Can they just live broadcast the show by sound on Radio Linden? That way most of us can stay in other sims so that we won't lag the place.

In my travels in SL I have encountered a large number of users who are 'children of the 80's', as I am. This has the potential to be huge.

Wow, this will give SL the prestige of a second-tier amusement park. Personally, I'm holding out for Foreigner.

Simon Le Bon went WAY down in my estimation when I saw him on EasyJet, the cheapskate!! :) Actually it's pretty cool maybe the first of many?

OK come on, I get enough stick that SL is just full of 80's fallout without this too.

Awesome, can't wait to see this! (*hides the legwarmers that I actually owned in the 80's)

This is one of the absolute coolest things I have seen in SL.
Luna.. thank you for posting this! Suzanne Vega, Duran Duran... it is awesome to see this stuff happening.

Duran Duran really was cutting edge in the apex of their career. It is almost not surprising to see them jumping into the virtual realm. U2 is another band that is known to embrace the next wave of technology. How cool if they eventualy jump in too. :)

*breaks out live aid dvds* warming up for the big show....


BTW Nick says he hopes the Duranies will help to make the Island a cool place or something like that. Nick, if you read this thread you got one volunteer right here to help out anyway he can. :D
