Please come to Chicago, great band, awesome songs, unforgettable youth memories. I"ll love to sing a long with blurry eyes full of JOY.
Absolutely stellar! I keep looking for their return to the US.
Each time I have seen them perform live, They get better. Completely on fire. Outstanding.
Jim and Charlie still have it. Great show, new mixed with old seamlessly. Kerr seemed to be having a good time, singing, bouncing, reminiscing. He didn't remember EVERY show they've played here, but he did mention one of my personal faves, 1984 at the Tower Theater on Westheimer. This show was every bit as good as I remember that one to be. Lights, sound and venue staff, all great. Good times, I'm looking forward to their next show here.
Some bands of your youth, like Simple Minds, should stay in your memory cache .
Absolutely brilliant. Would love to see them again and especially at this venue. No smell of pot this time, which was an absolute plus.
Over the course of nearly 2 and 1/2 hours of music comprised of 2 full sets from the massive Simple Minds catalogue, and with no filler, Jim Kerr and company held the audience in rapt attention and with few in attendance utilizing the portable chairs on the main floor, choosing to dance in place. Opening with a cut off the new album Walk Between Worlds before tearing into the classics including Waterfront, Promised You A Miracle, Up On The Catwalk, and a rare performance of Midnight Walking from the overlooked 2014 release Big Music, the band were on fire and other than the soaked Jim Kerr showed no worse for the wear, even with the breakneck pace of this nearly 2 month tour of the US. It may have been more than a decade or two since this band has toured the US but it's clear neither the US audiences nor Simple Minds have forgotten about you.
We've seen Simple Minds a few times in the States and once in Northumberland, UK (which was amazing), but having a chance to have a meet n greet with the band (as down to earth as you've imagined) and see them perform at the Orpheum in Vancouver was out of this world! The intimate space and the unforgettable crowd, who NEVER SAT DOWN for the entire show made for a unique and brilliant energy that was off the hook! Meeting people from literally across the globe who were all here to see this band that are so dear to us was also a special treat. Hope the band knows how much they are loved! Can't wait to catch the boys (and their awesome crew) again soon!
Wow, Simple Minds have been around for a long time and have a vast catalog of material. This particular tour covered a span of the last 40 years and treated listeners to newer songs from this year's album release "Walk Between Worlds" as well as a mixture of classic hits like "Sanctify", All the Things She Said", "Alive and Kicking" and of course "Don't You Forget About Me". Although there are some newer members in the band, Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill are the two founding members who have kept the band going stroung all these years. The show was comprised of two sets with an encore, making for a little over two hours. If you get the chance, make sure you check them out.
