After all those years Duran Duran came back to Vienna for a concert. Though the location was not my favourite one (Bank Austria Halle at Gasometer - far out and far from brillian acoustics), last time I'd seen them in the Stadthalle near the city centre, I so much enjoyed the show: a proper life concert, old and new songs, great involvement of the band, interaction with fans had me and the other fans singing, dancing, shaking like a mad house. As proper kids of the 80ies everybody seemed to totally ignore the invite to tweet during the concert! The set list included many of the old favs and quite a couple of new songs. The only thing I really missed was Save a Prayer. Two hours later I knew for sure that time travel works & is so rejuvenating. Duran Duran took us back to the 80ies, and left all their fans happy feeling two decades younger (at least!).
