I watched them in Cardiff on Thurs night they were incredible I can’t stop playing them I’m so in awe of them it’s wa spur of the moment and as I’d missed them four time could not miss the opportunity so glad I. did I’m hypnotised 😵💫 X it was a fill moon too as was back then …
Having just seen them in Glasgow April 2024, I now can't get enough of their live performances! Thanks to RUclips for opening up a whole "Book of Brilliant Things" with so many great past performances to find on here.
I listened to it on Radio 1, introduced by Gary Davies as " The best band ever to come out of Scotland...", when, at the time, they were the best around, full stop. I'd been to see them at Wembley Stadium the tour before (Aug 89) and they were on a roll.
Remember this concert well, left Glasgow by bus just before midnight on the Friday after being in the pub, got to Milton Keynes about 6am. Concert was amazing then bus back up to Glasgow around midnight. Was totally worth the travelling
Was there it was totally amazing, Jim owned the place , Charlie's riffs perfect as usual . Saw them in Liverpool this year they are Still Alive and definitely Kicking
I was at the front, lost a box fresh white Reebok Classic, miraculously I somehow found it resembling a wellington boot 😂 Great line up including Magnum, OMD & The Stranglers. Memories 😊
Me and some friends got a mini bus down from Nottingham, brilliant concert, the band were on fire, probably my favourite ever concert, amazing day and the crowd were well up for it as well.Can’t believe it’s nearly 30 years ago!Thanks for posting
at the front for the whole gig.amazing.remember never being soon thirsty and getting home at 2 in the morning my brother was still up and had luckily recorded the whole gig on radio 1.was buzzing for days.
Marc Setterfield Great memories Marc! "Brilliant days, wake up on brilliant days Shadows of brilliant ways will change all the time Memories, burning gold memories Gold of day memories change me in these times" - Someone Somewhere In Summertime. Thanks for leaving a comment and all the best Marc.
I went to this gig, the weather was great and I remember travelling down - was amazing and managed to get my mum to tape it while I was there! Good times, thanks for posting!
Me and two mates broke down in my ford orion queuing to get to the gate, we abandoned the car on someones drive and walked in, Stood for hours in the heat keeping position, Im now 58 and would do it again just to re live that night one more time.
17:53 "I can tell it's gonna be one of these mad, mad nights. You only have to look at the size of that moon!" Cracking version of Stand By Love on this. Haven't heard this since my tape of the concert wore out.
Watching it tonight during a huge full moon on a sub-tropical night in Honolulu... will be "experiencing" SM in 24 nights from tonight in the beautiful City of Light. The last (and only) time I saw them in a "live performance" was in my hometown of San Francisco on my birthday in 1983, so 39 years later am still "Alive and Kicking", and a loyal and steadfast fan of their music !
Ah, great memories of that day, singing along with my first love! Still got the t shirt and programme somewhere. Many thanks for bringing it all back :D
Own it on double CD ftom the KTS (Kiss The Stone) label,back than in the mid 90is.it was the live bootleg glory days.yellow/black cover with a shot from Jim. Called Real... Real.... LIVE. excellent quality. Complete gig. I hold it as a treasure First Album and Tour without Mick Mc Neal. Very sad, but still very good. I watched a show in 1991 in Düsseldorf Germany, RheinStadium Open Air. Glory Days back then
Brilliant! Love the version of Stand by Love, somehow better than the current live version. Fond memories of this, not long moved to near Northampton so remember it well. Seen them so many times including the first gig at the SSEC but this always stands out.
Hi Art, the version of Book of Brilliant Things is UNBELIEVABLE - best version ever!! This was back when they really used to rock! They don't play that song like that anymore
Hi there I personally prefer the '86 version with Mick's keyboards and all but this version does rock thanks mainly to Mel's drumming. Still in the set with the Electro version but would be good to hear the full rock version again someday! All the best to you.
That's disappointing to hear! I've still to watch the DVD. Some of the shows on this tour have been excellent to say the least. 1995 was the best tour for Charlie in my opinion. Best rock 'n' roll tour anyway! I know what you mean about getting old but I'm glad they are still on the go. Seems like yesterday when I first saw them live in 1982. Anyway thanks and bye for now.
U2 were Ireland's equivalent of Simple Minds. Saw them at the Bowl. And there *was* a power outage. Backup generator failed. Somewhat ironically in the middle of OMD's 'Electricity'. BBC and other engineers engineers were frantically trying to find out what had tripped the breakers. As a BBC engineer attached to Transcription Recording Unit just off Shepher's Bush in London,, I had a backstage pass.
