In 1984, Duran Duran toured Canada and America. It was their first major tour as headliners in these two countries. Over 79 days, they travelled approximately 18,000 miles and played 51 shows in 43 cities to over 550,000 fans. The entire tour was filmed for this behind the scenes documentary which offers some fascinating and intriguing glimpses into the fun, glamour, agony, ecstasy and ultimate glory of three months on the road. The band is shown thriving on the pressures, psyching themselves up pre-stage and then delivering their all to a thunderous response.

Sing Blue Silver is a film video documentary about Duran Duran's 1984 US leg of The Sing Blue Silver Tour, released by EMI-PMI in 1984. The video was originally aired on MTV (and later other music channels) under the title Blue Silver. Sing Blue Silver was released on videotape (in VHS and Betamax formats) and on LaserDisc and VHD disc, near the end of 1984. It was re-issued on DVD in April of 2004.

Duran Duran typically change the set list around somewhat. The only songs they have never performed live are: Faith In The Colour (B-Side Is There Something I Should Know). The only album tracks from 1981 to 1985 not played live since 1984 are "Of Crime & Passion" and "Cracks in the Pavement". I Take the Dice", "Shadows On Your Side", and "Tiger Tiger" were performed live for the first time after 2005. Tiger Tiger" was a tape intro on the 1984 tour. After the "Sing Blue Silver" Tour, "New Moon On Monday" has only been performed less than 15 times. Also, it has never been included on any live album box-sets, or been performed during those shows.
