Simple Minds have been musical pioneers for 40 glittering years. Catching the mood of the post-punk era, when the angry sounds of 1977 were splintering into a thousand different shapes, they emerged with a style rooted in the art-rock of David Bowie and the electronic dance of Donna Summer. They went on to become one of the great bands of their generation, deploying rousing choruses and booming atmospherics to provide a soundtrack that has endured. They topped the American chart with Don't You (Forget About Me) and followed suit in the UK with the Ballad Of The Streets EP (featuring Belfast Child). In selling over 60 million records, they have seen three of their 20 studio albums reach number one in the UK - Sparkle In The Rain, Once Upon A Time and Street Fighting Years - a chart-topping feat equalled by their live album Live In The City Of Light and the compilation Glittering Prize. A spellbinding touring band, they have graced the world's biggest stadiums. They starred at Live Aid and played three momentous London shows in honour of Nelson Mandela. The past decade has also seen a remarkable resurgence, their world-class credentials acknowledged by a Q magazine Inspiration award in 2014 and an Ivor Novello in 2016. They are now marking their 40th anniversary with a world tour, live album and career-spanning compilation.

One of their finest and greatest is Vision Thing - even after 40 plus years. WOW. There is no other band on the very face of Planet Earth - or any other planet, planetoid, moon, etc. - like Simple Minds. Sheer and unequivocal brilliance from Jim and Charlie and company. Thank you so much for making all these years of life better and happier.

[@sergioandres_miglio]

The best rock band of the mid-eighties, and I'm very happy that their performances are back🤘 good luck to all of you.

[@MrCherryJuice]

Sarah, Berenice and Cherisse - as noted elsewhere here - add so much in terms of visual and sonic energy to an already great band. And yes, it must be such a thrill to play to a hometown audience thrilled to have seen its local lads make good.

[@mariofasulo1055]

Tolles Konzert mit Liedern die ganz viele Erinnerungen hervorrufen. Die Sängerin hat eine Stimme mit großer Qualität. Alle Songs wurden perfekt präsentiert. Wir waren in Hannover dabei. Ich freue mich wenn Ihr wieder da seid Viele Grüße Mario aus Hannover

[@40ny]

Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill walk into a bar in Glasgow. And Jim says; "What'll you have, Charlie?" And Charlie says; "I'll have a pint please, Jim." So Jim says to the barman; "Pint for Charlie there. How much is that?" And the barman says; "That'll be four pounds, Jim." So Jim pulls out some change and goes; "One... Two..." And everyone in the bar goes; "One. Two. Three. Four!"

Gaynor, Forbes & MacNeil were.

[@brucefindlay]

@@hughzapretti-boyden9187 Mcgee Forbes MacNeil were the original 'beating heart of Simple Minds' It became a very different beast after Mel joined. That was then....

[@hughzapretti-boyden9187]

@@brucefindlay no sh*t Sherlock! I first saw SM in '79 or '80, memory is hazy nowadays, I imagine you were schoolhouse management who I had a brief dealing with around the OUAT album. This current lot are a tribute band at best & still flogging the horse.

[@brucefindlay]

@@hughzapretti-boyden9187 😂😂😂 Ha ha...well, they're doing incredibly well for a 'tribute band'. As it happens, I think this is the best rhythm section they've had, since Brian and Derek. The first 5 LPs are the ones I like best....and these years ( 79 /82).but hey, there are millions of fans who only know Simple Minds from the time Mel joined.

[@jtlampsu2]

Hopefully, they will bring a dvd out of this tour.
