Gig review: Simple Minds/The Stranglers, SSE Hydro, Glasgow
scotsman.com
"The meatier and meaner the bassline – and The Stranglers have plenty of those in their armoury – the more satisfying the sound."

The Stranglers, Gig Review. Hydro, Glasgow.

"For The Stranglers, providing support to Simple Minds in Glasgow, the mass descent to the front of the stage, the few hundred people giving into the sound of Waltz in Black, were soon joined by what felt like the entire population of North Glasgow as the memories of the songs played filtered out into the bar area and the mighty pulse of generous flowing tones captivated the synapses and the energetic heart."

Simple Minds and The Stranglers, O2 Arena, gig review: This might just the best pairing yet
independent.co.uk
"Bassist Jean-Jacques Burnel and “look at me drink a pint while I solo” keyboard-player Dave Greenfield remain the mainstays of the seminal group whose 50 minute set still carries the snarl and swagger of old, from ''Grip'' via ''Peaches'' to their reinvention of ''Walk On By'', and features a potent brace of recent songs too."
