roaming_kate23Classic Pop magazine did a story on Power Station,the Duran Duran solo group.Now, I have said that I was more on Team Robert Palmer than Team Michael Des Barres. I did NOT see them when they toured in 1985. And I’m glad that I didn’t.
Decided to see if I was the only one who was NOT a fan of Michael Des Barres and..yeah.I am FAR from the only one!
Saw Power Station in Florida and they SUCKED.
Michael Des Barres …not on the same level as Robert Palmer.
Michael Des Barres had a scratchy voice.Not a great show.
Nobody wants him but he fits in.
(Apparently he was the go to because his band had opened for Duran Duran on their tour the year before. According to at least one website they opened for Duran Duran in San Diego but I seem to remember a local band having that honour.)
I stand by my “Temu Robert Palmer” comment.
