The Power Station was a high-profile supergroup of the 1980s, formed by members of Duran Duran together with Robert Palmer. They became known for their powerful, rhythm-heavy sound that fused rock riffs with funk grooves and pop sensibility. The band broke through with hits like "Some Like It Hot" and their distinctive cover of T. Rex's "Get It On (Bang a Gong)", both of which earned them international chart success and heavy rotation on radio and MTV. Their self-titled debut album was a commercial success and cemented The Power Station's reputation as one of the most exciting side projects of the decade. This live release builds on that legacy by capturing the band in their prime, in direct contact with the audience, delivering extended, high-energy versions of the songs that made them famous.
