John is adorable and incredible on that bass. Ughhhh

These guys were 20, 21, and 22 years old here. And they sound fantastic live.

This live version is so clear and so perfect. Duran Duran For Life Folks!

Incredible footage and NOT a lip-synch. Absolutely awesome performance of a young Duran Duran.

God bless my taste of music

can’t get enough of john, he looks so amazing playing, he’s always so into it😍

John is wow. Both musically and in looks 🔥🔥🔥

Afyer 42 years they still sing it and never sound old.. ohhhh! Just love the populat 80s waist-length jacket back then. I was 11 in 1981, now Im 53 and they are still rocking it.. Love uols DD....😊

As a teenager I was a huge fan of them but i did not have any technology at home to see them live. I swear I'm lerning NOW at the end of 2023 that thery were amazing performing live.

When Simon sang without doing vibrato at all. Great in any case.

The new "British invasion" as they stated back when....these guys wer e amazing! 🤙

0:14 Look at Nick Rhodes' hand uncontrollably shaking. He must have been so nervous. They were so new to television at this point.

The Fab Five at their best!

This is the Duran Duran I felt in love with.

This is the busiest I've ever seen Nick in a live setting. ;-)

Roger fenomenal toque de la batería que energía, fuerza ❤❤❤👍👍👍increíble baterista 💋💋💋💋

Always tight from Day 1 and always giving it everything they have... Stood the test of time, never stopped performing... and now they're in the RRHOF, well deserved !

Andy! 🎸👑

Bravissimi ,bellissimi e giovanissimi DD ❤️ Simon voce meravigliosa gia da allora e anche oggi .

I wish we could go back in times n appreciate the pop culture

I think it’s pretty obvious their producers and record company urged them to follow their sound on this fantastic song. The rest is history.

Roger Taylor is one of favorite drummers! John and Andy Taylor were both bad ass too! Great rhythm section! Wild Boys of pop rock!

I loved these guys, remember a girl in high school would invite me over after school and she would immerse me into it over and over. Wonderful, saw them in 93 and kravtiz opened for them.

And so the perfection began.

They killed it live!!!! Most can NOT do that! Amazzzing!!!!!!

Wow this is a very cool original live performance of Planet Earth! All the people sitting in the audience at that time, I wonder what they must have been thinking about DD. They were quite futuristic for that time in the early 80s. Although the song "Planet Earth" is about our planet, it has a very otherworldly sound as does the video of this song.

Oh john:p I♡You

John Taylor is good at bass guitar

Sound GREAT and they all look good there, even Andy.

Cadê os Brs ouvindo essa música em 2020?

GOD...I LOVED THIS SONG BACK THEN!!!!! YOU GOT LUCKY TO SEE THEM...THANKS FOR LETTING ME LIVE THE MEMORY THRU YOU!

look at that crowd !!!.............id be be freakin out !!!

I agree with you I miss Andy too he is an awesome guitarist he is unrated I want him back

Still one of the best videos i’ve ever seen. This whole set is!

They are just so amazing and gorgeous 🥰!!!

Qué grandes músicos siendo tan jóvenes 😍

Duranie present! I love This musical band!❤

Man; those were truly the days, like free-falling through space, w/ no discernible bottom below....

Increíble la calidad de vídeo

Thank you for sharing. The quality is great, a gift for all DD fans.

easily their best song

Bass line kicks arse 👍

I ❤ this song

Poor Nick, they never put him on camera, except for his hands on the keyboard......

Que joven y bello ya se veía simón Duran Duran que sonido

Baby DD en vivo!!! Por supuesto... Tenían que trascender... 2:46 Mmmcosssita más bella John apenas con 21 añitos, un muñequito!!! Hace ya 40 años de este éxito???... qué maravilla!!! 4:07

LOVE this! Thank u so much for sharing this magical early performance and such great quality footage. Entire DD fandom need to see this..they would be in 7th heaven!!!!

They were tight on this performance, audio prerfect

Perfection, period.

OK, pretend it's 1981 and you've never seen or heard of these guys before. What would you think? They're energetic, fashionable, virile and pretty. They sound a little like Roxy Music on speed.

Simon has never been the best vocalist, but oozes cool. Incredible stage presence. Although he has drastically improved. I suppose 40 years of practice helps.

Live and Incredible !!

Linnnnnda!! 1981 , eu tinha 9 anos!!! Viva Duran Duran!!

I love that I can see Nick's Crumar being played..

Love this! Great band!

Wow! At a dinner theatre! Very posh!

i like rum runner club veirsion better , but this is also great ... fan since 1978! early days i am from Croatia! ;)

Wow!!! Great!! Thanks a lot!!

Awesome....Thank you!!!!

Uhhhh............. is it just me? Or is that venue a formal dinner-type atmosphere? And here comes Duran Duran with their explosive bassist Mr. John Taylor and Simon at lead, just slaying Planet Earth hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!! So ironic and weird and totally awesome!!!!

Great song! Tks for shr

#DURANIEFOREVER 🎉 I FREAKIN LOVE THEM! 🔥🤗 #ANDYTAYLOR ❤

0:16 Nick is so nervous his hands are shaking crazy.

TOPS my Cat loves this song too,

Simon looks so fit.

Nick did not want to be seen so he morphed into the keyboard :p

Go Andy!

Andy was just a boy here.

Duran Duran still. Singing a long in 2023 timeless song Nick Nick have some peony’s 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐾🎹🎹🎹

Wow the quality of you're videos here is incredible considering the time! Did you post this whole thing up?

And the crowd goes mild!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

베이스싸운드 쥑이네!!!!

I like Simon's headband.

高校生の頃にコピーバンドでベースしてましたがジョンは当たり前のように指弾きだとばかり思ってたので指でコピーしてきつかったんですが、これ見るとピックで弾いてますね。(笑)

Haha, I can’t believe the crowd, all just sitting there?

Andy puts me in mind of Eddie Van Halen

uuuuffff

thanks for sharing that! i've never seen the full show before, only PE and AOT. can you tell me what the source was of this? did you rip a VHS or was it re-shown on TV? also what was the proper running order of the 4 songs? thanks again!!

I thought that also- until his birth date Gemini very close to my dad's- They-heed warning-Are Smart! Brain is not 1 dimentional- Dad (mine) worked on Werner Von Braun's rocket to the moon; It got there! That keyboard is his rocket! Yeeeaaah!

1981 I was there cool

watch out Generation x at its best 🎉 lock it up in a Time Capsule send it into the cosmos for eternity

Think this was on their first record. Very young here..lol

thot they wouldn't sound good live cos they were really deemed as shallow pretty boys back then.to me, this is still their best song

4:19 What is this place? Dinner Theatre?? Tough gig for a dance band.

I always felt that Simon's voice was just over the line in terms of tone and sometimes if he was tired, hungover or on a substance his voice would slip below the tone line. Still looked and sounded good though....
