Was anyone out there actually there? Please please tell me now!! Duranie for life!! I'm 46 but saw this and made mum and dad record for me on VHS when I was 8!! Had posters, tee shirts, badges! This band was so ahead of their time! Love this live version, it has balls!

I loves me some 80's Duran Duran!!! So talented. Still are. 💞💕💞💕

That bass line is funky!! Love it!!

After being a Duran Duran fan since their debut back in the early 80's, I FINALLY got to see them in Detroit in 2023!! Incredible!! Well worth the road trip from Nova Scotia!

Also, one of the greatest bass lines ever!

I LOVE this song. John Taylor has the best bass line here...it's PERFECT!!!!!!!

The energy at this concert was just un- f!@#$%ng believable! I wish I was there for that.

As a bass player myself, I have to give John Taylor props. Incredible bass player.

Zoe Lewis indeed, dear Zoe. Indeed. In fact he was kinda my motivation to start with the bass.

@@Franck_Major_X I am not a bass player; just playing guitar for fun Indeed John is one of the greatest; Always fun to hear him and Duran Duran rocks

When this concert aired on Cinemax, I had a Duran theme sleep over where all my best girl firends spent the night after watching the concert. Gave away buttons (you know the kind that were so popular back in the 80's that we wore on our jean jackets). It was so much fun. To this day, they still make me giggle like a teeny-bopper, lol.

A lot of people don't realise that this band were huge back then, world wide

Wow, look at the crowd. They´re like "wow, i never seen something that cool in my whole life". And Simon was in a good shape while dancing, i didn´t know that. And the whole band always have a great stage presence. I´m really impressed.

What a great live band!

Absolutely 80's was marked by Duran Duran 💥😎💥

The future Oracle Arena. I was sixteen and the tickets were $18, but my parents would not let me go to see them at the Oakland Arena. I had to hear about at high school from people who went.

My love!!!Duran Duran the best Band over the world❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥👑👑👑👑👑

this song has the best intro in da music history!! the bass is brillaint

So good it’s ridiculous. The music was genius. Lyrics were pure artwork. Sexiest men alive. This whole experience was a gift from the Gods.

I wish I could play the bass like that, What an inspiration Duran Duran is!

I remember watching this on MTV, aged 14, with my brother and realizing I really liked Duran Duran.

Completely excellent take on this song, so revved up! Wonder where Nick was…

I saw them this past April (for the very 1st time) and will see them in October! Dare I say they are even sexier now than they were back in the 80's!! They sounded amazing and put on the best concert I have ever seen!!! God I can't wait for Oct 28th

WalterSobchak1000, you hit the nail right on the head. Even though there have been so many great bass players over the years including Mark King of Level 42 and Steve Harris of Iron Maiden, John Taylor is indeed the king of bass players. His bass playing throughout the 1984 American tour and Duran Duran's live performance of "Hold Back The Rain" are just 2 classic examples.

john taylor is definitely the most underrated bass player. people overlook his talent just because he is a pretty boy so they think he cant play or else they more interested on his look than his talent.

have always loved this version of "got" still love it all these years later! have been a fan for over 30 years! :-)

A life long metal fan but in the 80’s first band I got into was Duran Duran. Absolutely superb band,this gig is awesome,you can see where U2 got all there ideas from with Zoo TV and all that.

I was 15 when I watched this on MTV. That roller derby scene was like porn to me!

thank you for posting this

da placer escuchar a duran duran de 1984, una pena que cambiaron estilo, me gustaba ese toque de rock de ANDY TAYLOR, GRACIAS POR SU POP ROCK ...

I STILL have my ticket stubs for this concert and the one the day before. Ahhhh, to have been 13 and paid ONLY $12.50 to see them.

Omg i love this song! It's so catchy!!

Wonderful!

