[positivecrusader]

Too Bad You're So Beautiful is a song on par with the Rio album! I love JT's bass in the live version - I wish the bass came alive like that in the studio version.

[notoriusgirl]

Thanks for posting. i was there , it was amazing.

[razorruddock]

Thank you very much for posting =D don't suppose you happened to get Shadows as well did you? =P

[marjoleindonken]

Thanks for the posting. It was not possible to come to England for one of these special gigs. (it hurts).

I hope to see some more from the upcoming gigs the UK.

I have to wait 3,5 month for the Manchester gig.

And of course still waiting for Europe dates. I have a ticket for a concert but no date. Feels very weird.

[wendyhaus1]

@marjoleindonken It'll be worth the wait-possibly the best they've ever been.

[ApocalypseForFree]

Epic, beautiful, no words to describe..thanks for playing it live.

[threnners]

Good god, STFU already and stop trying to be the Duran Duran PoPo people. Thank you Wendy for posting this for those of us who didn't have a shot at going to this show.

[alliewebster]

thanks for this, I was there and appreciate the chance to "re-live" it. Fab night x

[brocholy71]

great video xooxo thanks !! what a dream setlist !!!

[PURPLEDRAGON825]

I didn't watch it. Just saw the title

Though I did see there were signs. You chose not to look.

[wendyhaus1]

@PURPLEDRAGON825 You didn't watch it!!! Yet you took the time to whinge about it not once but three times! I really don't think I need to say any more, do I? You also would appear to be a Troll and if you, like 'Supermsconey' fail to understand the meaning of this word I can only point to the fact that instead of educating yourself you too have wasted your time writing negative comments on other peoples work. By the way, thank you, I do enjoy chats like this.

[janmac09]

love this song, can't wait to see them in Cambridge on Thursday :)

[wendyhaus1]

@janmac09 'Too Bad You're So Beautiful' is incredible, it could be from their 80s peak. All the new stuff is very good-enjoy the show-brilliant.

[wendyhaus1]

@podiumguy100 A very small crowd. In a tiny venue. They were appreciative, but not the noisiest and I think some of the time they were amazed by some of the unusual songs that were played.

[SuperMrsconey]

It says this on DD website - DD would prefer it if you did NOT use your cell phone or camera to take moving pictures and recordings of the band at these shows. Call yourself a fan? If you have any respect for the band whatsoever, you should delete this. You should be ashamed

[wendyhaus1]

@SuperMrsconey So how come you're on here looking at it? Double standards and very hypocritical. If the band would like me to remove it then I have no problems with that-all they have to do is ask-and if I was unaware of the website request because I have other things to do during my day I don't see what business it is of yours. If you had a life of your own you would let people get on with theirs instead of elevating yourself to being part of the self righteous 'YouTube police'. Jog on Troll.

[SuperMrsconey]

@wendyhaus1 I searched for it I suppose stupidly thinking that there wouldn't be anything on and I could believe that there is still people out there who know what the word respect means. And calling someone a "troll" when you don't even know them, well that says it all. If you don't want comments, don't put something on a public arena. This is the first time i've ever commented on anything on here, it'll be the last.

[wendyhaus1]

@SuperMrsconey If it's the last time you post something on here then I consider my work to be done. A win/win situation for everybody (and you are a Troll, you just have no concept of the term when it is in reference to the Internet).Thanks for your time.

F A N T A S T I C

[chrissybryson]

@podiumguy100 It was only a very small crowd.

[derekwildstarr007]

Thanks for sharing Wendy! What a sweet experience it must have been. Question: do you have any footage of Secret Oktober? Shadows on your Side? If not can you just state whether SOktbr was true to the original...

Curious in California

[wendyhaus1]

@derekwildstarr007 Hi. I didn't film any more than the two videos on here (and took 4 or 5 photos). I really wanted to enjoy the concert than spend it all filming it. I thought Secret Oktober was very much like the original and the band really seemed to be enjoying playing the different tracks. If these are included in the upcoming tour then fans are in for a real treat. A shame that one or two people on here are complaining and whining that I have posted these videos. Glad you like them though.

[PURPLEDRAGON825]

There were signs posted stating that the band respectfully request that you refrain from taking pictures and videos, and posting them for the public to view. Not that you can't for yourself but they want to keep the shows special.

[wendyhaus1]

@PURPLEDRAGON825 ? Firstly, there were certainly no such signs at the venue itself or announcements made there, just signs saying no professional stuff. I don't visit the official Duran sites so if they were posted on there then how would I know?

