He might be a good player, but at this concert, his guitar was tuned down too low......Girls recording requires the guitar part to be upfront or loud in the mix. The guitar carries the tune, but not here......it's the vocal and the keys. The guy at the mixing board blew it.
This is the best Live Version of Girls on Film I ever heard I was really impressed with Andy's style of Guitar he blew the rest of the band away I mean you see it in John's face towards the end of the song! I still Love Duran Duran but never the same without Andy Taylor Hoping one day he will again do another reunion with them.
the 5 original members are irreplaceable, the truth is that Andy Taylor should never have left the band in 2006, he always put the classic rock touch with his guitar. I pray 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼that one day he thinks it over and returns to Duran Duran. Without Andy the band doesn't sound like a lot of people want😟
Anyone who really knows knows that this performance at this moment with this lineup with this particular song with this london crowd and recording quality is the best version of Duran Duran live anyone will ever hear. This is them at their very best. Andy brings an urgency to the music that is sorely lacking in their other manifestations. And I love songs like Notorious and Come Undone and many others without A.T., but he is the only who can play these classic Duran Duran songs from the first 3 albums the way they are meant to be heard. The others are great guitarists, but Andy is the greatest guitarist for DD.
This is the post punk new wave, not funcky of the 70's..Andy was there for some reason, their sound was suppost to be not just one more synth pop, pop funcky band. And Andy is not only a guitar player to play whoever pop songs...I'm not saying Andy is the best piece of DD, but they are not Roxy music, OMD, Human League... They are a best set of five: SLB, AT, JT, RT, NR. It's what it is, and that is Duran Duran.
This concert was DD's best live performance ever by a mile. Much better than anything they did in the 80's. As well as this great ending - Ordinary World and Come Undone were unbelievable. These things that we thought of as pop songs back in the day we rightly recognize now as masterpieces. All of the band are good in their own rights but it has to be said that this concert was as good as it was because of Andy Taylor. The best songs of the night were all centered around his guitar playing. He didn't write or play on the studio version of Come Undone and he doesn't play it the same way that Warren did. He simplified the guitar parts on the verses and hardened them up a little bit in terms of the sound. But those alterations completely changed the nature of the song. In the studio version it feels like the beat and the pace of song has already set and the guitar is accompanying it - not in the background exactly but it's playing on top of what's already going on. The way Andy plays it transforms the guitar part into the main driver of the song. Don't get me wrong the studio version of Come Undone is fantastic - DD's best in fact. But this live version is better. In my view and regardless of the rights and wrongs of who left and why, Duran Duran is simply a better band when Andy Taylor is in it.
TheSmithDorian Very Good observation on Andy's excellent guitar playing. He was exceptional that night, gave the songs that extra grind and heavier sound.
Everyone talks about John being a great bass player, but lets give props to Nick! If it wasn't for Nick, Duran Duran wouldn't sound the way they do! Roger is awesome on the drums!
I've seen DD live 4 times and this tour was the best by far. They were all at the top of their game. I feel so fortunate to have gotten to meet them backstage and have a ring-side (closer than front row) view.

