The synthesizer and pop vocals were very reminiscent of the 80s. Duran Duran played hits Rio, The Reflex, Save a Prayer & Hungry Like the Wolf. Duran Duran played a eighteen song setlist. It was great watching Simon Le Bon perform a cover song by Grandmaster Flash & Mel of White Lines (Don’t Don’t Do It). Duran Duran were enjoyable and very entertaining.
