When you consider The Beatles called it quits after 8 years, Duran's career of 40+ years of continuous NEW great music - is remarkable. Nothing stops them. May they continue forever.
They split their money equally from the start, and so there was no arguing over money, which has been the death of great bands. This made it easier for the original members to reunite in the early 2000s.
@@cockney he got it back with the help of a vocal therapist. sounds very fatigued here so def no autotune. I saw them in June of 23 and he sounded much better. a few flaws here and there but at least it showed he was doing it for real
no autotune i dont think ,saw em live a few yr ago and part of the live experience is the odd note and mistake,im a musician and in these days of technology i think the hardest job is singing/frontman and i like the fact he gets out of breath and sings a bit out of tune because he should ,he's a human being and getting older ,,he did a fantastic job when isaw them in scarborough and he had a nose bleed on stage which was funny as he referenced it wasnt what we thought it was!..tee hee ...ffs playing live is hard ....i imagine a lot of the comments are from people who have never stood on a stage and played live with all the complications it throws at you whilst doing it...i say good job Simon x
My good Lord, they just get better with age! Too bad Andy couldn't be there for this. I saw them in 2007 in Boston, and it was one of the best concert performances I have ever attended. And danced to! (how can you not?!) Andy was not able to perform even back then. He didn't come on the tour. I believe this guy here was his replacement guitarist back then. I hope Duran Duran keeps rockin till they die... This was an awesome show!!! Thank you for filming it!!
If I may, his voice not only has remained the same, but it has improved!! I was a Spandau fan, but I have always appreciated Duran Duran. Those were real singers.
Incredible, Simon LeBon can still sing! My all time favorite Duran Duran song is "Ordinary World" because I am learning to survive being homeless living in my car! 😊
Simon has such a unique voice. Nobody like him I've ever heard. Band sounds incredible all these years later and Simon's voice has really held up great.
what is this THE wild boys name?? song is called wild boys SIMON LE BON what are you letting them do with the names in this timeline?? the song is called WILD BOYS
@@michelleper5065 You must check your references. The name of the song is "The wild boys" as you may find on their album Arena. The idea for the song came from video director Russell Mulcahy, who wanted to make a full-length film based on the surreal 1971 novel The Wild Boys: A Book of the Dead by William S Burroughs.
@@acrfactor no... wild boys,... 2 differnt timelines... in the qualitative timeline always WILD BOYS... notice how they sing into the microphone and you can find residue even in your failed timeline of the way it should be the album arena has the song in it and it is called wild boys no "the" never was "the" in the timeline they are prime. "the" wild boys lol come on now do you see simon of 1982 saying "the wild boys" lol only in the current collapsing timeline... just look around you will figure this out eventually
I was 12 years old when the band came out, they still rock just like 40 years ago, amazing band, I would totally see them live next time they come into town.
I fell asleep in my bed while watching some random youtube videos on my tablet last night. I wake up around a hour later with this blasting beside of me....WILD BOYS! WILD BOYS! And then that insane stage with bright flashing colors, I had no idea what was going on........
How the heck can he sound this incredible? I’m totally blown away…I clicked on this thinking I would be cringing just like when I watch other old rock bands reunite in 2022. Absolutely remarkable, WOW!
@@acrfactor don’t agree with the Ukraine statements but incredible performance and should be acknowledged for that. Best stage performance I have seen since Axl Rose filled in for AC/DC
That's the thing though, they've never stopped being a band. Broke up and had a few different iterations, but making music and touring almost constantly since the 80's. I've seen them 8 times - 3x in the 80's, 2x in the 90's, 1 in the 00's and 2x in the teens (if that's what we're calling them lol) 😎
JT was my first serious celebrity crush at 11...damn near 40 years later i still get googly eyes when i look at him...still one of my all time fave groups❤️
@@andreabuckingham6446ooh! You mean a real thing? Like experience with him personally? Please do tell so 40+ years later I can live vicariously through you 😂😊❤
After watching bands this old I usually need to go "cleanse my palate" and look up shows from their prime to remind myself how great they once were. Not so here... homies are f* relentless. Still clear, strong, energetic, tight asf, and thrilling. Did not bloody see that coming 😲 _And_ Simon still has his upper register and projection woo hoo. The hard work they put in to stay this good is obvious. Mad respect, wild boys 👐🙏
no one today can write songs like these... all wannabes... and even this band is not same level as the other timeline... they are great dont get me wrong better than 99% of this timeline but still not touching the other one
Seems kind of sad the today's computer and tech capabilities have kind of kneecapped some young musicians into a robotically clean and perfect box for musical creation. It feels like new music doesn't breathe and is missing that human feel. Too much auto tune, not enough musicians playing instruments themselves instead of sampling. Long live musicians, songwriters and players that master their instruments and collaborate with other musicians to create lightning in a bottle. Duran Duran has stood the test of time. Good music is timeless.

