"Lisbon tonight: the jitters? And finally - time to start another tour. I think most would agree that the Big Music album is a bit special. Well, likewise with this tour, it has to be special in its own way, maintaining all the good things from previous but providing something new - something that shows Simple Minds are still evolving even after all these years. And do we get the jitters still with the opening of a tour? Yes - of course we do. But you would never guess it looking at this pic from yesterday's rehearsals. We are having fun really!" - Jim Kerr, 7th February 2015

"Thanks to all who wish us the best for tonight's tour opener. Photographer Alan Wild has kindly provided a little clip that gives the atmosphere of the last days rehearsals - and a taste of things to come. Be warned though - soundchecks/rehearsals etc., are never that exciting but you might like it all the same. Thanks Alan!" - Jim Kerr, 7th February 2015

"Setlist will vary each night, never playing same set twice, every gig unique. Let's start with these songs in Lisbon. First time for Belfast Child for over 7 years. Hope you enjoy." - Jim Kerr, 7th February 2015

"Porto - Blue Sky, White Cloud, Burning Flame. Thanks to the astounding audience in Lisbon last night. You made us feel great as we take another great leap forward with this new tour. Good start - it will get better - and I have much to improve. Re: Porto - arrived middle of the night, spent this afternoon sightseeing with Andy Gillespie. A wonderful city this is. See you later tonight!" - Jim Kerr, 8th February 2015

"Show Number 9: Played best of the tour so far last night in Geneva? It is possible. Andy Gillespie reckons it takes about 8 shows of any tour to really find the right level of performance. Tonight in Luxemborg is show 9. Charlie plays great every night. See you there!" - Jim, 17th February 2015

"The best ever Simple Minds clip? I have no fave but I have some great memories of making this video in Capetown. As for the song War Babies, it is one of my favourites.

"Hi! If you are coming to the shows and you want to take a few pics, then by all means do so. You are entitled to after all. But please don't come near the front and stand with a camera stuck in your face song after song. Why? Well, because we came to play to you, to look into your eyes, to have a human contact... is that not what playing live is all about? So why not put the camera down and enjoy the moment and the show as it is happening? It also respects those behind you who want to watch without a blocked view. Thanks to all for coming to see Simple Minds" - Jim, 18th February 2015

"With the first 10 gigs of this tour now complete, we are really starting to motor. Have they all been perfect? Course not, we are still fine tuning, making improvements etc. Or, in my case - trying not to screw up. The weeks of hard work Andy and Catherine AD did in rehearsals is coming to fruition. All is shaping up well in fact!" - Jim, 18th February 2015

"I Travel: Back in the setlist last night - played for the first time in this Big Music Tour. Sounding as fresh as it did back in 1980. Is this tune really 35 years old?" - Jim, 19th February 2015

"Tonight is the last gig in mainland Europe. Who knows how many miles we have travelled from southern to the most northern part of Europe and all in between? 6 weeks and 29 gigs later from when we started, a lot of fine memories and great shows everywhere. Thanks to all who came to see Simple Minds. Thanks to our remarkable crew who worked so hard in making it happen every night." - Jim, 20th March 2015

"Big Music - Our best ever album? Last week Bittersweet featured, last night saw Liaison made a live debut. In total 13 songs from the Big Music era have now made it into the current live sets - with more to come. Being so Big Music (including deluxe) has now produced more songs considered good enough to feature in our live shows that any other of our previous albums. Does this further the notion/argument that Big Music might be our best album to date?" - Jim, 20th March 2015

"Saw no eclipse - but we enjoyed great audiences in Oslo, Bergen and Stavanger. Thanks to all for showing us such appreciation. See you next time." - Jim, 21st March 2015

"One of the great things about the upcoming UK tour is that more than a few of the venues also featured in our very first UK tour - playing support to (the phenomenal) Magazine in April '79. Stoke, Liverpool, Manchester, Leicester, Newcastle, Oxford and Cambridge in particular are just some of the venues we played back then - and now set to play 36 years later. Quite a difference in ticket price though." - Jim, 24th March 2015

"Despite the effort, the lofty ambition to never play the exact same set on this tour has for various reasons not come to pass. Nevertheless the desire to keep things fresh by bringing in tunes both classics and new continues. Of course bringing something in means another tune is left out. Difficult then to keep all happy, always good to try though. Putting setlists together is as you'd imagine more than just choosing a bunch of fave/random songs. A narrative needs to be presented. It involves mood, dynamics... and, er... combining melodies and words in an order that work more coherrently within the underlying story of that particular show. And it is very much a show that we are presenting on this current two-set tour of the UK. Unless a clearly defined Greatest Hits set or another particular themed set that has been advertised in advance, the live set should be both "in the moment" - showcasing where the band is musically right now - plus show some of the evolving story of the band to date. With a story as long as Simple Minds and a limited amount of time each night, it is inevitable that the story gets edited - sometimes brutally I guess. But it is above all important that the story is always evolving, always growing, always demonstrating new creative life. Above all the chosen set has to motivate the band as they perform, but ultimately move the audience - always the main goal. Liaison the latest addition is shaping up real well. Who decides the setlists? No one really. Things are suggested, we sit down and talk about it, exchange views. Then it is a case of trial and error as we hone and shape." - Jim, 24th March 2015

"24 hours to go until we start the UK tour. We look forward to every one of the upcoming 30 gigs and thank everyone who is planning to come and see us live. Please note that there is no support act. We do two sets with a 15 minute interval. We will go on stage at 8pm at every show. See you there." - Jim, 27th March 2015

"Thanks to all for two very memorable nights in both Edinburgh and Perth. We're lucky in that wherever we go we usually get great audiences. No getting away from it however, the audiences in Scotland are more than special. No Glasgow gig though? Do you really think we'd tour Big Music and not play in our hometown... Glasgow? I don't think so! Look out for news..coming real soon." - Jim, 9th April 2015

"Often asked why tour so extensively? Not too exhausting, too much hard way of life etc? In fact there are many reasons why we tour. Pleasure, sense of fulfillment, connection with fans, myriad rewards.

"Cardiff last night: without doubt one of the best of so many great evenings on this tour. So good - as with Plymouth the previous night - we did not want it to end. Bournemouth tonight, see you there." - Jim, 19th April 2015

"Best audience so far? Don't even think about asking us to nominate the best. Nevertheless, as this picture suggests Cardiff would without doubt be a contender.

"Thanks to you: Last weekend of the Big Music Tour - a real marathon. Played 2 sets nightly, through 66 gigs in 12 countries, in a period of 77 working days. With energy to burn - we're already excited about the UK/Irish/European arena shows in November. Almost 4 decades of touring under our belts, no intention of stopping, on the contrary we want to do all to make our gigs even better. No mistake, Simple Minds are in it for the really long haul. Already working on new music. Greatness to come - hopefully. Thanks to our amazing crew, but above all thanks to all who came to see us!" - Jim, 2nd May 2015
