I was from Calgary, Canada. Was 18 years old and hitchhiking around Europe. Hitched to Newcastle and saw Simple minds in a small club in 1979. Part of my youth. Fond memories. Still have the ticket stub.
Joy Division meets Kraftwerk. Empires and Dance was such a great album. Not just the music, the lyrics too, so in tune with the martial, european, cold war paranoia feel of the album. Their best imo.

Wow 👌
Lucky you in the presence of future greatness
I wonder how the audience could remain still and static listening to this masterpiece 🤔

I agree ! , stadium rock may have made them £$£$£$£$ but Their best work was before that
