Me too..best live band in the whole world love Simon there so underestimated, glad they proved all those sceptic all wrong more than pretty good looking guys .wish them all the best in there new up coming album in the autum....
It's songs like this that prove DD was never the shallow boy band people tried to say they were just because they were fashion-savvy and good looking. Still one of my favorites.
Yes, I've never ever thought of DD as just another fly-by-the-moment, shallow boy band (many of which certainly came after the Duran Duran era). DD's music is much too complex, thoughtful, and original to meet the "boy band" qualification. They're one of the few bands whose every song I've listened to over and over through the years, while still finding them fresh and energizing!
I would be in heaven!!! I love this band immensely. This song, yassss!!! Simon looks AMAZING as usual and so does Nick, John, and Roger..you are okay Dom. ❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥
Same here dude...Man that was an incredible night. I am glad this is finally going to be released. Wish it was the actual concert though, but a double cd is nice too..Angelo Badlamenti is one of my favorite composers. That night was pure magic. Will remember it forever...
Simon’s voice hasn’t changed at all in 40 years! Duran Duran is STILL one of the most influential and popular bands out there! Going strong and still evolving 40 years later - and only getting better as they keep going!
so true..."my envied lady holds you fast in her gaze"...and that's just the lyrics I'm high on...listen to the layers...listen at any time of day...in any mood...brilliant
@@mattma96 He was a really pretty guy, as was all the band. It is 2022, and we all get old and our looks fade, sorry to say. It is just a fact of life... hey, but they can still kill it as a band!
Is that Ocarina he is playing a soprano in D? I know random question, but we are covering this song soon, and I have never played one of these, but may be trying
Their longevity show that they were not just an 80's boy band. These guys make great music. They perform with class, they don't run on stage shirtless, they dress like men and they perform like veterans of music. The Chauffeur was done in the early 80's but if they released this song today, it would be a huge hit . Can't wait for their new album this fall. Keep smiling 🤘😃
@@FacheChanteDeux It was the perfect end for an album that was undoubtedly structured as a performance of two complementing sides. The way the song ends is the reverse in many ways of how Rio begins. Or maybe I'm reading way too much into it.
Man, Simon's voice just kept so pure and powerful. He never lost it even after all these years. That's impressive! All the members are incredible together. Especially when Andy was with them, they had such amazing chemistry together.
I truly believe that Rio is one of the best albums ever made and possibly the best new wave album, ever. As I have aged I appreciate its truly eerie and haunting soundscape, the wonderfully strange and beautiful lyrics written by Simon, and the band’s fantastic musicianship even more..I can listen to this beauty of a song thousands of times and still find something new to admire…gorgeous
There is a special magic to having music that effectively solves time travel, transporting a person back to when they were 13 and being swathed in the all-encompassing thrall of sound, transcending the mundane worries of adolescence into a glimpse of the Universe's potential and knowing one is a part of that great mystery. Everything is eternally new, and the aged cynic is washed again with fresh wonder.
Just beautiful its my favourite song Duran Duran have ever done .I was 15 when I first heard this has so much meaning to my life. It always brings tears to my eyes because I lost someone so dear to me ❤
Nailed it! I can’t believe how great they sound after so many years! Simon’s voice is amazing . And they look incredible. Just wow! One of my all time fav Duran Duran songs.
Canzone meravigliosa e senza tempo! La parte finale "ocarinata" rende la melodia particolarmente struggente e al contempo sensuale. Interpretazione straordinaria.
@@deepeaumm Yeah? I'm not stuck in the past, so do understand that music eras must change, but can you name another band of today equivalent to DD in their day? Music meant so much more than music back in the 80s.
@@ShezDDARG naaa!!!para nada,Lebon es un gran vocalista y Jhon unos de los mejores bajistas del mundo,Andy es un buen guitarrista y hasta ahi nomas,pero Nick es el cerebro del grupo y aparte desde el comienzo de los Duran,todo pasa por él...
What a performance!!! Simon's singular voice keeps perfect for his age. For sure the "Duranies" are on the run. I'm from Brazil. A fan since 1983 when I was 15.
In a world of average taste it's a honour being underrated, the prerogative that compels to a sad fate the greatest artists. Duran Duran are not for everyone, the rest stays the rest.
One of my favorites...and very surprised that at 52 I can still remember all the words after not hearing the song for many many years! Brought back a lot of high school memories for me. Thanks for sharing!
I've been listening to that song since the time it came out almost 40 years ago and I still never get bored of listening to it again and again. So emotional and inspired. A masterpiece. Why people let pop music go so wrong?
This wonderful song made me fell in LOVE with Duran Duran! I can never, ever get enough of it... the melody stays in my heart forever! Their hits are great but this classic is beyond hits.
Siete entrati nella mia vita nel lontano 1982 come un raggio di sole e da allora siete sempre qui con me♥️ The Chaffeure una delle più belle canzoni che resteranno nella storia.
I have followed these guys for over 40 years.....amazing.
Me too

