Duran Duran recently released a spectacular live performance video of their cover of ELO’s “Evil Woman.”

The performance was filmed by legendary Swedish director Jonas Åkerlund at the band’s sold out headline concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City on October 31 for Halloween 2024.

The “Evil Woman (Live From Madison Square Garden)’ clip is a full circle moment in the story of Duran Duran’s latest studio album, Danse Macabre.

Duran Duran once again summoned all Halloween enthusiasts to show up, dress up, and celebrate All Hallows’ Eve in style for a one night only Halloween ball at Madison Square Garden in New York City – a major performance following their huge headline performance at Latitude 2024 this summer.

Speaking about the Madison Square Garden concert, Duran Duran founding member and keyboardist Nick Rhodes said, “We wanted to invite a wider audience inside a venue to experience a Duran Duran performance, so where better to capture that on film than Madison Square Garden on Halloween.”

“In times where we are never quite sure what is real and what is not, it felt great to return to the pulsing heart of Duran Duran, live in front of an audience,” he continued. “The Evil Woman video is a taste of what’s to come in Jonas Åkerlund’s live film…”

The Tom Petty Estate has shared a new animated music video for “Never Be You,” a song from the recently released Long After Dark (Deluxe Edition), the deluxe edition of Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers’ 1982 superhit record Long After Dark.

The “Never Be You” video, created by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker and painter Jeff Scher, features his trademark kaleidoscopic style of hundreds of drawings that he colors and paints with a variety of mediums to bring them to life with extraordinary effect.

The song, which Petty co-wrote with fellow Heartbreaker Benmont Tench, was amongst the music left off the original album in 1982.

Long After Dark (Deluxe Edition), which was released in October, featured the remastered original album, plus 12 bonus tracks, including “Never Be You” and “Ways to Be Wicked,” as well as tracks taken from sessions for French TV.
