amongst others, peformed at a Festival IN MY TOWN ( :o ) yesterday. I was blown away by the Feelgoods and pleasantly surprised by Simple Minds, who had the good idea of playing a lot of their old hits. Which made me understand the casual MK concert goer (ie not the hard core fan) being disapointed not to hear MFN. I would have been disapointed if they hadn't played "(don't you) forget about me". All together hey hey hey HEY!!! wooooooo hoooooo!

Glad you had a good time Nat! Fraid to say I think Simple Minds can be quite entertaining too!

Thanks Arthur, I had a great time!

I have to admit, I've been quite impressed with Simple Minds on the last few occasions I've heard them playing live.
How were Dr Feelgood? A few weeks ago, we were unlucky enough to be playing in their home town on the same night that they were playing just down the road, making us the slightly less popular choice for a Friday night out. A real shame as we actually delivered a performance that we were all really satisfied with. Oh well...

Used to be a big Simple Minds fan, saw them live in Aberdeen in 94 or 95 and it was one of the best gigs I've ever been to.

They were good, very good I thought. I know there is a lot of people who think they are not as good as the original lineup, blah blah blah but I loved them, they were very tight, had a lot of energy, the guitarist is excellent and the drummer gave his sticks to my son (always a good way to get into a mum's heart, be nice to the children ;D .)
Sorry to hear they "stole" your audience in their own town though! How rude ;D. Unfortunate that you were playing on the same night. I am sure the people who saw you that night had a great time too!

I'd like to think the people that came to see us had a good night. There were quite a few young people there which was good to see, especially as they were really into the music of Dire Straits.
Glad to hear Dr Feelgood were good - always an energetic live act. Actually, you mentioning the drumsticks - the drummer in one of my 'other bands' knows the Dr Feelgood drummer...
