background:
With Neapolis finished, the 1997 touring lineup got back together
again for a series of gigs across Europe.
They started with their only 'UK gig', a secret filmed performance at VH1's studios in London, as
Simple Minds were Artist Of The Month for March 1998.
The tour was marked by several no-shows (due to illness) and contractural problems (especially the Fleadh festival
in London where Simple Minds were replaced by James).
Most of the touring was limited to France, Germany and Italy.
