I must admit that while I'm quite a fan of Simple Minds from their early days, by 1983 they'd gone a bit overblown for my tastes - but then, that's just as they got really popular I suppose, so what do I know?! :-)
This is a soundboard recording which is slightly bass heavy even after remastering but still acts as a great record of Simple Minds appearing at this annual festival in Werchter, Belgium.
UPDATE. While preparing this older show as separate files for a donator to the site, I found I could now improve the sound quality further, over what I’d originally done to the recording several years ago. You can now download this new version (as of 2018) HERE as 1 new 320kbps MP3 file.
Or, if you would like to have separate tagged MP3s, or even lossless files in FLAC format, head on over to the Donations tab to see how you can obtain these for a very small donation towards the site costs.

ReplyDeleteAll good, no worries
DeleteThanks for posting this. Although I had heard the name Simple Minds never had heard their music until I saw them open for U2 in Dublin at Phoenix Park racecourse just over a month after this show. They opened with Waterfront, first time the public ever heard that song. I was blown away and when I got back to England went right to HMV to buy some SM vinyl (New Gold Dreams). Big Country and Eurythmics also played the show. Great first U2 and SM show (BG and E I had seen before). Thanks for the download
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it, cheers!
