May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
This set is wonderful! Loving it! #SimpleMinds Great quality (for its time) – and WOW! What a sexy version of Celebrate! (Jim always makes Celebrate sound sexy though.) Interesting keys parts from Mick on Changeling! (still listening to it as I post it) Wonderfully mature version of Premonition too. Oh, if there was only footage…
Brian McGee on the cover of the Life In A Day album by Simple Minds.
Oh, I forgot all about this photo. Man alive! He is a beautiful creature :-)) (What happened to it being Brian McGee Appreciation Day, Prip??! Oops!)
Simple Minds – Factory. From Belgian TV program Follies. As part of Brian McGee appreciation day. Appalling quailty, 1980, etc…but amazing, raw, live performance. (Jim is beautiful! Sorry – can’t help myself. Lol) (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
The continuation of Brian McGee appreciation day on the blog. Another song from Belgian TV (same set as Capital City came from, it would appear) – Calling Your Name. Jim Kerr has some fantastically weird moves during this. Lol. But today is all about Brian :-)) Again – apologies for the video qhality – but…
Lol! It’s starting to work. Google search results for Laird Dash Fandango showing pictures of Jim! Ha!! Lol
