Great re-enactment! Everyone, don't overlook the amazing keyboardist. Nick's original sparkling keyboard patterns were programmed. This keyboardist is playing every nanosecond of a tone note for note! Give him the credit he deserves!
The look on his face when his son just nailed the sax solo and went right into his singing part was incredible. You can feel hiw proud he was and just hearing him crush the vocals while playing afterward took everything up a level. Singing while drumming is incredibly hard. Like, really really hard. He nailed it.
@@JosephTavano You are all so nice. I've loved / played this song a long time. Another version from pandemic: ruclips.net/video/V9xIHDsPXBQ/видео.htmlsi=mH3o2DFsrk_GWkKn
Few people (non musicians) realize how talented John Taylor, Duran Duran bassist was. That guy... whew! This bass playing "Jam Dad" is KILLIN' IT on this bass part. These guys are good! 🦾😎🤙🏼
Most non musicians are clueless about most bassists, sadly. Taylor has always been a beast. It's sad that there are still people who dismiss Duran Duran as some hack teen hearthrob pop band, when they're actually really talented songwriters and musicians.
HOLY EFF. GOTTA CALL THIS OUT. Did anyone even see this? The original keyboardist used sequencers. THIS GUY ACTUALLY PLAYED THE PART WITHOUT SEQUENCERS. 🤯🤯🤯
The original didn't use a sequencer, it used an arpeggiator - you hold the chord and the pattern plays based on the setting (typically up, down or random)... I suspect the keyboard player here [pre] recorded that part it in exactly the same way, and is miming here for the video - there is no way you can keep that pace up note perfect for nearly six minutes. Don't get me wrong, these guys are awesome - but their videos clearly include an element of pre-recording along with the [majority of] live vocals and solos.
Looking forward to some Huey Lewis covers. Heart of Rock and Roll? Power of Love? New Drug? Think Huey songs would play perfectly with your playfulness.
In addition to everyone’s talent, something that makes these enjoyable to watch is that it is clear that they these folks are having a blast covering these songs
These people just make you wish you could hang out with them in the garage. The whole band always does a great job, but of particular note, Sweet Teddy and Kestrin really nailed it!
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat the actual hell, people - save some friggin' talent for the rest of the world, would ya?! THIS SLAPS SO GODDAMN HARD!!! Every single one of you absolutely killed it on this, but I gotta give extra love to Smokin' Sweet Teddy P layin' down those sick grooves and Jon, who nailed those keyboard parts note for note!
Who needs a Jupiter-4 arpeggiator when you can play it by hand? Mad respect. Shout out to Teddy, absolutely nailed the bass line. Drums, vocals, horns, guitar... perfect. 10/10 😸👍

