Scottish modern rock figureheads Simple Minds will have Acoustic In Concert released on DVD, Blu-Ray, DVD + CD and digital formats by Eagle Rock Entertainment on 16 June.

Don't You (Forget About Me), Waterfront, Alive And Kicking, Promised You A Miracle and Sanctify Yourself are just some of their anthems to be given a new life in this stripped-down format.

The set, and the new releases, also featured versions of David Bowie's Andy Warhol, an encore included Richard Hawley's Long Black Train and a finale of Cockney Rebel's Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me) featuring its writer Steve Harley.
