'grandfathers of nu-rave' Simple Minds reform for Nelson

I can't believe the original Simple Minds line-up is playing at Nelson Mandela's birthday gig this Friday, 20 years on from Mandela's freedom show. Promised you a miracle, indeed. B Dolan - teletext the void

so if the original Simple Minds line up (including i guess all the people who ended in German industrial pop band Propaganda) have reformed and if the original Simple Minds were supposed to be an experimental art-punk with electronics band (who might have invented Planet Funk along the way)...wouldnt it be more interesting if they did all that i guess 'grandfathers of nu-rave' post-punk stuff (esp if Mandela mistakes them for Does It Offend You, Yeah? - daft punk vibes not included :lol:) like the original open your mind usura one, the raven maize original one and any others not danced to in the breakfast club....

and esp. since Queen are also on the bill it would be worth good money seeing them recreate Raven Maize's Real Life performance from TOTP!!! :lol: (tho the La Mouche-ness of Fascinated is better)
