![]() It was also fantastic to hear ‘Is There Something I Should Know?’ which was a welcome addition to the set. This was an assured and bold performance which segued into the extravagant ‘Wild Boys’ which had the crowd on their feet was a triumph and the accompanying visual effects were stunning.įor the Duran Duran stans, there were a couple of sonic surprises, namely in the shape of ‘Last Chance On The Stairway’ from 1982’s ‘Rio’ which the group hadn’t played in 15 years which was a stunning rendition. Kicking off proceedings with an understated version of ‘Nightboat’ from their eponymous debut album from 1981, the band dramatically appeared via a futuristic CGI spaceship on the big screens, preparing for a futuristic voyage to earth from outer space, made their way on to the stage for the first London date of their ‘Future Past’ tour. With striking visuals throughout, including a smorgasbord of old photos, newspaper cuttings and magazine covers from the eighties with the band emblazoned on them at the height of their fame, this was a nostalgic walk through their extensive back catalogue. Ably supported by Lia Lia and the magnificent Jake Shears who was resplendent in a sparkly jumpsuit who got the party started with an effervescent set which included tracks from his forthcoming second album and some Scissor Sisters classics, the O2 was ready to dance and Duran Duran didn’t disappoint one iota.
