SIMPLE MINDS – 40 YEARS OF HITS TOUR 2020
Il gruppo che ho visto più volte dal vivo, anche oltre i Depeche Mode.
Un po’ per caso, un po’ perché Jim e compagni mi trasmettono positività, energia, ricordi di un tempo che fu e che mi piace rimembrare e rivivere.
I Simple Minds, artisticamente, hanno chiuso bottega ormai da secoli.
Dal vivo, però, hanno sempre un certo fascino e, trattandosi dei migliori successi, si spera che possano inventarsi qualche arrangiamento sfizioso, qualche versione piacevolmente rielaborata di pezzi storici e, magari, anche qualche sorprendente reinterpretazione di cose che non passeranno mai di moda ma che sarebbe interessante ascoltare sotto nuove vesti acustiche.
Per ora sono state comunicate una quarantina di date.
Non più di una, certo.
Ma una sì, è da mettere in conto.
Una assolutamente sì.
Li avevo nel mirino pochi mesi, fa per un bellissimo giro turistico-musicale che poi è saltato per ragioni di forza maggiore.
Di debolezza maggiore, per meglio dire.
Stavolta, corna facendo, una andrà a buon fine.
Di seguito, le info dal sito ufficiale:

Simple Minds have experienced a remarkable journey since releasing their debut album ‘Life in a Day‘ in 1979. Constantly evolving, the band’s rousing choruses and booming atmospherics made them one of the most iconic bands of the Eighties. Along the way, they’ve landed five UK #1 albums, topped the singles charts on both sides of the Atlantic, sold over 60 million albums and packed stadiums the world over.
But the story didn’t end there. After taking some time out, they returned revitalised and resurgent with the 2014 album ‘Big Music’ and have maintained that upward momentum ever since. They claimed the Q Inspiration Award that same year, which was followed by an Ivor Novello in 2016. And when last year’s ‘Walk Between Worlds‘ album crashed into the UK charts at #4, it represented their highest position in 23 years. No wonder that the Manic Street Preachers, Moby, Primal Scream and many others cite Simple Minds as a vital inspiration.
