This is what was missing from the Paper Gods tour... songs like this, instead of all their hits... their die hard fans want to hear the non singles and deep cuts, even the B-Sides....
Paper goods was a good tour...agree too repeated charts hits... I hope the 40th anniversary shows will have these gems! I got this dvd my online...great show
Just saw Hold Back the rain tonight at the Paper Gods tour in Tokyo and it was the power track of the night!!! Absolutely went off !!!!! BTW the rest of the show was super amazing. I flew from Australia to Japan just to see my DD and they didn't disappoint. Tears in my eyes.
Could have said it better! WAY too many of the songs from DD and Rio belong in current set lists. I am personally sick of Rio, HLTW, Notorious, and Save a Prayer ... would love to hear more of these songs which have such a wonderful energy and tone to them!
I'm with you Rocio....I have been a fan since I was 11 and although Notorious is one of my fave Albums I love all of their early stuff and wish they would put more into their 'Set Lists'.
I think these songs(featured in this medley) made me me like this band. I was not a disco fan and these early songs from Duran Duran were songs that fused dance /dying disco and rock.
Have loved DD since i was 12. Being a teen in the 80s was amazing. Love these 2 songs together...hold back the rain is my favourite..should have been a single!
+Deanna Coker Truth is that this band has a spirit, doesn't matter what songs they release, they are always fun to watch and they combine everything and something for everybody. These guys created something very unique from the beginning, their music is timeless.
Duran Duran are like my heart. There is something that lives in their music and sound and their personalities ... it reflects or holds something so deeply personal somehow. They are my Candle, my Torch ... they have saved my soul so many times. I know that sounds crazy ... but it's true. I love these songs, the lyrics, and the way they just ARE. I love Duran Duran.
I wish DD start playing these rarer songs in concert, I love wild boys or Hungry like the wolf, even safe a prayer but I 'll skip those ones to have them play late bar or secret october and Anyone out there or to the shore
This was f**king badass.... 2 of my favorite deep cuts of theirs played seamlessly together.... wish I had heard this live. I would have been losing my mind. I always feel that “Hold Back The Rain” would have been a massive hit if they had released it as a single after Rio.
two songs that ruled my world in the early 80s. Out of high school, i hit the road running hard and fast- this was so very much part of that life. excellent memories.
Pity that they do not include some of the great tracks from DD and Rio in their current sets. Sound of Thunder Friends of Mine Waiting for the Night Boat Careless Memories New Religion Hold Back the Rain!!!
Fantastic songs you listed and yes, they are all missing from their current tour set lists...I would have loved to hear some of these gems when I saw their show a couple of weeks ago!
Realize how awesome 80’s music is!! Complete BS Duran is not in the Rock & Roll hall of fame!! Perfect example of them blending disco and punk the sound they pioneered!!
Cracking songs, amazing sound. Simon in incredible shape with his voice in this. JT is very underrated as a bassist. Whoever the editor & director responsible for this video tho need slapping. Truly awful camerawork..
probably the best live versions of any songs - but I'm biased. Nice to hear John singing and looking happy. And ain't Nick working hard? lol Simon sounds great too! Like this guitar player, and Roger's here too. :)
No more wasting John Taylor's voice, please. John Taylor should at least be singing refrains more often. His voice compliments Simons' voice exquisitely in Hold Back The Rain. SLB and JT both have voices that are so fine.................
this sounds sooooo good, makes me miss Andy Taylor. I wish they would include more of these songs in their sets and not so many hits we've heard a million times.
Simon wrote the lyrics for Hold Back the Rain about his concern for John's substance abuse problems. If you notice he looks right at John when he sings "Not on your own so help me please hold back the rain." I don't think that was accidental.
Absolutely two stupendous songs by them. I remember the Seven & the Ragged Tiger tour when I was a young male Duranny. I'm sure they still draw the crowds.
This is bizar! I saw them live in 1982 in Paradiso Amsterdam. I had a radio recording of that show. This is pretty close to how they where sounding back then. My favorite Duran Duran sound ,inbetween rock and disco. Well done guys!
great songs!hold back the rain is a song about john drug addiction in the 80 ties.if you hear good at the text you understand it.i did 25 jears to understand it.....
