Heading into familiar territory this Sunday night. Post-Punk-turned-Pop-Powerhouse Simple Minds, in a homecoming concert from Glasgow, recorded at the Royal Concert Hall by BBC6 Music in 1995.
One of those bands whose music was pretty much a backdrop for the 80s with an almost endless string of hits, Simple Minds were a regular staple in the diet of early MTV. And even though their popularity suffered a decline in the 90s, they had, and continue to have, a huge following. The band has gone a great distance from the old days as a Post-Punk outfit, and have undergone numerous personnel changes in the process. But the core of the band is still very much alive, well and kicking.
And here’s what they sounded like in 1995.
