The venue was heaving with Duran Duran fans, all waiting eagerly for the band to come on stage. Being VIP we had been allowed in slightly earlier, so to get good positions down near the front of the stage. When the band appeared everyone went crazy and the screams were deafening, as they broke into their first song of the night, " A View to a Kill".

They really rocked the Empire, Simon was strutting his stuff across the stage, whilst John teased the audience by coming right to the edge of the stage, Nick and Roger were a little further back and the violinists etc were ushered in and out when needed.

They played 18 songs in total, 6 of them were from the new album, and the others were a mixture of older stuff.

The set list went as follows -

View To a Kill

Being Followed

Is There Something I Should Know

All You Need is Now

Notorious

Safe

Leave a Light ON

Reflex

Ordinary World

Mediterranea

Friends of Mine

Girl Panic

Careless Memories

Sunrise

Rio    

Then for the Encore they came back on and played

Come Undone

Runaway/Girls on Film

 

It was an absolutley awesome show, and i would recommend anyone to go and see Duran Duran in concert, they may be middle aged men now, but they can still belt out them hits.

Now i can't wait to go and see them in Brighton.
