Background: On July 24, 1987, Duran Duran opened a two-night stand at The Forum in Inglewood, California, delivering a high-energy performance as part of their North American Strange Behaviour Tour in support of the 1986 album Notorious. Operating as a newly streamlined three-piece core—Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, and John Taylor—and bolstered by guitarist Warren Cuccurullo, drummer Steve Ferrone, and a live horn section, the band showcased a funkier, R&B-infused sound that bridged their new material with classic hit singles. The setlist featured new tracks like "Notorious," "Skin Trade," and "Meet El Presidente" alongside fan favorites "Hungry Like the Wolf," "The Reflex," and "Save a Prayer," while also highlighting side-project hits including Arcadia's "Election Day" and The Power Station's "Some Like It Hot."