Duran Duran has always been my best favorite band their music is so wonderful and their latest CD is the greatest yeah I love it I played in my car all the time I can't get over how awesome it came out. I wish that they would come to United States and new work at space and Saratoga Springs New York or come to what's the other place Or come to the cool sure in arena Which also was the civic center in Glens Falls New York Or possible mvp Arena
Simon's voice started out in the 80's in a very good range and very nice and crisp. Then, in the late 80's and most of the 90's it just got like as if he didnt give a shit. But I think now its like the 80's but better, better, better, awesome. Way to go Charlie, you da man in my books. Always a Duran Fan, peace.
Everytime these guys play they should play the first album and Rio and call it a night, maybe a couple of songs from Seven And The Ragged Tiger to fill it out. Those first two are so far and away above everything else they have done since.
A partir de 02:20 eu começo a entender porque eu ainda com 9 anos de idade comecei a gostar de DD...simplesmente a melhor banda de todos os tempos...pra mim DD é soberano !!! PQP !!!!
This must have been recorded right on the casp of Andy's departure. Dom's using AT's guitars, running thru his Mesa Boogies and even wearing the suits!
I would LOVE a tour of deep cuts, no hits!
Me too!
Two of the most underrated Duran Duran songs,.....play it loud boys
Wonderfull
Total agree......
HBTR made me so happy….not sure why others aren’t fans
💯❤️❤️
100%
This is what was missing from the Paper Gods tour... songs like this, instead of all their hits... their die hard fans want to hear the non singles and deep cuts, even the B-Sides....
This is the real DD
Yep, it sure is. Love it so much..
Yes!!! More “Shadows on Your Side, New Religion, Careless Memories”.
So true !! I am waiting for a tour full of non-hits and B sides !! (and another tour where they play the complete So Red The Rose straight
Paper goods was a good tour...agree too repeated charts hits... I hope the 40th anniversary shows will have these gems! I got this dvd my online...great show
Seen them 17 times since ‘84 and they’ve never done TSOT live. This audience is blessed.
Just saw Hold Back the rain tonight at the Paper Gods tour in Tokyo and it was the power track of the night!!! Absolutely went off !!!!!
BTW the rest of the show was super amazing. I flew from Australia to Japan just to see my DD and they didn't disappoint. Tears in my eyes.
Duran Duran music is the soundtrack for my life. Now my 20 year old daughter is a fan as well.
Shauna L you're an intelligent woman.
more of this and less of notorious and hungry like the wolf ! this is beyond awesome !!!
hungry like the wolf I love, but I agree on notorious. white lines can go too!
+scott stapleton they included love voodoo in the new set list! awesome warren era songs. love it
Could have said it better! WAY too many of the songs from DD and Rio belong in current set lists. I am personally sick of Rio, HLTW, Notorious, and Save a Prayer ... would love to hear more of these songs which have such a wonderful energy and tone to them!

Have loved DD since i was 12. Being a teen in the 80s was amazing. Love these 2 songs together...hold back the rain is my favourite..should have been a single!
Hold Bck The Rain is my favourite song from the Rio Album :) Wish they would sing it more often rather than Save A Prayer
My God, how I still love these guys.
Deanna Coker What would we do without them?!
Christy Lowder DeAnna said probably die. Teen years NEVER the same!!!
+Deanna Coker Truth is that this band has a spirit, doesn't matter what songs they release, they are always fun to watch and they combine everything and something for everybody.
These guys created something very unique from the beginning, their music is timeless.
+The Slavery Channel
I totally agree with you. I was hooked from day one. Duranie forever!!
DeAnna
It was love at first sight and all these years later, it is just as strong. Love them forever and ever amen! Duranie for life ❤️
The world's greatest band, 40 years and counting... #DD4ever
That was bloody awesome!!! I love it when they pull something unexpected from their “back” catalog.
Needs to happen much more often!!