This is the kind of upload RUclips premium was made for, sounds great in the house. Simon is not mentioned enough in the great frontman debate, some of these songs are tough to sing but it's rare he ducks any notes, he goes right for them like a missle, thats scary shit for a singer. Supreme confidence with his gift.
Even when it goes momentarily a bit wrong: "Live Aid springs to mind. Over at the JFK Stadium in Philadelphia, two famous British bands suffered a nightmare-Duran Duran and Led Zeppelin. And with the former it concerns singer Simon Le Bon and his “bum note”. Hooray! The song in question is A View to a Kill, the band’s 13th single that was released on 6th May 1985. It was written to support the eponymous James Bond film out that year. It was a big hit, so it was a natural choice to include in their set. However, throughout the whole song (which sees Le Bon prancing about energetically), his voice does seem a tad strained. He almost lost it shortly before the big moment. But then it happens: “Dance into the fire. A fatal kiss, is all we NNNEEEEEd.” The world’s media descended on the moment in a heartbeat. It was quickly dubbed: “The bum note heard around the world.” It was compared to Freddie Mercury’s scintillating vocals with Queen during the band’s London performance in 1984, which the media raved about. And Le Bon was mocked mercilessly for his momentary error. And many, many millions of people watching on live TV laughed at him. It’s a strange thing. The note barely lasts for a second and poor Le Bon has had this thing hanging over him for the rest of his life. Here you are now, reading this, and it’s a bit of good fun and all that. But Le Bon has since said it was the most embarrassing moment of his career. Now, it’s easy to mock and jeer. But we can’t even hold a note, never mind sing live to a live arena audience and millions of viewers, so fair play for having the skill (and nerve) to do that."* The comparison to Queen was entirely unfair, as Mr Mercury was notorious for singing live the tricky highest notes a major third, a perfect fifth or even an octave below his recorded performance, often leaving them to Roger Taylor to cover. professionalmoron.com/2019/08/22/duran-duran-live-aid-bum-note/
I’m not really a fan. I took my wife as a treat for her and I was absolutely blown away. The best gig I’d been to since Muse at Wembley in 2007 by a country mile.
Bands will always be ageless but rarely does a lead singer sound so. So is the voice of Simon. Ageless. Hasn't missed a note in almost 40 years. Priceless.
I saw Duran Duran back in 1987 in NYC. Then the band was on top of the world. Glad to see they are still around. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame well overdue.
To us Duranies, whether they are inducted into the RRHF is immaterial ! They are the greatest band on 'Planet Earth 🌍' 😊 We love them forever ! Wishing they will do another concert in my country Malaysia 😢😢😢
Duran Duran is my #1 Band in the 80’s , they are still awesome and voices never changed. Watched their concert in San Francisco Chase Center recently 9/4. It’s phenomenal! Everyone is having fun, singing and dancing to his music..
Same here. Headbanger and DD fan since the 80's , too. And most of my "brothers of metal" love DD also. of course, it's quality recognised. Sad they rarely play my favourite tune, The Seventh Stranger (not The Seventh Son🤭)
Simon sounds better than ever! Amazing! Great concert! Wish I had been there! Memories…from high school and college! Saw them Back in 1984 - I think. Still sound great as ever!
This is crazy how incredible this is. They have captured the magic and energy of the 80”s like no other band comes close to doing. Truly astonishing I can’t stop rewatching…they are the best band in the world in 2022….amazing
@@bannedlist3451 UNBELIAVBLE performance, they play so well, le bon is realy mad with the timeline, no joke, if he make them play at this level.... he feels like he needs to prove something, this is outstanding performance!
@@michelleper5065 You are so right, it’s extremely fast paced I couldn’t believe my ears and had to watch this concert 3 times! I feel like watching it again 😂 You’re cool 😎 nice chat 🙂
Fourty years of success, such amazing performances, perfect vocals, line ups, it´s UNBELIAVABLE!!!! The older they get, the more elegant, handsome they become! THIS IS DD!!!
Wow. Just wow. It’s unbelievable how great Duran Duran still sounds after all these years! Not a crack in Simon’s voice for the most part and the band is on cue. And John Taylor’s bass guitar is the bomb!
