Duran Duran - Rio (From "Rio - Classic Album")
This latest addition to the acclaimed Classic Albums series takes us to the early eighties and the release of Duran Durans second album Rio. Released against a backdrop of riots, record unemployment and the Falklands War this optimistic and celebratory album would generate a string of hit singles and groundbreaking videos and catapult Duran Duran to global stardom. This DVD tells the story behind the writing, recording and subsequent success of the album through newly filmed interviews, musical demonstrations and both new and archive performances.
Moving on the floor now babe you're a bird of paradise
Cherry ice cream smile I suppose it's very nice
With a step to your left and a flick to the right you catch that mirror way out west
You know you're something special and you look like you're the best
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande
I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on TV
Two of a billion stars it means so much to me
Like a birthday or a pretty view
But then I'm sure that you know it's just for you
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande
Hey now woo look at that did she nearly run you down
At the end of the drive the lawmen arrive
You make me feel alive, alive alive
I'll take my chance cause luck is on my side or something
I know what you're thinking I tell you something I know what you're thinking
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twists across a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grand
Her name is Rio she don't need to understand
And I might find her if I'm looking like I can
Oh Rio, Rio hear them shout across the land
From mountains in the north down to the Rio Grande
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do

Yeah. If you notice his playing lept a couple levels after working with Bernard Edwards on the Power Station project. Been a monster ever since.

I remember listening to this. I learned the line on an old Peavey Dyna bass. That was (mumble mumble) years ago...
John Taylor has not lost a single step! He's he best

True, but I think his bass is turned down way too low in this song. It's being drowned out by the keys and lead guitar :(

John's hot!
I'm so glad Roger got back in the band. He's a great drummer and always seemed like kool kind of mellow guy.
John Taylor is great bass player. Amazing groove and feel. I love listening to him.
Of all the 80s bands, Duran Duran has aged the best -- both in sound and appearance.
"Rio"40年経ってもまったく色褪せない名曲揃いの名盤
Um Dois Tres Quatroo!! They are older now but still a blast to watch. It's easy to take for granted that some bands can't play their music raw, without some studio sweetening up but these guys don't got nothing to prove, they can look good in a video and sound just as good, and be entertaining with just their bare instruments and a stage. Amazing, they shoulda did this for their fans back in the 80's.

One of the best groups to see live, without a doubt.
The " belle époque " of the Taylors. Awesome bass line by John , Andy's guitar and a neat Roger behind the drums !

Simon has said that in the past too and I agree wholeheartedly. I also think they need to be in the RRHOF!
I am 40 years old and as a boy this band was innocence and adult at the same time. I would be so lucky if my children can find such a musical icon.
When I started listening to Duran Duran, I mainly listened to the vocals and guitar. Then I started paying attention to John Taylor's bass playing and gained a new appreciation for them. This, obviously, is his magnum opus.
Amazing how they perform after almost three decades.Respect.
やはり肝はROGER TAILORのDRUMですね。タイトで疾走感が半端なく上手い！！
Hope you all realize this is LIVE!! They may be older than most bands but tell me for real...which band now days can play this GOOD????!!! Can't imagine anyone.......Still love you guys!!
Never realized the quality of the bass line until now.
bass, basss, bassss ! Andy Hamilton sax solo is awesome.

Cool. It is great to see Simon, John Taylor, and all the band together again. They were so instrumental in introducing New Romanticism to Rock, in the early 1980's, imo.

I don't intend to sound like a creep, but really...he's not good at all. I love the band, they are amazing and pioneers in modern rock/pop rock. they were a rock band with a synth, not a synth band that played rock, which is part of the cause of their skyrocketing success. Look at how they did wtih Andy...now compare that with Dom Brown....wet noodle! Their other fill was great too, he was far better in Zappa and Missing Persons than in Duran Duran. Andy brought a specific sound that made them who they are.

***** I am not so 'up' on the band as you are, but am as much a fan. Yes, they were huge, and very important, especially circa 1981 - 1983, when MTV commenced, & they put out the album 'Rio', with all their cool videos. They were pathbreakers, let's admit. But who do you think is accountable for their work, the quality? Andy _____ ? {What is his last name?} And what about John Taylor? Did not he compose material? And Taylor with Simon LeBon contributed greatly to the *image* of Duran Duran.

John G. Lewis i just read alot John. I agree, 81-83/84 was a prime time for them. Disco was coming to an end, the clubs needed something new...something to keep the scene moving. they were pioneers in their day. right with the music videos, that were like short films, the styles they created and trends they set. 3 Taylor's in the band Andy, John, Roger. No relation. Simon LeBon and Nick Rhodes. John and Nick started the band, Simon was the last member to join. They all worked and lived at the Rum Runner club and had their start there as the house band. Each were responsible for creating their own parts in the music writing process, as with any band. Andy wrote the guitar work and had creative influence on the rest of the band. He was hired in after replying to an add for a 'live wire' guitar player. He was a rocker and loved metal and hard rock. A lot of his great guitar work is buried under Nick's keyboard tracks. John and Roger would start writing a lot of the songs together, Andy would add guitar tracks, that were usually a bit heavier than what the club scene wanted, but it added to that "sound" they had. Nick and Simon polish up the process with melodies and synth tracks. So what I'm trying to say is this, Dom Brown is not very good in Duran Duran. In this version of Rio, his timing is awful, he's not playing the right chords, and isn't using the right effects. He's a totally different style of guitarist and he's very watered down....it's just.....flat and boring sounding. If you change it back to Andy and his sound...it just completes the band. Takes all 5 to make that "sound" they are known for.

