It’s been a long time since I saw them live in Sydney but when they toured in Australia early 80’s they were the backup band for Flowers- Icehouse. That was at the Capitol theatre, but when they were touring the UK and Europe it was Simple Minds and Flowers-Icehouse as backup. RESPECT for one of my all time favourite band(s).

Charlie is always good. Luckily there is still 1 member who tries to keep the original vibes of the '80's. Jim has long since given up and plays on automatic pilot. For me it is no longer worth to go and see them live. Especially with that terrible version of "speed your love to me". For my their best song ever made.

Yup. The performance of this instrumental is essentially a cover-band rendition, guest-starring Charlie.