Me 40 years in 2022 ;-)
Wow ! Simon ! !
I Duran Duran sono la mia band del cuore da quando sono saliti alla ribalta cioe quaranta anni fa e io avevo sette anni .
One or the few singers who can do a 40 year old song in the original key. ❤️
Simon’s vocal delivery is magnificent ❤️
His voice is incredible. Still!
It's songs like this that prove DD was never the shallow boy band people tried to say they were just because they were fashion-savvy and good looking. Still one of my favorites.

It never made sense to me either. I always found their music had much more depth than any boy band of the era.
I think it was the screaming hoards of 13 year old girls following them around and their youth that gave them a boy - band rep.
They were never a boy band. Boy bands don’t play any instruments as a band.
👍
I was so lucky to be in the front row for that performance.
How cool!!!
I would be in heaven!!! I love this band immensely.
This song, yassss!!! Simon looks AMAZING as usual and so does Nick, John, and Roger..you are okay Dom. ❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥

When was this?
@@MsLylals 2015 Los Angeles
Nick is an ABSOLUTE synth God!!!
If Duran Duran aren't mentioned at my funeral , I'm coming back ....
🤣👍 I want my coffin strapped to a windmill while DD sing Wild Boys.
That’s awesome!😅
How do I comment? I’m lost. I have a comment to make.
Do you realize Joe perfect his pitch is when singing, but his pipe? He does both at the same time. Pure love for his craft.
Sorry not Joe, though.
Simon is as handsome as ever & his voice is holding up well. I wish they would've shown more of JT, when he smiles his whole body is in it!!!
I couldn't agree more. Makes my heart smile DD are still together, looking healthy and overall doing well.
I adore John Taylor and his huge contributions to DD!!
@@J-Mack it has always been a strong nose. That's sexy
For anyone wondering, this is from April 2015 in LA.
No.....this is 1982 !!!! Forever!!!!
Simon’s voice hasn’t changed at all in 40 years! Duran Duran is STILL one of the most influential and popular bands out there! Going strong and still evolving 40 years later - and only getting better as they keep going!
Put this song against any of these pop songs.. This is one of the most original songs in the last 40 years, no comparison
so true..."my envied lady holds you fast in her gaze"...and that's just the lyrics I'm high on...listen to the layers...listen at any time of day...in any mood...brilliant
This Song, "To the Shore", and "The Man Who Stole a Leopard" 🐆 are My Favorite Duran Duran Songs.
Japan Ghosts Wassup?
Their best song... My opinion.
One of the most underrated songs and bands ever
Simon looking sharp. The whole band looking and sounding good.
does not ever change ... they are indeed - timeless !!!
I agree! This was recorded in April of 2015.
OMG, I love him ❤️❤️❤️
@@sashadzura I bet you'll be crazy for Simon's 23-25 year old self......