Saw Duran at Hyde Park this summer. My 5th decade of seeing them live... 87, 89, 93, 95, 2004 (twice!) And now 2022. Missed the last decade somehow! They are just incredible... Sheer class! To the person who recorded this...Thank You 🙏🏼
they are very good but not the level of the other timeline.... over there they are just unbelievable.... still this here is very good especially wild boys
Wow, Simon's stamina for his age is impressive. His voice still has his unique, clear tone. The others have all gotten better and better on their instruments over time, and together they sound great! I wish I could go to one of their 2022 concerts. I was in my 20s in the 80s and DD is one of the top bands in the soundtrack of my 20s. The wild boys still rock!
These guys were our teen heart throbs. I never saw them in concert until 2022 Loved their music then and amazingly now. They sound terrific. This was definitely on my bucket list and I'm glad I went. Fabulous!
I saw them in Birmingham, England last week - it was basically this exact set list and stag design. They were great- Simon's singing was strong and the band were all really tight. I didn't realize until now how much John's bass really drives their sound.
You can see that Simon, John, Nick, Roger (and yes, Dom) STILL love playing these songs and this concert is a celebration of the ongoing history of Duran Duran. They aren't just an "Eighties" band (and for that matter a "Nineties" band") - they are still relevant, they still make great albums, even though they only make an album every 4-6 years. Their new music is still fantastic. I bought "Carnival" in 1982 and have bought literally everything they've released since then. I can't imagine listening to music without having this band in my life.
@@acrfactor I've always dug Planet Earth & Girls On Film. Funny, I saw Rob Zombie the week before & enjoyed both. But then again I've seen Prince & Slayer in the same month back in the day lol.
@@andrewmunoz2109 lol I’m the same! I’m seeing the Pantera reunion in Aug and mainly attend metal shows. I saw Mercyful Fate and Megadeth last fall. But I also have a love for 80s new wave and secured a Duran Duran and The Cure tickets for June in Atlanta. 🤘
there are on another level compared to most other bands even in the other timeline.... they can play very well, and their songs are very good, they perform very well
Duran Duran is one of my favourite bands! They have a very unique sound and the ability to stir something in the listener in every song! They sound amazing! I love Simon's voice and the energy in their performance. Nick, John and Simon put on a fabulous show!
they are sounding so great here.... that it makes today bands... better not go there... but they sound much better than bon jovi... he sings so well they play so well... their backup girls on vocals sounds just as good as tears for fears... this is incredible performance.... best of 2020's up to now by far up there with tears for fears but something here was extra
they give me goosebumps like when I listened to them in the 80s and 90s or young people today unfortunately for them they cannot understand .... today's music is not even comparable .... luckily we have them lived !
Plus, today's music has so much cussing, sexuality up the wall, degrading, and racism in it, I can't call that music. I'm an 80's child!! Now that's music and talent. Duran Duran!!4 ever!!
Because of these guys I speak fluent English. My eternal gratitude, Duran Duran... Please please please come to Brazil!!!!! It gave me goosebumps when I saw on their Setlist "Hold back the rain", "Friends of mine" and "White lies"!!!!!
the volume of his voice and high quality are almost same as before. Particularly, his high-pitched voice is so wonderful. It's just like before, too. I have loved DURAN DURAN and the U.K music since before. When I watched their concert for DIANA on RUclips, I was so moved. It's
Los sigo desde 1983 y siguen generando las mismas sensaciones que hace 40 años. La voz de Simón es increíble y están todos increíbles. De las mejores bandas por siempre!
Simon is still fucking fantastic. Loved them since the 80s. Seen them many times live over the years, and I'll keep going to their concerts until they stop or performing or I die.
This concert was amazzzing to watch. They still sound great. Ain't no prerecorded, autotuned trickery here. Just pure talent. Real instruments. Real voices. Nice. Fantabulous.
Just saw these guys in Chicago tonight and have to say it was one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to. I’ve followed this band since the very beginning and was beyond excited to have been able to see them In person! Definitely worth the wait!!! ♥️♥️♥️
I saw them February 2024 in Phoenix. I have seen A LOT of concerts in the 48 years that I've been alive. This is easily top 3 for me. They put in a great show, and they still sound amazing!
These guys sound better live as they age. Incredible energy, they haven’t slowed down a bit. Simon’s voice is better then ever. Best band that came out of the 80’s. Depeche Mode and Duran Duran are my favourites.
