Geat memories! We came up from Lancashire, 4 of us still at school!
The Bhundu Boys should have appeared but had problems with their flight from Zimbabwe. Before Simple Minds came on there was a message from Amnesty International on the big screens followed by 'Pride' by U2 which was blasted out over the PA....At this point, had there been a roof on the stadium it would have been blown into orbit!
I was at the front but couldn't spot myself from these clips. Happy days!
@faddy24 As Adam Clayton said in a certain U2 movie, 'some say music and politics shouldn't mix - I think thats kinda bullshit' and I totally agree with him. Some of the best songs / best music are of the protest variety and that document the times we live in - Street Fighting Years was a class example of that, heavily datestamped with a big fat 1989 all over it, and probably SM's finest hour imho. JK and CB are to be commended for being songwriters and musicians of integrity and dignity.
@alternatereality85 - thou doth protest too much. I could not give a flying fuck what Adam Clayton supposidly said many years ago. I stand by my opinion as no doubt you stand by yours. End of.
@faddy24 The word is 'supposedly', not 'supposidly'. And I really couldn't give a flying fuck what someone like you has to say. Now its end of, I've decided.
Jim said he saw Texas in Cardiff the previous week and did well, they did ok but got canned to feck lol

I think Kerr got the message and stayed clear of all that earnest guff by the time `Real Life' album came out.

Love Simple Minds but the music suffered a bit with all the self rightous, political naiveity. Leave that sort of crap to Bono.

@faddy24 Agreed! Glad the Minds stopped all that a few years later.
