Who's youre fucking daddy!!!
Where are you seeing them ? I've got tickets to the Mayan show in LA and the Kimmel outdoor concert next week. And Pomona next month.
ThackerVille Oklahoma @ Winstar Casino!
Let me start by saying, im not really one to review concerts. Ive been to a few (u2, Chili Peppers, Depeche Mode, Killers, Collective Soul, Nixons, Reverend Horton Heat, Bangles, probably a few more i cant remember) but not as many as most people on here.
Im obviously a little biased, and i can almost judge a show by saying "there's U2, and then there's everyone else..."
So let me say this, if u2 is a "10" live then Duran Duran was a 9 or 9.5 last night. The only disappointment would be the absence of 'Hungry Like a Wolf' (setlist below). However the entire show was brilliantly performed from start to finish with the first track 'all you need is now' a great opener full of energy and sing/scream along with the crowd who probably doesn't even know the song all that well.
The classic hits like Rio, Girls on Film, Reflex, etc. probably got the biggest buzz from the crowd. But for me the standouts were easily (and surprisingly) 'Ordinary World' and 'Mediterranea'. The former of which Simon made mention of trying to find peace in the world, or something like that, the latter had something to do with the English being drunk on vacation and trying to annoy the Germans. Also, he said it was the first time they'd ever played it live and we were the first group to hear it! And then he added at the end "try not to drown"
Very nice. Im quite in awe of this band and they played an awesomely brilliant set. EVERY SONG, OLD OR NEW, WAS AWESOME AND SOUNDED AMAZING! My bladder was about to explode thanks to plenty of cheap beer and i had to run to the restroom during the encore and missed part of 'a view to a kill',
That was about as ill-timed as the Elevation concert back in 2001 where i had to do the same thing and missed part of 'Bad'
Damn low alcohol content in the cheap beer makes me drink more and more
Anyway i couldn't be more pleased with last nights show. my pictures sucked but i did take some nice videos and i got a cool t shirt. I hope this fabulous new album (Simon says, and i agree) takes off for them and they get around more and play more shows to more people.
They left us last night by saying "we'll see you down the road..
" God i sure do hope so
