Duran Duran were the number 1 band in the world, at that time. They released almost back to back killers songs (Rio, Save A Prayer, Hungry Like The Wolf, Is There Something I Should Know?, The Reflex, New Moon On Monday, The Chauffeur, Wild Boys, A View To A Kill), so they dominated world charts everywhere. They were so immensly popular that theyr performance was simoultaneusly broadcasted in prime time both from MTV and ABC.

Anyone notice that none of them are wearing hearing protection? For anyone who knows the bands history, this concert was put together at the last minute, that is, not playing together for a year, flying in and having little time to practice. The feedback ..high squeal noises.... happened in many stadiums with performers. With that large of a crowd, it would knock anyone off key. I think considering the circumstances, this was a great concert. They may have felt more at home at wembley stadium, but they were a young band, touring constantly, 3 albums, and the stress shows. John had a drug problem, Andy partied, and Roger quit shortly after this concert. It was an honor just to play. Here we are, 33 years later, .....who is still making new music, alive, from live aid? I watched live, and I didn’t care. I was home, but those who 💩 on Duran Duran because of this, or define them because of this? You don’t know Duran Duran.

Demasiado buena.su presentacion A pesar de ser en vivo.sobbre todo su manejo vocal.buen timbre.buema brivacion.se apoya muy bien en la guitarra.muy segura.esta claro.que los companeros de musical.solo tienen que seguirla.es raro encontrar una cantante con tanto talento.generalmente eso se ve en los varones.de grupos electronicos.gracias por saber mostrar su musica en vivo.generalmente la mayoria se pierde en los detalles.muy comprometida con su musica.tiene pocas canciones de oreja.pero es muy agradable escucharla y verla en vivo.un rock sano y limpio.con hermosos acordes y buena armonia.esperando que mantenga su estilo.rock pop bailable y para escuchar.

The whole performance in itself wasn't so bad, but it was obvious that they couldn't stand each other any more and the band was...broken...Maybe that was a necessary step to have them now in their maximum shape. Long Life to Duran Duran. God save the Kings ❤️❤️❤️

back in the 80s, all my schoolmates listened to metal bands at that time. I didn't really give a damn. And although I felt their looks and their judgment towards me for listening to Duran Duran and on top of that, having my folder full of photos of the band. I appreciate having the courage to enjoy it at a time when being just a little bit different was reason enough to be bullied.

It's all about expectations. Duran Duran was the #1 rock band in the world at the time - "View to a Kill" was #1 in just about every country. There was a LOT of pressure on them to be perfect, but let's be real: they hadn't played together in 18 months, they were all sick of each other, Roger didn't even want to do it anymore, and John and Andy were very likely high as kites during this performance. Add to that there was no sound check and the general mayhem of the day, and yeah, you get something that isn't as tight as it should have been. But like you, I thought the performance was fine for what it was. Many acts were worse. If you don't believe me, go watch Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's performance. Every single one of them was off-key and David Crosby was so drugged out he didn't even move. It was awful.

Don't get me wrong. I like Duran Duran but this performance compared to what they did at Maple Leaf Gardens the year before? The Maple Leaf Gardens show was vastly superior. This performance it seemed like they weren't even trying.

They all said they hated this performance, they couldn’t hear anything they were doing, because they had no monitors, they hadn’t played together in a year and they barely practiced, half the band went one way and did a side projects he other half went another way and did a side project, John Taylor was addicted to coke. This is the sound of the biggest band of the early 80’s falling apart.
