A new article in the current issue of Mojo mag featuring Bowie’s thirst for mainstream success under the Serious Moonlight…
Another “icontethefly” Special!
This time, as about as cleaner/clearer copy of the 1983 Bologna gig as you’re ever gonna get. No Celebrate, sadly…but pretty much all of New Gold Dream bar Somebody Up There Likes You and King Is White And In The crowd (geez, Jim loved a long song title back then! Lol). I was hoping to…
New Gold Disco Ring
OMFG! All hail to “icontethefly” for a new, cleaner upload of the Disco Ring performance of New Gold Dream. I STILL don’t know what that action he does is at 2 min 23 seconds…but I love it! Lol ENJOY PEOPLES!

Minds Music Monday – The Tube, December, 1983
Just over 12 months from their previous appearance on The Tube, Simple Minds return. It’s not the best quality footage…but it expresses the dynamism of the band. My favourite part is when Jim’s mic is obviously starting to give him problems. Instead of stopping proceedings like a lot of other performers would, he just throws…
