Duran Duran,Chic,Nile Rodgers Duran Duran Chic/Tokyo,Japan 2017

The live performance at Nippon Budokan on September 20th, which was the highlight of the 2017 Japan tour, which was their first visit to Japan in nine years, was recorded completely in high quality audience recording, including the opening performance by Chic & Nile Rodgers. The sound of the entire show, which lasted more than three hours in total, was recorded in perfect balance. First, the opening performance by CHIC, led by Nile Rodgers, included not only the original disco anthem, but also Diana Ross’s “I’m Coming Out / Upside Down”, Sister Sledge’s “We Are Family”, Bowie’s “Let’s Dance”, Madonna’s “Like A Virgin”, DAFT PUNK’s “Get Lucky”, and other hit tunes that Nile has produced, and the venue was already at its MAX in a groovy and funky hour. And the main act, DURANx2, of course performed plenty of representative songs from the 80s, but also performed six songs from the 2015 release “PAPER GODS”. In addition, “(Reach Up for the) Sunrise” from “ASTRONAUT” and “Come Undon”, “White Lines”, and “Ordinary World” from the 90s were featured, making this a stage that is both ongoing and historical. “Love Voodoo” is a rare number that almost seems to have time warped from the 90s, and the highlights were “Notorious” and “Pressure Off”, where Nile Rodgers appeared again, and since it was his 65th birthday the day before, he sang a birthday song for the whole venue, and performed these two songs with a sharp guitar. As a limited memorial item of the 2017 Japan tour, this is a must-have collector’s edition for fans. Disc 1 : (CHIC feat. NILE RODGERS) : 1. Intro 2. Everybody Dance (Chic cover) 3.