COMPROBADO: no eran solo un grupo de chicos lindos haciendo música de mercado. Duran Duran, siempre fue una banda de rock que marca décadas, empezaron cuando yo nací en 1968 y son la Banda Sonora de toda mi vida. Gracias DD.
Ach was war das für eine geile Zeit die 80iger Mit den Songs bin ich per Radio aufgestanden und in die Schule gegangen oder habe mir die Videos im TV angeschaut war echt super zeit
wow Duran Duran still sound great after so many year playing and all their songs bring good memories. thanks to the band for allowing us to watch their recent concert this year Duran Duran songs never will die.
Duran Duran is my favorite band in the world. I have always loved them and Depeche Mode. My brothers and friends where into Motley Crue hevey metal bands. Simon Le Bon smokes all of the Hevey metal front men. I was playing this concert 2022 my friends where did you find old videos of Duran Duran I said no this is Duran Duran now they couldn't believe it that they still sound the exact same.
this is beyond amazing.... super performance from the whole band, especially Simon Le Bon, wow simply wow... I love the old songs Friends of Mine and Hold back the rain.... this is the music of my childhood (in Union of the snake Simon asks how many remember Duran Duran from 40 years ago, I am one of those who remembers and loved the reflex and union of the snake from 1980s first playing on the radio........ this Band is so good, wow. May they keep on rocking..... so happy to see this... will go to seem them live if they ever come back to Dubai.. I attended their live show in Abu Dhabi back in 90's it was magical. It was amazing to see the whole band still got the sound, vocals, energy, charisma and star power which was captured on film on "as the lights go down"... super sound quality also in 2022.... much respect to Duran Duran ! These are true rock and roll stars. John Taylor is one of the greatest ever bass players ... Nick Rhodes is a genius with the keyboard, those sounds are so good, Roger Taylor wow that rhythm section with JT, Simon's vocals are ageless (how does he do it?). Tom Brown lead guitar, the saxophone player and both the backing vocalists are so good too.... wow. 40 years !!!!! How many bands can sound, perform and look this awesome after 40 years?
they are sounding like the records... this is amazing performance... this and tears for fears.... just stunning performances, i guess they had enough of this timeline, wanted to bring something here too, le bon looks like he wants to improve it a bit
OMG! BECAUSE OF THIS VIDEO. I SAW THEM LAST NIGHT IN SF. UNBELIEVABLE! WHAT AN EPIC NIGHT! THJE BEST OF THE BEST! JT WAS THE TIGHTEST BASE PLAYER I HAVE EVER SEEN!
I grew up listening to Duran Duran in the 80s like every Gen Xer out there... thanks in part to my older sisters. They played a big hand in my singing, along with Whitney Houston, and RUSH for writing and playing my own music. The spirit of their music was a pioneering spirit that hits so close to home.
One of the most underrated bands ever! They're Absolutely Fantastic Musicians. Still gives me goose bumps to listen. Simon's voice is epically unique and so beautiful! This Vid is Great! Thanks for posting!
A pop band that actually rocks!!! Always been impressed their ability to bring their “produced” sound to the stage and make it even better. Love the compositions as well
Man that band is still number one! Simon's voice is fantasique!

Es asombroso como a pesar de los años mantienen su calidad como banda. Notable el vocalista. Nice job , wonderfull perfomance. Greetings from Santiago de Chile.
I felt in love with them the first time I heard planet earth, and still love them today. Its like I know them all of my life. Everytime their music plays...I'll sing and dance and jump along ❤❤❤
When you consider The Beatles called it quits after 8 years, Duran's career of 40+ years of continuous NEW great music - is remarkable. Nothing stops them. May they continue forever.

The comparison to Queen was entirely unfair, as Mr Mercury was notorious for singing live the tricky highest notes a major third, a perfect fifth or even an octave below his recorded performance, often leaving them to Roger Taylor to cover.

I saw Duran Duran back in 1987 in NYC. Then the band was on top of the world. Glad to see they are still around. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame well overdue.
To us Duranies, whether they are inducted into the RRHF is immaterial !
They are the greatest band on 'Planet Earth 🌍' 😊
We love them forever !
Wishing they will do another concert in my country Malaysia 😢😢😢
Я хочу слушать это вечно....❤❤❤❤
I grow up in the 80s with Duran Duran....❤️❤️🤘🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥......
And it's rewarding to know that they are very well alive
so your old😃
I was there! I was 16 again! I danced, jumped like never did! Still do hearing this thanks so much! Duran Duran for ever!
