Duran Cologne is an unofficial Duran Duran live album, recorded during The Strange Behaviour Tour at the Sporthalle in Cologne, Germany on 6 April 1987.

About the albumEdit

The album is a recording of Duran Duran's performance at the Sporthalle, a 8,000 capacity venue which was primarily used for basketball in Cologne. This was the second of seven shows performed in Germany on the tour.

Duran Duran opened with their Bond-movie theme "A View To A Kill", a song first performed live at the 1985 Montreux Rock Festival in Switzerland.

On tour in support of their 4th studio album Notorious, the band followed with two songs from the new album including the brassy-funk sounding "American Science".

During the evening there was a back-to-back performance featuring the band related songs of "Election Day" and "Some Like It Hot". This combination later featured on The Big Live Thing Tour in 1989.

Duran Duran closed the show with "The Reflex", a no.1 hit single in various countries including the UK, USA and Canada.

Tickets for the event cost around 32 German Deutsche Marks.
