On the 8th March 1983, the “New Gold Tour” reached France and the band could be found at La Salle Mutualité in Paris.
The setlist had settled down and the band was comfortable with the tracks and their arrangements.
“Absolutely Live” is a slice of this concert, chopping the opening tracks (“King Is White And In The Crowd” and “Glittering Prize”),
and truncating the finale (“New Gold Dream (81,82,83,84)”, “Love Song” and “Sweat In Bullet”).
What remains is the poorly recorded centre portion of the performance with fluctuating volumes, clipped high tones and varying degrees of clarity.
As I was in the vault (See my previous torrent), here is a fresh rip of a bootleg well known by the Simple Minds community.