Thanks Ana, indeed was a lot of fun! Happy to help you remember those moments...
Duran Duran is my #1 Band in the 80’s , they are still awesome and voices never changed. Watched their concert in San Francisco Chase Center recently 9/4. It’s phenomenal! Everyone is having fun, singing and dancing to his music..
The show is a BIG party!
Yes!
As bad live now as he was then 😂
THIS is why Duran Duran is legendary. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nod and acceptance long, long overdue.
Exactly!
I'm a metalhead but love Duran Duran since the 80's. Still a fantastic band!
Good that you recognise it
I appreciate Metal too!!
Same lol
Same here. Headbanger and DD fan since the 80's , too. And most of my "brothers of metal" love DD also. of course, it's quality recognised. Sad they rarely play my favourite tune, The Seventh Stranger (not The Seventh Son🤭)
Simon sounds better than ever! Amazing! Great concert! Wish I had been there! Memories…from high school and college! Saw them Back in 1984 - I think. Still sound great as ever!
Sorry that you couldn't attend this time, but good that I can bring you those memories
YES - saw them 2004 in Hessen / Germany - a real live band !!!
Was there (had to leave a wedding half way), such a great show! Duran Duran on a class of their own!
This is crazy how incredible this is. They have captured the magic and energy of the 80”s like no other band comes close to doing. Truly astonishing I can’t stop rewatching…they are the best band in the world in 2022….amazing
You're right! BIG DD show
this is amazing how well they perform.... very good level
@@michelleper5065 definitely 🙂
@@bannedlist3451 UNBELIAVBLE performance, they play so well, le bon is realy mad with the timeline, no joke, if he make them play at this level.... he feels like he needs to prove something, this is outstanding performance!
@@michelleper5065 You are so right, it’s extremely fast paced I couldn’t believe my ears and had to watch this concert 3 times! I feel like watching it again 😂
You’re cool 😎 nice chat 🙂
Fourty years of success, such amazing performances, perfect vocals, line ups, it´s UNBELIAVABLE!!!! The older they get, the more elegant, handsome they become! THIS IS DD!!!
It seems so...
@@acrfactor "perfect vocals"😮 Most of the notes he sings are flat and sometimes he's almost out of voice.
Wow. Just wow. It’s unbelievable how great Duran Duran still sounds after all these years! Not a crack in Simon’s voice for the most part and the band is on cue. And John Taylor’s bass guitar is the bomb!
You got it right tamki!
i am amazed how well they play here... amazed.. this is how you play instruments and write songs... tell it to this timeline iphone zombies
I'm sure 40+ years of singing isn't easy to pull off. @@mick5841
素敵。素晴らしい。褪せない。そして期待を裏切らない。ですから3代続いてもファンなのだとおもいます。
Saw Duran at Hyde Park this summer. My 5th decade of seeing them live... 87, 89, 93, 95, 2004 (twice!) And now 2022. Missed the last decade somehow! They are just incredible... Sheer class!
To the person who recorded this...Thank You 🙏🏼
You're welcome Kelly
@@acrfactor❤❤
Fan since 1982 I think! Saw them in 85 or 86 in Ahoy Rotterdam. What great great great band!!!!!!
Sure they are ;)
初めて観たのは高校生の時からです あれから40年
最高のバンドですデュラン・デュランは😊
저랑 비슷한세대이시군요^^
Semplicemente fenomenali!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no me canso de verlos y oirlos ! son mi adiccion! ❤😂😂😂grandes Duran Duran no pierdo la esperanza de algun dia verlos en vivo!
Continúan en el activo, por eso no hay que perder la esperanza
Just saw them in Chicago 2 days ago and they were way beyond expectations. Their energy was incredible.
Yeah, they beautifully aging with the times
they are very good but not the level of the other timeline.... over there they are just unbelievable.... still this here is very good especially wild boys
O MAN i never seen them live. Was Hungry Like The Wolf the best song to dance too?
Wow, Simon's stamina for his age is impressive. His voice still has his unique, clear tone. The others have all gotten better and better on their instruments over time, and together they sound great! I wish I could go to one of their 2022 concerts. I was in my 20s in the 80s and DD is one of the top bands in the soundtrack of my 20s. The wild boys still rock!
That's right!
As you said : Wow! A lesson, a masterclass.
These guys were our teen heart throbs. I never saw them in concert until 2022 Loved their music then and amazingly now. They sound terrific. This was definitely on my bucket list and I'm glad I went. Fabulous!
