Good News From The Next World

Information and tour dates coming soon.




The tour programme included forty pages of glorious colour pictures of Jim and Charlie in Jaipur, India, speckled with a brief band update, biographies of the two main players and a brief album discography. It was bound in a corrugated cardboard outer cover (which was used for some of the band's releases at the time).





These tour itineraries were issued for the first leg of the USA Tour. (February to March).



Same cover, different leg. This included early schedules for Greece and France which changed. (March to May).



The European Summer Tour featured The Dancers by Fernando Botero. Why? Who knows? (June to July).



And finally the Autumn Tour itinerary with its magnifient Hereford Bulls, a nod to tour manager Stan Tippins. (September to November).





Many of the tour passes were laminated and included artwork and logos from the Good News From The Next World album.





Others were based on "in-jokes" dreamt up by the band's tour manager Stan Tippins. (In this case, a Hereford Bull in honour of Stan's home county.)




Moore Theatre, Seattle, USA
9th February, 1995
Support: Lisa Germano
Main Set: ... / White Light White Heat / Love Song / She's A River / Banging On The Door / Great Leap Forward / Hypnotised / Don't You (Forget About Me) / Up On The Catwalk / See The Lights / And The Band Played On / ...
An incomplete recording exists in the band's archive. The band were understandably unpolished with Jim asking the audience to bear with them as they hadn't played for four years. Don't You (Forget About Me) was marred by an early mistake, which they recovered from, but the song fell completely flat. More surprising was the response to Up On The Catwalk where Jim expressed surprise: "Thank you. You gave us a great reaction to that song - we haven't played that song in six years. And earlier on, I didn't know if we should play it or not. I guess we'll just have to play the fucker every night now."

The first part of the tape was over-recorded by a Hypnotised soundcheck (which had now taken on the bells-and-whistles of Tim Simenon's remix.) I guess the band wanted to forget this concert. I don't blame them.

This gig was recorded by Virgin with tapes distributed through the Convent Recording Studios. It was not a good contender for release as Jim had to admonish people in the crowd several times. First was when they abandoned Banging On The Door after the intro: "Guys. Excuse me. We don't need this - we don't need this you know. You can be over there. And you can be over there. They came to see us - they didn't come to see this." By the end of Hypnotised, Jim had lost his rag with them: "HEY! HEY! IF BEFORE YOU DON'T GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE, WE'RE LEAVING NOW. FUCKING OUT OF HERE. We've played in this town about twelve times, there's never been any trouble you fuckers." After a pause, Jim had calmed down. "Don't You Forget About Me" At which point another member of the band introduced the song with a drole "Party time".

At the end of White Light White Heat, Jim said: "I'm feeling less grumpy than I did half-an-hour ago. We'll make it up to you." The encores ended on a high.

The Academy, New York, USA
27th February, 1995
Support: Lisa Germano

"I met my wife at the Simple Minds concert in New York City in 1995 as the drummer tossed his sticks into the crowd, I caught one and gave it to the girl in front of me when she turned around. Well we ended up falling in love and next month will be our 25th wedding anniversary and we will be in New York City. I looked up that venue and dates with help from your website, but I couldn't find the actual street address for "The Academy". I reached out to some of my friends in the music industry and they told me that it changed to "The Foxwoods" Theater. I thought you might find this information helpful. Unfortunately I don't have any photos, but we still have the drum stick!" - Brad Smith

Kings Hall, Belfast, Ireland

Apparently this gig was cancelled. However it is not mentioned in the itinerary as it was listed as Day Off/Travel.

"The gig was cancelled because of stage problems. I studied in Dublin at the time and intended to go to the Belfast concert after the Dublin opener, but some crew told me the stage was too big to fit in the venue. No idea if it is correct, but at least it saved me a trip." - Gerd Van Poucke

This gig was recorded by German WDR and broadcast a couple of days later. Another version of the concert was broadcast in Ireland and this included the cameraman walking through the crowds to the stage as an introduction.

There was talk of releasing the concert officially as a CD-ROM package with extra features

Despite being filmed and broadcast, the ideas of an official release halted and the rights fell into a legal grey area - this was later picked up by Immaculate who issued a semi-official bootleg in April 2012.
