DURAN DURAN sent the new work “FUTURE PAST” to the 3rd place in the UK for the first time in 17 years. The latest video has arrived.
This work was shot in “London, December 2, 2021”. This is a multi-camera pro shot when he appeared on the BBC’s famous program “IN CONCERT”. The latest video, which was just delivered a few days before Hong, is now attracting attention from collectors all over the world. Although it was an incomplete version in the program, this work is a complete version that also includes “Tonight United” and “Save A Prayer” that had not been broadcast.
Currently, various bands / artists have overcome the new corona epidemic and started restarting, and DURAN DURAN is one of them. First, let’s check the position of the show from their recent situation.

● 2021
・ May 23: Appeared at Billboard Music Awards
・ August 31st-September 25th: Europe # 1 (7 performances)
・ October 3-10: Austin (3 performances)
“October 22” FUTURE PAST “released”
・ December 2: London performance ← ★ This work ★
● 2022
・ April 29: Performance on Ibiza Island
・ June 12-July 10: Europe # 2 (4 performances)

This is the 2021/2022 schedule that has been announced so far. To be honest, it’s quite small, but the current trend in Europe cannot be read. Until recently, various plans were announced as “full-scale recovery from the summer of 2022”, but it seems that it has become unclear again due to the re-expansion of mutant strains. Meanwhile, the appearance of IN CONCERT of this work was also scheduled for the last live in 2021.
This work that recorded such a show is truly superb. It’s natural because it’s the latest video of the prestigious BBC, but sound quality, image quality, mix, production, camera work … There is no other expression other than “Complete Official Grade Pro Shot”. This work does not require words in terms of quality, but it is unique in terms of content. It’s basically a concert format with spectators, but the site is the BBC’s internal hall. The stage is narrower than the regular performance, and the audience seats are close, giving a feeling of a closed room. On the other hand, the facilities for all kinds of program production are substantial, and it is more colorful than ever. The mood between “concert” and “studio live” is unique.
And what is more special than that mood is the show content itself. Let’s organize the set here.

● Future Past (6 songs)
・ Invisible (★) / All Of You (★) / Give It All Up (★) / Anniversary (★) / Hammerhead (★) / Tonight United
● Classics (9 songs)
・ Duran Duran: Planet Earth / Girls On Film
・ Rio: Hungry Like The Wolf / Save A Prayer
・ The Wedding Album: Come Undone / Ordinary World (★)
・ Others: Notorious / A View To A Kill / White Lines (Don’t Do It)
* Note: The “★” mark is a co-starring song with Graham Coxon.

…… And it looks like this. As mentioned at the beginning, there were only 13 songs in this broadcast, but this work also includes the remaining 2 songs “Tonight United” and “Save A Prayer” that were released separately. It completely covers all 15 songs played on the day.
And while the contents of the classics of the past were also shown, the core is the new song group of “FUTURE PAST” that has just been released. As mentioned above, the number of performances in 2021 is small, and all of them are rare songs that have only been played a few times. In particular, the three songs “All Of You,” “Give It All Up,” and “Hammerhead” are extremely rare songs whose broadcast is the world premiere. In addition, guests are also a point for this new song group. BLUR Graham Coxon who also participated in the album appeared. He will perform a gorgeous co-star with “Ordinary World” and five new songs.
Anyway, you can enjoy the latest live performance with the transcendental quality of the completely official class. It’s all about this. That is the semi-official work that I would like you to enjoy as a set as a video version of the new work “FUTURE PAST”. Please enjoy the full version beyond the main broadcast.

★ Multi-camera pro shot of “December 2, 2021 BBC IN CONCERT”. Only the latest professional shots of the prestigious BBC are of complete official quality, and “Tonight United” and “Save A Prayer” that were not broadcast in the program are additionally recorded. It is a complete version that you can enjoy all 15 songs played on the day with the ultimate quality. The new songs of “FUTURE PAST” are also shown, and especially the three songs “All Of You”, “Give It All Up” and “Hammerhead” are world premiere. That is a semi-official super masterpiece that I would like you to enjoy as a set as a video version of “FUTURE PAST”.

