Check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZ09HcvYQTY original video from '81, despite not being a single. Defining the vampire/zombie theme for music videos a year before Michael Jackson's "Thriller". I wish they'd add in "To The Shore" - that was quite far out also with synths and atmo (and never played live after 1982).

I read a newspaper article yesterday mentioning that this was the first show in Germany in 13 years, and the first one in Düsseldorf ever. Simon LeBon repeated this fake news at the show. I was actually at the Big Live Thing tour at Philips Halle (now Mitsubishi Electric Halle) in 1988. So that's that. But no further flaws were discovered at this show ;-) Compared to Zeebrugge Live is Live Festival 3 years ago this was much, much better. The band seemed to enjoy themselves, were agile, communicative, they all smiled a lot. Simon seems fitter somehow. Unfortunately, Roger never really gets the spotlight behind his huge drum kit. Video animation, light show, everything quite perfect. Only for people in the very back a live video projection would be nice. A couple newer songs appeared, but the focus was on the old hits. 80% were from the 80s (and 90s). I just wish they'd play a few more of the old non-singles, ballads like To The Shore, Too Late Marlene, Hold Me, A Matter of Feeling, American Science, New Religion, Winter Marches On, Palomine, The Edge of America, My Antarctica, but also dance stuff like My Own Way, Hold Back The Rain, Last Chance on the Stairway, Of Crime And Passion, Union Of The Snake, Shadows On Your Side, Downtown. I'd really love a kind of such b-side show in a tiny venue, with blood and sweat dripping from the ceiling. OK, back to this one. I can sing along all the old songs. So you can imagine I still thoroughly enjoy myself here very very much. I was 1987 in Cologne, 1988 in Düsseldorf, 1993 in Cologne, 2008 in Cologne, 2022 in Zeebrugge, 2025 in Düsseldorf.

Duran Duran "Night Boat" (1981) Lyrics:

Standing on the edge of a quay
Low lights flashing on the water for me
Fogging my mind darkens in my eyes
Silently streaming for a distant sound
Ripple river yellows
Rising for a breath of breeding and drowns
Stillness overcomes me in the night
Listen to the rising water moan

[Chorus]
I'm waiting
Waiting for the night boat, woah!
I'm waiting
Waiting for the night boat

Shudders all through me, shudder away
Echo me, echo me (Echo me...)
Am I alone, or is the river alive?
'Cause it echoes me, echoes me, echoes me

[Chorus]
[Instrumental break]

Waiting... (and so on)

Duran Duran "Wild Boys" (1984) Lyrics:

[Intro-Refrain]
Wild boys (3x)
Wild boys
Wild! Boys!

[Verse 1]
The wild boys are calling
On their way back from the fire
In august moon's surrender to
A dust cloud on the rise
Wild boys fallen far from glory
Reckless and so hungered
On the razors edge you trail
Because there's murder by the roadside
In a sore afraid new world

[Pre-Chorus]
They tried to break us
Looks like they'll try again

[Chorus]
Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine

[Verse 2]
You got sirens for a welcome
There's bloodstain for your pain
And your telephone been ringing while
You're dancing in the rain
Wild boys wonder where is glory
Where is all you angels
Now the figureheads have fell
And lovers war with arrows over
Secrets they could tell

[Pre-Chorus]
They tried to tame you
Looks like they'll try again

[Chorus]

[Refrain]
Wild boys, wild boys, wild boys (2x)

[Chorus x3]
