bought the "CD" today, that comes with a total of 17 songs and also a DVD. Listening to it now
If anyone watched them on Leno tonight, someone might be asking Simon when Bono's going to call for his glasses back!
Huge fan, and in all honesty, I'm probably a bigger Duran fan than a U2 fan. After seeing both bands live though, I'd hold them on about an equal footing. Still great shows, though I have a feeling I never caught DD at their peak, whenever that was (perhaps during the reunion tour dates a few years back). Bought the CD today as well. Favorites so far are probably The Man Who Stole a Leopard, Girl Panic, Being Followed, and Too Bad You're So Beautiful.
Will be heading to the Minneapolis and Chicago dates in April myself. If any of you people are heading there too, let me know!
is there a link to the Leno performance? youtube?
Last week was my first time, and all i could say was.....WOW
As for them hitting their peak, other than their early-mid 80's heyday or maybe 93, i don't know. I do say this new album is fantastic. I'm a bigger u2 fan than DD, but honestly, i cant remember the last time u2 put out a new album as good as "all you need is now". Certainly hasn't been this decade...and i like ATYCLB, HTDAAB, & NLOTH. Just saying!
If DD's new album isn't a "hit" or sell a lot of copies and produce at least one radio "hit" single, then the entire music business (mgmt, not the artists) needs to just fold up shop and call it quits.
I'm hoping they play 'man who stole a leopard' tonight. But i also got to say that 'mediterranea' is absurdly good live.
I fell in love in 1983, when I was 10!

lol cori's old
Hey! I'm with Cori, so be nice now! (Except I was 8 instead of 10.)
DD was MY before U2. I knew all the debut album singles, but I really fell hard when "Rio" came out. I can't tell you how many times I used to listen to 'Hold Back The Rain' and 'New Religion'.
And don't even get me started on the 'Save A Prayer' video.
John Taylor was one if not my main crush when I was in elementary school in the early 80s. He is still hot.
I am now watching the videos from last night, they are a bit trippy. Not sure about that Leopard song and the floating masks that were part of the video from last night.
I remember everyone having crushes on various boys in school and writing "I love (insert name here) and I would always write "I love John Taylor" hahaha
I think the only bit I really want to see is Beth Ditto singing with them on Notorious.
