My favourite version of the Simple Minds track 'New Gold Dream' taken from the excellent 'Live In The City Of Light' double album

Have a listen to Simple Minds’ first album in five years and let us know your thoughts!

Live In The City Of Light is the first (double LP, CD) live album by Scottish rock band Simple Minds. It was released in May 1987 to document their successful worldwide Once Upon a Time tour, and charted at No. 1 in the UK. The album spawned one chart single release, a live version of "Promised You a Miracle"

Simple Minds-Live-In the City of Light (CD 1987). Simple Minds were at their height when this live recording was made during the Once Upon A Time tour. The sheer power of Mel Gaynor's drums is something I love to listen to on the car stereo where the sub woofer helps to truely play back the live sound. The CD version is as good as I remember it to be on tape and it features in the performance all my favourite tracks from their catalogue up to 1987. Whilst I am a fan of the group, I would recommend this to the casual Simple Minds fan as well due to the selection featured.

These 50 live LPs conjure such an enthralling aura that listeners may feel as if they’re right there in the audience witnessing the spectacles firsthand. The joy of this album is that it transports me back to Section 12, Row 7 during the band’s Once Upon A Time tour and all those great memories come flooding back. Standouts like Someone Somewhere (In Summertime), Once Upon A Time, the reworked Book of Brilliant Things, the guitar tinged East at Easter, and the sing-a-long joy of Don’t You (Forget About.

Simple Minds are arguably one of the best live bands in the world and over a forty year career have. Will the gig be your birthday party then?" He enquired. Well, I suppose so? It'll still be a gig of course, and I will obviously still be working. But the show will feel a bit like a party for me. One where a few thousand might want to come along. Wow You are the only guy I know who can throw a birthday party and sell tickets in advance!" He chuckled.
