Duran Duran - look and hear - complete 1981

[DirectionUK]

This recording was from 1981 from Studio 1 at BBC Pebble Mill Birmingham. The vocals were live - but the band (if I remember correctly) were allowed to use a backing track. The programme Look! Hear! was broadcast only regionally in the Midlands. I was the senior floor manager (credited as Keith Haley Assistant Producer). Sad that the original masters have probably been wiped.

[RocioDD]

@DirectionUK wow thanks so much for the information !

[theWARMJET]

Andy's looked a bit like Thom Yorke

[RXRom4]

@RoccioDD where do you find all this good stuff on Duran Duran? This is sure pure treasure. =D

[BlocksVideos]

@RXRom4 That is my footage from my video tape archive. I released it onto the traders market about 4 years ago. Cheers, Block.

[RocioDD]

@BlocksVideos thanks so much !!!! awesome !!

[156nico]

papapapapaaa....!!!:-))))

[pusscat01]

Oh, this is most definitely live and absolutely fantastic. DD fan for 30 years, love to still be able to see the early stuff :) xx

[cyn426]

Wow !

[laurasav]

oh this makes me yearn for the early 80s again... people were so unique with their look and sound. Now everyone is just a cookie cutter... so so boring!

[heksje69]

If you pay realy good attention you can see that the sound is a fraction slower then the video, that might explain why some of yout hink its not alive recoring

[TheJackie212]

Simon is so beautiful here :)

[mitsebe02]

OMG!! This is the great video!! I've never seen before!! 

[jlgilesrivera]

Playback with Simon singing on top.

[RocioDD]

@jlgilesrivera what means playback ? they are singing live , they are awesome !

[jlgilesrivera]

@RocioDD the audio comes straight from the album. They aren´t playing live. Only the voices.

[RocioDD]

@jlgilesrivera i don't think so you can hear andy's voice too and the in the end of the spngs roger's drum too but i really dont care at all ! i love them ! 27 years being a duranie ! thanks for your comment

[diadexxus]

Fantastic to hear the "original Audio" from 1981! Wow... :) If you have a chance, Read Any Taylor's Book "The Wild Boy",and the DD book "Notorious" talks about the beginnings of DD, and its great!

[jsnramc1]

This is wonderful. Only thing wrong is not enough JOHN. Thanks for posting this.

[spooookygirl]

OH MY! I've never seen this!

[RobotronZone]

Anyone else notice how here on the song Planet Earth, Andy is playing what i would call rhythm guitar(like whats on the lp/cd) but in future concerts he would play lead guitar playing the same notes Nick would play on the synth? I prefer the way its played here

[gretchendot]

this is 100% the best thing i have EVER seen on youtube.

LOVE LOVE LOVE simon's hair like that, HOT!

[SimonLeBonsGirl]

i really love the early days of Duran, i need to find more early footage of them, coz Simon is soo sexy!
