Duran Duran in Chicago

Duran Duran in Chicago is an unofficial Duran Duran 15-track 2-CD live album, recorded in 2007.

About the album
The album is a recording of Duran Duran's performance at 101.9FM The Mix's 'Miracle on State Street' show. The event was held The Chicago Theatre in Chicago, IL (USA) on 14 December 2007, during The Red Carpet Massacre Tour. This was the first of two shows performed by the band in the state of Illinois on the tour, held at a 6,300 capacity venue located on North State Street in the Loop area of Chicago.

The event was organised by WTMX (101.9 FM "The Mix"), an adult top 40 radio station based in Chicago. WTMX's promotions included giving away four sets of tickets each day for five days to every 10th phone caller in competitions. After the five days, each winner was then entered into the Grand Draw to win a VIP limo trip with Simon Le Bon to a baseball game, the evening before the show.

After opening acts Pat Monahan and Sara Bareilla, Duran Duran began with updated dance-club rhythms courtesy of their latest release Red Carpet Massacre. This was soon followed by crowd-pleasing archival songs such as "Planet Earth" and "Rio". Wearing all black, Simon Le Bon introduced the band during their only encore song of the evening "Girls on Film".

Duran Duran continued their US tour in 2008, playing the 'Big Night 9' show at the Boston Convention and Expo Center on 26 January (the event raised $1.8 million for charity).
