John Taylor is total beast mode on bass. It's his beautiful rock solid timing and syncopation with always hitting the root note on the one beat. It's just the driving force behind all their music.

[@scott83074]

Yup. Should get more props

[@playbassken]

He certainly is and love that tone. It is so thick in the mids.

[@MeltedMath]

A beautiful beautiful man. Favorite bass player of the 80s for sure.

[@jotade2098]

bass in Hold back the Rain is one of the best ever, and John Taylor is master true

[@MrAKbass]

@@playbassken Yes, the thickness in the mids is what it gives that bass it's character. Nowadays most bassplayers have a lot of lows and highs but no mids...Btw. I do own an Aria SB-700 which is the model that John used on their first EP. It has that thick growly tone!

[@johngold1849]

This is why we love the 80s. These guys were not just pretty boys but could really play and write great songs. A good measure of a band is how they sound live as apposed to the album. This sounds like the track. Great stuff.

[@El-cj3dd]

Yes !! and th 80’s were th best time to b alive !!

[@sfuterfas]

Watching this a few days after DD were finally inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I was 12 when they did this concert. I was lucky enough that my parents let me see them in '84 when I was 14. My first concert ever and I'll never forget how magical it was. Such electricity. They're still so amazing live, even 40 years later. So lucky to have grown up with DD. So glad they are finally getting the accolades they deserve. What a fabulous band.

[@longfade]

I'm so thankful that I was 13 years old in 1982 and had the chance to experience all of that great music in real time, with each great record release from Duran Duran, Thomas Dolby, Wall of Voodoo, Gary Numan, etc. It was a wonderful time of musical discovery. Now that I'm 50, I find it painful how the music industry has degenerated to such a degree that I'm watching a 40-year-old video that's 100 times more interesting than anything I've heard in ages.

[@monicaspector2388]

You can say that again!!! We are truly blessed to have experienced first-hand, the music of the 80's.

[@val13c59]

I too was 13 in 1982. I think our age was perfect timing to enter into our Teens for the 80s decade. And then the 90s we evolve into young adults. And in the 2000, the right age to complain about the new crap music.

Roger Taylor, most underrated drummer ever. Solid rhythm always and precision. His skill is way above many of the thrash metal and harder rock genre drummers who just bang away loudly to get attention. Great drummer and all around cool guy.

[@borgullet3376]

ABSOLUTELY ! The rhythm section of Roger and John ! They both played with the dexterity of Fusion musicians with out EVER stepping on each others toes, or any one else's in that band. Bad Cats for Sure !

[@brianjezuit4085]

I've always said that Roger Taylor iZ one of the worldZ great, great drummers. Highly underrated... I mean, granted he did get featured in many of the drumming magazines over the years, but I feel that heZ often overlooked. HiZ timekeeping iZ so freaking solid!

[@theintrepidindependent4092]

Best Bassist in the music industry!!

[@deepakrama]

Totally Agree! I can never understand how most critics skip over John Taylor when talking about great bass players. They were heavily influenced by bands like Chic (you can tell with the bass) and of course kept working with Nile Rodgers. I have seen them live many times and they are always an amazing show. One of my favorite bands of all time.

[@Torgo1969]

@@deepakrama Yes. The interplay between John Taylor and the guitarist on Rio reminds me of Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson of Rush. I love bands that feature a prominent bass.

This was also before low wattage LED lighting too. Those can lights back in the day were HOT. Like, cook your skin if you touched them hot. That is why they were always sweating so much on stage back then.

[@derekbaker3279]

There was an analogue version of simple auto-tune back then, as well as very effective de-essing, compression, and most effects that are available today. I would think that, by this point, Duran Duran had made enough money to afford those sorts of rack effects and/or the venue had them. Regarding this video, there is plenty of software capable of auto-tuning instruments and vocals, correcting timing errors, de-essing, etc even with final stereo mixes (look up "Melodyne"), and a lot of it can be done quite subtlely. I'm not saying that it was done here, but it could have been. (my gut says it was...it's a little too perfect for even the best live bands...Simon's singing actually sounds better than it did on their debut album IMHO, so either he mastered the art further by being on tour, or...???....but I could be wrong....)

