John Taylor on bass! He was always one of my favorite bassists! Duran Duran will always be a great band!
John Taylor is a beautiful man!
I was SO in love with him, I think I was 12 years old...lol
John was my first crush and I had his pic all on my bedroom walls.
He was a great bassist too.
God, I think Simon was wacked out on something that day. I remember when he hit that major clunker in "View to a Kill" and thinking...what the F Was THAT????
All right
Love how Andy's guitar is a little louder in the mix in this live performance.
I love it too! Shine on Andy!
Andy's guitar was always up louder in the mix when they played live. The main reason for liking them live over the records.
So cool!😎
Wow what a performance! Andy Taylor is a beast on that guitar! :D
Andy always a rocker love it
I'm a lifelong drummer and Hard Rocker. I've always appreciated these guys. Very talented with guts to be different. They ran up their Flag and it paid off.
Very well said
Just saw them in concert 3 weeks ago
These boys can play for sure
The sound in this concert wasn't good and the bass was off, this one is much better: ua-cam.com/video/28yUGMb1pv4/v-deo.html
I grew up a Metal Head but I have to admit that these Guys have a ton of talent 🙏
Union of the snake is on the ground🎵👍✨😜They reunioned about a decade ago, my Mom said to watch the TV show, "Oh, just in order to make big money!" We went to their live performance at local live house, too! 👍✨🎵
Simon looks like Elvis
He sure does I was thinking the same thing.
Loathes the comparison.
Yup, that's what I was thinking!!
Damn, I always say this (at Live Aid) and I finally found the someone who thinks the same 😆👌👊
100%
Wow - we were so blessed by this bands talent!!!!!!!
I really love their performance here in this song..... I remember their 1984 US "As the lights go down" tour.....
a VERY underrated set....everybody was sorta looking past them, except for the MTV-kids. But in my opinion, they turned in one of the better sets in the whole deal. And it sorta confirmed the obvious for me...that they are a LOT better, live..than they are on wax.
Duran great band forever
Love Andy's look here! He was full on metal Andy 🤟🎸🎶
duran duran has never ever been "metal" they copied the mainstream rockers who had more hits and more plays on MTV, and they got paid for being the followers.
@@mattbingham2856 he's talking about Andy's look, and Duran Duran never "copied" anyone musically.
OMG !! Simón lebon is so beatifull
He's handsome man...
I think he's gotten more handsome with age!
With his songs and this i was passing my young life 📽️🐍📀🎶✔️
Let's all be fair here that day was a hot day and with a crowd of thousands he was tired but he still tried he was good he is always good
90000 in the audience
They hadn’t performed together in a year.
I agree...and Queen called their light rig The Pizza oven for good reason... heat dries up the vocals.
Like we cared anyway. I was so excited to see them live!
AMAZING PERFORMANCE !
SIMON SINGS LIVE PERFECTLY
ITALY LOVES DURAN DURAN
One of my fav songs from my youth
Mine too... I was 11... 😊❤
OMG! This is Fantastic! Love Duran Duran Songs! Congratulations Duran Duran!
A couple of comments about Duran Duran at Live Aid '85...
The band hadn't played a live gig together for many months. The together-ness of the group was gone. They arrived and left the stadium separately.
Nick, Simon and Roger had black hair as they were still in their gothic 'Arcadia' mode.
John and Andy were big cocaine users at the time, but they held it together enough to do a second Live Aid performance after Duran Duran as 'The Power Station'. The split into two separate camps (Arcadia and Power Station) indicates the level of fracturing that had taken place between them.
Andy was angry at the band throughout this whole time, and Roger was _over_ the whole fame thing... but at least Simon's clothes were beautiful in this show... who made those jackets for them? (Nick had a similar one in mist-grey which he wore in an advertisement for Roland synthesizers.)
Isn't or wasn't Andy Taylor forever at loggerheads with the rest??????
@@rojaktar3509 yes, I think so. Andy wanted a more 'rock' approach and sound with their music, not the stuff that Nick wrote for the band. Nick really was the bandleader and composed most of it.
AWESOME song, performance, and singer I've underappreciated for decades...... I heard this in a vintage T-shirt shop on Santa Monica Blvd. in Hollyweird a few years ago.
Every time I hear it I get a pleasant deja vu........ :) Also happened with The Fixx...... I actually used to HATE "One Thing Leads to Another" because it got to be like the FM station put it on loop mode with an occasional commercial. Same with Steve Miller....... The Joker. Fly Like an Eagle. The other several songs....... overplayed to death and way beyond...... alright already I got it on the 19,374th time ya played it...... today.......
