O2 Oxford Academy

O2 Oxford Academy is an unofficial Duran Duran 10-track live album, produced by Romanduran in 2011.

About the album
The album is an incomplete recording of Duran Duran's performance at the O2 Academy in Oxford, UK on 10 September 2011. This was the last of four pre-tour rehearsal shows staged at intimate venues across the UK, in advance of Duran Duran's upcoming US September dates and the rescheduled British performances of  The All You Need Is Now Tour that will kick off in late November.

Fans turned up to the venue from countries including Korea, Germany, Spain, Finland, Austria, Italy and the UK. Doors opened at approx 7:15pm and the band finally appeared on stage at around 9pm, to welcoming screams and cheers from the audience.

With Simon Le Bon wearing a casual white T-shirt and jacket, Duran Duran opened the show with four songs from their latest album All You Need Is Now. "Come Undone" from 1993 soon followed, before the band then played more new songs including "Safe". Le Bon asked the audience to sing along with the opening rap of "Safe", which Anna Ross performed (album version recorded by Ana Matronic).

During the evening the crowd pleasing "Shadows on Your Side" was played, which was followed by Le Bon commenting about an Italian fan's suntan and freckles, as an introduction to "Mediterranea".

The show finished with an encore featuring "Girl Panic!" and "Sunrise".

The bootleg is incomplete, missing eight songs from the setlist.

Romanduran produced the bootleg from Youtube recordings and designed the sleeve, which features live photos from the event. He is also credited with artwork production on a substancial amount of Duran Duran 2011 bootlegs.
