Last weekend, we finished our latest series of questions. In this case, we asked fans to select songs that represented each of Duran Duran tours. We went one tour at a time and picked a song. Now is the time to share the complete results.
First Shows/1981 Tour
The result for these sets of shows was the same and a probably obvious choice!
Rio Tour
Like the previous tours, the choice for the song that best represents this era is also obvious!
Sing Blue Silver Tour
I found the song chosen for this iconic tour to be an interesting one as fans chose The Reflex. While that song was huge in 1984, I was just surprised since the only time it was played during the documentary about this tour was for a sound check.
Strange Behaviour Tour
I was not surprised by this one!
Big Live Thing Tour
Much like the previous tours, fans selected a single from the album that this tour supported.
No Ordinary Tour
I really liked the song that people chose to represent the tours surrounding the Wedding Album!
Thank You Promo Tour
Again, this song was pretty predictable when it comes to the shows played to promote the band’s album of cover songs.
Ultra Chrome Latex and Steel Tour
This tour accompanied the first album without a Taylor. That said, this song makes reference to the band’s beginnings.
Pop Trash Tour
If there is any song and any performance that could be considered memorable, it would be this one!
Astronaut Tour
For many of us, this song represents not only this tour but the reunion!
Red Carpet Massacre Tour
This song is one that many fans think the band should have released as a single during this era.
All You Need Is Now Tour
This song was the title track and one that many miss hearing live now.
Paper Gods Tour
This song was a definite fun one, especially with the confetti!
So what do you all think? Do these songs represent Duran’s various tours? Are there changes you would have made?
On a different note, should we continue with the questions of the week? If so, is there a question you would like us to ask?
