Nick talks about how it was only he who arrived at the Sri Lanka airpport when in fact it was both he and Andy who did that 4 hour drive on the flatbed truck. They came later because they both worked on final Rio album mixing and Nickie was wearing his leather trousers selective memory - shameful. Is it confirmed in Andy's book that they arrived together? There is a diary entry on the DD Wiki which says John and Andy arrived on the plane with Simon and Roger. If the flatbed story it true, then the diary entries must be bogus. Yup - Andy and Nickolas had a very colorful journey to the jhotel in Kandy. from the descriptions in Andy's book - he either was there as well or he has a pretty wild imagination about a 4 hour tripp thru a different worrld

It was not a secret event, it was just a private show, just like one they did on Sicily Italy after that. Where can I find a list of private shows? Never heard about Sicily? There is no list of private shows, i hear these things from the crew and other fans.

The diary entries always sounded fishy to me, so I'll move them from the DD Fandom Wiki Timeline. Where can I find a list of private shows? Never heard about Sicily? There is no list of private shows, i hear these things from the crew and other fans. Do you have a rough date. I added it to the timeline as May. I would guess Fri 6th or Sat 7th? duranduran.fandom.com/wiki/2022_-_May,_Sicily_Private_Show Towards the end of the video, you can see our good friend from Duranasty turn around - front seat! I noticed that as well. It was meant to bring fans together from everywhere, and quite a few turned up.

I find it interesting that the band sort of skimmed over the creative process question re: Medazzaland. Understandably John doesn't remember much because he had been spiralling for sometime before that and was in what he would probably consider to be rock bottom. Just find it interesting that the titbits Simon and Nick gave kind of juxtapose the information Anthony Resta has been divulging. Simon gave the impression he doesn't like the production. Not sure if that's retrospective or if that was always the case.
It's such a rich and dark album, it really deserves a proper "revisit" treatment. Need to hear more from Warren and ask Simon and Nick more specific questions.
