Duran Duran, Brit-pop’s Fashionable Fab Four (lead guitarist Andy Taylor left the original Fab Five once and for all a few years ago) have come up short in valiant efforts to recreate ’80s success in the U.S. Not even working with one mega-producer (Timbaland, on 2007’s Red Carpet Massacre) after another (Mark Ronson, on last year’s All You Need Is Now) has done the trick. But they’ve still got a rabidly devoted fan base, and really, isn’t that all one needs? It’s certainly enough to fill Constitution Hall. Sunday, Oct. 16, at 7:30 p.m. D.A.R. Constitution Hall, 1776 D St. NW. Tickets are $68 to $148. Call 202-628-1776 or visit dar.org/conthall.
