DURAN DURAN - Hyde Park London - 10 July 2022

DURAN DURAN concert closing the 2022 British Summer Time Festival in London #BST #simonlebon

[@JudithARobinson]

Many years ago, Smash Hits magazine published a letter I wrote about Duran Duran. People had been saying they were a throwaway band who wouldn't last. I stood up for them and said they were here to stay. 40 years later and I think the critics have definitely been proven wrong! 15 year old me would be so happy to see this😊

[@garethwilkinson3456]

Good work Judith. Remember when names like your's (please correct me) were the norm.

[@GeorgeTel100]

I think the problem was a little different... DD was saying that in some aspects they were already bigger than the Beatles and the best was still to me, and the media was going all along with that. That was the problem imho. I think even you would admit that they are not bigger today than the Beatles by any stretch of imagination. I would even argue that they not even as big as Van Halen (not a fan of) remains today

[@newyorkrovers]

🤣🤣🤣🤣....smash hits ya say ? Basically a pop teeny bopper magazine for children under the age of 12 with no musical knowledge other than the rubbish it published ! In reality it was more than likely some lone spandue ballet fan that said that and not the music world in general like your indicating...I mean it wasn't exactly the NME by any stretch of the imagination was it ?....nice try Judith alas another throwaway comment 😂😂😂😂😂😂

The 80's were great. So many great bands, singers, styles. God, I miss those days!

[@BlueHopi144]

don't miss them , just live them again

[@cindysousa133]

Tell me about it

[@Manisha-K-Patel]

Growing up in the 80's was a special time. Duran Duran still killing it. Take me back to the 80's anyday. Music was off the scale back then. Great singers, bands, fashion - it was everything.

[@historychick5947]

So so true

[@Judith.13.]

Every kind of style was allowed then👌🏻🥰

[@nigelgoodwin5094]

So true! I was a New Romantic back then. Numan and Depeche Mode my fave bands!

[@garethwilkinson3456]

I'm a bit young, but I agree.

[@scottbrandon6244]

Does anyone remember how many good records were released each week back in the 1980s? You might get two decent releases per month in 2022.

[@kirstencurley8274]

I traveled from Chicago to see this show. It was AMAZING

[@BlueHopi144]

Simon's voice is outstanding 40 years later .....so many of their top 20 songs are still a delight on stage . Amazed !!

[@fotoarttoo]

I was there, it was a beautiful, music filled evening....

[@thebroadripplepianostudio9743]

I was at this concert. The sound system was outstanding, the stage lights dazzling, and Simon's voice is spot on. Nile Rogers and Chic tore it up as well. Thank you for posting this video. I will always remember this concert.

[@willmchale3001]

I saw them at Red Rocks in CO a few years ago with Chic - your summary is spot on. Maybe the best all-around concert experience I've ever had.

[@davidsilvester6465]

Me too

[@ZumaDogg]

Simon's voice held up better than any of the other 80s singers I know of. Anyone hear Jon Bon Jovi this tour? Axl is done, too. I know, you'll say hard rock is harder to sing; but LeBon's voice could have just as easily bit the dust, too. Duran Duran defines an 80s band. It was an all new sound. LeBon's energy is off the hook. He's 63. Unprecedented. John Taylor=most underrated bass player, ever. Stunning musicianship. Amazing band performance in 2022 for an 80s band. I think they win.

[@anthonytaylor7928]

How is he underrated and hes played on hit records and now in the rock and roll hall of fame and why do folks use the word underrated on KZbin so darn much it's Soo stupid

[@ZumaDogg]

@@anthonytaylor7928 because when people mention great bass players and lists of top bass players are made John's name doesn't come up. Undermentioned is more accurate than underrated. Please don't follow up with a reply. I answered your question and am not interested in a debate.

[@BlueHopi144]

u are right , great observations Zuma . Simon's voice is astonishingly good , crisp , precise with the correct tones .

[@newcolony4013]

@@anthonytaylor7928 👍👍I agree completely with you AT, he tops loads of top bassist polls and you tube is rammed with bassists in awe of his musicianship. He’s rated as one of the top rock bassists ever. Which he is.

[@chocolatechipkookie3439]

I think Simon sounds better now.

[@davidwinson363]

I grew up in Pinner and knew Simon from end of first School and had the pleasure of working with his lovely mother as a young man and her vitality no doubt had a strong effect on Simon's character who obviously has a zest for life and still performing in great voice. Respect from here.

[@horrorgames420]

Was there, They were amazing, One of the best concerts I've ever been to.

[@Catmmad]

I saw them in Rock in Rio in Lisbon last month for the first time ever. I screamed and sang like a teenager, no shame!

[@merledoughty5787]

So proud of my son who was Simon,s specialist when he had his surgery recently. Simon txted him to see if he would like two tickets to this show and afterwards some social back stage get together. Sadly he could not make the after reception due to an early start next day, . He said Simon was a great patient and got on well with him and they enjoyed the concert

[@lobotomy007]

Didn't know he had health issues recently

[@merledoughty5787]

@@lobotomy007 no it was something I understand from an accident some years ago

[@sangertx9077]

I dig it! Real musicians and real vocalists playing and singing live music, for real…I didn’t think that happened anymore. Greatness!

[@lainynicks502]

So glad the 80s was my era the best music and the best times and duran duran are still good ❤

[@runner2008]

I saw Duran Duran in concert back in 1984. I`ve been to hundreds of concerts, and that concert is still in my top three. They sound and look fantastic. I would love to see them again.

[@dealgood]

40 years on and duran duran still sound fantastic. I wasnt a fan until i saw them at a festival in gibraltar in 2018 and they blew me away. such a great live band.

[@TallysVids]

We were in London last week, and we were walking through Hyde Park on the mid morning of the 10 July. We heard Duran Duran doing some rehearsals and me and my girlfriend both said what a fantastic voice Simon still has.

[@sergeyivanov2449]

Duran Duran is Forever!❤

[@sumertime5]

I was there in Hyde park and it was absolutely fantastic! One ticked off the bucket list.

[@jennifernovak1319]

I've been a fan for almost 40 years, and they sound better than ever! I cannot wait to see them stateside next month!

[@ianbale612]

Simon still got it! Oh yes, I'm his fan since 1984. Imagine those 38 years with Duran Duran. Yes, they're in my soul, baby.

[@daniewinnie]

They're absolute geniuses. Great musicians, composers and performers, they never grow old (even if all of them are in their sixties!) neither does their music. Hats off to these guys! They sound as good as they did 40 years ago if not better. I'll go completely crazy if I'd meet them!! They're absolutely my favourites in the world. For ever duranian from italy

[@BlueHopi144]

" Hungry like a Wolf " + " Save a Prayer " are 2 of my favorite DD songs .

[@shirleyyao1796]

Duran Duran was my childhood. Glad to watch them again on stage! Thanks for the video!
