On 16 June 2017, Eagle Rock Entertainment release “Acoustic In Concert” by Simple Minds on DVD, Blu-ray, DVD + CD and digital formats. This wonderful collection of re-tooled classics follows the release of their acclaimed “Acoustic” album and includes: Alive And Kicking, Don’t You (Forget About Me), Glittering Prize, Waterfront, Promised You A Miracle, Sanctify Yourself, See The Lights and more!
On the eve of the album’s release, in November 2016, Simple Minds took to the stage of London’s famous Hackney Empire to perform a special show for BBC Radio 2’s renowned “In Concert” series. The band performed re-imagined acoustic versions of some of their greatest hits and best-loved tracks along with cover versions of some of the songs that influenced them including a stunning finale of “Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me)” which sees them joined by Steve Harley. This is Simple Minds as you’ve never seen them before!
