@@MissNovemberTuesday This was Sept 1981. Simon was 22. He turned 23 the next month, in October. Unless it's European dates, and it's November, in which case he had just turned 23 two weeks earlier. Are you really that picky?
@@michaelrmurphy2734 yes he's had struggles in the past but seems to be doing well now. He's been in recovery since 1994 I think been clean since then . He has said himself that he is focused and happy but that each day is work x
Afyer 42 years they still sing it and never sound old.. ohhhh! Just love the populat 80s waist-length jacket back then. I was 11 in 1981, now Im 53 and they are still rocking it.. Love uols DD....😊
Always tight from Day 1 and always giving it everything they have... Stood the test of time, never stopped performing... and now they're in the RRHOF, well deserved !
Ive never seen nick play a scale ,,, ive seen him play knobs and sliders , but never a scale at minimum. How do you get the roland life time acheivent award is beyond me
I loved these guys, remember a girl in high school would invite me over after school and she would immerse me into it over and over. Wonderful, saw them in 93 and kravtiz opened for them.
Wow this is a very cool original live performance of Planet Earth! All the people sitting in the audience at that time, I wonder what they must have been thinking about DD. They were quite futuristic for that time in the early 80s. Although the song "Planet Earth" is about our planet, it has a very otherworldly sound as does the video of this song.
As a teenager I was a huge fan of them but i did not have any technology at home to see them live. I swear I'm lerning NOW at the end of 2023 that thery were amazing performing live.
LOVE this! Thank u so much for sharing this magical early performance and such great quality footage. Entire DD fandom need to see this..they would be in 7th heaven!!!!
Thought I was the only one who noticed. Poor guys.....probably why they didn’t show Nick’s face because he would’ve been fuming about the brain dead crowd !
Simon has never been the best vocalist, but oozes cool. Incredible stage presence. Although he has drastically improved. I suppose 40 years of practice helps.
He one of he best vocalists of 80s, for instance he was among best voices on intro of Do They Know Its Christmas, unique voice. Not very clever comment
Baby DD en vivo!!! Por supuesto... Tenían que trascender... 2:46 Mmmcosssita más bella John apenas con 21 añitos, un muñequito!!! Hace ya 40 años de este éxito???... qué maravilla!!! 4:07
Thats the best part though! Also they seemed to do that back in the day from what I've seen, as the synth player was usually stagnantly anchored between his rig.
Uhhhh............. is it just me? Or is that venue a formal dinner-type atmosphere? And here comes Duran Duran with their explosive bassist Mr. John Taylor and Simon at lead, just slaying Planet Earth hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!! So ironic and weird and totally awesome!!!!
thanks for sharing that! i've never seen the full show before, only PE and AOT. can you tell me what the source was of this? did you rip a VHS or was it re-shown on TV? also what was the proper running order of the 4 songs? thanks again!!
The source is a digital encoding from the tv-archive. The order of songs played, 1. Planet Earth 2. Hilarious Interview (not uploaded yet) + Anyone Out There 3. Girls on Film 4. Careless Memories Cheers!
I thought that also- until his birth date Gemini very close to my dad's- They-heed warning-Are Smart! Brain is not 1 dimentional- Dad (mine) worked on Werner Von Braun's rocket to the moon; It got there! That keyboard is his rocket! Yeeeaaah!
I always felt that Simon's voice was just over the line in terms of tone and sometimes if he was tired, hungover or on a substance his voice would slip below the tone line. Still looked and sounded good though....
John is adorable and incredible on that bass. Ughhhh
These guys were 20, 21, and 22 years old here.
And they sound fantastic live.
Nick was only 19. Simon was 23.

@@CN-dl2cj LOL, you come to make an issue thinking it was a little over a month until his birthday, rather than 2 weeks after and you call ME picky?
@@CN-dl2cj it was november
That is impressive...
This live version is so clear and so perfect.
Duran Duran For Life Folks!
God bless my taste of music
God is dead
@@miked3168 He is alive and He Loves you
he already has
Incredible footage and NOT a lip-synch. Absolutely awesome performance of a young Duran Duran.
can’t get enough of john, he looks so amazing playing, he’s always so into it😍
John is wow. Both musically and in looks 🔥🔥🔥
YEP! I hope he is OK. He has had struggles in the past but he is such an incredible musician!

