Phoenix Park Dublin Gig Review – No 1 Magazine – August, 1983
Review of the U2/SimpleMinds/Big Country/Eurythmics mega gig at Phoenix Park, Dublin on August 14th, 1983. A shame the second page (and pic of Jim) is black and white. Never mind. Again, many thanks to shanemarais.net for the magazine scans.
