Great video by I wish the cameraman would have focused the camera on John Taylor`s fingering on the bass at 3:00 minutes cuz he really ROCKS the bass there! :D
Did you see John Taylor say he was bored at 2:47 You have to be shitting me! Right? If you are bored in front of 50,000 screaming fans there is something wrong with you. He probably tells his wife just as he is about to cum that "He's bored". How arrogant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I Just don't understand why music today so terrible, especially with all the awesome ideas for music from the 80's like Duran Duran, u2, The Cure etc...... has contributed. Man it's so unfortunate.
The filming/editing in "As the Lights Go Down" were great. Those guys deserve some kind of award. They knew how to amp up or down the energy for each song.
Actually, he's a student of Bernard Edwards, the late bassist for the R&B group, Chic. Edwards produced John Taylor's other band, The Power Station. Legend has it that Edwards willed his favorite Fender Jazz Bass to John Taylor...PEACE.
Anyone else see the person get sacked at 1:04 as i think she goes to, again guessing, hug the lead guitarist. and she almost successeded. then the guard.
yeah lol 2 girls run up on the stage one goes to hug john taylor and one to hug simon lol corrr there brave for running up there they probaly got thrown out or summin there lucky though lol
When he says that, it is during the bridge part of the song which is much more mild for the bass player. The rest of the song he is flying on that bass.
I do wish they had produced this video a little less and given us more of the raw video.
Yesss they do i just saw them for them for the first time ever i waited since i was little and let me tell you i would wait a lifetime they are amazing !!!
If you're a working drummer covering this song, don't make the mistake I made and get stuck doing the backing vocals -- it's a nightmare on this track. Lived through it, but it's a breathless experience, and I notice they didn't make their drummer sing at this tempo.
Haha! I hear ya... The bass line is a chore during those sections as well. Needless to say, we played this song early in the first set so I could still walk off stage as opposed to falling off of it.
Great concert! I was 14 at the time, but I remember it like it was yesterday! Great sound, I also remember it being very loud! I actually met the band in 2003 in Chicago and got to hang with them for a few hours. That was a blast!
I saw them in March '84 in Florida. We expected them to sound like they did on their albums. They didn't, but we loved them so much, who cared? You knew the words to every song they performed, and you screamed and danced along with them. I'll never forget at one point, John was walking backward, and Andy was too - toward each other. They almost bumped right into each other from behind!! Then there were all the "lookalikes" in the audience. It was a total blast - A fun night!
i became a bass player thanks to duran duran...i started in orchestra 1985 i wanted to start in 83 but there were no programes for 10 year olds at the time so i had to wait 2 years..im now 34 and there isnt a duran duran song i cant play..i still love this stuff
Glad to know that. John Taylor is a fantastic bassist! Are you in a band at the moment?
I also play the bass but unlike you, I started to play just about 11 months back (so you can imagine my level). Before that, I used to play the keyboard for a long time. With me, it was The Cure's songs that provided the initial spark of inspiration to play the bass. So, I am thankful to Simon Gallup and Robert Smith.
no im not in a band..and i think it has to do with geography more than anything else..i live outside cleveland ohio, when i read on myspace bassit wanted its usually for some screaming band..there is noting wrong with your "leval" we all have to start some where in life, when i started i was overwhlemd by things..just relax you will eventually get the hang of things, ill give u alot of credit for your inffluences..lets go to bed from the cure is my favorite bassline from them..keep in touch! d
Thanks a lot! I appreciate that. You are right- everyone needs to start somewhere. I think I picked up the bass at the right moment because I had that strong urge to actually play one than just for the sake of proving something. That is not to say that I am any good but I have a passion for it.
Yes, 'Let's Go to Bed' has got really awesome bass lines! In fact, The Cure's whole 'Japanese Whispers' album has got really catchy bass lines (though they are really hard to play for a beginner).
Solid heydey performance but disappointing on Andy Taylor's part. He totally eschewed the great guitar lines on the LP version for simple chording. Yawn. Warren's a much better guitarist!
