Description
2LP - Double black vinyl housed in gatefold sleeve with hi spec finish. This variant holds 18 fan favourite tracks, recorded live from the band’s Amsterdam Ziggo show in 2024.
Simple Minds are one of the greatest live bands of their generation. From their roots as a nascent post-punk art rock band, through their arena and stadium straddling days in 1980s and ‘90s, and up to the present day, Simple Minds have always prided themselves on their live reputation, having last year played to approximately one million people around the globe.
Live in The City of Diamonds completes the triptych of Live in The City series dating back to 1987 andcaptures the visceral excitement of a Simple Minds concert. Recorded at a sold out Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome on April 6th 2024, to an audience of 17,000 people, the band play a perfect mixture of songs from throughout their dynamic career.
The album includes early pioneering tracks such as ‘Love Song’, ‘Sons and Fascination’ and ‘Sweat in Bullet’, tracks from their era-defining album New Gold Dream, including their first Top 20 UK single ‘Promised You a Miracle’, 1985’s international hit ‘Don’t You Forget About Me’ and songs from the multi-platinum album Once Upon A Time (both celebrating their 40th anniversaries this year), 1989’s number one single ‘Belfast Child’, and songs from 1991’s Real Life album, including fan favourite ‘See The Lights’.
Live in The City of Diamonds is the perfect summation of Simple Minds current live prowess and the ever-evolving sound of a remarkable band, which features the extraordinary talents of lifelong members and friends Jim Kerr (vocals) and Charlie Burchill (guitars, keyboards), and Gordy Goudie (acoustic guitar), Ged Grimes (bass), Cherisse Osei (drums), Erik Ljungggren (keyboards) and Sarah Brown (vocals).