新作『FUTURE PAST』を17年ぶりとなる全英3位に送り込んだDURAN DURAN。その最新映像が到着です。
そんな本作が撮影されたのは「2021年12月2日ロンドン」。BBCの名物番組“IN CONCERT”に出演した際のマルチカメラ・プロショットです。ホンの数日前に配信されたばかりで、今まさに世界中のコレクターが注目している最新映像。番組では不完全版でしたが、本作は未放送だった「Tonight United」「Save A Prayer」も収録した完全版です。
現在、さまざまなバンド/アーティストが新型コロナ禍を乗り越えて再始動を始めましたが、DURAN DURANもそのひとつ。まずは、彼らの近況からショウのポジションを確かめてみましょう。

●2021年
・5月23日:Billboard Music Awards出演
・8月31日ー9月25日:欧州#1(7公演)
・10月3日ー10日:オースティン(3公演)
《10月22日『FUTURE PAST』発売》
・12月2日:ロンドン公演 ←★本作★
●2022年
・4月29日:イビサ島公演
・6月12日ー7月10日:欧州#2(4公演)

これが現在までに公表されている2021年/2022年のスケジュール。正直なところかなり小粒ではありますが、現在のヨーロッパはパンデミックの趨勢が読み切れない。最近までは「2022年夏から本格的に回復」としてさまざまな計画が発表されましたが、変異株の再拡大もあって再び不透明になってきたようです。そんな中で、本作のIN CONCERT出演は2021年最後のライヴ予定でもありました。
そんなショウを記録した本作は、まさに超・極上。名門BBCの最新映像なのですから当然ですが、音質・画質・ミックス・プロダクション・カメラワーク……ありとあわゆる視点で鉄壁。もう「完全オフィシャル級プロショット」以外の表現はありません。クオリティ面では言葉の要らない本作ですが、内容面では個性的。基本的には観客を入れたコンサート形式なのですが、その現場はBBCの局内ホール。通常公演よりもステージが狭く、客席も近くて密室感たっぷり。そのの反面、あらゆる番組演出に対応する設備は充実しており、いつにも増してカラフルでもある。まさに「コンサート」と「スタジオライヴ」の中間のようなムードが独特なのです。
そして、そのムード以上に特別なのがショウ内容そのもの。ここでそのセットを整理しておきましょう。

●フューチャー・パスト(6曲)
・Invisible(★)/All Of You(★)/Give It All Up(★)/Anniversary(★)/Hammerhead(★)/Tonight United
●クラシックス(9曲)
・デュラン・デュラン:Planet Earth/Girls On Film
・リオ:Hungry Like The Wolf/Save A Prayer
・ザ・ウェディング・アルバム:Come Undone/Ordinary World(★)
・その他:Notorious/A View To A Kill/White Lines (Don’t Do It)
※注:「★」印はグレアム・コクソンとの共演曲。

……と、このようになっています。冒頭で触れたように本放送は13曲だけでしたが、本作は別公開された残り2曲「Tonight United」「Save A Prayer」も収録。当日演奏された全15曲を完全網羅しています。
そして、その内容は往年のクラシックスも披露されつつ、軸となるのはリリースされたばかりの『FUTURE PAST』の新曲群。上記のように2021年は公演数が少なく、いずれもまだ数回しか演奏していないレア曲ばかり。特に3曲「All Of You」「Give It All Up」「Hammerhead」は、この放送がワールド・プレミアという激レア曲なのです。さらに、この新曲群はゲストもポイント。アルバムにも参加していたBLURグレアム・コクソンが登場。「Ordinary World」と新曲5曲で豪華共演を披露するのです。
とにもかくにも、完全オフィシャル級の超絶クオリティで最新ライヴを味わえる。コレに尽きます。それこそ新作『FUTURE PAST』の映像編としてセットで味わっていただきたい準オフィシャル作品。どうぞ、本放送を超える完全版でお楽しみください。

★「2021年12月2日BBC IN CONCERT」のマルチカメラ・プロショット。名門BBCの最新プロショットだけに完全オフィシャル級クオリティで、番組では放送されなかった「Tonight United」「Save A Prayer」も追加収録。当日演奏された全15曲を究極クオリティで楽しめる完全版です。『FUTURE PAST』の新曲も披露しており、特に3曲「All Of You」「Give It All Up」「Hammerhead」は、この放送がワールド・プレミア。それこそ『FUTURE PAST』の映像編としてセットで味わっていただきたい準オフィシャルの超傑作です。
