Hello,
I am hoping to hear from anyone who attended one of Duran Duran's earliest gigs in Birmingham or the surrounding area (see list below). I'd like to learn what the experience was like - the emotion, how it felt to see this new band onstage, maybe even how the audience was reacting. This is for a project I am working on in the wake of my first book, "Beautiful Colors: The Posters of Duran Duran." Any contributions would be deeply appreciated! Thank you.
