I’m so jealous! I saw them a few months ago- it was such a great show. I’d love to go again. Some of the people there did look rather scary, though. We got a good laugh out of some of the ensembles people were sporting. ---

> [@Casey1505](#): > > What’s the name of that one song they sing? You sound like my SO. He actually made me sing a whole shwack of Duran Duran songs to him, to punish him for his baditoodidness. He’ll not make THAT mistake again! _Her name is Rio and she’s dancing on the sand, Her name is Rio and she runs the Rio Grande…_ ---

Polyester Satin, capezios and (because you’re an Alice as opposed to a Ralph): leg warmers. > [@Casey1505](#): > > What’s the name of that one song they sing? It’s snarky comments like that which gave me the opening I needed recommend the 1st thing that came to mind: [A pair of Peltors](http://www.landscapersupply.com/peltor-ear-muffs.jpg)😃 ---

Check out the JumboTron for snippets of their old videos if they’re still doing that. _Girls On Film_ had some very interesting scenes. _Reflex_ had a neat opening last time I saw them. ---

I saw them on March 30th at Turning Stone Casino in Verona, NY. They were excellent. Here’s the set list for that concert.

They played in town this past month. I _sooo_ wanted to surprise my wife, a self-described DD nut back in the day, with tickets, but the starting price of $55 was a little too rich for me. The review of the show in the paper was quite positive. I hope you have a disco-stomping time! I find it amusing, **alice** that you ask what to wear to a DD show, as that question would not even cross my mind, other than, “Oh I eed to get dressed!” when it was time to get ready. Different strokes and all that… ---

I took Jayjay to see them perform last year at the Tower Theater in Philly with a couple of friends of mine. During the concert, Simon mentioned that the last time they had performed as the original line-up was at Live-Aid. I think I may have the only audience member to have been at both. 🆒 ---

We went to see Duran Duran too, **Alice**. People may scoff, but they really were great. And Jim and I are both children of the 80’s, so we really enjoyed seeing a band that we were so familiar with so long ago.
