I saw this tour live. Maybe 5th row.

These guys were in their mid-20s here, if that. To put a group together in their teens, master their instruments, master songwriting and the recording process and put a show on the road selling out stadiums all over the world... these fellas were well above the average human being.

One thing I don't quite comprehend... their song-writing used to be so very brilliant, powerful & touching(for the first 3 studio albums plus all the singles). And it seems that they couldn't surpass it afterwards...... (The "Astronauts" album is an exception.)

@@mattma96 Astronaut is no exception. And you are correct. The lyrics used to be very convoluted and deep. And it's not just the lyrics. Where are the many layers of instruments? The funky bass? The haunting and/or rock guitar? The cool experimental synth? It's all gone. Even without those ingredients they sometimes manage to create a good song like "Salt in the rainbow" but it still lacks that classic Duran Duran sound.

Their music is timeless for me. And despite listening to a song for the thousandth time over the years since 1984, they are still as fresh as if they had come out just yesterday. My favorite group is Duran Duran. And I say that proudly. Thank you for the music, guys.

As The Lights Go Down is still the best concert video ever produced…and this song was the star of that show - this song. It’s what made me a lifelong fan of Duran Duran - from 1984 till now.

Since the Corona Virus Quarantine(someone May read this yrs later, so I included it), I’ve immersed myself to the BEST Decade.. The 80’s!! This song was underrated, & one of my favorites.

Behind these FIVE beautiful faces comes real & brilliant music talent. It's pretty amazing how Andy makes his guitar scream like a dolphin in this live performance of "The 7th Stranger"... and John's fretless bass playing is so impressive...... It's always said that music in Major key usually gives a happy vibe, however, it doesn't apply to "The 7th Stranger"......

This brings back so many memories

"ARENA" FOREVER "DURAN DURAN"

Jennifer Connelly makes one of her earliest appearances here. While in Britain, she'd appeared in an episode of "Tales of the Unexpected" (1982) and followed this with a bit in the video for Duran Duran's "The Union of the Snake". She had been working in her first film at the time, Sergio Leone's "Once Upon a Time in America" (1984), which was her feature debut. The film "Phenomena" followed and then this appearance here. She appears in the video at 0:09-0:17, 0:38-0:46, 1:14-1:20, 1:47-1:50, 1:51-1:55, and then is out until way late at 4:33-4:42.
