Duran Duran - Last Chance on the Stairway - Dublin 7/5/2023

[@chrisklecker]

How do these guys manage to keep a song from their early ages sounding so freaking good? John is nailing it, and Simon isn't showing any wear or tear on his voice.

[@MontagZoso]

I know, it’s stunning! We saw DD in Seattle in May and were blown away!

[@mediaboyz9848]

@@MontagZoso awesome! sure hope they play this when we see them in Vegas later this year!

[@cleiophane2287]

I agree with you... Crazy

[@chrisklecker]

Let's not forget, Simon had his vocal cords damaged some time ago where they honestly didn't think he would be able to sing again. Here he is singing better. What a trooper.

[@Tagaroo2047]

They sound better right now than I have EVER heard them ….ever!

[@hanymgamal]

Them playing this song is a dream come true for me. How they took this long to play it live consistently is beyond me. It is such a good live song

[@mollieleach6639]

I read somewhere that this song is so complex musically that it is hard to play live. Glad they figured it out. I love this song and this was awesome

[@juaniortelli2705]

Every track of Rio should be played live, that album it’s a masterpiece

[@hollywoodcheremonkey]

The bass playing was always cool, but now it’s a behemoth of a landmark DD performance. Who else plays bass likes this?!

[@SayyyyyWhat]

FANTASTIC job of keeping the camera on John, during all his killer BASS lines!!!

[@galenmarick8850]

That bass line............this was me in the 80s!!!!!

[@ricardoacosta5753]

THE BASS ........ 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@MrBeta911]

What an amazing song ❤It’s about time that they play these amazing hits! Love Double D

[@mournblade1066]

This is my absolute favorite Duran Duran song. I'm so glad they played it the "correct" way--in previous concerts they always did a slowed down version.

[@brettsambrook]

On fire. John is just blazing!

[@Gypsy_Soul7]

What a joy to just watch & listen to JT kill it on the bass 🎶🥰✨❤️

[@fatcatscooter2584]

Simon's voice is actually sounding better... amazing! Guess I'll go to that Atlantic City show and make a day of it.

[@lpsglitterpaws8536]

I saw them at BottleRock in Napa earlier this year…fantastic!!! Go see them they are worth it!!!

[@Guapito1973]

What a great song

[@stiofandundealgan1280]

Ah, nostalgia of the 1982 Rio LP (I was 14 yo) ; a great song, even after 41 years ! Thanks guys for that live performance !

[@Mikemaniscalchi101]

One of my all time favorites

[@darrenray1292]

The DD fans freakin LOVE when you play the oldies!! That's why we pay to see you live... in hopes you'll play the songs we love .. Songs from 1979-1987... Faster than light, Late Bar, Fame, Come up see me make me smile... Your MILLIONS of true duranies want MORE of the original New Wave sound you brought to America!! Go back to your roots and have fun making revolutionary music!!! We miss you!!!

[@adribudin9858]

One of my fab! Excellent video! Thank you for sharing

[@SXI96]

They still sound so f'king good, phenomenal band

[@deanmrooms8002]

Easily one of my favourite DD tracks , these guys still sound just as good as they did back in the day , bravo 👏

[@FrankBaumann-cb8nh]

a masterpiece from the gigantic Rio Album. i love Last Chance on the Stairway so much!!!!

[@jenanthony7575]

I can't stop watching this!!! Everyday I get on youtube, I come straight to this video!!! The close up shots of John masterfully handing that bass is everything!! Thanks so much for sharing!!!

[@mediaboyz9848]

same lol

[@Gerardjhughes]

Me too

[@amandakeogh9711]

Are you sober? Masterfully handling a bass? Seriously? Most people don't hear the bass guitar. I was with Duran from the start. You need to read a book

[@jenanthony7575]

@@amandakeogh9711 Excuse me?? You need to open a book, because you make so sense at all. And yes I said MASTERFULLY!!!! and if you were with Duran from that start, you should know this!!! You also need to clean out your ears, because Duran Duran is ALL ABOUT the bass. Is this Amanda DeCadenet?? lol

[@amandakeogh9711]

@@jenanthony7575 "Duran is AlL about the BASS". Has your spaceship not collected you yet?

