Duran Duran at WFC Philly 9/7/23

I don't think teenager me would ever have guessed that 50 year old me would be at a Duran Duran concert but teenager me was wrong about pretty much everything. The last time I saw DD was in the mid 90s and I had a fantastic time so I was pretty happy to get a show here.

Not like I would have doubted it but DD brought a show! Screens, light show etc etc. Simon Le Bon was VERY talkative and hot (for an old guy) with his silver pants. He definitely gave Philly a lot of love, noting all the places they have played here previously. Notably saving Spectrum Center and Live Aid for last (where he said that they first played AVTAK at that performance.) I loved that he introduced Planet Earth with "this one's for the new romantics". I also really enjoyed seeing his dynamic with the also still hot John Taylor. They did a lot of singing practically cheek to cheek and that was absolutely fantastic.

Let's talk about visuals next. Lots of cool sequences but Simon specifically called out the creepy baby for Lonely in Your Nightmare (one of my favorite DD songs.) I was also happy to get Careless Memories which was punctuated by the lyrics flashing on the screens. The two covers (Super Freak and White Lines) were great - I knew that they do White Lines live but Super Freak was unexpectedly awesome.

And the encore. Simon played guitar during Save A Prayer! He encouraged a sing-a-long! The visuals were great! Ending on Rio was a huge high, I mean who doesn't love Rio.

Lots of video on my insta!

Duran Duran Appreciation Day

[fiendfifofum]

Uuh so Duran Duran has been releasing music this whole time? And their 2021 album is... good? Actually good?

Don't get me wrong, if you don't like old-school Duran Duran you definitely won't like this either. It's definitely Duran Duran, but it's also an audibly matured sound with really good production.

Most of my decent @duranduranofficial photos from SAP Center in San Jose are of JT, just because of where I was, but Nick’s Ombre suit was something else. I love it!

Duran Duran, one of the iconic rock bands of the 20th century had such impact, so powerful through their countless #1s and multi-platinum sold albums, fans of the 21st century wouldn't dare refuse this docu-concert film, "A Hollywood High". It's a celebration of 40 years in the game, a new album titled FUTURE PAST, and with the backdrop being the Hollywood Hills and the landmark Capitol (Records) Tower building, relive the past in the future on Nov. 19, for their Rock & Roll Hall of Fame honor on HBO/HBO Max!
