Wembley Arena, December 1983 and as the lights go down this track kicks in from the sound system to let us all know the show is about to start - the screams are deafening and then reach hysteria as the first few bars of ‘Is There Something I Should Know’ kick in and the curtains begin to pull back…….
My love for Duran Duran came from my sister's obsession with them. She would dress like Simon, and play all their records on repeat. She bought us tickets to one of their shows in '93 I want to say, because out of respect for all the flooding going on in our part of the country, they did not play "Drowning man". That's pretty damn classy. After that night, I too became a fan.
Thank you for the kind words. It actually means a lot that people feel it has the quality of the early Duran (aka Russell Mulcahy style) videos, which was the intention.
Duran Duran can write any kind of music and it's beautiful. I am a true loyal fan of Duran Duran since 1981. A special thank you to each one in this Band,, Simon Le Bon, John Taylor, Nick Rhodes, Roger Taylor, Andy Taylor and the entire Band for making my life a bit easier listening to your gorgeous music all of these years. I love you guys dearly. XX
This is my favorite Duran Duran track of all time. I first heard of them while downloading tracks of the 80s and there they appeared. I got hooked on to their music and quickly started to look for more albums. Then, after buying seven and the ragged tiger, I listened to this track and it was sooo moving that I played it a million times. It still moves me. and I thought I WAS THE ONLY ONE that was moved by this track because honestly not many people at my age (28) listen to 80s stuff.
You wanna know how I first found out about this band ?.... I grew up in a small town in the North west of Australia . when I was about 10 years old I had gone down the river for a swim and was walking home through bushland (scrub) over what we called "the levee banks" as I approach the only road i needed to cross to get home . This road was elevated and on a sweeping bend . My eyes were focussed on the ground to avoid stepping on double gees and bull ants... when a cassette tape fell from the sky and hit me on the head.. I picked it up *Duran/Duran - RIO* . Someone had flung it out the window of their car as it swept around the bend . got home... played and FKN loved it .Been a Duranie ever since . John Ts bass on the song Rio.......talk about manna from heaven!
37 years on and this still is such an evocative and beautiful piece. Between Nick Rhodes’s spacious textures on the Fairlight, to John Taylor’s perfectly placed lead on the fretless bass line. From Andy Taylor’s measured accents on the guitar, to Roger Taylor’s syncopated counter-percussive rhythms that slowly build, to Andy Hamilton’s perfect sax solo... it all works so damn well. This, like much of Arcadia’s stuff as well, I just love. It has such atmosphere and space in it. Something I so greatly appreciated in much of Duran’s output in that period. I often wonder how much of an impact Alex Sadkin had though his hand in production? He produced the “Seven and the Ragged Tiger” album, as well as the “Monster Mix” version of their earlier single “Is There Something I should Know?” (along with Ian Little), as well as the Arcadia album “So Red the Rose”. They all seem to have that magical “space” in their sound.
This song was the intro music that blasted through the sound system in dark stadiums as the band took their places on stage at the start of their shows on the Seven and the Ragged Tiger tour of 1984. And you could hear the band warming up their instruments and playing extra fillers live behind this recorded music just before the curtain lifted - like John Taylor playing extra bass lines live along with this recorded track. Then the lights went up and the show kicked off. I was there for the Houston, TX show with floor seats, center stage. The place was packed to the rafters and the show was worth every penny.
This is just STUNNING - it's like the video that was never made but SHOULD have been made - shades of Save A Prayer and the intro to 'As The Lights Go Down' concert film - it is the best interpretation of the song i've seen. LOVE the 7&RT inspired DD logo with the tiger's eye - just like the symbol used on the cover! I posted this on DD's facebook page - i bet the love it as much as the fans do!!
Mitchell Gore has recaptured that Russell Mulcahy aesthetic perfectly, with a modern touch and quality. well done from a Duran Duran fan since her early teens, circa 1982
I used to have it on cassette back when it first came out in 1984. It was my first introduction to Capitol Records' then new XDR cassette mastering and tape duplication process, which was something that desperately needed at the time because all of their prior cassettes before XDR were over distorted. I was forced to get rid of my tape collection shortly after the World Trade Center / Pentagon terrorist attracts on 9-11-2001. After that happened, I found myself laid off from job and with no other job prospects I was forced to live on the streets for several years afterwards.
I have to confess this is one of my favorite tracks of theirs as well, though I think so many of their pieces are brilliant. This one just always seems so evocative.
This song makes me get goosebumps. Remember taping Sing blue Silver off TV when I was 11 and this played. Omg I'm still a fan now aged 47. 40 years of my infatuation with John Taylor ❤ "he will be mine...oh yes he will be mine" 😆
I still remember hearing this song for the first time. I was 16, I thought it was the most beautiful, sensuous song I had ever heard. To this day, it remains my favorite song. I happened to stumble upon this video today. (10-17-19) 😳 My goodness, where have I been?!? It's a beautiful video, and captures the song well. Thank you.....❤
I have always been a fan of Duran Duran but for some reason I never heard this track before, however listening to it now it is amazingly evocative and hypnotising I’m kicking myself for not listening to it sooner
Gorgeous, Gorgeous, Gorgeous song. Why didn't this song reach #1 on the charts? Duran Duran has so many that didn't hit the level on the RADIO STATIONS that should have, sad.
This is the PERFECT video for this song. Whover did this is an artist. These were the exact kind of images in my mind as I listened to this song as a child.
Beautiful video for a beautiful piece of music, well done! Duran Duran opened their Seattle show in 1984 with this music, as the lights were still down and the crowd went NUTS in the dark listening to this..great memory.
THIS is the original!!!!! Oh thank you for this!!! I had Seven and the Ragged Tiger on vinyl until I lost it in a house fire ..... I always found this was such a beautiful song to listen to during a thunderstorm 🥰🎶👍
Beautiful vid. I love love love this song. Laying on my bed in boarding school getting lost with my Walkman to Duran...The beauty of this breaks my heart today even still. The sax riff floating along with the keyboard takes me away to a sweet and sad place.
@@julianaferrone8734 - Yes. I created the video, and did all the editing, which is composed mostly of stock footage and some custom graphics and composite images.
That is an incredible series of images, the music fits the narrative. Great effects from fire to lips to monastery becoming blue-green. Did Duran know?
@@julianaferrone8734 - Thank you. I met Simon, Nick and John as the Notorious record release party at The Limelight in Chicago back in the day, but otherwise no. Just a big fan from 81 onward.
Thanks. One of the the things I tried to do throughout the video is make every cut or timed element fall on the beat. Even the toe kicking up dust off the matted floor at ua-cam.com/video/T1BkFWK7k-k/v-deo.html timed to the first bass note in the track.
This is awesome. This visuals here are astounding, and the editing paces the song beautifully. Thank you for paying tribute to such an underrated track.
2023 Marcelo, ainda aqui estou a ouvir, enorme abraço daqui deste lado do atlantico, de Portugal! espero que estejas bem, tu e a tua familia toda! abração meu irmão!
Love this song! Brings back memories when I had my rhythm lights hooked up to my stereo, it would have different colors for bass, midtones, and treble. I played this in the dark with the rhythm lights....was sooo trippy.😁😁
40 years on and still enjoying Tiger Tiger.