[@DaftSwank]

Replacing the marimba solo with a sax one on this live performance is a really nice touch. Simon Willescroft is wonderful sax man!!

[@djmylesmatisse]

So brilliant that they included saxophone here unlike the album version.

[@woksrandomchannel]

John is so, so good at the bass. That's an insanely difficult piece.

[@Vlad65WFPReviews]

Duran's astounding catalogue is so over-packed that this groove-laden wonder had been laid aside for far too along. Very clean and crisp sound here, something you don't get at all venues. Excellent!

[@brettgustin9471]

Their 80s stuff was special.

[@Vlad65WFPReviews]

@@brettgustin9471 Of course, but their ability to craft great new songs still continues - a little different, naturally, but still very "Duran". The Future Past album is packed with great songs - it is amazing what Nick, Simon and the guys keep doing.

[@MrDrum1969]

The sound in the 3arena in Dublin is excellent

[@ninakivisto2706]

❤ this song ❤ and JT 🎸🔥❤

[@markcassidy3994]

That bass

[@kuzbaxkarinderya]

What. A. GEM! Thanks heaps for this rockin vid. Solid aim at John Taylor nailing that absolute belter of a baseline! And the Duran Duran lads still executing this rare gorgeous new wave classic, Last Chance on the Stairway, to utter perfection AND LIVE forty years later!

[@RMFeminine4TheWin]

*THANX A MILLION DD FOR KEEPING YOUR INSTRUMENTS IN TIP TOP SHAPE!!! **#LOVESIT* 🎤🎹🎸🥁🎷🥰

[@condereims]

Those were the days..the 80's... and they are still alive with Duran Eternal Duran !!!!!

[@vitek924]

These guys floats in music!!!! No matter the years that passes by :-)

that rio album was just incredible

Sounds as good as ever. Nostalgia rush!

[@joebrown9586]

Was there 😊

[@shandanaa.durrani131]

This is my all-time fave DD song, including bsides. I was thinking of hitting the Dublin show but passed. Thank you for sharing such a clear video with the new Rio bass on display! So happy they played the full song with my fave Si lyrics! Hope they bring this into the fold should they come to Europe *coughBerlincough* later this year!

[@user-xy5ez5wd1v]

probably the greatest treasure in the music history had evolved so much better with time it sounds so much more lively than the cd's

[@ellenm9053]

Roger and John are amazing. That base line wow!

[@jjlebon6798]

Your song is their DD appreciation day gift to us

[@Tagaroo2047]

I’m loving JTs New Romantic throw back shirt. Thanks for posting ❤

Just saw these guys in Sacramento on Thursday. Awesome show. This is the only song I wish they would've sung that they didn't.

[@janismlafreniere9572]

I thought this was the Bowl, we saw them a couple weeks later. Great show- 39 shows now.

[@edreams11]

DD, can you play those "deep cuts" when you come back here in LA?!!! Please, please, please!

[@jenanthony7575]

Super bummed they haven't played this beautiful gem at any of the US venues so far 😞

[@brettgustin9471]

That’s a shame. I Might go see them Based on this song alone.

[@mediaboyz9848]

sure hope they do will find out in August when we see them in Vegas ;)

[@brettgustin9471]

I wouldn’t mind them swapping out hungry like the wolf for this or play the night version of hungry.

[@hippychickshannong3884]

Thanks for posting

[@amandakeogh9711]

I still have the tape recorded from the radio of their Glasgow Apollo concert in 1981. This song played them was superb. Why the backing singers are silent I don't know. A let down for a powerful song.

[@derekwillow4425]

😊

[@tito1807]

interesting song :)

[@Drlongley324]

Why did they take this and invisible off the setlist for the US tour?

[@Ingens_Scherz]

This is still my favourite song. Don't know why. I think it has something to do with a girl I used to know back then ;)

[@jjlebon6798]

Wow what camera did you use. It’s spectacular

[@katemarr1984]

Play that f**king bass John!!!

[@stevejelly3161]

I guess in a way Simon Cowell did music a favour !!!....( ok there's loads of "oooo's and rrrr's" ) . However it thrusts this band BACK after 40 years 🙂

[@keepingup2952]

Who's playing guitar here? That's not Andy, is it?

[@MrDrum1969]

Dom Brown , Andy left in 2006