As a bass player I need not mention how good the bass player is. It is obvious. Instead I wish to pay compliments to the drummer. The bass player's partner in crime. Wowsers. He sings too, like Levon Helm.
Me too. (they are still my favorite group). DD would love the fact that they chose their song. This group band is really good. Making me miss Duran Duran. 😃😃😃 Their concert was awesome!!!
This is the third cover I've listened to today. This is the most I've been entertained all week. I wish they would give the full band credits at the beginning or the end of each video.
That bass line is no joke. But then I realize that the keyboard player is manually doing what is normally the job of a synth arpeggiator. Both seriously impressive!
This is damned incredible. Rio is one of the hardest songs of the 80s to cover well and everyone nailed it. The switch into double time during the sax solo is iconic and it sounded fantastic here.
Lots of people talking about the awesome bass, which is totally deserved, but I remember playing the hell out of this song on pro drums in Rock Band, it's a work out and David Wain killed it! 🤘
This is your best cover yet. And that's saying a lot because they are all great. Holy crap Wain is a really good drummer, very impressed. Very impressed with each member of the band. Thanks.
I have heard this song most of my life, but I never appreciated it until this video. MADJB just brings out somethings that I don't notice in the original. The drums are complex but tight. Same for the bass. The guitar is minimal but essential. The keys have a LOT going on. Sax and trumpet are remarkably satisfying on top of all this. Nadia's laughs fit in so well I was shocked not to hear them when I relistened to the original. Really great work here.
I have recommended this band to my coworkers dozens of times based just on the few videos that I have watched. I think that it would be best if the band stayed together and recorded many more videos.
I love doing the song in my solo acoustic gig - too fun. Ken gives it a subtle but charming lounge act feel. The laughing in the bridge and the dance moves are perfect. The rhythm section kills it. Keep up the great work guys and gals!
WOW...as a musician AND listener, WOW...Elite musicians & then some. I would LOVE to hear your version of Huey Lewis - "If This is it" or/and "Stuck With You" Please!!! :)
When I think Duran Duran I think 32nd notes on the high hat and crazy good bass. This cover shows it. I’m giving the bassist a lot of credit not just for this song but for all their songs - they do a lot of songs with less busy bass and he is always rock solid.
Speaking as a long-time fan of Duran Duran… Wow. This vid is sneaky. You think it’s going to be, at best, a cover, or at worst, a spoof. What you have here, though, is something that, intentionally or not, reflects a love of the source material. The original DD hit had ‘moments’ you wanted to hear again, which is why you’d rewind the tape and listen again. They’ve captured many of those moments here. Shout out to all the talented musicians who contributed on this. I wasn’t expecting what I heard. Well done.
You all worked pretty hard on this one, hard to compliment just one the most... but the keyboard, bassist, and drummer were absolutely CRUSHING it. Next level talent but having a blast.
Everyone here is wonderful. And an extra bit of praise for whomever did the sound mixing to actually let us hear every single part coming together in the whole.
Smashing good cover of a killer song. Props to the bass player as this is an absolute sleerper song when it comes to the bass line. You did right by John Taylor.
I love these guys! It sends me right back to the days when I was behind the wheel of my Olds Cutlass with the windows down and the radio turned up. Have you considered Hair of the Dog by Nazareth. Best cowbell you'll ever find.
Bass and Keys need EXTRA recognition on this one. Like seriously, you guys need to start mentioning this shit. Even the origial band couldn't pull off what I just saw.
I've loved yinz since WHAS and you're making new fans that wanna see that stuff. Thank you. Scene's from an Italian Restaurant, I did a standing ovation for you in my living room...
Bassist is the real hero here
it is definitely an iconic bass part, full of 80's goodness!
Sweet Teddy P gets it DONE
for real, dude's just standing there looking like he knows how badass it is, while ripping off this killer bassline. Champion.
The guy on keyboards manually playing what was an automated arpeggiator part on a Jupiter 4 is no slouch either
100%
Great re-enactment! Everyone, don't overlook the amazing keyboardist. Nick's original sparkling keyboard patterns were programmed. This keyboardist is playing every nanosecond of a tone note for note! Give him the credit he deserves!
I noticed that too. No arpeggiator here!
Noticed that too!
Haha! First thing I noticed.
We used to have that MIDI controler in our music tech lab at the college. NO WAY he's playing that in real time. That keyboard is stiff!
He’s nuts on every song
The 80's wasn't a decade, it was an emotion. 😎👾
My emotion was happy in the 80s 😊
David Wain just tearing it up on drums and vocals at the same time makes me unreasonably happy.
The look on his face when his son just nailed the sax solo and went right into his singing part was incredible. You can feel hiw proud he was and just hearing him crush the vocals while playing afterward took everything up a level. Singing while drumming is incredibly hard. Like, really really hard.

Would love to hear his vocals on the B-52’s Love Shack. He would rock Fred Schneider’s part.
@@JosephTavanofor sure, it’s definitely harder than singing while playing guitar
youre not kidding he killed it!

Oh yeah, Duran Duran had killer bass lines
Bad ass bass playing bro. You are a master.
HOLY EFF. GOTTA CALL THIS OUT. Did anyone even see this? The original keyboardist used sequencers. THIS GUY ACTUALLY PLAYED THE PART WITHOUT SEQUENCERS. 🤯🤯🤯
Watch at 1:08. OMG!!!
And at 1:39 . HOLY S*** dude!
And… musician here… keyboardist and singer here… THIS WAS EVEN BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL. Y’all are awesome!!!
Jeff you are a nice person thank you.

