Pop Trash: Wembley December 17, 2000 is an unofficial Duran Duran live album, recorded during The Pop Trash Tour at Wembley Arena in London, UK on 17 December 2000.

About the album[]

The album is an incomplete recording of Duran Duran's performance at Wembley Arena, a 12,500 capacity indoor venue located opposite Wembley Stadium. This was the seventh of nine shows performed in the UK on the tour.

The Vegastones opened the show, a rock band who were signed to Richard Branson's V2 record label.

Digging all the way back to their 1981 self-titled debut album, Duran Duran launched their set with "Planet Earth. As John Taylor’s bass lines bounced off the venue’s walls, Nick Rhodes punctuated the song with his near-trademark synth sound.

The show was partially broadcast worldwide on the internet through the Wembley TV site.

During the evening, Sally Boyden performed backing vocals on "Come Undone", which Tessa Niles originally recorded for The Wedding Album. This was the only show Sally Boyden appeared at during the tour.

Duran Duran touring with their newest release, Pop Trash, played a number of songs from the album, including, "Hallucinating Elvis", in which Le Bon changed into an Elivs Presley outfit and danced just like the king.

In addition to this, the band performed some of their greatest hits, such as "Notorious", "A View to a Kill", "Hungry Like the Wolf", and "Rio".

Ticket prices for the event cost around £22.50.
