DVD Description
In 1984, Duran Duran toured Canada and the United States. It was their first major tour as headliners in these two countries. Over 79 days they travelled approximately 18,000 miles and played 51 shows in 43 cities to over 550,000 fans. The entire tour was filmed for this behind the scenes documentary which offers some fascinating and intriguing glimpses into the fun, glamour, agony, ecstasy and ultimate glory of three months on the road.

The band is shown thriving on the pressures, psyching themselves up pre-stage and then delivering their all to a thunderous response. The production manager, tour manager and road crew are frequently caught fraught with last minute panics and touring nerves. Hoards of hysterical fans are seen chasing down and beating on the band’s limo and with a camera placed inside the car it gives the viewer an insight into how loud and sinister that must have been. And in between all of this comes the great music.

Sing Blue Silver captures the excitement and hysteria that was, and still is, the live Duran Duran experience.

Customer Reviews

More Documentary than I expected but I guess it pays to read....
.....the cover and the reviews properly!

The documentary is indeed very good, (despite the many glimpses of fainting females!) but there is too little music, in my opinion.

Surprisingly disappointing as this documentary takes centre stage
rather than the music.

Generally classed as a 'watch once' item, which makes the package on the expensive side.

The title 'Sing Blue Silver' comes from the track 'The Chauffeur', which, sadly, has limited air-play on the DVD itself.
However you do get a rather swish draylon-type cover on your DVD!
Overall, check if your local library has a copy before commiting yourself to a purchase!

Duran Duran - Sing Blue Silver
I remember watching this on T.V years ago and had it taped, so it's nice to see it released on DVD at last. It's a good chance to see the guys back stage and what they got up to. A must for any big duranie fan.
