"Some bands sound much better when recorded live. I love this CD and would most definitely recommend to anyone."

One Of The 80's Best LIVE Albums Digitally RE-Mastered!!

"This album (to my mind) further established Simple Minds

as not just another one hit wonder band from a successful

movie soundtrack! With this album, I was able to delve deeper

into the best of their earlier works

(mainly "New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84)"/"Sparkle In The Rain")

and absorb what they were all about artistically.

Here are LIVE & re-worked versions of some of their best songs

up to this point in 1987 when they were enjoying worldwide success

with the multi-platinum "Once Upon A Time" and the worldwide

number one hit, "Don't You Forget About Me"!!

The gems of this set are their live renditions of their songs like:

"Oh Jungleland", "Promised You A Miracle", "Book Of Brilliant Things",

"Once Upon A Time", "Sanctify Yourself", "Alive & Kickin'",

"New Gold Dream" "East At Easter" and last but definitely

not least, "Don't You Forget About Me"!!

Too Bad they didn't include a live version of

"All The Things She Said" on here since this was actually

from the world tour of "Once Upon A Time"

and that song was well recieved at the time.

I never got to see these guys live, but this is the

next best thing!--Buy It!"