Thanks for all your nice comments! Keep those requests / feedback coming!
Best channel on RUclips!
Maybe something from Supertramp in the future?
Supertramp and Badfinger for sure.
I'd really enjoy "Ace of Spades" or "I'm So Bad (Baby I Don't Care)" by Motorhead. I see Lemmy when I watch youse guys.
Id kill for a cover of "I still believe" by the call. Yknow, the song that big sweaty sax guy plays in The Lost Boys?
@@genshikashmir or Let the Day Begin. They could tear that one up.
Looking forward to some Huey Lewis covers. Heart of Rock and Roll? Power of Love? New Drug? Think Huey songs would play perfectly with your playfulness.
my vote goes to Do You Believe In Love
how about some Tubes too?!
Golden Earing?
In addition to everyone’s talent, something that makes these enjoyable to watch is that it is clear that they these folks are having a blast covering these songs
Absolute yes!! I told my wife that these folks are having more fun than they should be allowed! 😅
Actually think that that's probably the best part. They're legitimately having a great time.
I'm seriously jealous of the fun their having.
After hearing the bass tearing it up, would love to hear your version of Roundabout
Yes, please!
...as long as he coughs up a 4001 with flat wounds.
@@arthouston7361 maybe get a loaner from Richie Castellano 😊
@@SaraHurd I see what you did there! "Yes" please 😉
Roundabout? Yes!!!! How about Tempist Fugit, or Close to the Edge. Hey, you guys are on it. How do I get in this band!!!
The GenX cover bands in the old folks home are gonna be off the hook.
Wait until we get our very own "The Villages"
Crap we’re almost there, aren’t we?
Enjoy your Gen Z whisper rock. Don't want any loud noises or offensive pronouns offending you.🙃
These people just make you wish you could hang out with them in the garage. The whole band always does a great job, but of particular note, Sweet Teddy and Kestrin really nailed it!

Drums, vocals, horns, guitar... perfect. 10/10 😸👍
My thoughts exactly, "no way this is how Duran Duran does it live"
Yeah, that was a real workout.

Dad thumpin that BASS
As a bass player I need not mention how good the bass player is. It is obvious. Instead I wish to pay compliments to the drummer. The bass player's partner in crime. Wowsers. He sings too, like Levon Helm.
Sweet Teddy's bass was so hot he had to put that shizz out for a moment
Never was a big Duran Duran fan, but I gotta respect John Taylor. The bassist here does a great job. Kudos!
What?? 😳😳😳
😂😂😂😂😂😂
That bass is doing the work!
Always loved the bass line on this track and Teddy P really nails it. This is that good shit.
This is NOT an easy song on the bass, so kudos to my dude who's killin it.
Awesome all around, Especially Sweet Teddy P. on that bass! Kestrin's voice was very reminiscent of Debbie Harry from Blondie - Totally Killer!
I grew up with Duran Duran, always loved that the band features the Bass particularly in Rio - John Taylor was/is an under appreciated treasure.
Me too. (they are still my favorite group). DD would love the fact that they chose their song. This group band is really good.
Making me miss Duran Duran. 😃😃😃 Their concert was awesome!!!
Since you've cracked Duran Duran, I'd love to hear the best James Bond song: View to a Kill
More songs need the old school cymbal-catches. So very 80s and so very wonderful.
As a guy who just became both a dad and middle-aged, I really love this channel. It gives me hope that I can regain my coolness.
Nobody is having more fun than this crew.
Amazing! I'd love to hear some Genesis at some point!
Or Phil Collins solo. They would tear up Easy Lover.
I want to shout out all the memorabilia in this garage! I love that David still has the sign for David Wain's Super Fun Amazing Coffee Shop!
Owls well that ends well.
This is the third cover I've listened to today. This is the most I've been entertained all week. I wish they would give the full band credits at the beginning or the end of each video.
Of course David Wain is gonna do Rio lol! How about Saturday in the Park from Chicago??
Great job by everyone, as always! The backup singers brought me extra joy today with their blissfully and delightfully awkward dance moves
A Middle Aged Jamband featuring members of my favorite show of ALL TIME, MTV's The State?!?! I didn't know I needed this today, but I'm here for it!
The bass player is killing it.
Finally the showcase that Sweet Teddy P deserves! It's so fun watching you all have fun.
So cool to see Craig Wedren in these videos. The musicianship level in that room is insane.
helps that he's Tom Lennon's bro in law 😆
@@kahlegregory9447 Somehow I didn't know that despite being a longtime fan of Shudder to Think and The State members' projects!
That bass line is no joke. But then I realize that the keyboard player is manually doing what is normally the job of a synth arpeggiator. Both seriously impressive!
I never realized the bass line on Rio was so kick ass!
Their material was better than most realize. Play "new religion" full blast on some nice speakers. It's a remarkably good performance.
John Taylor was highly underrated. Everyone thought they were just pop stars.
John Taylor wrote some killer lines. One of the great rock bassists of the 80's.
Sweet Teddy P.! This group is amazing and brings so much to the table all the way around.
I Love how the brass guys get to hang out on the couch and then bam there they are ! these are great !
This is damned incredible. Rio is one of the hardest songs of the 80s to cover well and everyone nailed it. The switch into double time during the sax solo is iconic and it sounded fantastic here.
That's Craig Wedren singing backup, holy crap, Shudder To Think is next level in every way, respect!!!!
Fantastic performance by all. Really brought me back.
This makes me so happy! Love this…not as much as I love ROLE MODELS…but close!!!
Her laugh @2:54 - Perfect!!! 😁
She got me laughing
It's impossible to watch these guys and not smile.
Lots of people talking about the awesome bass, which is totally deserved, but I remember playing the hell out of this song on pro drums in Rock Band, it's a work out and David Wain killed it! 🤘
This is your best cover yet. And that's saying a lot because they are all great. Holy crap Wain is a really good drummer, very impressed. Very impressed with each member of the band. Thanks.
Sweet Teddy nails that bass part! I’ve tried to learn it. It’s not easy!!
This is so amazingly fun! I wish that I had neighbors like this!
Well done!
Love the laughing girl.
Bass, keyboard, drums…all killin it! 🔥
Bassist killed it
Dude be slappin dat bass!!!!!!!!!!!!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

