Duran Duran treated fans to a memorable evening of music during a benefit concert at the Guild Theatre in Menlo Park.
Someone referred to it as “the biggest show in the history of Menlo Park.”Either way, it sure was cool to get to see Duran Duran — an act that is typically found rocking arenas — play before some 500 lucky fans at the Guild Theatre on Saturday .
“It’s a lovely way to start the second leg of the North American tour,” vocalist Simon Le Bon said. to the adoring crowd. “And to do something useful.” The purpose of the visit was to raise money for the fight against prostrate cancer, a cause that has been very dear to these Rock and Roll Hall of Famers’ hearts ever since Andy Taylor — the band’s former guitarist — revealed he had been diagnosed with stage 4 prostrate cancer some years back. Money raised at the event went to the U.K.-based charity the Cancer Awareness Trust.
Duran Duran did, however, get off to a bit slow start in the 100-minute set, opening with the most lackluster song of the night — “Night Boat” — before quickly shifting into much higher gear with the fan favorite “Wild Boys.” The band was definitely feeling generous with the greatest hits material early on, moving from “Wild Boys” into the classic “Hungry Like The Wolf” and then following up with a powerful take on “A View to a Kill” and the popular title track to the group’s fourth studio album, 1986’s “Notorious.”
