Charlotte 1987 is an unofficial Duran Duran live album, recorded during The Strange Behaviour Tour at the Charlotte Coliseum in Charlotte, NC, USA on 15 July 1987.

About the albumEdit

The album is a recording of Duran Duran's performance at the Charlotte Coliseum, a 23,780 capacity venue located at 100 Paul Buck Boulevard. This was the only show performed in the state of North Carolina on the tour.

The evening began at 8:00pm with English synthpop duo Erasure, who performed a set featuring songs from their latest album The Circus.

Led by lead singer Simon Le Bon, Duran Duran's ten-strong ensemble opened with "A View to a Kill", a song played at Live Aid several years earlier when the world watched.

With the stage sparse on gadgets, the band got a loud response from the crowd when they followed with the funky "Notorious".

During the evening, Duran Duran played a cross section from their catalogue of material, including seven songs from their latest release Notorious.

The band closed the show with a reggae version of "The Reflex".

Tickets for the event cost around $15.50.
