The Brussels Photoset – March, 1983

Posted on September 25, 2017October 3, 2023 By Priptona 4 Comments on The Brussels Photoset – March, 1983

This beautiful set of photos came my way very recently, from the collection of fellow mega Minds fan, Stuart Holland. I am absolutely bowled over by them! They are an absolute new treasure. Quite possibly the most prized thing in my ever expanding Simple Minds memorabilia collection.
Anyone enjoying these pictures – I do ask you to be respectful! Either: Please link back to my site directly if you want to share them, or failing that, I IMPLORE YOU TO PLEASE KEEP THE PHOTOGRAPHER CREDIT on the photos if you copy and take from my site. Thank you.
I have seen a few of these photos over my three years of fandom, and had never known the photographer. At least credit is finally given. Others in the set I have never seen before, so again, I ask for some respect in sharing them.
Lastly…that last picture of Jim leaving the hotel…is the new fave. Forget the “trouser” shot (I know…once seen, it can’t be unseen! Lol)…this other pic is DELICIOUS!

      I don’t have for League Of Nations (Live) – only what I have interpreted myself, but they could be wrong, and I haven’t written them down. Sleeping Girl and most other Simple Minds lyrics you’ll find at simpleminds.org and looking in the “songs” section of the left-hand menu bar.
