  • Now as a 40-something, I find this to be the most compelling Duran song ever.

  • love this song sooo much..... .......

  • Beautiful

  • Brilliant live version!!

  • 3 stupid persons...

  • Love this song! I hope DD plays it in September when I get to go see them live!

    Their songs are timeless!!!! LOVE 'EM!!!

  • What a tune, loved it in '84/85 and still love it now!!

  • GOD this is beautiful!

  • awesome tune, very under-rated i luv it

  • Simon's voice is so amazing. I remember seeing them in concert at the ripe age of 11 in the 80's. They are still simply the best

  • i thought that video was sleazy and NOT duran duran. It is the furthest thing from style. I can still play that on the recorder(the instrument it is made for).

  • Best version of "The chaffeur" everm and one of the best songs ever too.

  • OMG! an Ocarina!! Zelda Moments!

  • What is the instrument that Simon is playing?

  • @Theexponential1 its called a Ocarina

  • Interesting, the trumpet gives the Chauffeur a Blues sound

  • Simon is the braun, Nick is the brains. Super, SUPER sexy song.

  • Simon le God ! =)

  • Beautiful indeed, but it ain't been filmed in 1988

  • @discodelirio yes it was filmed in 1988. Notice that Andy is absent and Warren hasn't been "officially" made a band member. So this tour is "Big Thing". Which was released in 1988.

  • @sadalite I think this may actually be the from the tour supporting Notorious, in 1987. You can tell by Simon's hair (or lack thereof), and I'm pretty sure The Chauffer was seldom played on the Big Tour.

  • @sadalite Actually, I stand partially corrected. This was filmed on 8th January 1988, but it was one of the last shows of the Strange Behaviour Tour, in support of Notorious.

  • i love 3:09

  • tears of joy. that good.

  • húúúú!!!! :)

  • I loved augor bombing to this track..

  • WOW! Just WOW!

  • Beautifully performed

  • Simon sings like hes making out!!! i wanna eat his mouth

  • @MyEnime ~ hell yeah!!......He's got the best voice...so primal

  • Saw this version live @ Madison Square Garden 1987 June 23

  • The best song they ever did - relatively unknown when compared with their massive hits though - superb!!!

  • Awsome track!!!!!! Excellent live too.

  • love this version. saw it live in Copenhagen in nov. 1988

  • Love this version. saw it live in Copenhagen 1988

  • perfection!!!

  • LINDO!!

  • Absolutely amazing version :-O

  • God that face.

  • Amazing performance of an amazing song! Keeps sending me shivers down my spine....

  • funky....

  • Back in the eighties duran duran was my favorite group. this song is awesome.

  • Neskutočne prenádherná vec táto pieseň až tak,že to asi ani nemôže byť pieseň hmm?

  • awesome performance,can listen to it again and again !

  • vi rendete conto....................20 anni che la cerco nn la sentivo da un sacco dio quanto è bella,ma al giorno d'oggi ste musiche dove sono?finito tutto ,finiti gli anni finita la bella musica e i cantanti startosferici degli anni 80!!!

  • Anch'io l'ho ascoltata dopo secoli.....e devo dire l'ho apprezzata ancora di più di una volta. Ma non paragoniamo gli anni 80 musicali con gli attuali, perchè mi domanderei dove i MADONNA, MICHAEL JACKSON, GEORGE MICHAEL, DAVID BOWIE, WHITNEY HOUSTON, ELTON JOHN O GRUPPI COME GLI STESSI DURAN, SPANDAU, POLICE, QUEEN.....Ma le vediamo le classifiche? Liga non certo ha 20 anni, Vasco idem, la Pausini pure e cito solo gli italiani.....

  • Comment removed

  • Deftones' cover is much better

  • @leviathan6177 That depends on ones taste. I never liked the Deftones' cover.

  • @leviathan6177

    oh my.... stay in school kid! I love the deftones, but this song can never be duplicated by anyone else... the original is classic

  • I saw this live!!! Awesome concert!!!!!!!!!!!

  • A haunting melody that makes you feel there is some goodness in being materially happy. They have represented England to the world.

  • I love this song!

  • Chills down my spine.. I was born in 1988, and I love the remix Deftones did, which is how I ended up finding this vid.

  • @twistdshade

    I quite agree with you. this vid. it's awesome

  • I saw Duran Duran in concert one of the best I have ever seen!

  • sooo sexy!

  • Too bad all this great music wasn't spotlighted the way the shitty hair metal was in the late 80s. Even as a kid I hated all that crap.

  • You were a bright kid!

  • within top 10 bands all time

    in my book

    yes?

  • OH

    MY

    GOD

    !!!

  • Brillante!!!!!

  • Brilliant!!!!!

  • Ein Meisterwerk!

  • L'intro jazz che sfuma nel tema della tastiera è cosa buona.

  • E l'ocarina di Budrio suonata magistralmente è cosa buona e giusta...

    ;-)

  • siiiiimoooooonnnnn.......

  • I love this band because if it was not for this band i wouldnt have the lead singer of nu-metal band Jonathan Davis.

  • It was the opposite for me, Jon lead me to Duran Duran

  • beautiful performance

  • ohhhhhhh sweet Jesus, I would lick Simon til I was out of spit! Then the fun would start! LOL

  • Excellent version. They are such a good live band. Simply impressive!