***** With all respect ... I will have to disagree with you... I believe this is a very stylish and well done performance of "Rio", finished with real 'Duranni' flavor...! I liked the lead singing of Simon here, the synth work, Taylor's bass guitar was fine, drums, sax, excellent stage presence by all hands, and additionally, good camera work. All this in keeping of what Duran Duran was, imo. (...) In regards to your point re guitar work: yes, I agree you do have an issue. However, I thought what was done, though different, yes, was in keeping with the spirit of D.D. ... Thank you for all your research !! Btw.. Yes 1981 - spring 1984 was their high point... yet I was a college student at the time, and so familiar with the rise of the band. In the fall of 1982 - spring 1983, I thought that their videos were fairly easily the best on MTV... And you're right, too, (imo) about the transitioning from Disco to a new dance sound, which perhaps Rock was searching for. D.D.'s sound was a combination of New Romanticism in Rock, as it is termed, and which they really in part founded, along with this dance element you speak of. --------------------------------------------------------------- Right, circa 1980 Disco was over... but very quickly MTV would take its place as Rock's new arena: an area of development. ... As you are clearly a fan, I am a little disappointed that you do not like this version of Rio...!? Can you not admit that it was at least spirited ? Actually, I like it so much, I am thinking I will by the album. -- J. G. Lewis
UM, DOIS, TRÊS, QUATRO! Simon is AWESOME!
What an amazing sax solo! Masterpiece.
my favorite band and my favorite hit ... the world would SUCK BIG time without them!!!! and of course John Taylor's bass which is the heart and soul !!
great to see roger. he was my fav during the 80s.
Everytime you listen to this song or watch the video....just pay attention to one man...JOHN TAYLOR !!!
Awesome bass guitar!
D2 are like fine wine. They only get better with age. This is amazing. I saw them live in 2005, and it was the best live show I have EVER seen. Rio was the highlight! Sigh!
They sound great after all these years wow
garage sounds effect..... Excelent performance!! best fricking pop album ever... Agree Amazing version !!!

buena version de una de los mejores temas pop de los 80. realmente un clasico saludos desde chillan-chile
The musicianship of this song is what sold me on Duran Duran back in South Los Angeles. I had the honor of meeting bassist John Taylor in person in Hollywood. My fav tune by DD isthe rarity " Secret Oktober " ( Original ).
espectacular , Duran Duran por siempre
Two of the billion stars, it means so much to me Good vibrations from this video

Very 80th.... Love it!!!
Que tremendo pedazo de cancion...Inmortales Duran Duran
I enjoyed hearing songs from Duran Duran, Rio one if the classic. Love their music.
el tiempo pasa pero Duran Duran es lo maximo!!!Amazing!!
Outstanding performance as always expected from Duran Duran !!!
The classic 80's
Excelent performance!!
I loved it then, I love it now. What a great song, by a great band. I appreciate the quality of the song much more now!
Favourite ever track rio great played live todays bands watch and learn no style or talent thats why everybody still likes the bands of the 80s keep it live 🥂🙂
I used to despise Duran Duran. It's only recently that I've come to discover their talent and relevence in music. I was once a fool. This is an amazing performance
um dois tres quatro! muito bom!
great sax solo 80,s cool roll on,happy people,bring it back,plus the money,loads of money.
i only just heard this song for the first time as a dubstep remix and love it! the guitars and vocals really do it for me. makes me wish i had a peice of the 80's too man.
Just simply Wow!
Amazing version !!!
make me think back to the old days.this is pop in worldclass
Hard to believe this song is knocking on the door of 30 years old.
The very best song from this group, awesome.
I've always preferred to listen to this song live. It has more of an edge. I've always wanted DD to do a hard rock album... which is why I was so looking forward to Reportage.
best fricking pop album ever...
Dancei muita New Wave lá pelos idos de 1984. Duran Duran com certeza fazia parte da melhor trilha sonora.
Just when I think I can't love Simon Le Bon any more than already do: 1. He wears a white shirt (how heart-breakingly handsome is he?) 2. He comes up with the genius idea of counting down "um, dois , três, quatro!" in Portuguese
awesome like always ! my beloved band ! Duranie for ever !
John Taylor on bass. Magic!
Crazy top notch chops from everyone. Didn't know this band had it in them
Adoro Dura duran, Simon lindo, continua lindo!!!!
These guys shows to the blank generation how to do it!! Nice bass, great voice, exactly drumm beat...
Me encanta esta version. Impecables como siempre. Simon....canta divino como siempre....genios!!!!
Uhhhhhh my god. They're amazing. My only qualm - John's bass gets drowned out by the sax, which is a same because it's such an amazing riff. But at least he was looking adorable....
I hope they get in the rock hall next year.
Nice version bringing this tune out of the 80's.....It was great then, and this update turns it into something new, and hot..........
I was born in 1987 but I think this song is so cool.
This made me giggle.
The bass line is sick🔥🔥
one of the best bass lines EVER... !
Great motivation song, I'm still lookin for Rio..............LOL Thanks Duran
a perfect song
i love it so much.
So good to see the old original Crew !!!!
5:15 is my favorite part I like how into it Roger Taylor is And John Taylor is a great bass player And Simon Le Bon sounds like he's having fun Nick Rhodes is great and so are the African American background/backup singer, guitarist, and saxophone player
