coming across this has got me bringing out my vhs player and putting the recording i made when it 1st came on tv way back.brill concert watched it many times
This video was from the Ahoy Rotterdam and was on channel 4 only a handful of times.Simple Minds have released the concert but only on cd as part of a box set.This is Simple Minds at their peak awesome.
This was a real highlight show for Simple Minds, I always thought they should use this show for the live CD (live in the city of lights) instead of the Paris show. Ghostdancing, Book of Brilliant Things and sanctify are great versions.
The thing about Simple Minds is..you'll never get it unless you've seen them 'live'(mindblasting show)...fantastic band and and I've seen a few...go and see them while they're still doin it.Charlie has a magic guitar....

I'm guessing that this was filmed for a special edition of The Tube, Malcolm Gerrie is down as the producer for it. Fantastic video. Cheers.

THANKS for All your comments, I have had a great read. It would be wrong to delete this video now.
I only posted these videos because I could not find them on Youtube, and maybe someone else was looking too.
Click the video for widescreen.
