Simple Minds - Glasgow, UK


(Broadcast)

4 September 2005 - King Tut's - Glasgow, Scotland




Frontman Jim Kerr led a rejuvenated Minds back to their roots with a sneak preview of their stunning new album Black & White 050505 and an impressive collection of their greatest hits. At their peak, the band filled huge stadiums and arenas all over the world, but their choice of the legendary King Tut's for their comeback made this a night to remember for the lucky few in attendance. Opening with Stay Visible, new single Home and without doubt a future single Jeweller to The Stars the atmosphere was electric and judging by the reaction of stalwarts Kerr, guitarist Charlie Burchill and drummer Mel Gaynor, newcomers Ed Duffy on bass and Andy Gillespie on keyboards, they are more than capable of climbing back to the top. Love Song started a collection of their greatest hits including Speed Your Love, oldie Premonition, Alive and Kicking and Waterfront received a rapturous welcome with the frontman taking a back seat and letting the mesmerised crowd take over. New Gold Dream ended an amazing set but with the band and crowd enjoying every minute they re-appeared for a five-song encore including new song Stranger and old favourites (Dont You) Forget About Me and Sanctify.
