DURAN DURAN/ERASURE July 31st, 1987 Shoreline

This is effectively my very 1st concert. The Erasure setlist might be slightly wrong. I remember some dudes in front of us were there for Erasure, going crazy while the majority of the venue didn't know them. I knew 5 of the songs as I was already a big Live 105 listener and they were very early supporters of Erasure. Speaking of Live 105, Steve Masters was MC of the show. Also, it's probable that the last 2 or 3 songs Duran performed were an encore but there's no notation of such so I'm not sure. Also of interest is how many songs they did from their then new album Notorious. This was their first tour after losing 2 original members - Andy and Roger. Warren was on guitar but not officially a member of the band yet. Both their off-shoot projects (Arcadia and Power Station) would be represented but then forgotten for over a decade in their live sets. As I said, this was my 1st concert. My 2nd concert would occur exactly one week later....

RETRO FUTURA 2018 SETLIST

This was an awesome concert of several 80s acts who were both retro (from the 80s) yet their sounds all were part of a wave of new music that had an undeniable influence on so many modern rock acts (that have now splintered into a gazillion different names but I still think of them all as just modern rock - which for me predates the term 'alternative' but now I'm off on a tangent so let's just get to the acts and the songs)
