When: 08 March 2012 (Thursday)
Where: 7he Sevens Stadium, Dubai
This has got to be one of the most memorable concerts I’ve ever been to! Simon’s voice still soars magnificently high!, and yes, when I bought my ticket, I knew they were going to play some classic Duran Duran songs, but… I never expected them to play loads (and I do mean loads!) of their greatest hits! Wowww! Was I blown away! Nostalgia at its finest!
Here’s the setlist:
1. Before the Rain
2. Planet Earth
3. A View to a Kill
4. All You need is Now
5. The Reflex
6. Come Undone
7. Safe
8. Notorious
9. Girl Panic
10. Tiger Tiger
11. White Lines
12. Ordinary World --> the band dedicated this to the current distressing crisis in Syria
13. Hungry like the Wolf
14. Sunrise
15. Wild Boys --> mashed up midway with Relax! by Frankie goes to Hollywood
16. Girls on Film --> *encore*- where Simon introduced the band members. Check this out- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i59Vv3PDZZc&feature=colike.
(thanks to hvarcegovac for the upload) “Play that funky bass, John! Play that funky bass, John!!!”. Too bad that the girl couldn’t think of a much better intro tailored for Simon! I bet she was too overwhelmed to even think of anything, haha! I would be too if I were her.
17. Rio --> seems the liveliest and loudest the crowd had been!, not knowing it was to be the last song
They didn’t play “Save a Prayer”, “Union of the Snake” and “Is there something I should know?” but, nahhh, I’m not complaining. I already got more than what I asked for! Heck, just staring at those bunch of good-looking “gods” onstage was enough to make my night! It sent me screaming and giggling and screaming all over again like a little high school girl throughout the concert, heh!
