Hard to believe this song is 40 years old... FORTY YEARS! To put that into perspective... when this song came out in 1981, 40 years ago would have been 1941!! How different the music was from '41 to '81, and yet how modern this 1981 song sounds in 2021!

Exactly!! I was just going to make a similar comment. Music from the 1930's, 1940's and 1950's didn't remain popular and get radio airplay in the 70''s, 80's, 90's and beyond. However much of mid to late 1970's music, almost all of 1980's music still gets played today. And younger generations love it. 80's music retains its sound and vibe without sounding dated. And then when you hear these songs played live.... absolutely timeless.

Well pointed out! We have to be thankful that music has not changed so dramatically in this last 40-year period compared to the previous 40-years, and that these masterpieces of the 70s and 80s are as relevant as ever and far superior in production quality, rhythm, and performance than any of the shit that we get these days by most of the modern "artists."

Awesome video! Great performance by Simon, Andy, and John! They're on fire! This is why I became a fan and they were their best back then when they rocked out!

STILL, Duran Duran's "rockiest" song.

I remember one afternoon arriving at home with a friend of mine when I was twelve and my sister was watching the Sing blue silver documentary and he told her "Oh, Duran Duran. I heard that their live shows are amazing", and she put Careless memories on and he loved it.

I was a Duranie in NY back in the day and when the came to MSG, I didn’t go because I just didn’t anticipate that they would be a very good live band. I was content to watch their videos and listen to their records. Two of my friends went to see this show at MSG, and I asked them how it was and they both said “best live show I’ve ever seen in my life.” I was shocked because these were people who had seem some of the biggest names of the day, including Prince. I’ve regretted never seeing them live ever since. Maybe someday..

this live version totally kicks ass!

ANYWAY...THE MOST STUNNING VERSION EVER!!

I just got round to reading JTs autobiography mand now I am watching this, wondering how much coke he had inside his head when he was doing this. He certainly looks to be having the time of his life. Bless you, John. You know we all love you.
