"Serious" is my favorite DD song. I don't understand why it wasn't more popular.

[@maj6129]

because many dickheads are listening to justin bieber

[@sandroschiavi6598]

because it had something sophisticated and elegant in it...special frequencies not for too many to capture

[@absoluteacw]

I can recall people back in the 1980s calling Duran names and saying how poor their music was, too teeny bop! Comes full circle.

[@ryanbrown3004]

Absolutely!

[@TheSason666]

For me also it's undisputed masterpiece!!!

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

Best song on the album.

[@bjfcmorphil]

One of their best songs and this is an amazing performance. Liberty was a fantastic Album!!

GOD Simon sounds fflawless here...they all do but he is shining here!

[@resa.walters]

Yes, I think Simon is right. To me John is so perfect! ❤️

[@tendraftsdeep]

[@johnrappaport3105]

I've never seen the first version!!! Thank you

[@joeharris8131]

Great song

[@gerald4133]

I like this and their Classics. It seems when they try to get away from being DD they get away from who the band os. Alot of ppl love their Classics. 🐅 a tiger can't nor should it change it's stripes. Lol best wishes and Thank you for years of great music Simon and band.

Bands all feel the pressure to change the music as they age. Their earlier stuff had lots of energy - when they had lots of energy. Things change!

❤

[@igornegovelov8854]

this version fits well as backing track for lead guitar :)

[@JOHNNYSGIRL1960]

Yep. John is perfection!

[@malbertohdzslz]

please upload the Bowie's cover: "TVC 15", from this show

[@DS-ip3yt]

Genius

[@giannitoscano9272]

E stupenda..

[@JOHNNYSGIRL1960]

Why does it seem Warren was running the show here? John should have still been the musical director. It's always been his band not Warren's band...

[@moparman5058]

I just read his wiki and man the guy writes about his duran duran years like he is the one who kept them together all these years lol. I think their is def. Some big ego on his part.

Andy Gangadeen locked in to the T.

[@janperinaj4423]

Ako som mohol počúvať Depeche Mode?!

[@peterlaurincik589]

Úplne normálne. Aj DM aj DD boli total super.. a DD este stale su :-).

[@DanielMartinez-fi5hl]

There was no very good willings beetween the boys those days...

[@ryuzakikun96]

What?

[@JTforeverL]

@@ryuzakikun96 He meant to say they were not getting along or not on the same page

[@resa.walters]

How'd you know? You wouldn't. Dang, fans think the know these guys so well or something. Sure I'd like to be a fly on the wall and know all about them too, but the chances of that is like ZERO. Too bad.

Reworking the vocal arrangement & adding the keyboards towards the end truly elevated this overlooked song
