Released in May 1987 as a double LP on Virgin Records, the album reached No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart and showcases the expansive, anthemic live sound that had made the Scottish group one of the biggest British rock acts of the decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eMost of the album was recorded at Le Zénith in Paris on 12 and 13 August 1986, with the performances produced and mixed by Bruce Lampcov. The set draws heavily on material from \u003cem\u003eOnce Upon A Time\u003c\/em\u003e and the preceding \u003cem\u003eSparkle In The Rain\u003c\/em\u003e, including “Ghost Dancing”, “Waterfront”, “Promised You A Miracle”, “Alive And Kicking” and “Sanctify Yourself”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe album also contains several of Simple Minds' defining songs of the period, including “Don't You (Forget About Me)”, “Once Upon A Time”, “New Gold Dream” and the extended “Love Song – Sun City – Dance To The Music” medley. “Someone Somewhere In Summertime” is the exception to the Paris recordings, having been captured live at the Sydney Entertainment Centre in October 1986.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe performances feature the classic 1986 touring line-up of Jim Kerr, Charlie Burchill, Michael MacNeil, John Giblin and Mel Gaynor, augmented by Robin Clark on vocals and Sue Hadjopoulos on percussion. The result is a powerful double live set combining Simple Minds' post-punk origins with the grand, atmospheric and highly melodic rock sound of their international breakthrough period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDisc 1 – Side A\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA1.
