Duran Duran Rocks Chastain!

What a great nite at Chastain!  The rain went away and Duran Duran came to play! I think the band knew the new material threw them and the crowd off a little last year so this time they came to war.  Still played some great songs from All You Need is Now but this truly was a greatest hits extravaganza.  The brothers Taylor cranked the rythm section up to the max and the rest of the band followed.  Simon sang his butt off and as he reminded the crowd, this was their third show in little more than a year here, they truly love the ATL.

Here's the setlist:

Before the Rain

A View to a Kill

All You Need Is Now
