Duran Duran had become international superstars by the time they played this sold-out Madison Square Garden show in March of 1984. The group had seen enough success that they could now enhance their onstage presence with extra musicians and vocalists. The expanded line-up invariably changed the live sound of the band, and allowed the songs to sound closer to the full, layered versions heard on the records.

MARKETING & PROMOTION / SELLING POINTS

• Duran Duran had become international superstars by the time they played this sold-out Madison Square Garden show in March of 1984. The group had seen enough success that they could now enhance their onstage presence with extra musicians and vocalists. The expanded line-up invariably changed the live sound of the band, and allowed the songs to sound closer to the full, layered versions heard on the records.

• The group was promoting its 1983 release, “Seven And The Ragged Tiger”, which was produced by Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers. Two singles emerged from the record, ‘The Reflex’ and ‘Union Of The Snake,’ and five of the album's nine tracks are performed during this show. The rest of this set features the band's early hits, such as ‘Planet Earth’, ‘Hungry Like The Wolf’ and ‘Rio’.

• Broadcast live on FM Radio, and available here for the first time on vinyl, this stunning 2LP set will no doubt delight Duran Duran’s thousands of fans, still flying the flag for this pioneering collective.
