As much as
Red Carpet Massacre is just
not doing it for me, I still can't resist catching
Duran Duran whenever they
come to town. I wish
Andy wouldn't have left the band last year, so that they could have released the guitar oriented album instead of going back into the studio with
Timbaland/Timberlake. But oh well, as one of the first bands I ever saw live (
Wedding Album tour @ Starplex in Dallas, 1993), they'll always remain my favorite band to have come out of the
New Romantic-era.
A look at a few
recent setlists shows a nice mixture of new and old ("New Religion"! "Hold Back The Rain"!) And fingers crossed that they play this mid-show "electro set":
Last Chance On The Stairway / All She Wants / Leatherette (The Normal cover) / I Don't Want Your Love / Skin Trade / Tempted
