Simple Minds Tickets

I never got to see SM back in the day so I was cautiously excited when I saw they were coming to Boston. They did not disappoint! A great 2 1/2 hr show with a break. Jim was very engaged with the audience shaking hands constantly and making eye contact and gestures to the crowd. He appeared genuinely happy to be there. They played everything that I wanted to hear and then some. The backup vocalist was amazing also. A great show overall.

ITS WAS SO BAD I ACTUALLY WALKED OUT. ALL THE SONGS WERE SLOWED DOWN, NO ENERGY, AFTER 40 MINUTES THEY TOOK A 20 MINUTE BREAK AND CAME BACK WITH A LAME GUITAR/SYNTH DUO THAT SOUNDED LIKE A CASIO SOUNDTRACK TO A VIDEO GAME, FOLLOWED BY A CRAPPY COVER OF KRAFTWERK'S NEON LIGHTS B Y THE FEMALE SINGER. WHEN THE BAND RETURNED, THEY CONTINUED WITH LAME ENERGYLESS VERIONS OF THEIR SONGS. PATHETIC. THE SOUND WAS ALSO BAD, JUST A WASH OF LOUD VOLUME WITH NO DEFINITION OF THE VOICE OR THE PARTS. ONE OF THE WORSE SHOWS IVE EVER SEEN. THEY ARE JUST MILkING THE SYSTEM AND PROVIDE NOTHING TO THE CONSUMER. A FAR CRY FROM THEIR SHOWS OF THE 80S.

Amazing Show ! Haven't lost a step - Sounded Great - and crowd was with them every step of the way....

I'm still blown away from this show. The band sounded phenomenal and the crowd was receptive to it. Jim's vocals were perfection and the female vocalist was outstanding. I didn't sit the entire time and didn't want the night to end. You can also tell that the band truly are enjoying themselves which only adds to the magic. I hope they come back soon and the Wilbur was a perfect venue.

Played all the best, 23 songs in all. Sarah Brown did a wonderful job with background vocals to compliment the bands wonderful performance. Wish the lighting was better set up do it was directed straight at the eyes of the audience making it difficult to see the band on detail. Wish they had played 'C Moon'.

The Simple Minds were fantastic in concert. I must admit that when I bought the tickets I did not know what to expect due to the fact that the Simple Minds have not performed in the US in past twelve years. I always thought that Jim Kerr had a strong voice but seeing him in live concert was unbelievable. His vocals were dead spot on. He is quite a showman and really got the Boston crowd in the mood for a fun night. I have been to many great shows but this one was fun to watch as the crowd was standing and dancing with the music pretty much the whole night long. Thank you Simple Minds for choosing Boston as one of your stops and I can only hope that your group will come back soon.

Great show so wore the years of waiting for Simple Minds to return to the your the US.

The music was great. However the lighting was horrible. It was like staring into the sun the whole night.Its all about taking pictures and videos. I will never go again. If you have tickets bring your darkest pair and look at the ground. I wish I could include a photo. He should be happy people bought tickets, that how he thanks his followers. I go for a lobster dinner next time he is in Boston. RUDE !!!

Sound was fantastic, lights were the best I've seen in an intimate concert venue. Many people had come from all over the state to hear the band. Simple Minds' performance equaled all of the greatest concerts have ever been to.

I love the Simple Minds and the show was amazing! I can't wait to see them again.

WOW! I've been waiting since high school to see this band (which is one of my favorite bands). Almost 25 years later and these guys still put on an awesome show. I took my wife (also a SM fan) and my kids. They really enjoyed it. The venue (the Orpheum L.A.) was a great place to see them.

There was so much to like about this show. The Orpheum theater is beautiful, has amazing seats and sightlines, and the sound was VERY good (and I'm super picky)! From 3rd row of balcony, could see everything perfect and close-up. Highly recommend seeing a band here (and if it's sold-out, show up early if you want food nearby - very crowded). Then Simple Minds put on an outstanding show! 2 sets separated by an intermission - no opening band. All their greatest hits, and those songs I wasn't familiar with still sounded incredible in this room. I'd listened to a couple of their more recent live recordings and was frankly a little nervous (bad mixes). But here everything sounded perfect. Such a great blend, and the crowd had INCREDIBLE energy (which is saying a lot for L.A!). Do not like old 'has-been' cheesy 'retro' bands, and they did NOT sound or perform like one!

It doesn't get any better than seeing one of the greatest bands of the 80's in a reborn grand theater like the Orpheum.

Like being reunited with a long lost friend while the world stands still. You remember, then catch up, then learn. You stand amazed at the passage of time, but feel stronger for it. This was an amazing night with a band who loves their music and their fans. Two hours of enthusiasm, energy, and euphoria. They put everything they had into the music and held nothing back. You could see their joy. Was it really that good? I watched a bunch of concert vids from 1980 on after the show, just to be sure that I wasn't just being nostalgic. Nope. I was right: Jim, Charlie, and Mel have only gotten better. We miss Mick and Derek, but the "new" guys hold their own. And Sarah is a gem. Everything was magnificent. May they grace our shores again - and soon.

They sounded great! Venue was a bit too small for such a well known band. They should play a larger venue outdoors! They have a big sound and my ears were hurting going into the second set. Took some steam out of me.

Incredible show. Amazing venue. Every seat is great at the Orpheum, and having Simple Minds back in LA, was unbelievable!

Simple Minds pulled out the stops and cranked out fantastic hit after hit in true form! The band is running on all cylinders! It was great to hear, firsthand, the lush wall of sound they create! Go see them!

I was reluctant about the show that because of a heavy work load that week and the show was on Tue. We were on the front of the balcony and seating was very comfortable. We were near speakers and thought it was going to be very loud, but the acoustics and the mixing was excellent. The show flowed very well. All in all I was very glad I went. If you get a chance to see this show, GO! Especially if it is in a great venue like the Orpheum Theater in LA.

Simple Minds is amazing! Orpheum is a great venue.

The concert was absolutely amazing. If you get a chance to see the live, go for it.
