I have been in London this summer. I have always loved DD and so I went to see Hammersmith Odeon one day...
DD played there a lot of times
Believe me, I'm not a teenager anymore but....It has been like to come back in the time.
I know I'm crazy, because I'm talking about 1982...but in that moment I was a 16 years-old girl who was with her friends waiting for the concert...waiting for THEM.
I don't know if is this normal or not.. you tell me!
@KINKANOS it is normal...it happend to everyone with passion...to feel that way is magic and don't let anyone tell you different...I did this with them at Madison Sq Garden when they had the reunion and with Rick Springfield
I love Andy's pants and belt! I would so wear that (with a shirt.) I hate how Andy's guitar skills are always undermined because he was in, well, Duran Duran. I wish people didn't rag on them so much....
And I love John in general. He is the sexiest man to have ever lived. HIs clothes are fabulous, as well.
Duran Duran pwns! maybe not live, but they've gotten a lot better in performing recently.
... but, of course, the girls are all screaming so loudly, they can't hear him. ;)
Oh, to have seen them in concert in their hey-day!! ... I would have been 12 when this was filmed ... and finally went to my first concert last December, at the age of 39. LOL!
There was a box set of the singles on cd came out a couple of years ago, and it had this as a cd. Greatest song performed by duran duran ever, beats seventh stranger and careless memories anyday !
This is my very favourite DD song ever!! I grew up with their music and found this on the B side of the reflex. The guitar riff is just awesome thanks for posting this. x
How I wish I was born 10 years sooner. I would have loved to see these guys in the 80's. It actually makes me kind of sad to think of it. This video is just brilliant.
I swear to God, there was nothing sexier or more swoon-worthy than these boys in their heyday. I still get goose bumps watching this. Thank you thank you thank you.
Written and performed by Steve Harley.... yet it could easily be a Duran Duran song. They took this song and made it their own!

Watch Simon`s lips very closely.There are certain sections of the song which makes me convinced he was miming!

At the beginning he says "Just listen..."
... but, of course, the girls are all screaming so loudly, they can't hear him. ;)

It should be noted that Duran Duran didn't write this song. It was written by Steve Harley.
Still, fantastic performance! John's so cute in his fedora...

I bought "The Reflex" on 7" and then ended up playing the B-side more. Still do - until I can find it on CD.

Most excellent. Still got this on 7". This is right up there with "The Seventh Stranger" as best DD song.

Hmm, who's playing the key's in this?
So Nick just triggers pre-recorded tracks?
Watch his hands in this clip, he's clearly not playing the piano, or whatever it is, at the beginning of the song.
