It's only taken 27 years (blimey), but Duran live at London's Hammersmith Apollo has finally received a legitimate commercial release. I say legitimate because this film has been doing the rounds of DD fans for years, first on VHS and more recently via digital formats, and is considered something of a classic. For some reason EMI only saw fit to float it out to TV (where the bootlegs came from), and never sought to reap the harvest of Duran's emerging success. Perhaps, due to the band's potent way with a video, but without doubt to their detriment.
Filmed live at the tipping point, just as the band were about to hit big, all the signs are present; the factors that would lead to world domination within another three years: the band is tight, the playing is knock-out, the songs forged from raw gemstone, and the energy level is set to 'party'. The band had found a serious sound with their debut album, but with the Rio follow-up they had struck gold.
Unfortunately, the teen element of Duran's following would depth-charge any chance of the music press recognising the band for the major musicians they were (and are); and it's sad that it's taken as many years for the tang of teen frenzy to wear off allowing the band to finally receive the props they deserve. And worked for. Because when you see this (and if you have the money to spare you won't be disappointed, I guarantee) you'll realise that DD are grafters; they (not hype, nor PR spin) make the roof raise. Perhaps the band's success with videos was seen as more important, and the live scene was considered old hat. Who knows...... Read more ›

I took delivery of this DVD last week and I've been watching it every day since. The live performance in this show has echoes of the later 'Arena' tour in 1984 but here we have the boys in a more edgy and 'party' mood. Absent are the subsequent 'Seven and the Ragged Tiger' songs but in their place we have the moody 'Friends of Mine' and a slow-burning 'Come up and see me' - both fantastic. Listening to the live CD is a revelation - Andy Taylor's voice backs up the big Le Bon choruses - on 'New Religion' we get a full measure of this and it works! Nick Rhodes is also in a playful mood throughout, throwing in some very melodic synth effects on most tracks which are not there in later live performances. The guitar work from both JT and AT is simply awesome. Here are two of the best new wave musicians in the world giving full vent to their craft - expect the unexpected on every track. The songs are top quality, the sound is tightening up and the energy on stage is almost brimming to explosive level - this is the moment that 5 young British men are on the verge of becoming the biggest pop band in the world. The quality of Duran Duran as both recording artists and live performers is captured perfectly on this release. It's a winner.

It was with eager anticipation that I received my copy of Duran Duran Live at Hammersmith Odeon this week. Duran are superb throughout the whole performance and the film captures the raw dynamism of the band as extremely talented song writers and musicians. This is especially impressive when you consider the average age of the band members at the time was 21.
This tour was before the Seven and the Ragged Tiger album when synthesisers took over and arguably dominated their reportoir. The sumptuous layering of slick guitars, syncopated bass, novel synths and powerful drums is clearly evident surmounted with great vocals by Simon Le Bon. This is a fantastic DVD worthy of any collection. The bonus live CD makes the whole package very good value. What are you waiting for! Buy it today!

Duran Duran are still evolving in 2009, but go back to 1982 and they were the newest pop sensation. In the previous year they had released their first album featuring Planet Earth and Girls On Film, then in 1982 they released the best album of their career, Rio. This concert captures them at the legendary Hammersmith Odeon in London on the 'Rio' tour.
The band, then aged 19 - 23 were just getting used to the limelight in the UK, their big break in America was yet to happen, so we see five guys performing their hearts out, playing songs that they'd written in the preceding 2 or 3 years.
What makes this concert brilliant, and the Rio album brilliant, is the strength of the songs that were not singles. You won't fail to be blown away by the excellent The Chauffeur and New Religion, and when you add them to the strong tracks of the first album Nightboat and Friends Of Mine, as well as all the singles, you get a fantastic 16 track concert DVD.
If you like Duran Duran, or are interested in the music of the early 80's, this DVD is essential. It captures the best band of the year performing a brilliant show. The set is a 16 track concert DVD with two BBC 'Top of The Pops' performances (Rio and Hungry), and a 10 free track audio CD of the concert. In fact, it's a bit of a bargain!
DVD Tracklist:
1. Rio, 2. Hungry Like The Wolf, 3. Night Boat, 4. New Religion, 5. Save A Prayer, 6. Planet Earth, 7. Friends Of Mine, 8. Careless Memories, 9. Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me), 10. Girls On Film, 11. My Own Way, 12. Hungry Like The Wolf, 13. Save A Prayer, 14. Lonely In Your Nightmare, 15. Rio, 16. The Chauffeur, 17.
