Only been to one concert so far- Atlantic City, October 28, 2011. That was the night the weather in the northeast US was so awful and they didn't know if they were gonna be able to go on.

I have a question about the Royal Albert Hall performance. I always heard that that was a tribute concert for John Lennon and that it was in 1991 :-)
Is this the same concert where they also played DYBIS? and Gimme Some Truth? And what was the Lennon connection for this show?

I always heard that that was a tribute concert for John Lennon and that it was in 1991 :-) Is this the same concert where they also played DYBIS? and Gimme Some Truth? And what was the Lennon connection for this show? The event was billed as 'Jerusalem for Reconcilliation' and was organised by British actress Vanessa Redgrave, in aid of UNICEF. It was a charity function in aid of the children of the Middle East. There was no connection to John Lennon. It was a song with lyrics that appealed to Duran Duran and was appropriate for the evening. Perhaps they may have put it on the burner with a possible release on a covers album or maybe using it instead of Femme Fatale on TWA. Who knows? The target audience was very much the rich and famous and I did feel out of sorts rubbing shoulders with all the wealthy people that attended. Staff were walking around dressed up and carrying all sorts of containers for people to put their donations in. I was only there to cover the evening for the Duran fanzine. The tickets were £25 and that was back then in, as you correctly advised, 1991! I've added a photo of the ticket and performance. Photo credit: John Archbell (Me!). Yes, the songs were as you say. Chrissie Hynde also performed. I have the programme somewhere... I like those photos!! Thanks for sharing!