Before Roger quit the band it seemd like he had a sort of sadness about him. Like he didn't want to be there. But now that he came out of retirement this is the happiest that I've ever seen him.
7:56 Wow! Look at how happy Roger is. I don't think he was ever this happy before. I think that now that he's back in the band again he seems so happy. Whereas before he wasn't very happy at all. :(
Nobody else can rock it in concert like DD!!!! Today's "musicians" can compare to DD's live shows!!!! Play the F*******ing bass John... Just the best bass player out there!!!!
Can't say they were my cup of tea back in my teen days when they first hit the scene in the early 80's. But effin-a they were talented. It's just when you grew up listening to all your older brother's Zeppelin, Stones, Areosmith, and Deep Purple albums, it was hard to morph over to this style.
I have to say that is the funny thing I have seen with Simon sitting by the drums after John finishes his solo saying,"I'm just gonna sit here and no one will know that I've gone." Then he starts whistling. Nick goes thru a list of his former occupations before joining Duran Duran, and then introduces him. Even Andy is smiling at this whole thing. They look so close then. Too bad it didn't last.
Oh my God! I love Duran Duran in concert! Can't believe I didn't see this video until now. Start at 3:00 mark for best jam session ever. Guitar & bass riffs at the end are amazing. You could tell John, Rog & Andy had a blast jamming together! You can definitely hear each instrument & every crazy sound that Nick & Simon can possibly bring forth!
Ladys and gents, on the stage: Mr Nick Rhodes, Andy taylor, Roger Taylor, Simon le Bon and John Taylor, 5 extra top musicians, yesterday, today and tomorrow, enought said.
Everybody is arguing over who was responsible for D2's sound but I'm of the school of thought that if a drummer doesn't know how to keep the rhythm going then there's no way a band like this will EVER sound as good as this.
no matter what, DD will always be perfect. maybe not to you but maybe to other people, that solo that nick did was awesome. but its ur opinion and I respect that.
Watch Andy when Simon is sitting down near the drums near the end of the song when Nick introduces Simon. You can see Andy smiling and looking at Simon as Nick goes thru the various occupations Simon had before joining the band especially when he says "milkman's assistant." Then when Andy plays his solo at the end Simon and John smile and seem to be enjoying it. Simon even starts dancing around to it. That is what I meant. They seemed to be having fun 2gether then.
This song makes me wanna play the bass guitar. Wow John Taylor is a beast on the bass guitar on this song. He should join the who he kinda plays like the late John Entwistle with that punchy bass lines
But what he does here is not the whole he does in DD, composing, producing...So I don't see it like that. Would DD sound the same without him? I don't think. As I don't think it does without Andy.
Only WORLD CLASS musicians can deliver live music like this.
Very true. Loved them in the eighties. And still do.
Andy Taylor is probably the most underrated guitar player of all time. He’s good….really good.
Both with the great John Taylor that really really is amazing.!!
He might be a good player, but at this concert, his guitar was tuned down too low......Girls recording requires the guitar part to be upfront or loud in the mix. The guitar carries the tune, but not here......it's the vocal and the keys. The guy at the mixing board blew it.
@@johnmaer nah the bass was waaaay too quiet here. The bass drives those early records, especially "Rio" the song
@@rachelar Never equated bass as the prominent sound in Duran. Keys, guitar....yes, but bass it always got slighted in the mix.
Andy and John are 2 of the best by far at their instruments
There are a small handful of bands who's live shows sound way better than their albums and Duran Duran is one of them. Iconic!
John Taylor, now and then the sexiest man in Rock and Roll ever.
Agreed.
John Taylor's bass line is fire.
This is the best Live Version of Girls on Film I ever heard I was really impressed with Andy's style of Guitar he blew the rest of the band away I mean you see it in John's face towards the end of the song! I still Love Duran Duran but never the same without Andy Taylor
Hoping one day he will again do another reunion with them.
Denise B watch the Fashion Rocks 2003 version of Girls on Film. Love it and Andy rocks that one like no one's business!
the bass is where it's at
Andy kicked ass!
They all kicked ass But Andy rocked it!
@@mad5210 I got a chance to see it & i agree 100% with you on that one
So great to see Andy on axe again. And he rocked it, much to the appreciation of the rest of the band!
the 5 original members are irreplaceable, the truth is that Andy Taylor should never have left the band in 2006, he always put the classic rock touch with his guitar.
I pray 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼that one day he thinks it over and returns to Duran Duran.

100%
They bring something that is TOTALLY missing from today's music musicianship!!!!
John was so adorbs. Roger got so handsome. Simon’s body is on fire.
The most perfect band ever!!!
@Peter Angles They are not Pop, they are New Wave....
@Peter Angles wdum synth pop and new wave rocks
Most perfect band ever? Did u heard Led Zeppelin ?
@@fabiannaya2067 led zeppelin are far from perefect
Greatest band EVER!!!Just wished Andy was always with them.He adds a unique sound to them
finding andy taylor, john taylor, and roger taylor not as a brothers, now that's a band miracle.....
most rockin' version of them - great!
P.S. Andy we miss you!
Wow! If this song doesn't describe the sound of the 80s I don't know what does.
This is the post punk new wave, not funcky of the 70's..Andy was there for some reason, their sound was suppost to be not just one more synth pop, pop funcky band.

80s were the ring best gen
Thomas Dolby, I'd say
Been a fan since 1983 ,the greatest band ever ,DD forever ❤️🤍💙🇬🇧❤️🤍💙🇬🇧X .
Duran duran ahora salon de la fama del Rock and roll simón bellooooooo 2022 felicidades ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😘😘😘😘👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
WOW!!! WHAT A PERFORMANCE! Totally awesome! Play the fookin' bass John!!!!
There aren't many musicians that sound as good live as in the studio. Duran sound better!! Utterly amazing.
Was no mega fan back then, but as the years rolled on, there is no denying their collective genius.
Wow. They actually sounds like a rock & roll band. Bravo.
I've missed so many concerts by them,😭 And this was especially worth seeing...
Ya somos 2
This the song made me fall in love with Duran Duran every since I been hooked.

