My buying experience has been an excellent one and the DVD I purchased played flawlessly, even on my old laptop I am using. It is AMAZING! Not only does it have the wonderful concert I remember seeing years ago, it has two Top of the Pops performances I have never seen, plus several music videos, and what isn’t a music video so much as a mini-movie of “New Moon on Monday” that I have not only have never seen, but never even knew it existed, and it is fantastic! Overall, my experience with MVR is such that I will definitely be checking out their web site to see what else is available of DURAN DURAN on DVD. 'Raphael was the genius,' asserts Ian Little. I got it extremely fast, and I watched it all the way through right away. In addition to tracking the drums, bass, rhythm guitars, key melodic guitars, synths and backing vocals for 'The Reflex' at AIR Montserrat, percussion was also provided by way of Nick Rhodes' keyboards and the ingenuity of one Raphael Dejesus. I did a search on the internet for a DVD of it and found MVR’s web site. I am SO THRILLED that I found this Duran Duran DVD! I saw this concert on either Cinemax or HBO back in the eighties and never forgot it, but I only just recently found out the name to even look for it. The Reflex (“Top Of The Pops” TV Performance) Is There Something I Should Know? (“Top Of The Pops” TV Performance)ġ9. So if you’re looking for only the DVD from the deluxe edition of “Seven And The ragged Tiger” then you’re at the right place. Apart from a double CD and DVD Deluxe edition, this concert was never released on any consumer video media thus far. The “short version” excludes a few songs. The concert was also shown on British television channel ITV, on the 30th December 1984 at 1700 hours. What is offered here is THE VERY FIRST FINAL VERSION of this concert also known as the “North American Version” A shorter version of this concert was first aired on the Cinemax cable television channel, and later on MTV and other music channels interspersed with commercials. “As The Lights Go Down” is essentially the Arena video with only the music and none of the additional imagery created by Director Russell Mulcahey, although the live footage for many songs was edited differently. The name comes from a lyric in the song “Shadows On Your Side” from the Seven and the Ragged Tiger album. Duran Duran’s Oakland, California concerts that were filmed for the Arena (An Absurd Notion) movie were also edited to form the one-hour “As The Lights Go Down” concert video recorded August 16th 1984.