Same here, back then listening through a Sony Walkman - pure heaven 😊
This should be the official music video. This is absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you for the kind words. It actually means a lot that people feel it has the quality of the early Duran (aka Russell Mulcahy style) videos, which was the intention.
@@lestatdelc Dude, you understood the assignment PERFECTLY. My mind is completely blown.
Wonderful video, perfect for the song. Until I read the comments, I assumed this was an official video.
I remember how exotic this song was to me.
The band really showed how worldly their music is.
As a lifelong Duranie...this is AMAZING beyond words!
Thank you you for your kind words.
Another Duranie here.....yup❤️
AMEN!!!
Its Pretty Special Aye...
Another Durannie here!
What a great sound.
This is Duran Duran at its best. Thank you Simon, Andy, Roger, Nick and John for your great catalogue of music
for over 40 years.
I am Brazilian, and I'm a Duranie since 1983 when I heard Save a Prayer. I was 15 then...
Hunny, I've been a Duranie since 1981..John Taylor is my soul mate!

Still gives me chills to this day.

I could listen to this song for hours and never get tired of it. Xxxxx
My favorite Duran Duran jam, it evokes a gorgeous hallucination of an exotic paradise somewhere far away. This video captures that impression well...

Thank you very much. I did indeed put effort into capturing that aesthetic. Glad it came across that way.
I love Duran Duran
Nick Rhodes is an amazing studio producer. One of my favorites, as a lifelong DD fan since 1981.
I want this to be my wedding song....... As I walk up the aisle.....
Amo i Duran e questo pezzo...quanti ricordi
Amo este tema!!!! Impresionante 👏👏👌👏 Espectacular. Bello q más decir!!!!!
Muchas gracias por las bonitas palabras. Me alegro que hayas disfrutado.
One of The Most Interesting 1980´s Songs
I still have the cassette. Total genius song writing.
I concur. I never tire of this track.

Eerie beginning like to a film, yet rockable
This song as well as all of Duran Duran's music is an Art Of Work, beautiful. xx