[@sprungtols]

John Taylor with awesome bass. I still think your bass part is one of the best ever

[@saltykrug]

Man these guys are fucking awesome players. I can't believe how good they sound live. Just crazy good. You can tell they played a lot to get where they are. Bass lines are crazy. Drums solid. Guitars are making the songs so much better and great backing vocals. Keyboards are very unique. Simon's voice is fuckin strong and just like the album.

[@morkygorky]

just a shame about Le Bon's voice - their songs were great but the squealing vocals..... tsk tsk

[@needahandle]

@@morkygorky Simon's voice, like it or not, is iconic to the DD sound. It has pleading quality to it that is endearing to this fan and many others and no one else sounds like him. There are some DD songs I can't see anyone else doing justice as he owns them vocally. I will say that there are a few DD songs that I would have liked to hear with Andy's voice more out front (Careless Memory comes to mind) or maybe have Andy switch off in terms of leading vocals with Simon on a few songs to add a different flavor. Andy's early solo career showed off his voice more and IMO he had good enough vocals for this too have seriously been considered on a few tracks. His backing vocals added nicely to DD songs as it stands

[@morkygorky]

@@needahandle I must admit that Simon Le Bons singing is better NOW than it ever was! - Shame John Taylor isn't singing, I liked his 7" for "Nine and a half Shades of Grey".....

Hope you are doing well. I’m going tonight to the United Center for their concert 8/20/2022. Had tickets back in ‘87, 10th row, Milwuakee, WI. Fast forward 35 years later 🎶🎤🎹🎸🥁

That bass is legit

[@SNORKYMEDIA]

Should be, Bernard Edwards of chic invented it and taught it to him

[@karmatrain3853]

@SNORKYMEDIA John was self taught BUT he's more proficient player than anyone who learned formally that's one of many things that so genius about John. He wrote all his basslines and the music himself long before duran was signed by EMI. Bernard hadnt even met with John yet, or involved in the making of any duran's albums.

Rio has such a busy and addicting bass line. The muted notes he doesn't hit are just as important than the ones that ring out

[@mjh5437]

Yeah,just love the way he tickles them!!

[@andreamariterickson5885]

The play on words is fun- Rio means river, Rio spelled with an accent over the "o" means she laughed (in the past tense, not the past perfect tense), and Rio is the name of the girl the song is about. "Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand. Just like that River twisting through a dusty land." When my high school Spanish class had to chose names from a list of common names used by Spanish speakers, I chose Rio- a name not on the list. My teacher allowed it only if I put an accent over the "i" so as not to confuse it with river or she laughs. · Reply · 44m My all time fav song.

[@denuurodriguez2492]

@@andreamariterickson5885 Great analysis! The only wrong thing is that "Río", with the accent (tilde) actually means river. Greetings from Argentina :)

Love this ... saw them in July and August of 1982 as part of this same tour. The energy and attention to detail was great. They really should play more from these two albums in today's sets. Saw them July 13, 2016 in Toronto ... good show, but left too many songs from these first two albums off the set. New Religion, Hold Back the Rain, Careless Memories, Friend's of Mine, Is there Anyone Out There, etc.

I can't put into words my excitement for this video. I was a 12-year old 7th grader sitting in my bedroom in Fontana, CA listening to this cassette on a Sony Walkman that my Stepdad won from a Copier convention he attended(he worked for Savin Copiers), and gave to me while this beautiful party was just a hour, and a half away in Hollywood, CA. It was my first cassette I ever bought. Changed my life. I still want to meet these guys some day. I was too young, and have since been to a couple shows here, but nothing like this. Life is so weird that true fans often miss out on such experiences......I was one of a few Black Kids that wore their shirts, and pins to school religiously enduring funny looks from other black kids, but still not caring, because this music talked to me for some reason that I still can't explain today.....I totally had a similar muscle shirt with Japanese symbol that Simon is wearing(in maroon)......I will never regret these days. They called it the 2nd British Invasion, and compared them to the Beatles, and they were all over the news this night......I think a couple radio stations broadcasted this performance live if I remember correctly.................

How could anyone have called them a boyband? Fascinating to see them play this gig. Great musicians that get overlooked way too often. Their sound was so much more original and creative compared to the usual rock bands that were big at the time. Simons dancing hasn’t improved much though ha

[@michaelolz]

They didn’t get any respect from the “true musicians” because they were a dance rock band and were “pretty boys with cool hair.” The story’s different today, though. People are waking up to what the fans have always known. Dx2 are an amazing group of talented musicians.
