Simple Minds - Seen The Lights - Live In Verona (DVD 2004)

I recorded the Simple Minds Live in Verona concert on cassette from TV in 1990 and rediscovered it recently. It was an old favourite but in terrible condition, so I looked for a DVD recording to replace it. The DVD is a fabulous improvement on any cassette recording as the image is perfectly clear and the sound has been remastered... The film is an artistic masterpiece (partly in black and white)which not only shows Simple Minds in concert in Verona, but also shows glimpses of the crowds, the passers-by in Verona and the lovely architecture nearby. There are also brief interviews with each member of the group and a delightful sequence where the musicians of the group play Scottish folk music in the street. This film captures all the tension and excitement of a rock concert, including the build-up before the concert begins and the crowd's excitement at each particularly well-loved song. I'm delighted with this purchase and highly recommend it to any Simple Minds fan.
