Following Simple Minds recent ‘Graffiti Soul’ European tour, Concert Online is pleased to announce the release of the Simple Minds “Gold Edition” USB tour stick.

With 8GB of storage space, the “Gold Edition” USB stick will contain each of Simple Minds’ UK and Irish concerts in their entirety, plus addition tracks recorded during soundchecks, and exclusive backstage video footage of the band at their recent concert in Basel, Switzerland. The gold USB stick, which comes packaged in a stylish collector’s box, will have a strictly limited print run of 222 copies, with a retail selling price of £99.

Effectively, fans will be able to purchase a single memory stick containing Simple Minds’ entire UK and Irish ‘Graffiti Soul’ tour, and what’s more, every concert will feature a different selection of Simple Minds songs. No two concerts have the same set list.

The “Gold Edition” USB tour stick will include concerts recorded in the following cities: Newcastle, Birmingham, Manchester, London, Sheffield, Cardiff, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Belfast and Dublin - over 20 hours of audio performances.

“The Gold Edition USB stick is perfect for those fans who couldn’t attend the concerts” says Concert Online founder Gerrit Schumann, “and no matter where they are based in the world, they can go to Concert-Online.com and either order the Gold Edition USB concert stick or download the MP3s to any or all of the concerts.”

This will be a unique event and the first time in their career that Depeche Mode will perform at the Royal Albert Hall. It's probably a once in a lifetime opportunity to see Depeche Mode play this historic venue and it's sure to be a memorable night.

Don't miss your chance to see Depeche Mode at the Royal Albert Hall.