This singer's voice was definitely distinctive, and quite powerful.
A performance that you never saw this day!
Historic live ever.....
I remember watching this on TV and crying, because couldn't go 💓🙌😍
Andy Taylor is the best guitarist i have ever knwon
Esagerato
@@susannahandrews3786 pas du tout
He's so good he managed to get Robert Plant to sing "Stairway to Heaven"
simons energy tho- i love this guy
They were terrific! John Taylor smoking on the bass!
Union of the snake!! Bellissima canzone e bei ricordi degli anni 80! Grandi Duran Duran in grande forma
Grandissima forma e senza essersi preparati come storia ben dice in merito all 'evento. Duran forever👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Per giunta questa esibizione è molto più grintosa per via del tono più rock essendo i sintetizzatori molto più bassi della versione studio e la chitarra più presente per non parlare del fatto che il sassofono è molto più presente che in studio (dove fa solo l’assolo) e accompagna anche il cantato.
Nowdays we would see at least one drum machine, here there are a drum and two percussionists...when music was played 😢
Simon is giving me young Elvis energy!
100%
Great to see Andy tearing it up.
MrBlueberry81 Such an underrated guitar player. His guitar parts are so good.
Luvvvvvvv Andy Taylor;
True professionals....👍👌✊
I really wish they didn't have tech difficulties. The bass cut off, the mic and sound stuff where really bad. This probably ticked off the band while playing, specially simon, besides the other problems they already had
Andy is such an underrated singer.
C o i s a F i n a 👏🏼
Excellent performance, he was 80's Salt Lake. They were always on the radio, he was first name only.
This is rare ...they barely ever sing this ...my fave
Nick Rhodes said it was difficult to play _'Union'_ live in concert -- his synthesiser parts were complicated and involved.
The song was brand new when Live Aid happened so they kinda had to play it even though it's a hard song to do live.
I just went to their concert. They didn't play this or New Moon 😢
@@mikemitchell5994on certain occasions they play Union on the Snak these days. New Moon on Monday never played again, they only sang a small part of the chorus. I so wanted New Moon on Monday, The Seventh Stranger and Shadows on Your Side to be played live again. They are one of the best in SATRT and among several
Una gran performance de una gran cancion para un gran evento, eso solo lo hace duran duran
Andy Taylor looked real ‘party mode’ here...
He was into it. Lol
Iconic ❤️
Elvis dressed like MJ.
Hahaha
lol
El look de simon y nick es el de arcadia y de john y andy el de power station.
Telegram force and ready
I knew this was a big mistake
There's a fine line drawing
My senses together
And I think it's about to break
If I listen close I can hear them singers, oh
Voices in your body coming through on the radio
The union of the snake is on the climb
Moving up it's gonna race it's gonna break
Through the borderline
Nightshades on a warning
Give me strength at least give me a light
Give me anything even sympathy
There's a chance you could be right
If I listen close I can hear them singers, oh
Voices in your body coming through on the radio
The union of the snake is on the climb
Moving up it's gonna race it's gonna break
Through the borderline
The union of the snake is on the climb
Moving up it's gonna race it's gonna break
Through the borderline
If I listen close I can hear them singers, oh
Voices in your body coming through on the radio
The union of the snake is on the climb
Moving up it's gonna race it's gonna break
Through the borderline
The union of the snake is on the climb
It's gonna race, it's gonna break, it's gonna move up
Through the borderline
The union of the snake is on the climb
Moving up it's gonna race it's gonna break
Through the borderline
The union of the snake is on the climb
It's gonna race, it's gonna break, it's gonna move up
To the borderline
Never DID understand their classic hit lyrics-but that's even better
union of the snake duran duran me encanta el grupo musical
Andy is shre-d-d-ing!!!
Duran Duran were impossibly cool. Le Bon's outfit... the two backing singers...
Llenan el escenario totalmente 😍
Tengo 33 años soy del 87 pero nací con esta música y siempre me ha gustado y me siento parte de ella!!
Me habría encantado estar ahi, lástima que nací en el 92
OMG, NICK!
Just amazing!!!🎉
Simon is so different than in Band Aid 6 months before.
Getting his hair cut short and dyed black has a great deal to do with it.
What a band!.
E non si erano preparati.. Bellissima performance.. In culo ai critici di sempre.. Duran 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Albun lindo deles notorius

Top
What happened with the bass?? The song sounded empty
the bloody tech issues. felt bad for them. wembley live aid had much better sound :/
No bass sound....Andy saved this performance, but I think they shouldn't have performed without bass guitar.