Duran Duran are like my heart. There is something that lives in their music and sound and their personalities ... it reflects or holds something so deeply personal somehow.

soooo wish they would play these songs live now
I wish DD start playing these rarer songs in concert, I love wild boys or Hungry like the wolf, even safe a prayer but I 'll skip those ones to have them play late bar or secret october and Anyone out there or to the shore
YES
And ditch White Lines and Notorious!
And ditch The Reflex. The album version of that one is better than the remix anyway!
These two songs need to be played more at concerts... My fave amongst many of Duran Duran songs.. p.s
Good lord John Taylor is a Gem.🥰🥰🥰
WOW!! That´s it! Love those 1st and 2nd albums mega hi energy synth driven songs! For me, that´s what the band is all about!
My favorite song from DD 1. Well, maybe my favorite among the non-singles. lol Such a good album from a great band. What a debut!
the worls spins so fast that I might fly off!!! ...Love both these songs
Absolutely brilliant lyric.
My god!!.. this song is just amazing!!. This is real music!!.
When these songs are on the set list it's a very good night!!!
Fab!!! That's why they are my all time favourite band. Gosh that was quite an audience
Best live Duran Duran performance I've ever seen. Totally flawless and both amazing songs.
So love hold back the rain..John as back up singer was epic...
Mi banda preferida siempre duranduran
Best Band in the world.
This was f**king badass.... 2 of my favorite deep cuts of theirs played seamlessly together.... wish I had heard this live. I would have been losing my mind.
I always feel that “Hold Back The Rain” would have been a massive hit if they had released it as a single after Rio.
My favorite d d songs.
Two awesome underrated tracks. DD are brilliant 👏👏👏👏🇦🇺
Badass tune, along with anyone out there. That first album is something special.
two songs that ruled my world in the early 80s. Out of high school, i hit the road running hard and fast- this was so very much part of that life. excellent memories.
OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! This is the best!
Hold back the rain !!!!! You did hold it John !
Pity that they do not include some of the great tracks from DD and Rio in their current sets. Sound of Thunder Friends of Mine Waiting for the Night Boat Careless Memories New Religion Hold Back the Rain!!!
Fantastic songs you listed and yes, they are all missing from their current tour set lists...I would have loved to hear some of these gems when I saw their show a couple of weeks ago!
Realize how awesome 80’s music is!! Complete BS Duran is not in the Rock & Roll hall of fame!! Perfect example of them blending disco and punk the sound they pioneered!!
My favorit song from Duran Duran "The Sound of Thunder". I love this Band.
Would give a lot to enjoy these 2 classics live!!
Cracking songs, amazing sound. Simon in incredible shape with his voice in this. JT is very underrated as a bassist. Whoever the editor & director responsible for this video tho need slapping. Truly awful camerawork..
+Andrew Gordon Now he is better than ever. Cheers Sir.
❤❤❤❤ gosto muitooooooo desses rapazes, tocam muitooooooo!!!
Luv This song!!!! DD Always Wild Boys sending 80s Sounds of Thunder
Pure class. John's vocals sound great.
John's smile @ 4:13! incredibly touching, considering the HBTR context
mgparis omg!!! I’ve watched this video soooo many times & never noticed! JT is so f***** fine!
that was awesome! JT's smile at 4:12 after the crowd sings - priceless!
probably the best live versions of any songs - but I'm biased. Nice to hear John singing and looking happy. And ain't Nick working hard? lol Simon sounds great too! Like this guitar player, and Roger's here too. :)
I always love these 2 songs! specially Hold back the rain!
Best mix of two underated songs ...Wow
SOUND OF THUNDER IS SUCH A GOOD SONG
No more wasting John Taylor's voice, please. John Taylor should at least be singing refrains more often. His voice compliments Simons' voice exquisitely in Hold Back The Rain. SLB and JT both have voices that are so fine.................
Yes, he sings wonderfully with Simon!
John sounds awesome on the backing vocals, wow!
100% agree. John sounds fantastic!
39 NINE YEARS ON . WHO HERE IN 2020 ?? X😀
Fantastic performance of 2 top notch songs. Bloody brilliant!
