Simple Minds new album

[Govangirl]

Has anyone heard it yet? Is it worth buying? Are they going on tour?
Ah, the memory of Summer 1986, Ibrox Park

Hi GG - I was at Ibrox too....What a day .... I just can't believe it was 1986 !! Haven't heard the new album. I know they are playing Edinburgh Castle on 18th July but not sure if that is a one off or part of a national tour.

I was also at Ibrox in '86,I though Simple Minds were brilliant , The Waterboys , however produced an even better set ?
I haven't heard the new album yet , though alll the reviews are good.
I think they are touring '' Arenas '' at the end of the year , as they did last year.This time Deacon Blue are not with them I think it is O M D. ( Orchestral Manouvers In The Dark ).

Thanks for all that but on the long journey up to Scotland on Friday, Mr Govangirl bought the album! Yes Frosty, I also went to the Simple Minds concert at Milton Keynes that year and thought the Waterboys were the best thing! Funny though, I don't remember them at Ibrox

Was at Ibrox for the gig as well, along with the famous Sheik yer archie cracking gig, Waterboys were excellent and Hipsway and In Tua Nuawere good as well, Cult were poor though

A wee reminder of the gig

Seen them in SECC last December, they were good although venue was poor, support band were fantastic, the 1 and only Alarm

2003, Margate Winter Gardens. Absolutely brilliant to see them in a small venue. You only have to hear the first few opening beats of On the Waterfront . . .

Good clip AA - strange to see Ibrox so full in them days!

I saw Simple Minds at the Carling Academy a year or so ago and though they were good.

Chrissie Hynde

And still the best female voice in the business!
