>How strange, It seems like we once again agree. I never understood what's so great with both Springsteen and U2. Bono is just another singer who happens to have become famous. And all of a sudden all the world's presidents and prime ministers want to listen to him and have pictures taken together with him. It's really pathetic. If you want to be taken seriously, you must become a singer or an actor first.

Hmm, Tull is coming here in Dec again... already bookmarked.

But if Simply Red comes your way - go there, you might not get another chance at a live performance.
Was there 2 weeks ago at a very nice (small) open air spot in Mainz after missing them in Frankfurt in a bigger place.
Just some guys having fun with music, no tries at a bombastic show.

Instead of a front group we saw only Mick playing some songs he really liked -
which were from other groups and writers.
Most of them well known and nice to hear them played again -
was a very good fit and a great idea IMHO.

Strongly recommended even if Simply Red is usually not amongst my line of "must go" groups.
