Calendar pages
Hey Wombat -- great work going on, as usual!

I have some ideas about making pages like Timeline:Calendar/​26 March work, but I haven't finished yet -- can you please wait on creating any more of these? Thanks! — Catherine (talk) 15:17, April 3, 2010 (UTC)

Cat Club 1987
I have a short review if this show that appeared in Star Hits Magazine. It even has a picture !

71.167.1.46 12:40, November 4, 2010 (UTC)how can I get it to you ?

did you get it, did I do it right ?

concerts
I have seen them in '84 (MSG and Nassau Coliseum), 1987 (MSG and Beacon Theatre) 1988 (Roseland) 1989 (Nassau Coliseum and Radio City) 1993 (The Academy) 1999 (Jones Beach and Town Hall) and 2005 (MSG and Jones Beach)

I have stubs for all !

The only reason I missed the November 2007 shows in NYC was because I was pregnant (overdue, even !) and I didn't want to venture into the city from Long Island !

concert photos
I have a whole bunch of photos from 1987, how many can you handle ?, LOL !

Beacon Theatre August 31, 1987
I have an original flyer from their concert at the Beacon Theatre on August 31, 1987.

One of these flyers was placed on every seat in the theatre. It decscribes the work of the Association to Benefit Children, and how by attending that night's concert you were helping them to help others.

I have scanned it and added the picture.

I just wanted to give you all the info !

Lou Reed
We all knew we were in the presence of greatness the moment he walked out on stage. I am so glad that there was picture of it in the "Duran Duran World" book 'cause otherwise, I might have thought I dreamed it !

Hi from Ukraine!
Hello!

Thanks for your contributions to the site, I was interested to find non-trivial info about the band and its songs I enjoy listening. I'd like to ask you if the Wikia technology allows to upload audiofiles similarly to pictures? As fas as I know, this option is available on some wikiprojects and it would let a visitor download tracks easily from here. I understand that giving external references to song collections can be regarded as spam, so I'm wondering about your point of view or the policy about this if it exists. --Microcell 14:47, February 26, 2011 (UTC)

issues with early concert dates
hi,

i just wanted to let you know that your early duran gig flyers/posters have the wrong dates attributed to them.

the first duran gig was on april 5, 1979 and not 1978 as the common duran lore would tell you. i spoke at length with nick rhodes and john taylor about this and they agreed it was an error saying it was in 1978.

http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/?year=1978&country=9

http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/?year=1979&country=9

if you check those links, you can see that thursday april 5th was actually in 79 and not in 78. april 5th was on a wednesday in 1978.

as well, you can feel free to 'ask katy' as she knows all about it, we've worked on setting this straight for a few years now. i actually had a chat about it with nick a few weeks ago and he again reiterated that the early shows were in 1979 and not in 1978.

thanks for the good work,

d...

DD bootlegs
Hi, I would like to know where it is possible to find Duran Duran 's bootleg.

Catbirdman Rio
Have made two small edits regarding this article. Firstly Catbirdman's real name is Peter Beyer (I speak to him often) secondly have put in a credit for the artwork as the guy who makes it is also a friend (and a room-mate). I feel it only fitting his work should be acknowleged.

Great work on the site as a whole wombat! You make us Duranies proud!

Value of a Duran Record
Hello, I came across by doing a search on the following Duran record

http://duranduran.wikia.com/wiki/Oakland_Live_1984

I was wondering what is the value of this 2 record set?

my email is djrmp@hotmail.com

Thanks.

Hi Wombat.
Your hard work and dedication to this site are above astoundiong.

Mrbb (or Lee) is an ex-room mate and close friend so I know quite a bit about him. He is a very private person but has allowed me to flesh out the article about him with a picture. I am also in the process of getting him to clear some other bits and pieces so the article can be as informative as possible. I have to say that when I showed him the article you had written he was very humbled and honoured that fans of Duran Duran love his work enough to allow him a page on this wiki.

Thank you so much for all your hard work and I look forwad to woking with you to make this the best wiki out there!

DURAN DURAN - Legacy book
hello,

not sure if you know this or not, but i am working on a book called DURAN DURAN - Legacy. it's a visual history

of the band from start to just before notorious. you can see a work in progress video here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ahn0AXMbLo&feature=channel_video_title

i am working on this project with the band and i was wondering if you'd like to help.

you have compiled loads of scans from all over the place and you might have some images i could use in my research. in fact, you have plenty of my book images peppered throughout your additions here on wiki. you must have either found the links on mark's forum or found my photobucket, which is flush with images from my work.

but since there's so much stuff, maybe you have some high res versions of images that you've found or scanned yourself.

my email addy is figital@gmail.com

let me know if you'd like to help.

derek...

MRBB
Could you email MRBB at mrbblee@gmail.com he would like to give you a sneak preview of one of his upcoming projects as a thank you :)

Bootlegs
Do you know where I could get some of these bootlegs?


 * Hi there, If you live in the UK, a good place to buy bootlegs are record fairs that come to places like the NEC in Birmingham. They cost about £25 each. On the Internet I know of several excellent collectors sites that may be able to help you. They are;


 * http://durannorway.com/index2.htm
 * http://collection.duranduran.cz/section.php/Duran%20Duran/91
 * Alternatively asked on the Duran Duran Message board site, someone could be able to advise you much better..Wombat0121 04:18, July 9, 2011 (UTC)

Hi Davina, great shows and the last UK dates with Andy Taylor. I can only suggest the following sites, which have email contacts and a huge amount of bootlegs.

Hope this helps..Wombat0121 12:48, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

hi r u selling the constitution hall bootlegg

Hi there, thanks for your interest in the band. Unfortunately I'm not selling any bootleg. Duran Duran Wiki is just a reference site. There are a two links to website above that may help you.

Wombat0121 03:59, October 28, 2011 (UTC)

The New York City show was truly magical. It was so good in fact, I convinced my 'I only like the first album' Hubby to take me to Atlantic City. He was duly impressed, and he hasn't stopped listening to AYNIN since!

The Beacon Show was also amazing. We were so surprised when Lou Reed came on. Cyn426 19:02, December 20, 2011 (UTC)Cyn426

an FYI: Neon Trees did NOT open in Atlantic City. There was no support for this showCyn426 19:11, December 20, 2011 (UTC)cyn426

DVDs
Hi there, how can I get some of these early DVDs please? Regards Peter.
 * Hi Peter, I reconise your signing from the Duran Duran message board as 'poptrash' from Holland. I love reading your posts and hearing about the really nice vinyls you collect.

Yes there are some rare DVDs out there, with many special tracks. How to get hold of them? Well, I see some at record fairs here in the UK, but they cost £30-£40 each. Ebay is a good place to look.

Maybe you should put a thread on the message board site, someone is bound to help you. I know figital has a HUGE collection.

Hope to read more of your collection soon, best regards Graham Wombat0121 18:52, May 29, 2012 (UTC)