yeah it does ..weird, maybe just trying something different and was a bad idea, never heard him fuck around on that section before or after that though :)
The bass in the sax solo sounds totally different you idiot, if you cannot hear the contrast between this version and the usual way he plays it then you must be the one who is deaf.
Great to see a live piece from so long ago. They were so cute back then. The studio version of this video is awesome, by the way. One of my all time favs.
Duran Duran shaped the way i hear poetry in melodies.Effective hooks , British , breath taking , sexy bass playing , even haunting sometimes . clever use of non-diatonic chords .
i take it you never been to a dd show. especially at the height of the fame. their concerts were crazy. fans fainting, trying to get on stage, and even sneak backstage. its not fake, its the hysteria like this that caused ppl to compare them to the beatles.
My friends the memories, I was born in 1975 (proper 80s child), my older sister taped the documentary off the telly that this concert featured in. If I watched that video once I watched it 100 times. I must buy the DVD immediately in order to happily wallow in days gone by, when my thoughts consisted of John Taylor, My Little Ponies and Pickled Onion Monster Munch 8)
duran duran has one of the best bass players of all time. that is some incredible skill, i am a music teacher, and their bassist jumps out to me in full force. what an amazing talented player
I am so glad you posted this. I am a long time guitarist of 33 yrs of age. i went over to the Bass side 2 years ago. John Taylor, Peter Hook, Andy Rourke, Carlos Dengler are my gods.
If you don't know Old Durans, You cannot conceive the positive energy that he 80's were giving: they were a sparkle of colour and radiance on show and videos! they pioneered so much, but underestimated as Artists because of their attractive looks! Music is about...music. Listen to the old Durans if you want to feel the 80's, guys! Mz.x
I hear you. I was born in 1974 so I came up in the 80s and desite Thatcher & Reagan it was a positive era for pop culture...today we have shit....maybe Intrepol?
they play this song on the radio where i work every day and ive always hated it. out of curiousity i watched this video just playing around on youtube. my perception has changed. this is an 80's nugget. there isnt much great that came out of the 80's but this is decent.
This concert was performed in Oakland, California at the end of they're 1984 North American Tour. Fuckin great times. I saw them here in Toronto, Canada on the same tour in 1984.
I could tell you but it was soooo long ago. They were very energetic and Ive heard some say that they dont play they're songs like they do on the albums, but its OK because if I want to hear DD on a CD, I can do it any time. For me, to hear Rio, or Wild Boys in a different way, is cool. Good stage presence but not rehearsed though. They are all natural entertainers, not like those twits these days. "Robot Performers" like Backstreet Boys, or Spears, or Timberlake just aren't the same to me.
Oooooh! Thanks for posting that. We used to have a ball at their concerts year ago. I swear that do-do-do-do-do-do at the fade out was way overly addictive. And John was a hottie.

they play this song on the radio where i work every day and ive always hated it. out of curiousity i watched this video just playing around on youtube. my perception has changed. this is an 80's nugget. there isnt much great that came out of the 80's but this is decent.

Where was this concert - Maracana? Does anyone remember? Well, at least he wasn't lip-synching. Nice performance of one of my favorite songs.

This concert was performed in Oakland, California at the end of they're 1984 North American Tour. Fuckin great times. I saw them here in Toronto, Canada on the same tour in 1984.

I could tell you but it was soooo long ago. They were very energetic and Ive heard some say that they dont play they're songs like they do on the albums, but its OK because if I want to hear DD on a CD, I can do it any time. For me, to hear Rio, or Wild Boys in a different way, is cool. Good stage presence but not rehearsed though. They are all natural entertainers, not like those twits these days. "Robot Performers" like Backstreet Boys, or Spears, or Timberlake just aren't the same to me.

Were you at Maple Leaf Garden? The same of the video The Reflex?
Please, tell me about Simon, were you in front of him?

Oooooh! Thanks for posting that. We used to have a ball at their concerts year ago. I swear that do-do-do-do-do-do at the fade out was way overly addictive. And John was a hottie.
