Apollo Days – Simple Minds, September 1981

Today is a very exciting day! I get to hear the long mystical Glasgow Apollo gig that SM did in September of 1981. I am really looking forward to this one. I have already heard just a little bit of it (In Trance As Mission and some of Changeling) and I plan to devour the rest shortly, even if only as a brief taster.

I’m sure someone will end up putting it up on YouTube and when they do, I’ll share it here.

Until then…I’m off for a listen and a TARDIS trip! Jim…in them boots! Sweet baby Jesus and the orphans! *fans self and drools*

Also – listen to this. The crowd captured either before the gig or though most likely by the sound of it, waiting for Minds to return to the stage for an encore. Either way, you can tell when the band hit the stage because the crowd go absolutely APESHIT!

UPDATE: OMG – ‘Seeing Out The Angel’ and ‘Sons and Fascination’ are both WONDERFUL at this gig! So…I am going to post one song here.

Enjoy!