Para mi el. Mejor tema de Durán Durán
Roger was tired of the teeny bopper fame. He just needed a break from it all. It turned out to be 20 years! But hey...good to have him back!
I see that "A View to A Kill" performance in Live Aid wasn't included. As Simon hit a bad note at one moment, which according to him is the most embarrassing thing he ever experienced. And Andy's frustration nod after that bad note is clear to see on camera. Either Simon asked it not to be inlcuded in DVD (like how Plant and Page asked not to include their shambolic performance), or the organizer decided so, is not important.
Y Love Duran Duran Brazil Belo Horizonte show fantastic in BH hall 2017 turnê welcome New show
4:12 mmmquéee hombre más divino!!!
The percussionist later went onto tour with pink floyd 87 to 94
Realy? His name is?
Simon was "off" here. But Simon at 70% is better than most of the live stuff now
The whole sound setup was squeaky during most of the songs, not ideal
Duran Duran is sooo good live, I saw them when I was 13, they are the best live!
Probably a bit drunk or high on something
They hadn’t performed live in a year. Also I heard the monitors weren’t dialed in.
@@resa.walters Keyboards, bass were mixed in way too low at the start, took Simon out of his space for a bit. They got it fixed for the most part but this song kind of suffered from the chaos of the sound systems.
I want A View to a Kill video tooooo
@@50milliondownthedraintonym16 yes and Simon sang out of tune 🤣
Pretty good considering they hadn't seen each other in a year. They all showed up and left separately. John was high, Andy was angry with the band, Roger was not happy at all.
They were annoyed with each other?
(I am not a big fan yet)
@@sholagagates833 the whole band was.
@@michellelovitte8455 and the bad sound in the concert haha
Roger is never happy
yeah it's pretty obvious from the drums its like roger forcing the peadls of the kick drum
Simón Le Bon es lindo, preciosisimoo o ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You beautiful 😍 Simon le Bon Brasil y Love Duran Duran 🇧🇷 Duran spetacular y Love Brasil muchos shows in Brasil.fantantcs
THIS is what happens when The Power Station meets Arcadia!
I’ve loved them every time I seen them in concert.
Break it through the bordeline❤
Anyone notice the bass goes out around 1:23.
No i listened to it twice and my ear phones arent cheap so???
just a few secs
He had problems with that rig, there's a bass dropout during "View To A Kill". for about 10 seconds just after 'the bum' note. He's looking back at the rig...he knows there's a problem.

John Taylor always sexy 🔥
Sexy...sexísimo!!!
듀란듀란 초전성기때네, Live Aid 이날 거의 준헤드라이너 ㅎㅎㅎ
Nick Rhodes looked like he’s typing at a business computer when he plays. Not saying he’s bad; he just looks that way to me!
Andy Rules 🇬🇧
The mic was squeaking. That had to have been annoying. Not Simon’s fault either.
What is Simon saying here and there when he's speaking in the song?
I can't make out the words, does anyone know?
I got "shore babe?"
Simon le bon used to go to drama schools in Coventry with the DJ journalist Jon gaunt
Does anyone know what happened to the bass after 1:20?
it fell out. probably technical difficulties. live aid is popular for their shitty set ups for the artists. that's why the mic is squeaking, bass was muted and the mics weren't properly adjusted. every artist who was there had the same problem.
What else is he saying when he starts speaking?
"Oh no not again"
I can't understand the rest...
2:27 playing real but the sound got mad
Simon was way off this night. Singing off key in moments and throwing in some weird improv lines like "Oh no not again!" That line is a Freudian Slip, I believe. Andy held this together by a string as the bass was non existent due to some tech flaws.
1. the sound tech was rubbish and so wasn’t their fault.
2. simon was on the verge of losing his voice.
3. they hadn’t played together for a long time as they were off doing other things.
-so i think simon held it together pretty well. felt bad for him.
@@j3ss75 That explains it all. They weren't on fire that day, but they are still awesome and I love them.
Was there no bass in the live mix due to tech difficulties?
@@j3ss75john was high as a kite here. Read his book.
@@tnt01 i have read it twice
Does anybody hear the BASS GUITAR sound here...?
🌱🌿☘️🌎🍀🌎☘️🌿🌱
I have always wondered what Simon sayd in the middle, after Oh no not again, Take cover, (something) to the world ooh and at the end before Was it shore to shore babe? Anyone understand it?
You can see john confused because his bass doesn't sound
Good to hear someone else noticed. There is hardly any keyboard or bass. But they look good except they are not smiling. Great band though, but I'm mostly here to admire John Taylors Phil Kubicki bass 😅
@@superviewer same, what a beauty of a bass isn't it?