This is the busiest I've ever seen Nick in a live setting. ;-)
Lovely Nick no ego but so creative
Ive never seen nick play a scale ,,, ive seen him play knobs and sliders , but never a scale at minimum. How do you get the roland life time acheivent award is beyond me
@@stelioscapetanakis9148 he looks cool pushing buttons:p
This is the Duran Duran I felt in love with.
Roger fenomenal toque de la batería que energía, fuerza ❤❤❤👍👍👍increíble baterista 💋💋💋💋
Bravissimi ,bellissimi e giovanissimi DD ❤️ Simon voce meravigliosa gia da allora e anche oggi .
0:14 Look at Nick Rhodes' hand uncontrollably shaking. He must have been so nervous. They were so new to television at this point.
The new "British invasion" as they stated back when....these guys wer e amazing! 🤙
new romantic and new wave since 1981
And so the perfection began.
When Simon sang without doing vibrato at all. Great in any case.
I loved these guys, remember a girl in high school would invite me over after school and she would immerse me into it over and over. Wonderful, saw them in 93 and kravtiz opened for them.
GOD...I LOVED THIS SONG BACK THEN!!!!! YOU GOT LUCKY TO SEE THEM...THANKS FOR LETTING ME LIVE THE MEMORY THRU YOU!
Still one of the best videos i’ve ever seen. This whole set is!

Thank you for sharing. The quality is great, a gift for all DD fans.
Remember the first time I heard Planet Earth and thought ah ok! I like this very much....
John Taylor is good at bass guitar
They are just so amazing and gorgeous 🥰!!!
As a teenager I was a huge fan of them but i did not have any technology at home to see them live. I swear I'm lerning NOW at the end of 2023 that thery were amazing performing live.
I wish we could go back in times n appreciate the pop culture
Roger Taylor is one of favorite drummers! John and Andy Taylor were both bad ass too! Great rhythm section! Wild Boys of pop rock!
When DD lost Roger it was a straight downhill for years
Increíble la calidad de vídeo
I think it’s pretty obvious their producers and record company urged them to follow their sound on this fantastic song. The rest is history.
Oh john:p
I♡You
LOVE this! Thank u so much for sharing this magical early performance and such great quality footage. Entire DD fandom need to see this..they would be in 7th heaven!!!!
Love this❤❤❤❤❤
Qué grandes músicos siendo tan jóvenes 😍
Love this! Great band!
Duranie present! I love This musical band!❤
Sound GREAT and they all look good there, even Andy.
They killed it live!!!! Most can NOT do that! Amazzzing!!!!!!
Perfection, period.
Live and Incredible !!
The most amazing thing is that they were self taught, no instrument lessons.
Linnnnnda!!
1981 , eu tinha 9 anos!!!
Viva Duran Duran!!
Cadê os Brs ouvindo essa música em 2020?
Andy! 🎸👑
I miss his higher octave backing vocals 💕
I agree with you I miss Andy too he is an awesome guitarist he is unrated I want him back
Man, great video 👍👍
Fantastic vid, thanks so much for sharing 😍🥰🤩
look at that crowd !!!.............id be be freakin out !!!
Thought I was the only one who noticed. Poor guys.....probably why they didn’t show Nick’s face because he would’ve been fuming about the brain dead crowd !
@@lisaandrews1430 i'd be shoutin CMON !!
Man; those were truly the days, like free-falling through space, w/ no discernible bottom below....
easily their best song
Great song! Tks for shr
Bass line kicks arse 👍
Awesome....Thank you!!!!
Simon has never been the best vocalist, but oozes cool. Incredible stage presence. Although he has drastically improved. I suppose 40 years of practice helps.
He is a really good singer, in my opinion. When he hits high notes, his voice is huge. He has real quality.
@@Merceauroix I think he's improved over the years.
Fenomenales Duran Duran gracias por compartir con nosotros los fans de Duran Duran este video simón es lindo mi favorito
He one of he best vocalists of 80s, for instance he was among best voices on intro of Do They Know Its Christmas, unique voice. Not very clever comment
@@getsensus I was not trying to be clever. Just gave an opinion, just like you did.