Exactly bro👍
Same, I've got tix to see them in September - definite bucket list for me!
I will be seeing them next month, I'm excited because it will my first time. I am a fan since I was 13in the early 80s!❤
I'm going to see them in June! So excited because I grew up in a small town and never got to go to concerts in the 80s.
Just Amazing!
I saw them in Birmingham, England last week - it was basically this exact set list and stag design.
They were great- Simon's singing was strong and the band were all really tight.
I didn't realize until now how much John's bass really drives their sound.
Quien conoce de estamusica es lomaximo uno de mis grupos consentidos los amo♥️
You can see that Simon, John, Nick, Roger (and yes, Dom) STILL love playing these songs and this concert is a celebration of the ongoing history of Duran Duran. They aren't just an "Eighties" band (and for that matter a "Nineties" band") - they are still relevant, they still make great albums, even though they only make an album every 4-6 years. Their new music is still fantastic. I bought "Carnival" in 1982 and have bought literally everything they've released since then. I can't imagine listening to music without having this band in my life.
Nice statement
Perfectly said.
I just saw them last night in Fort Worth Texas. I'm a die hard rocker but man, these guys were amazing!! I'll definitely see them again!!
You are being converted by these guys😄
@@acrfactor I've always dug Planet Earth & Girls On Film. Funny, I saw Rob Zombie the week before & enjoyed both. But then again I've seen Prince & Slayer in the same month back in the day lol.
@@andrewmunoz2109 lol I’m the same! I’m seeing the Pantera reunion in Aug and mainly attend metal shows. I saw Mercyful Fate and Megadeth last fall. But I also have a love for 80s new wave and secured a Duran Duran and The Cure tickets for June in Atlanta. 🤘
Fantásticos!👏👏👏❤
São mesmo
The sound quality of this is amazing. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Jason, glad that you like it!
there are on another level compared to most other bands even in the other timeline.... they can play very well, and their songs are very good, they perform very well
Duran Duran and U2 are 2 bands that every band should emulate. Longevity, greatness and just F N cool!
Duran Duran is one of my favourite bands! They have a very unique sound and the ability to stir something in the listener in every song! They sound amazing! I love Simon's voice and the energy in their performance. Nick, John and Simon put on a fabulous show!
Thanks JDC! You sais it all
they are sounding so great here.... that it makes today bands... better not go there... but they sound much better than bon jovi... he sings so well they play so well... their backup girls on vocals sounds just as good as tears for fears... this is incredible performance.... best of 2020's up to now by far up there with tears for fears but something here was extra
they give me goosebumps like when I listened to them in the 80s and 90s or young people today unfortunately for them they cannot understand .... today's music is not even comparable .... luckily we have them lived !
Shitty music nowadays
Plus, today's music has so much cussing, sexuality up the wall, degrading, and racism in it, I can't call that music. I'm an 80's child!! Now that's music and talent. Duran Duran!!4 ever!!
How are these guys still this good??? Amazing
Because of these guys I speak fluent English. My eternal gratitude, Duran Duran... Please please please come to Brazil!!!!! It gave me goosebumps when I saw on their Setlist "Hold back the rain", "Friends of mine" and "White lies"!!!!!
How come?
Simon sounds amazing!
He's in very good shape! never stop quiet, always on the move and same vocal accuracy
the volume of his voice and high quality are almost same as before.
Particularly, his high-pitched voice is so wonderful.
It's just like before, too.
I have loved DURAN DURAN and the U.K music since before.
When I watched their concert for DIANA on RUclips, I was so moved.
It's
Los sigo desde 1983 y siguen generando las mismas sensaciones que hace 40 años. La voz de Simón es increíble y están todos increíbles. De las mejores bandas por siempre!
Es verdad! Un saludo
Totalmente de acuerdo contigo!
Es verdad, es inconfundible. Única. Me emociona tanto cuando lo escucho! Duran duran Son únicos!!! I love duran duran
Simon is still fucking fantastic. Loved them since the 80s. Seen them many times live over the years, and I'll keep going to their concerts until they stop or performing or I die.
I challenge anyone to argue that SLB voice isn't as strong as it was 30-years ago. He hits every note!
Impeccable as it is
It. Is. Mental. Not many of his generation doing that.
40 years ago even
Id argue that at some point in the last 20 years his vocals actually became stronger and better than in his youth!
This concert was amazzzing to watch. They still sound great. Ain't no prerecorded, autotuned trickery here. Just pure talent. Real instruments. Real voices. Nice. Fantabulous.
where does the sound come from?
