British rockers Duran Duran were welcomed to Morgantown with a barrage of stuffed animals placed on the Coliseum stage by the 6,500 fans in attendance in February 1984. Both Simon Le Bon and John Taylor captivated the crowd as the band performed a steady stream of their hits, including "Something I Should Know," "Hungry Like a Wolf," "The Reflex," "Girls on Film" and "New Moon on Monday."