Bellissimo, stupendo con questo look!
I ❤ this song
Baby DD en vivo!!! Por supuesto... Tenían que trascender... 2:46 Mmmcosssita más bella John apenas con 21 añitos, un muñequito!!! Hace ya 40 años de este éxito???... qué maravilla!!! 4:07
Que joven y bello ya se veía simón Duran Duran que sonido
Wonderful!!!
#DURANIEFOREVER 🎉 I FREAKIN LOVE THEM! 🔥🤗 #ANDYTAYLOR ❤
Wow the quality of you're videos here is incredible considering the time! Did you post this whole thing up?
Fantastisk!
Poor Nick, they never put him on camera, except for his hands on the keyboard......
Thats the best part though! Also they seemed to do that back in the day from what I've seen, as the synth player was usually stagnantly anchored between his rig.
Keyboardist hardly get recognition such ashame
It's because he was wearing makeup
Yep , every TV show cameraman hated Nick. It drove me crazy !
They were tight on this performance, audio prerfect
i like rum runner club veirsion better , but this is also great ... fan since 1978! early days i am from Croatia! ;)
Wow !!! And I'm from Ukraine !!!
Wow!!! Great!! Thanks a lot!!
Simooooooo, precioso, belloooo sexi 😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Buena ejecución de la rola 🎶😄
Uhhhh............. is it just me? Or is that venue a formal dinner-type atmosphere? And here comes Duran Duran with their explosive bassist Mr. John Taylor and Simon at lead, just slaying Planet Earth hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!! So ironic and weird and totally awesome!!!!
It is a Swedish tv show, thus tge setting.
Right band. Wrong audience. Soon to be corrected.
And desperate band manager.
thanks for sharing that! i've never seen the full show before, only PE and AOT.
can you tell me what the source was of this? did you rip a VHS or was it re-shown on TV?
also what was the proper running order of the 4 songs? thanks again!!
The source is a digital encoding from the tv-archive.
The order of songs played,
1. Planet Earth
2. Hilarious Interview (not uploaded yet) + Anyone Out There
3. Girls on Film
4. Careless Memories
Cheers!
thanks so much for the fast reply! is 720p the native resolution? i am always looking for the best versions of early duran performances!!
Yes the original source in the archive was 4:3 but the digital encoding is 720p.
is there any other duran duran, power station or arcadia living in that archive? if so, could you please share it!!
I will see what I can find ... :)
Wow! At a dinner theatre! Very posh!
Great performers
Simon looks so fit.
Best fad ever.... New Romantic...
I love that I can see Nick's Crumar being played..
I love this uniform
TOPS my Cat loves this song too,
Duran Duran bravo!
0:16 Nick is so nervous his hands are shaking crazy.
Not really
Duran Duran still. Singing a long in 2023 timeless song Nick Nick have some peony’s 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛🐾🎹🎹🎹
These guys were the great envy of all the men of the time of the 80s
great
❤❤❤❤❤😍😘😘😘
高校生の頃にコピーバンドでベースしてましたがジョンは当たり前のように指弾きだとばかり思ってたので指でコピーしてきつかったんですが、これ見るとピックで弾いてますね。(笑)
Go Andy!
베이스싸운드 쥑이네!!!!
Andy was just a boy here.
I like Simon's headband.
Nick did not want to be seen so he morphed into the keyboard :p
4:19 What is this place? Dinner Theatre?? Tough gig for a dance band.
Haha, I can’t believe the crowd, all just sitting there?
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I thought that also- until his birth date
Gemini very close to my dad's- They-heed warning-Are Smart! Brain is not 1 dimentional- Dad (mine)
worked on Werner Von Braun's rocket to the moon; It got there! That keyboard is his rocket! Yeeeaaah!
uuuuffff
Andy puts me in mind of Eddie Van Halen
And the crowd goes mild!
I always felt that Simon's voice was just over the line in terms of tone and sometimes if he was tired, hungover or on a substance his voice would slip below the tone line. Still looked and sounded good though....
Think this was on their first record. Very young here..lol
thot they wouldn't sound good live cos they were really deemed as shallow pretty boys back then.to me, this is still their best song