Just saw these guys in Chicago tonight and have to say it was one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to. I’ve followed this band since the very beginning and was beyond excited to have been able to see them In person! Definitely worth the wait!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Was it different from this show?
Same here, since the beginning, seeing them tonight.. can't wait.
I've only seen them in person a few times but even watching on RUclips you never get the sense it's dialed in, they seem hapoy to do it.
Going tonight to see them. This 50 year old is super excited to see my old crush Simon💕
@@1Momyx Have a nice concert and please don't faint 😀
I was overwhelmed with emotion and joy.
It gives me strength that they are still a great band.
Thank you D.D!
Yes Sir, they are!
Simon is killing it here vocally & delivering a powerhouse performance. Force of nature!
It stays fit. Such a nice surprise
I saw them February 2024 in Phoenix. I have seen A LOT of concerts in the 48 years that I've been alive. This is easily top 3 for me. They put in a great show, and they still sound amazing!
Sea of lights on Save a Prayer is so amazing....
so emotional...
Уважаю! Наслаждаюсь всю жизнь! Дай Бог всем МИРА и здоровья! В Беларуси любят вас!!! Дюран-Дюран = это МОЩНО И СВОИМИ СИЛАМИ!
These guys sound better live as they age. Incredible energy, they haven’t slowed down a bit. Simon’s voice is better then ever. Best band that came out of the 80’s. Depeche Mode and Duran Duran are my favourites.
Indeed!
Duran Duran is my favorite Band, I was 18 years old at that time, bought an original tape from U.S. Now I am 56 and I still love them..
When you see DuranDuran looking old it reminds you that your getting old too
Unfortunately it's irreversible
When I see them still rocking their age it makes me feel invincible and ageless❤
They still sound so amazing. And Simon still sounds just as good now as he did back in the '80s.
That's a fact!
You're dreaming. The Wild Boys rendition showed how much he has lost. Still an icon though.
@@eheim21 He is hoarse in this show but that is not typical, he hasn't lost anything yet.
COMPROBADO: no eran solo un grupo de chicos lindos haciendo música de mercado. Duran Duran, siempre fue una banda de rock que marca décadas, empezaron cuando yo nací en 1968 y son la Banda Sonora de toda mi vida. Gracias DD.
ありがとうデュランデュラン!青春そのもの😂ずっと演って欲しい😮
🤞
Ach was war das für eine geile Zeit die 80iger
Mit den Songs bin ich per Radio aufgestanden und in die Schule gegangen oder habe mir die Videos im TV angeschaut war echt super zeit
Sicher, dass es so war
huge succes for DURAN DURAN - like a dream
Duran Duran - the favourite band of the late Princess Diana. I'm sure, if she would'nt have passed away, she would like this concert.
For sure she will...
Man, they sound fantastic! Simon's voice is in tip-top shape!
They do! thanks for watching
Especially when you you know how old he already is. There aren't that many singers who still going on strong
‘Save a prayer’ will always be a big favorite. It always brings me back to my trip through Sri Lanka in 1993…..
Lucky you to visit Sri Lanka on that time. Now, due to the hurricanes you can't find most of the places present on the video
Fantastici Duran Duran 😀
Tanti cari saluti dall' Italia. Ciaooo 😀👋🏻👋🏻
Sou o fã número um do Brasil!
Escutava nos finais da tarde enquanto trabalhava no banco.
what the hell, how can they sound just better than ever... they sound amazing..lucky people being there!!
Right!
After 40 years only the age of us is changed but the sounds , and the music of this band is still the same awesome
Absolutely!
wow Duran Duran still sound great after so many year playing and all their songs bring good memories. thanks to the band for allowing us to watch their recent concert this year Duran Duran songs never will die.
That was a very good surprise they still have the same energy as before. And of course their songs are inmortal
@@acrfactor a real dream !!
Неймовірно щаслива ,що Дюрани є в моєму житті вже 40 років Неперевершенні!!!
Ілона Пушкар
Спасибі, і про українців не забувають
Duran Duran is my favorite band in the world. I have always loved them and Depeche Mode. My brothers and friends where into Motley Crue hevey metal bands. Simon Le Bon smokes all of the Hevey metal front men. I was playing this concert 2022 my friends where did you find old videos of Duran Duran I said no this is Duran Duran now they couldn't believe it that they still sound the exact same.
