  • A guest 100% at Lincoln Castle, Lincoln on Sat, 28 Jun 2025

    Fantastic concert - great acoustics in the Castle grounds - loved the set list - been following Simple Minds for 45 years - the band line up were a great ensemble - audience mainly of a certain age ! - Birthday treat from my daughter who was also there (only 34 yrs old) - can't wait to see them again

  • A guest 100% at Stadio, Portici on Wed, 10 Jun 1998

    È stato il concerto più bello e sensazionale della mia infanzia peccato che non è stata fatta alcuna pubblicità per cui lo stadio era vuoto e l’ingresso gratuito. Simile Minds eccezionali hanno cantato lo stesso anche per soli pochi spettatori come me che ero ancora una bambina.

  • Lloyd Simcoe was there 100% at Bercy, Paris on Sun, 16 Feb 1986

    First concert ever for me, and that was absolutely awesome. Jim Kerr in great form, at a time when "Alive & Kicking" was the hit single following "Don't You Forget About Me". Such a energic concert with a perfect line-up including the chorist. I've always wandered why this was not this show which had been chosen for the live album "In the city of light" (this was the Zenith show later that year in August which was).
    Starting with "Waterfront" followed by "Speed Your Love To Me", the live rendition of each song was different from records, with Charlie Burchill playing great guitars. I recall the fantastic version of "Someone Somewhere In Summertime" and the fact that Jim Kerr was always talking to the audience.
    This has been the event that change my regard to music, making it live, getting so good sensations while going to see live artists. At that time there was no internet, the piracy was on tapes, which awful sound mainly. The artist could live from their music, as everybody who wanted a proper recording actually bought the records. This is why concerts were cheap.First concert ever for me, and that was absolutely awesome.

  • A guest 80% at Hexagon Theatre, Reading on Thu, 30 Apr 2015

    A fantastic evening, venue is perfect and much more personal than the larger concert venues. Sound was amazing although from wher we were sitting the music drowned out Jim's voice on some of the tracks.

  • A guest 100% at Hexagon Theatre, Reading on Thu, 30 Apr 2015

    This was the best concert I have ever been to ( and I have been to 13 Simple Minds concerts now) They just get better and better. Jim was ill but it didn't notice- he was fantastic. Charlie's playing was out of this world. If I could have chosen the songs I would have picked exactly the ones they played. I was in the front row and the sound was perfect . Everything was perfect. The interaction that goes on between the fans and the band is amazing, especially Charlie and Andy ( but not saying it was any different with the others, just I was infront of Charlie and Andy. What a perfect perfect night ....can't wait till the 02 but will miss the intimacy .
