Living in the 80(s) Days
There has been yet more nostalgia tripping for the band that prides itself on not wanting to be seen as a ‘heritage’ act. Yet more celebrations to do with THAT SONG having its 40th anniversary. Simple Minds fans had a busy night last night. No sooner was Radio 2’s Sounds of the 80s (being co-hosted…
Is The End Really In Sight?
Today, much like every other day, I should be studying. But today I feel a particular sense of melancholy and foreboding. I *should* feel on a high, because last night Simple Minds actually, FINALLY, debuted on ‘Later…with Jools Holland.’ They were incredible. Vision Thing sounded AMAZING.

A Celebration Of U2 In 1982
Geez, I loved them then. What a cracking version of Gloria! And to hear A Celebration being done live is fab. That line in Rejoice “I can’t change the world, but I can change the world in me” resonated so much with me.They were so flipping fab then. Honestly. Just watching this 9 minutes of…
New Gold Dream – Oxford Road Show, January 1983
I had previously seen them performing I Travel on this ORS episode, but hadn’t seen this performance of New Gold Dream before. It’s as the end credits roll so gets a bit cut off but still gold to see.
Full Follies Colour!
ERMEAGEERRRRRRD! IMMA GONNA CRY! I am ssssoooo happy this is up there. But I am sssooooo scared it’ll get taken away. PLEASE stay up there until morning, so I can make sure I can copy it for my own personal collection. Jim is just off his tits glorious in this performance. I mean…he really is…

Here is a selection of the things that were on the Oz TV SM DVD that arrived the other day. I put them up on YouTube to save space on my blog. Here goes… And the interview from yesterday – minus the bit of Prince Charles I snuck into it yesterday.
