Strong ( 6 / 10 ) Q Smash Hits ( 6 / 10 ) Live In The City Of Light is the first ( double LP / CD ) live album by Scottish rock band Simple Minds. It was released in May 1987 to document their successful worldwide Once Upon a Time tour, and charted at No. 1 in the UK. The album spawned one chart single release, a live version of `` Promised You a Miracle ''. The album was recorded mostly at Le Zénith, Paris in August 1986, with one track recorded in October 1986 in Sydney, Australia. ( Although the album was not recorded there, the inside of the gatefold sleeve features a photograph of a concert from the 1986 tour which took place in a square in Locarno, Switzerland ). It features the band 's 1986 touring lineup, which included second vocalist Robin Clark and percussionist Sue Hadjopoulos. Lisa Germano ( at the time, a John Mellencamp band member who would perform on Simple Minds ' next studio single, Belfast Child ), contributed studio - overdubbed violin on `` Someone Somewhere in Summertime '' and former Simple Minds member Derek Forbes contributed ( uncredited ) bass guitar overdubs.