Fantastico, i have been a Duran Duran fan since i first heard about them, and that was 1982...they are still Great in 2012

Hearing and seeing this version as an adolescent was like finding religion. Energy, passion and innovation. Each member brings something unique to the table. Nick in my opinion is the the innovator. Each plays his instrument well but Nick adds the right effects at right time to distinguish the song. He is sort of the Beatles’ George Martin in that he adds a “finished’ sound to each song,

I just love this video, have watched it sooooo many times. I have a bootleg of this on DVD because my Dad taped over the original in 1984. I cried for days.. ;-) Sooo much energy and what great guitars and bass. Wow

What a time to live! I love the 80s! Duran Duran are awesome! I've seen them twice!

1984, that;s their best year man!!! Check out John Taylors bass- line!!!!

Simon, SIMON, S I M O N!!!! There is a GOD! I believe! I really, really, believe! Thanks for posting!

this is badass.

My GOD JT is one fine man!

Brutal live energy these guys. They could have been the biggest band ever...

wish i was @ that concert :(, great live track :D!!!

Wonderful time capsule at the peak of Duran Duran - I was at this concert when the tour came through Toronto, awesome show. I can guarantee some of this video footage here is from that Toronto show, because two of my high school friends are shown dancing in the stands. Duran also reused some of it for their official "live" video of The Reflex.

bassgasm 😊

wow, this was in the days when boys werent afraid of singin along with every1 else in a concert lol...clauzinhaa i feel ur pain, i was born in '91 so i missed all of the 80s!

@FabHckyBbe AWESOME!! I have seen this a thousand times since the 80's and always envied every person at that concert and always wondered if the people who got on camera are still die hard Duranies to this day!! LUCKY YOU!!

A lot of lads got dragged to DD concerts by thier girlfriends and they often came home pleasantly surprised, because they weren't just a bunch of pretty boys. They could actually play thier instruments and very well.

i meant they could still be the biggest band TODAY

Compared to 1000`s of todays hit bands Duran are amazing. And i saw a fairly number of acoustic concerts already .

Wow 👍🏼😍

Very coo!!!

My good friend Sarah Toner was the girl who skated between Simons legs in the rollerskating video !

The guy at 2:21 is one of the happiest guys I've ever seen.

few months ago I found their live concert at Madison Square Garden show its got all the good under rated tunes :)

Just listened to Duran play live on KZread directed by David Lynch (3/24/11).. and missed Andy and REAL guitar playing so much, I had to run here and listen to this song!! Andy-- please return.. pleassseeee~~

yeah, this band wouldnt be where it is without John taylor, andy taylor too. good rhythm section for 80's pop new wave

love girls on film ;)

Love this version love duren duran love taylors

Your right on there on that statment! Awsome!

Muah..muah,so lovely!

Duran Duran was my first concert. 4/5/84 at the meadowlands.

as the lights go down Omg. Listening to this on coke. It’s amazeBallz!!!! bassgasm 😊 me too!come on time travel!!

@luciob1 You lucky duck, I am envious, lol. I had just discovered DD during the time they were touring, and missed them when they came to my city. It wasn't until 1999, missing a few of the original band members, that I got to see them in concert, but it was a right of passage at that point, for me. lol Side note: The woman SImon LeBon dated for a couple years, off and on, during the epic 1984-85 tour, was Candian model Claire Stansfield. Simon met his wife, model Yasmin Parvaneh, later in 1985

hot hot hot, all hot, terribly hot.

I remember watching this on Cinemax (it's the reason I got Cinemax in the first place!) They need to release this on DVD....my VHS has about had it, I've played it so much since '84!

as the lights go down

At the 84 concert the song went on for twenty minutes, between all the introductions to the band members and everyone getting a solo. So nice edit of about 10 minutes.

me too!come on time travel!!

wish i had had old enuff to attend this show unfortunately i was only 8...:( awesum!!!

Duran Duran meeting :)

@FabHckyBbe Very cool!! .I have only seen them 3 times over the years!! But they were the BEST concerts I have EVER been to. My first one was in Philly in 1993, and I will NEVER forget anything about that magical night!! The last one I been to was 2005, when they all reunited again!! AMAZING! Simon was next to me in my aisle and still looked so young and AMAZING after all those years!!

Oh! I love them so much!!!!!!!!!