Secondly. I made this for my own personal momento of the show as did many other people. I posted it innocently with just the thought of sharing it with other fans and showing that Duran are back better than ever.

Thirdly. You're here watching it!

[SarahB1863]

There may have been signs posted but that was likely one of those, "Oh, we'd HATE IT if fans filmed this and posted it giving us tons of FREE PUBLICITY for our TOUR!" sorts of things, that the band posts but really doesn't expect anyone to adhere to. Why would they NOT want people to see them in top form, performing fantastic songs? They're a 30-year-old band trying to sell out a tour pushing a record that's almost a year old. They can't afford to be coy; they NEED people to see them.

[balinesa]

John Taylor has personally twitted this video this morning thanking the fans there

[wendyhaus1]

@balinesa Really? Wow, I feel very flattered and very happy now. Thank you.

[ub40the]

1;31 he missed the lyrics , because this is the first time he performe this song :)

[roney76]

Brilliant gig. And great to hear so many album tracks etc. A one off.

[PURPLEDRAGON825]

The security may not stop you from recording and posting, but the band made a very polite plea.

[wendyhaus1]

@PURPLEDRAGON825 I don't recall hearing that at the gig-along with all the other fans who were taking photos and making films for their own memories of a very special night. They did however point out no professional filming or photos so I really don't think this fits into that category, but if you chose not to take any photos or record a little video then good for you.

[steylor]

"Some of the time I was actually just enjoying the music " Which of course is definitely the main reason to go to a concert! I thought it was nice they played something "unusual". I mean,ok, it was just a rehersal, but hey there's been plenty of time and there will be, to hear Rio and HLTW in past and upcoming tours.

[wendyhaus1]

Security? There was a very low key security presence and I didn't see anyone being asked not to film or take photos. I'd definitely take a camera.

[DEEAGGER]

@wendyhaus1 thank u 4 posting last nites gig.not able 2 go to any of the rehearsal gig,so wont get to c the boys until 10th dec in Liverpool. cant wait now. thanks again 4 posting

[darnoc62]

@wendyhaus1  how were security with u filming? im at thursdays gig n dunno whether to take camera n film some stuff

[michellebam1000]

Yay re-living last night all over again

[RogersMel]

Love it! Great to hear Simon sounding like himself. Can't wait to see DD in October!

[scoutmom4145]

I cannot express in words the sheer joy of hearing Simon's voice again.

that being said, I must add how I thoroughly enjoyed the squeals of delight that ensued when SLB took his jacket off. Yup, he's still got the power to whip us up into a frenzy.

Long Live Duran Duran !!! (LLDD!!!)

[mirimont]

welcome back Simon!!! so happy

[steylor]

Hi there Wendyhaus1, did you record Shadows on your side, too? :) If so could you please upload it? Do you guys realize this is the first time they played it live? You were very lucky! :)

Btw....listening again to the video, it's great hearing Simon singing "too bad you're so beautiful" so easily. If he can sing this one, he can sing ANYTHING!

[wendyhaus1]

@steylor I didn't get to record that. Some of the time I was actually just enjoying the music but I do have one more video to add which I will do soon. You'll have to wait to see which song it is. Shadows was an excellent choice and it came over very well but I think a lot of people didn't know what it was as many were expecting a lot of hits.

[DDflexa]

welcome back SI !!

[lambrotheodoros1]

so glad Simon's ok again! 

[ardesigninc]

Thank u so much for posting this!!!!!!!! Brought tears of joy to my eyes! I was among those that worried SLBs singing days might be numbered but he sounds better than ever!

[biglover70]

the new songs are sooo amazing good!!!!!! The big 80's are greeting :))

[isomatteo]

THANK YOU!

[marniejevans1969]

So good to hear Simon hit those high notes again!!! Bring on the Aussie tour!!!!!

[Meganbabes11]

bloody fab.thanks.x

[steylor]

Welcome back Simon!!!!!

Btw: did JT dye his hair blond? Or did he just stop dying them and now they're grey? I can't see clearly.

[marniejevans1969]

@steylor I thought I noted a hint of a fringe too!!!!! I need to see some clear images - STAT!!!!!!!



[starshineub40]

@steylor JTs hair was dyed blond, I took enough photos in Bournemouth the other night to confirm it :)

I LOVE when everyone sings along to the new songs! Right now, though, the best part is hearing SIMON singing again! And may I just add John looks freaking hot!
