This set was the 1st time I'd ever payed any attention to Simple Minds - and I loved it that much that I was at Wembley 12 months later for the Street Fighting Years tour. Great live band back in the day.
I’ve seen SM god knows how many times in my lifetime..I was at this concert up in the seats near the stage…I’ve still got the opening to waterfront reverberating through my eardrums..absolutely scenes when this was playing
Remember Emily Lloyd and Denzil Washington introduced the band and the bass line kicked in.Crowd went mental.As Smash Hits said it was like U2 at live aid all over again
No words!80000 people jumping ,great stunning live version(charlie's guitar and mick keybaord didn't work 4 the whole song!!)Goosebump...Simple Minds best live band ever with Muse!! Ciao cheers from Italy
Was there, and right a the front and in the middle! Remember when the turnstiles opened, we ran the full length of the pitch and were stopped about 10 feet from the end. Sting was on stage as we entered (singing ?) before the concert started. Then we were allows to get to the barrier. It was just mad, people being pulled out from the crowd.
What can I say, pure legends, i was in the rds 1989,pure brilliance, texas on the undercard, sharleen was gd lookin then, she's beAt now, the poor woman, haggard, anyway simple minds legends
Jim is millions times better than Bono.... Jim's voice is by far better and more expressive than Bono. He is singing, not screaming. He was there because of his values..he got the guts to be there in a real political show.... where was Bono?
