If you were to ask Nile Rodgers what CHIC was, he'd say, 'R&B, funk, soul, jazz, blues, disco ... FUNK, SOUL, DISCO,' and that's the heat the band brought to Fort Worth on Wednesday night.
The biggest banter of the night came from CHIC's bassist, who hyped up the crowd with:"I heard the party was here, not Houston, not New York, not Los Angeles ... Fort Worth.The crowd waited until the band wrapped up the set with"Le Freak." The party had just started.Starting with"Velvet Newton" from their latest album,before evolving into"Wild Boys," Duran Duran danced across the stage, waving at the crowd, all smiles.
The original four lads — Simon Le Bon, John Taylor, Nick Rhodes and Roger Taylor— are joined on this tour by Dominic Brown on guitar, replacing Andy Taylor, and Simon Willescroft on saxophone. The sold-out crowd danced and yelled across a nearly two-hour, 20-song set that didn't let up for a second.Even during their slow tracks such as"Ordinary World," LeBon twirled across the stage, crooning to audience members as they held up their cellphone lights.
"You guys blow Madison Square Garden out of the water. It's a Tuesday night; you have me feeling like it's Saturday," he said. The stage's back screen played a montage of old photos and video footage during"Hold Back The Rain." The set closed with"Girls on Film," slowing it down with"Save a Prayer," then hitting us with the ever-memorable"Rio."
The energy never ran out. In white blazers, matching trainers and leather pants, the"Wild Boys" brought '80s glam to Fort Worth and reminded everyone that Duran Duran was always here to stay.Vera"Velma" Hernandez
