ONE thing I will always think of when Simple Minds are mentioned is that they were the band to follow Queen at Live Aid. They did it, and they held their own.
It’s easy to put the sadness at the back of our minds, however, as Justin beams across the stage while they launch into Always the Last to Know. It’s clear that a lot of the crowd already in the sellout arena were here for Del Amitri as much as our headliner. Justin’s voice is soft and warm while the chemistry between the band members was a joy to watch.
Opening with Waterfront gives guitarist and only other original member, Charlie Burchill a chance to showcase some expert note wrangling. The sustained harmonics and soaring lead guitar fill the Hydro easily, while Jim Kerr’s vocals are as powerful as they were forty years ago. It would be a complete injustice to not mention the heroic efforts of both Sarah Brown and Cherisse Osei tonight.
Perhaps this should have been the song to finish on, as anything else is a come down. ‘Sanctify Yourself’ is a good second choice if I couldn’t have the singalong, but I’d love to have left the Hydro tonight with the ear worm living happily inside my head.We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
