LONDON HAMMERSMITH ODEON JULY 9th, 1981
"The album is a recording of Duran Duran's performance at the Hammersmith Odeon, a 5, 039 capacity venue loc...ated at 45 Queen Caroline Street in London. This was the ninth of eleven shows performed in the UK on the tour.
On 29 June 1981, Duran Duran started their Faster Than Light Tour from Brighton, UK. Decadent Durantics was recorded 10 days later.
The album is the oldest complete Duran Duran show available. A double 12" vinyl version was released in the 1980s, which wasn't in soundboard quality.
The recording includes "Tel Aviv", an instrument used as the intro to the show. "Girls on Film" was performed as a Night Version for the encore. There is also an early version of "My Own Way", with different and incomplete lyrics.
"Like An Angel" is a rare live version. Near the end of the show, Duran Duran performed a cover version The Isley Brothers' song "Tell Me It's Just A Rumor Baby", which is listed in the track listing as "Just Got a Groove On"."