SORRY , BUT THEIR FIRST SHOW IN OAKLAND COLISIUM IN 84 WAS ONE OF THE BEST CONCERTS IVE EVER SEEN ....
Everyone talks about John being a great bass player, but lets give props to Nick! If it wasn't for Nick, Duran Duran wouldn't sound the way they do! Roger is awesome on the drums!
best pop band ever.
Miss ya Andy!! Love ya man!!
the bass is so awesome in this song
That was one of the best comeback concerts I've ever seen!!!! DD 4eva x
I've seen DD live 4 times and this tour was the best by far. They were all at the top of their game. I feel so fortunate to have gotten to meet them backstage and have a ring-side (closer than front row) view.

That baseline! :))
I so love how they ended this version. ✌
This is the best performance of this song......ever...FACT!
Here I am, probably 1 of the biggest AEROSMITH fans in Massachusetts, but I love DURAN-DURAN
Nice to see Nick bringing his Jupiter 8 out of retirement. Far too valuable to take on tour nowadays
Lucky sod has 3 of them.......
7:56
Wow! Look at how happy Roger is. I don't think he was ever this happy before. I think that now that he's back in the band again he seems so happy. Whereas before he wasn't very happy at all. :(
My fave Duran Duran song, oh the memories
Who ever called this a boy band is NUTS! FUCKING brilliant!!!!!!
True, look at these mature dudes just doing their thing, experience, what a turn on!
Non cambiate mai ragazzi. Che emozione
Nobody else can rock it in concert like DD!!!! Today's "musicians" can compare to DD's live shows!!!!
Play the F*******ing bass John... Just the best bass player out there!!!!
Dan, John is so hot when he plays that bass, just look at his facial expressions!
Makes me want to rush up there and jump into his arms!
AMEN TO THAT!!!BEST BAND EVER!!!!!!!!!!
WHY DID U CENSOR URSELF💀💀💀💀
Io amo loro

I have no words .. wow !

ВЕЩЬ - ГЕНИАЛЬНАЯ,
ДЖЕМ - ВЕЛИКОЛЕПЕН!!!
Duran Duran Live From London.....The Women in the crowd are all you need to know about this band.....
Amazing performance
6:52 la sensualidad que maneja en su voz me deja con un no se que😍😍lo amo mucho
Amazing show. Bonus tracks from BIG THING
I gotta say,,,This is such an Awesome display of who you guys are.
The most sexy song of the 80's
Simon le bon looking good
What I can also say...is that I can hear every instrument. A nice rarity.
Sono dei grandi!!!!li adoravo e tutt'ora li adoro...👍👍👍
Greatness needs no words...:
Brilliant
What frònt man Simon Le Bon is , sublime band 👌
these guys are ridiculously FUN!
no matter what, DD will always be perfect. maybe not to you but maybe to other people, that solo that nick did was awesome. but its ur opinion and I respect that.
I love Nick on keyboards, because I thing he has a lot of genius. But they are all very good together.
I love it when musicians get into it deep.....
No Way man!! iT was COOL!!
Go John, Godfather of Bass ❤
bass!!!!!!
Watch Andy when Simon is sitting down near the drums near the end of the song when Nick introduces Simon. You can see Andy smiling and looking at Simon as Nick goes thru the various occupations Simon had before joining the band especially when he says "milkman's assistant."

I love them,forever‼︎
from Japan
a wonderful concert...
i loved duran duran in 7th grade so this cool to see. John Taylor a pretty great bass player
Wow, Andy Taylor! Love Duran Duran!
This song makes me wanna play the bass guitar. Wow John Taylor is a beast on the bass guitar on this song. He should join the who he kinda plays like the late John Entwistle with that punchy bass lines
Definitely their best song
yes, absolutely, he is so nice.
Only low views - how's that possible? They were huge in the 80's!!!!
Wow..awesome 👍🏼😍😍😍🇹🇹
john taylor is a great bass player,he's at the top of the list..
Iconic!
Poppy-funky track indeed!
Awesome!
Amazing 👏🏼 ❤
I totally agree with you, rls22! They rock!
wonderful.
@genericmetalname666 I wasn't old enough back in the day, but John and his magic hands could nail me now.
Hell, yeah. Exactly.
But there's a LONG line.
Brava , con Rio e Wild Boys , energia +++++
oh and I forgot to say DURAN DURAN ARE #1!!!!
Magnifico!!!
Happily, sorted :-)
OMG!!!Simon!!!
Nick Rhodes proves his contribution to the Duran Duran sound, once and for all on his solo slot here........less than zero!
But what he does here is not the whole he does in DD, composing, producing...So I don't see it like that. Would DD sound the same without him? I don't think. As I don't think it does without Andy.
cant waite to see these at sheffield on 4th june who else is going
Mannnn,
I’d love to be a cub in that den full of cougars 😩
LMAO!
C-part of this song starting from 6:20 is one of the greatest 'ending' ever made! Also on video!!
Are they the most good-looking group I've ever seen? ... yeah, totally!
The Big 80s !!
