5x5 LIVE TOUR 2012
Ce qu’en a pensé Vik :
« Le "5x5 Live" arrive! Le Someone, Somewhere in the Summertime ... de ma jeunesse, le début de ma relation avec Simple Minds ! C’est peut être une tendance, une mode destinée à passer, le seul moyen pour gagner sa vie, mais depuis quelque temps les concerts sont devenus "thématiques" ou mieux "anthologiques"» puisque certains artistes et groupes ont décidé de déterrer les albums de leur passé, d'éliminer la poussière et de les remettre en circulation-nostalgique pour le faire redécouvrir sur scène lors des représentations définies comme rétrospectives. Simple exploitation commerciale? Peut-être, mais certainement bien accueilli par les fans comme vous le savez sans doute. Cette fois-ci c'est au tour de Simple Minds, groupe pop-rock-new wave formé en 1975 qui n'a pas besoin d'aucune introduction et que tout le monde connaît sans avoir pourtant achetés malheureusement leurs 16 albums et suivi leur évolution musicale. Sur Q magazine on pouvait lire cette phrase affirmative "U2 would not exist without this band" qui veut tout dire. La tournée s’appelle "5×5 Live", et dans un spectacle de plus de deux heures le groupe jouera 5 chansons des premiers 5 albums qui ont fait l'histoire de la bande écossaise: Life In A Day (1979), Reel To Reel Cacophony (1979), Empires And Dance (1980), Sons And Fascination/Sister Feelings Call (1981) et New Gold Dream (1982), tous ayant eu un impressionnent impact sur la scène musicale de l’époque. Donc un grand nombre de bonnes et "classiques" chansons, maintenant sans les étiquettes "expérimental", "post-punk", "new wave" ou "électro-pop", mais reconnues comme des véritables morceaux intemporels.

...And somewhere there is someone
Who can see what I can see?
Someone, somewhere in summertime
Someone, somewhere in summertime...»
Who can see what I can see?
Someone, somewhere in summertime
Someone, somewhere in summertime...»
