Simple Minds Dublin 1989 Rehearsal footage & interview

[@rira0007]

I heard that SM were rehearsing in the Point Depot at that time so I made the trek to Dublin when i was a kid (13 or 14 I think?) to see if I could catch a glimpse of my heroes!! I ended up meeting all the band, got a poster signed and got a pair of Mel's sticks!! One of the greatest days in my life at the time! Still like to look at the photos of that day...always bring a huge smile to my face!!

Didn't. You feel a bit robbed because it was a day time event .

It was a brilliant day!

@@coletteduke6294 was not the minds fault. They could not play unless they agreed to a 10 o'clock curfew but fair play they over played till half 10. Brilliant day

@rira0007 - Hard to believe how different the ol' Point is now. I think the O2 is what the Point always should have been.
