was filmed by Richard Lowenstein, over a week of the band while on tour in the style of a home movie,[6] in Mackay in North Queensland.[7] Hutchence asked Lowenstein to come to Queensland to direct after seeing his work on the video for the Hunters & Collectors single "Talking to a Stranger".[8] It was the first of fifteen videos that Lowenstein directed for the band.[7] The video won Best Promotional Video at the 1984 Countdown Music and Video Awards, while the band won Best Group Performance in a Video.[9] On 20 April 1986 they won three further Countdown awards for 1985.[10]
