Duran Duran: Live at Wembley - Series 1 Ep. 1 - Duran Duran: Live at Wembley

Synopsis

There aren’t too many bands that can take to the stage and receive an ovation before the gig has even begun. But Duran Duran opted to milk the acclaim before a single song had been sung, standing in front of an appreciative crowd for about two minutes, before getting down to business. The Wembley date, on Saturday, April 24, 2004, was one of several the band was in the capital playing to mark the 25th anniversary of their formation, and boasted the original line-up of Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes and the three Taylors. The band were the undisputed kings of the New Romantic wave of the 1980s, thriving on the kitsch values which encompassed the movement.