I think i went to this concert with my girlfriend and best mate? wasn't a big fan but my girlfriend liked them , it was ok, did they only play the one night?if so i was there😂👍 So long ago now i can't remember?
im sure when they came on stage the first thing they shouted was ` how the FXck are you! - probably didn't realise they were going out live on a Saturday afternoon :)great day - sure OMD blew the speakers as well when they started ?
I went to this concert with my best friend Ian he past away at Christmas RIP my friend one of those days I will never forget X
Went to this concert, stood all day on the barrier at the front, they did not disappoint great memories that will forever stay with me.
Oh my god I cannot believe I’m hearing this again. Fantastic concert I wish they sounded like this again pure raw power. Best band ever
I watched SM last night in Cardiff, and this concert in 91, so the last 30 or so years have been punctuated beautifully!! ❤️
I watched them in Cardiff on Thurs night they were incredible I can’t stop playing them I’m so in awe of them it’s wa spur of the moment and as I’d missed them four time could not miss the opportunity so glad I. did I’m hypnotised 😵💫 X it was a fill moon too as was back then …
best concert i've ever been to I can remember there was a massive full moon shining in the clear sky throughout the performance it was amazing
Having just seen them in Glasgow April 2024, I now can't get enough of their live performances! Thanks to RUclips for opening up a whole "Book of Brilliant Things" with so many great past performances to find on here.
I recorded this off the radio onto cassette tape.....the good old days
Yes, me too!!!!
Me too
And me! 😂
24/08/91 my 20th birthday ,travelled down from Glasgow . Amazing concert. Omd and the Stranglers supporting them , outstanding day had by all
I listened to it on Radio 1, introduced by Gary Davies as " The best band ever to come out of Scotland...", when, at the time, they were the best around, full stop. I'd been to see them at Wembley Stadium the tour before (Aug 89) and they were on a roll.
This takes me back. Taped this off Radio 1 and listened to it til the tape broke. Not heard it since.
I saw this tour in the Summer of 1991 at the Tower Theater in Upper Darby, PA...Thanks for posting.
Teleport me back to this day in 1991 brilliant sunny day it was !!!
Remember this concert well, left Glasgow by bus just before midnight on the Friday after being in the pub, got to Milton Keynes about 6am. Concert was amazing then bus back up to Glasgow around midnight. Was totally worth the travelling

Sadly, no Mick MacNeil on keyboards. Definitely something missing.
25 years ago today, I was there.
I was at this concert had a great time i remember giving Gary Davis the Radio 1 dj some stick when he came on stage. Great memories.
sceniclover Gary Davies - a blast from the past! He did like his hair!
Great memories for a lot of people, anyway Merry Christmas to you.
Haha yeah he liked his hair alright. Thanks for posting this up. Happy xmas to you.
Remember this so well; recorded it off the radio and saw the concert at Maine Road!
I went Maine road gig too
I have a bootleg CD of this concert. Bought in amsterdam in 1992
i had the old man tape this of the radio when i was out
Hi Art, the version of Book of Brilliant Things is UNBELIEVABLE - best version ever!! This was back when they really used to rock! They don't play that song like that anymore
Hi there
I personally prefer the '86 version with Mick's keyboards and all but this version does rock thanks mainly to Mel's drumming.
Still in the set with the Electro version but would be good to hear the full rock version again someday!
All the best to you.
can I get a copy on cd from you somehow please mate? with tracklistings possibly?
I just watched Hydro DVD. Shit, was a little disappointed. Haha. Charlie didn't rip on guitar enough. Is horrible watching your heroes get old
That's disappointing to hear! I've still to watch the DVD.
Some of the shows on this tour have been excellent to say the least.
1995 was the best tour for Charlie in my opinion. Best rock 'n' roll tour anyway!
I know what you mean about getting old but I'm glad they are still on the go.
Seems like yesterday when I first saw them live in 1982.
Anyway thanks and bye for now.
can I get your email address please mate, mine is ryanmarsden@bigpond.com

Omd had the same fault at Maine road gig. I think they were miming mostly to a backing track.
Was here an amazing night. Passed out and awoke to let there be love.
I remember tapeing this off the radio.
Was here brilliant concert saw this tour 3 times that year xx
Me too
Great times Superb Best live!Mel king of drum change the sound
What a night …….
It was 1991, and yes OMD and the Stranglers supported, I went with people from Bloxham and Banbury and it was quality
I was there, what a great gig that was x
Shit, Love Song is unreal...Wow...
I remember this well, I was being crushed right at the front with my girlfriend.Awesome x
Great day out, was there with my brother, with a coach load from Banbury.
Remember Malcolms bass reverberating during Real Life....then the place went fuckin mental when Love Song kicked in!
Thank you for this!!!
Jared Jackson You are most welcome Jared.
Bye for now!
Great memories of a great day. Not quite as good as 86 at the bowl but still amazing.
Was at Maine road Manchester gig of this tour