The Chauffeur is, by far, my favorite song, and this is a beautiful performance.
This sounds like I just played it off the album! 39 years later and this song is still fantastic, as are Duran Duran! ❤
The sound of DURAN DURAN IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS IN THE 80S,,
@@simonmcgough7336 Agree 100%!!
This 💯
Amazing.....🎼🎹🎶🎸
I was 17 in '82😁😁😁
@@gavinturner5565 Lol - I was 12!
WOW... just wow... ! All the elements of the original, but with "live betterment" !
The Ocarina solo is just wonderful on every level.
I had no idea that Simon plated instruments
@@glennoc8585 The Ocarina is simple to play. Most likely he just learned the music needed.
I thought the ocarina was a brilliant touch at the end
The ocarina with the guitar in background ❤..always different in every performance!

Duran Duran is one of the few modern bands that will go down in history
An undisputed masterpiece next to a pure genius David Lynch
Take me back to the DD 80s...best memories of my life...
This one was always my favourite off the Rio album. Should’ve got more recognition than it did back in the day.
It was and has always been recognized as one of their best, signature songs.
It is their cult classic. Everyone who knows this song loves it, thankfully many people know it well.
@@FacheChanteDeux It was the perfect end for an album that was undoubtedly structured as a performance of two complementing sides. The way the song ends is the reverse in many ways of how Rio begins. Or maybe I'm reading way too much into it.
Absolutely incredible. Brings back such a rush of memories
The way Simon sings this, it's like he is undressing me with his voice 😘😊
Oh my good❤❤❤
Yes yes yes 🎉
Amazing! Simon's voice is incredibile 40 years later!
I totally agree!!!! He still sounds great! Actually, they all still sound and look amazing after all these years 😊.
Better than it was ♥️
Find me a singer who sounds just as good if not better 40 odd years later
This song is a genuine masterpiece.
This song feeds my soul. Always gives me chills hearing it played live. This performance was outstanding. THANK YOU!
💝
Love this song. Seen it live 4 times. I cannot believe this was not a single and not on some movie or tv show soundtrack.
Man, Simon's voice just kept so pure and powerful. He never lost it even after all these years. That's impressive! All the members are incredible together. Especially when Andy was with them, they had such amazing chemistry together.
Simon has aged so well, he is more gorgeous now than he ever was.
I don't think there's ever been a hotter song written. It's just hot and bothered and sexy - and it's been smokin' for nearly 40 years. LOVE! ❤🔥
These guys have so much talent. I was obsessed with them in 84 when I was 13. Listening now and still blown away!

One of the greatest songs ever written.
Geez this is a stunner, great performance. I love the dark side of DD best.

This song is food for my soul.
Duran Duran is like a good old wine,Duran Duran sounds better with age!
They are still the same! No changes since decades ❤
👏👏👏👏
Simon’s voice is actually better than ever…
...And this is why Duran Duran is my favorite band of all time!!! The collaboration of music and instruments are second to none!!!

So many memories listening to this song. Chris Corner did an amazing job, covering this song together with Simon. perfect!
Ahhhh... when songs had tunes and bands had talent, identity, humour, looks.The stuff that dreams are made of.
Still plenty of that today. Perhaps not much on the radio anymore, but that's not so important nowadays

Probably the greatest song and music ensemble ever written! What a beauty!
Magnifique chanson et la voix sublime de SIMON J’ADORE ♥ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hands down my favorite song by any artist!!! It will captivates me now as it did when it first came out some 40 years ago
Love it! ❤absolutely love it! Listen to this song all the time never gets old

My all-time favorite song.
Such an excellent performance!
One of the songs that he showed up for his audition in his legendary book of lyrics
Simon's still got it...but then I don't think there's been a day in his life when he didn't so....lol
I’m not sure ‘I smell like I sound’ was his finest lyrical moment😂
I love his velvet suits
¡Gracias, Duran Duran!