TEMAZO!!! Duran duran por siempre y para siempre!!! Cómo amo está canción!!!!
Nice to see them doing early stuff
Yes these two tracks are my faves from their first Album.
Hold Back the Rain is from Rio. But they are two fucking classic Duran tunes. Love them both and loved watching this.
Two of my favourite tracks from DD utterly utterly entrancing
Vintage duran duran love it
I just loved this one!!!💘💘💘💘
They never die..!! Number one..!! 🥳🥳🥳🎶🎶🎶🔥🔥🔥
this sounds sooooo good, makes me miss Andy Taylor. I wish they would include more of these songs in their sets and not so many hits we've heard a million times.
Duran Duran still knows how to bring it!
I wish I had been here; love these two songs; great Segway!!!
HBTR !!!! It's s-e-g-u-e; segue. Segway might be a good name for grocery store or pharmacy, though...
This song along with Hungry Like the wolf is what started it for me. Wish they would perform this more often!
so proud of my band!! never ever getting tired of this!! sublime performance!
the non-single tracks from the debut album are the best songs on the album. All of them.
Was fortunate to hear this song with Andy Taylor. The band definitely lacks punch without him playing guitar
I went to about 80 Duran Duran shows since 1987, but that one I missed. S***!!!
Love it sounds awesome
That freakin' bassline❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾
Temazos Sin duda Por siempre Duran Duran !!!
I can't listen to this without Andy. No rock edge. Like being given anesthesia.
They’re more like New Order now. They should give Warren a call tbh
I said the same thing. The band lacks punch without Andy
Simon wrote the lyrics for Hold Back the Rain about his concern for John's substance abuse problems. If you notice he looks right at John when he sings "Not on your own so help me please hold back the rain." I don't think that was accidental.
Love Hold Back The Rain,fav Duran song ever!!!!
Absolutely two stupendous songs by them. I remember the Seven & the Ragged Tiger tour when I was a young male Duranny. I'm sure they still draw the crowds.
John Taylor what a beast of a player!
Pure POWER!
I love them from John Peel days xxx
This is bizar!
I saw them live in 1982 in Paradiso Amsterdam. I had a radio recording of that show.
This is pretty close to how they where sounding back then.
My favorite Duran Duran sound ,inbetween rock and disco.
Well done guys!
Been listening to there old tracks recently, hold back the rain is such a tune!
That was great - can't wait I'm seeing them again this summer!!!
the bass line in this song.....
Nice bassline. Trying to learn. Zuma would be proud.
This sounds so good. They are awesome. You guys rock!
Duran Duran❤❤❤❤
great songs!hold back the rain is a song about john drug addiction in the 80 ties.if you hear good at the text you understand it.i did 25 jears to understand it.....
Great and nice song. D+D que magnetismo que tienen¡. Los adoro.
Stunning Super Show.
Thundery Tremendous Tune.
thanks for posting just made my day, love it
Waiting for the sound of thunder, BOOM 🌩⚡️⛈☂☔️☂
Duran Duran has always been my best favorite band their music is so wonderful and their latest CD is the greatest yeah I love it I played in my car all the time I can't get over how awesome it came out. I wish that they would come to United States and new work at space and Saratoga Springs New York or come to what's the other place Or come to the cool sure in arena Which also was the civic center in Glens Falls New York Or possible mvp Arena

3:15 hold back the rain
Loved it well done
Have a bootleg DVDs of the gig, awesome show
A partir de 02:20 eu começo a entender porque eu ainda com 9 anos de idade comecei a gostar de DD...simplesmente a melhor banda de todos os tempos...pra mim DD é soberano !!! PQP !!!!
Superb energy...Superb song
More of this less of notorious and hungry like the wolf I will say it again and again! Love it awesome! !!
It was all for me❤️🎈
AMAZINGGGGGG
SIGH, stunning
Full on duran power
This must have been recorded right on the casp of Andy's departure. Dom's using AT's guitars, running thru his Mesa Boogies and even wearing the suits!
this band will come back
