Following the huge acclaim of 2018’s\u003ci\u003e Walk Between Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e album (“The band’s best album in decades.” Album Of The Week, Sunday Times), continuing their recent spectacular renaissance, while also building on their reputation as one of the world's great live acts, last autumn Simple Minds travelled to North America to undertake their first coast to coast tour in over two decades. Taking in 31 cities, both critics and fans unani-mously agreed that it was the bands most successful US tour to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe resulting album, \u003ci\u003eLive In The City Of Angels\u003c\/i\u003e, is a 40-song collection, spanning one of the most diverse catalogues of, to date, a 40 year career. Simple Minds’ live prowess, incredible musicianship, led by the band’s exceptional and iconic guitarist Charlie Burchill, and the soulfulness of frontman Jim Kerr’s voice - which has matured into a powerful instrument in its own right - delivers a set that proves why Simple Minds are still a vital and relevant band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a career spanning set it features songs from the band’s \u003ci\u003eEmpires and Dance\u003c\/i\u003e album through to last year’s \u003ci\u003eWalk Between Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e.
