"...unparalleled behind-the-scenes glimpse into life on the road with Duran Duran." — Classic Pop“Denis got to see a different side of the machine – he saw the cogs going around, and there were times when that wasn’t popular with everybody … Once we saw the photographs, however, we were able to appreciate the potency of it.”Simon Le BonWith chart hits charts like ‘Girls on Film’, ‘Hungry like a Wolf’, ‘Rio’ and ‘The Reflex’ and pioneering music videos, Duran Duran cemented their place as indisputable icons of the ’80s New Romantic music scene. Having sold over 100 million records, they continue to be one of the UK’s most popular bands.

It documents the excitement of the shows and the hysteria and mayhem that surrounded them.