Well okay we will !
you guys nailed it. you could totally do some early Chicago like 25 or 6 to 4 or Saturday in the Park.
I love doing the song in my solo acoustic gig - too fun. Ken gives it a subtle but charming lounge act feel. The laughing in the bridge and the dance moves are perfect. The rhythm section kills it.
Keep up the great work guys and gals!
Every time a new vid comes out I treat it the same way that I treat a Lindsy Stirling video... pure love!

It’s insane that David wane is a world class drummer
Or good enough to quantize! :)
Let's not get carried away here.
Haha. Who’s playing the 16th notes on the hi-hat and the crashes? 5:34

You know ive heard Rio a few hundred times but the natural recording space really brings out the musicianship involved. Excellent job!
Everyone here is wonderful. And an extra bit of praise for whomever did the sound mixing to actually let us hear every single part coming together in the whole.
1:40 Bass GOAT
I never knew Guy Stanislaus could sing so well.
Best channel I’ve subscribed to. They seem like they are having a great time. Drummer killed it on vocals! Bass player dominated.
That bass player is stellar….so so good
I do not recall ever having seen this song performed without a pre-recorded Synthesizer playing the keyboard part…. That man has magic hands!
My new favorite watch while wake and baking 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
The bass man is one bad dude.
im so stupidly delighted by every one of these videos
Friggin Aaaaaaa!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Nice job! One of my all time favorite songs. The piano man would likely agree❤❤❤❤❤❤
Smashing good cover of a killer song. Props to the bass player as this is an absolute sleerper song when it comes to the bass line. You did right by John Taylor.
The keyboardist has crazy fast fingers!!!! This is an awesome cover (reminds me of when I first saw the video on VH-1
Bass player's got ghost notes for days! Nice work
Everyone shined as best they can on this rendition. 😂❤🎉
This made me glad I’m still kicking. Thanks a lot. Y’all are absolutely fantastic.
And Ken’s “doot-doo”s at the end. 👌
Fantastic.I forgot what a bass monster this jam is.
Most things John Taylor is on are a monster jam. He’s always had the chops.
I love how this garage has the expansive capacity of Oscar the Grouch's trash can. Players just appear out of nowhere!
heck yes!! everyone looks like there having a blast sounding GREAT!! THX
I don't know what the hell this is, but as a Duranie, I'm quite impressed.
I wish i would've booked these guys for my Bar Mitzvah in '77 and then my wedding in '87. Oh well ❤
Only in Los Angeles…so good!!
Biggest trio I've ever seen!
Excellent performance from everyone here ! Great job !
after now watching all your videos… I can definitively say this is your best one.
Most Excellent! I really enjoyed what you’ve do here!
Now do, “Save a Prayer”….. 👍🏻🍻😎
I love these guys! It sends me right back to the days when I was behind the wheel of my Olds Cutlass with the windows down and the radio turned up. Have you considered Hair of the Dog by Nazareth. Best cowbell you'll ever find.
