DURAN DURAN... what did you think?

Going to see them tonight in LA - who has caught the show already around the country and what did you think? Like? Not like? I assume they play most of their latest CD - but do they cover old ground as well? biggrin

Please please tell me now!

You can check out the set lists at DuranDuran.com in the News section.

They are doing about 5 or 6 songs from the new album.

Gotta say I was not very impressed with most of the new stuff. I did like about 2 songs, though - and liked the anime thing they showed during one song. I understand that the new songs play/sound better live than on the new CD...?
Wold any one agree? I didn't listen to the whole thing - but just mostly skipped through it. Someone I know who LOVED them got the CD and took it back - was that disappointed.

It was a blast to hear all the old stuff with a stadium fulll of people dancing and singing along. They played ALL my favorites I loved that they closed with "Rio" - it got a huge crowd response and they projected the Nagel cover on the jumbo tron - the whole thing made me smile from ear to ear for 2 hours!
biggrin

To each his own, but I think "Astronaut" is their best album in years!!!!

I did not care for the "Pop Trash" album in 2000.

Yes, I agree, they sound much better live than on cd. The mark of a great band.

If your friend took the cd back, then she doesn't really LOVE them. razz j/k I think people who don't like the cd are expecting something really specific. Kinda like when people yearn for Prince's old style. With any group/artist that I like, I go more by the nuances of the music... the general feeling they put across. Everyone has their individuality and I respect that. I wasn't toooo into Pop Trash, but I still respect the fact that those are my boys doing what they love.

The energy in a stadium full of people groovin to a good tune is undeniable, isn't it? They always put on a good show, but when the crowd gets into it as well, it's a GREAT show.
