Dancing Barefoot EP single




Fleming Connolly Lander

Patti Smith and her then-producer Todd Rundgren both played a part in influencing the Simple Minds sound, hence Dancing Barefoot has been incorporated into the band's live set on many occasions*, always receiving a fantastic audience reaction.

The EP will also include versions of three other classic tracks: Gloria by Van Morrison, Being Boiled by The Human League and Love Will Tear Us Apart by Joy Division all get the Simple Minds treatment.
