Didn’t know J&MC were Scottish, always gotta give accolades for playing that song, it needs immediate placement on my all-time list.
But. . .
You simply CANNOT do a Scotland show without playing Simple Minds and Big Country. I don’t care how alternative or underground or indie you want to be!
Seeing J&MC in Pittsburgh 1988 was pretty cool. First time I saw people stage dive. Were you at Graffitti that night Jack?
Davidsfr, that’s exactly why Scotland wanted independence, so they didn’t always have to play Simple Minds!
MIclusic, that seems like something i would’ve been at but i’ve actually never seen them. They freaked out me and my friend John in high school when we saw a video and they were facing the back of the stage.
Yeah, glad I went. I wasn’t much of a fan, but I like concerts, and my new wave freshman buddy was into that clothing and hairstyles. I sort of got into them years later, listening to Psychocandy on the Tullycraft tourbus. One of those bands which I think I could dig hanging out with, more than listening to. Although pretty great sounds while stoned.