We may understand their surprise. Indeed the "boys" still rock as in the 80's
omigawd thank you posting👩🎤👩🎤👩🎤i was transported to beina a teenager again😢😢 simon's vocals are strong as ever👏👏👏💖💜
You are more than welcome!!! Cheers
GRAN CONCIERTO, una banda extraordinarioa, sin igual, con una música que perduera en el tiempo y traspasa generaciones.
this is beyond amazing.... super performance from the whole band, especially Simon Le Bon, wow simply wow... I love the old songs Friends of Mine and Hold back the rain.... this is the music of my childhood (in Union of the snake Simon asks how many remember Duran Duran from 40 years ago, I am one of those who remembers and loved the reflex and union of the snake from 1980s first playing on the radio........ this Band is so good, wow. May they keep on rocking..... so happy to see this... will go to seem them live if they ever come back to Dubai.. I attended their live show in Abu Dhabi back in 90's it was magical.
It was amazing to see the whole band still got the sound, vocals, energy, charisma and star power which was captured on film on "as the lights go down"... super sound quality also in 2022.... much respect to Duran Duran ! These are true rock and roll stars.
John Taylor is one of the greatest ever bass players ... Nick Rhodes is a genius with the keyboard, those sounds are so good, Roger Taylor wow that rhythm section with JT, Simon's vocals are ageless (how does he do it?). Tom Brown lead guitar, the saxophone player and both the backing vocalists are so good too.... wow.
40 years !!!!! How many bands can sound, perform and look this awesome after 40 years?
You are right, and thanks for your extent post
Certified "DURANIE" here...my all-time favorite pop band since my high school days back in 1983...thank you for sharing this...❤
You're welcome Cesar
I LOVE this and I LOVE Simon's pants, so cool!!!
Thanks Bridget!
Esperei 40 anos para ver Duran Duran ao vivo!
Que grande noite! Fabuloso concerto!!!
Sem dúvida. O que andaste a perder ;)
Eu tb. rsrs
Amanhã eu vou ver eles aqui em Londres!
OMG
The concert is just recorded with a smartphone and it sounds amazing!
This is how good this band is!
The band is good, but it wasn't recorded with a smartphone😄
@@acrfactor Looks like it. The sound is amazing, considering it is not an official recording. Good job then ;)
they are sounding like the records... this is amazing performance... this and tears for fears.... just stunning performances, i guess they had enough of this timeline, wanted to bring something here too, le bon looks like he wants to improve it a bit
@@acrfactor can you please please let me know which camera you did use ? It’s amazing 😮
@@MP-gs4eq Hi M.P., it's the Sony RX10 mark III. Cheers
Li amo e li amerò per sempre. Sempre più bravi ogni anno che passa. La voce di Simon è inimitabile ed oggi è ancora più potente e pura… ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
OMG! BECAUSE OF THIS VIDEO. I SAW THEM LAST NIGHT IN SF. UNBELIEVABLE! WHAT AN EPIC NIGHT! THJE BEST OF THE BEST! JT WAS THE TIGHTEST BASE PLAYER I HAVE EVER SEEN!
I think that I need to deal a comission with DD because of all the people that went to see them because of my video 😆
I grew up listening to Duran Duran in the 80s like every Gen Xer out there... thanks in part to my older sisters.
They played a big hand in my singing, along with Whitney Houston, and RUSH for writing and playing my own music.
The spirit of their music was a pioneering spirit that hits so close to home.
One of the most underrated bands ever! They're Absolutely Fantastic Musicians. Still gives me goose bumps to listen. Simon's voice is epically unique and so beautiful! This Vid is Great! Thanks for posting!
You're welcome Greg. Happy that you like it !
Most underrated? Where have you been the past 40 years?
Underrated?????? I do not think so..
Bass guitar in Planet Earth as always the best, John Taylor you rules !
Bass god
A pop band that actually rocks!!! Always been impressed their ability to bring their “produced” sound to the stage and make it even better. Love the compositions as well
DURAN DURAN es una de las mejores BANDAS de toda la historia musical Unos verdaderos gigantes del género musical
Sin duda!
Grew up as a little kid listening to them. Would love to see them live. So great to see them carrying an amazing show!
Hope that mi video may somehow fill the gap
Man that band is still number one! Simon's voice is fantasique!
Es asombroso como a pesar de los años mantienen su calidad como banda. Notable el vocalista. Nice job , wonderfull perfomance. Greetings from Santiago de Chile.
Thanks Jaime
I felt in love with them the first time I heard planet earth, and still love them today. Its like I know them all of my life.
Everytime their music plays...I'll sing and dance and jump along ❤❤❤
