Musique 365: Day 168: Live In The City Of Light – Simple Minds

This caught the band at their stadium-packing height of the late 80’s riding on the success of ‘Once Upon A Time’ (not in my collection, I’m afraid). All the hits of the time are there:  ‘Alive and Kicking’, ‘Don’t You – Forget About Me’ and ‘Sanctify Yourself’ to name but three.

‘East At Easter’ is an atmospheric contribution, but ‘Promised You A Miracle’ with its wonderfully evocative keyboard coda is the definition of a real show-stopper.
