I was lucky enough to have seen one of the Hammersmith shows all those years ago. I'd seen them at the back end of 81 with the band Talk Talk in support too. Talk Talk were fabulous and I bought their debut single that following summer. I think either Steve Harley made an appearance at the Duran shows or they played one of his songs from memory. I also recall we followed them out of the gig in my little mini to the hotel they stayed in. I don't remember how we did this. Maybe I sat outside in my car and followed their Range Rovers, The hotel was the Royal Garden in Kensington. You couldn't do this nowadays but we parked up, got out and watched them exit their transport and walk into the hotel. The things you do when you are 18!

I was 15 when they showed this on TV, in England. I was home sick from school and I was lucky to have a spare VHS tape to record this amazing concert. Over the years, my sister and I must have watched it hundreds of times!
