I saw them in National Harbor in 2017 and while they were great as always then, last night they were a hundred times better. Then came the boys! They are truly at their best. Knew a lot more of their songs than I thought and they were an incredible live performance. Then came Bastille which I wasn’t too familiar with but had a great time when they were on stage. It’s incredible the talent Rodgers has and his influence in the music industry. Amazing! Where to even start? First was Nile Rodgers and Chic and I cannot express how much of an energetic and quality show that was! Their part had so much energy to it that I feared to run out steam for the rest of the concert. Chula Vista, CA North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre To add to this, they try really hard to charge you for every possible add on they can: VIP parking, easy exit parking (proving normal parking is a trap), skip the line, etc. I really wish most bands would consider the SDSU Open Air theater instead. I had my kids with me, and they were tired before Duran even started.įinally, I cannot avoid a rant about the venue: this amphitheater is nice once you make it, but driving from north San Diego at 6:00 is horrible, access to the venue is as bad as it gets, and you better be prepared to leave a bit early unless you can tolerate being stuck in the parking lot for over an hour on the way out. Frankly, I would have preferred to see more of Duran Duran instead. Instead, he was adamant to prove how famous he is by explaining several times that he produced Madonna, David Bowie and others and he decided he had to play covers of Like a virgin, Material Girl, Modern world and Let's dance. However, I think he should have played 4-6 disco songs from Chic and leave it there. I was excited to see Nile Rodgers with Chic. As a big fan of their (completely absent) newer music, I wish they had play some. I'm a huge fan of them and I love their latest music, which was completely ignored in this concert. If you like all the other albums, it is a bit disappointing. This time, I have a couple of things that I found a bit disappointing:Ħ songs from their first album, 4 from their second, 1 from their third, 1 from their fourth, 2 from their 7th, 1 from their 8th, 1 from their last and a couple of singles. Ultimately, Red Rocks is the absolute best venue in the world! This was my first time to visit, and it did NOT disappoint! Even the 15-minute rain shower couldn't dampen anyone's spirits!Īll in all, the entire experience was one not to be forgotten, and it never will be! Morrison, CO Red Rocks AmphitheatreĪs always, Duran Duran rocks live and I love all their music. Everything was spectacular, and I can only say that I hope they were recording for a future live video release! And to say that they haven't missed a beat is an understatement! Not one note was in error. What a treat they were!įinally, Duran Duran comes down in a virtual spaceship and blew everyone away! Followed by "Hungry Like the Wolf" and a host of other 80s hits, intermingled with later music and their newest soon-to-be hits, the musical talent and showmanship is unrivaled. but I very much enjoyed their set, as well, and will be looking up their music to download. and honestly, I only knew of them through others. Nile Rodgers and Chic were absolutely amazing! So many songs he has written and produced that many fans weren't aware of! Not only did they play what we would expect to hear, but so many other famous toe-tapping tunes! What a way to start the evening!
