The great John Giblin on bass. Gone but not forgotten. RIP John.

[@dazzp2]

He was the Jean J Burnell player the industry missed thru Make up and Synths , what a great guy

[@VimFuego72]

I was 16, in the middle of that mosh. just to see the minds!Best day ever.

[@davidwinthrop7077]

Best Simple Minds lineup ever. Charlie Burchill, Mick McNeil, Mel Gaynor, John Giblin (R.I.P John) and at his peak here Jim Kerr.

[@tommycosgrove4769]

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.

[@robinevans1293]

Bass line kicked in.Everyone went mental

[@tomhopkinslondon]

Who's playing guitar then?

[@RazorU2Killers]

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.

@VimFuego72 SOOOOOOOOOOOOO lucky you!!!!!! :)

[@gw2031]

Where's Micks amazing keyboards ?

[@shaun64vet]

I’d say once they lost Derek Forbes and eventually Mick, things were ‘streamlined’ for lack of a better word. Much to the band’s detriment.

[@robinevans1293]

They missed Denzil and Emily's intro

[@MorganMontyMcKeown]

Middle of summer and rain coats?

[@kevinbooth8973]

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?
