The Reflex…Duran Duran Still Makes me Squeal

October 19, 2011

Monday morning, I was telling some coworkers how much I’d like to see Duran Duran in concert.  Twelve hours later, I indeed was the chick going bat caca crazy when Simon Le Bon bounded on stage.

Prior to the summer, it had been YEARS since I attended a concert that wasn’t part of Penn’s Landing summer series or a free standing room only event.

Thanks to Twitter and my Social Media Moms, I have seen Kem and The Bangles.  Now I can add Duran Duran to that list.

The warm up act was a group called Neon Trees.  Meh.  I was content to sit and wait for Duran Duran, but when the lead singer decided clarified we had another 40 minutes, I went in search of other ways to occupy my time. I met a couple from York who saw Amy Winehouse when she first came on the scene.  Then I met a fellow who wanted to discuss the Wall of Sound.

Smokers meet the most interesting people.

My throat and head STILL ache.  I present Duran Duran in concert.

As usual, please ignore my off key singing and screaming.

Social Media Moms, always working.

It was really cool.  If you followed the #hashtag duransocial and #duranlive, your tweet was flashed on the screen on stage, hence the smartphones lit up.

The crowd.
Rocking Out!

Simon Le Bon takes the stage.  

Random Dude.  Love his hat.

My sister loved his sideburns.

The crowd went f@#king nuts when they sand Rio.  I lost my voice at this point.

Now I need a-Ha, Spandau Ballet, and some other folks who show up regularly on VH-1 to hit the concert scene.
