Duran Duran's Oakland, California concerts that were filmed for the Arena (An Absurd Notion)
movie were also edited to form the one-hour As the Lights Go Down concert video. The name comes
from a lyric in the song "Shadows on Your Side" from the Seven and the Ragged Tiger album.
As the Lights Go Down is essentially the Arena video without the theatrical sequences,
although the live footage for many songs was edited differently.
This version was first aired on the Cinemax cable television channel, and later on MTV and other music channels.
The concert was also shown on British television channel ITV, on 30 December 1984 at 17:00.
At least two versions exist.
Bootleg DVDs of the video frequently appear on auction sites. As of 2015,
the only official DVD release has been as a bonus disc in the March 2010 special edition re-issue of
the Seven and the Ragged Tiger album, which uses the North American track listing.
The live version of "Hungry Like the Wolf" as included in this video and the Arena album/video.
