Live in the City of Light is a (double LP / single CD) live album by Simple Minds. It was released in May 1987 to document their successful worldwide Once Upon a Time tour, and charted 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 wasn't 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. On the recording of "Someone Somewhere in Summertime", Lisa Germano (at the time, a John Mellencamp band member) contributed studio-overdubbed violin on "Someone Somewhere in Summertime" and former Simple Minds member Derek Forbes contributed (uncredited) bass guitar overdubs.




Live in the City of Light è un album doppio dei Simple Minds pubblicato nel 1987.
Il disco contiene le registrazioni dal vivo tratte dai concerti del gruppo allo Zénith di Parigi (città a cui allude, con tutta evidenza, il titolo stesso dell'album) del 12 e 13 agosto 1986 (ad eccezione del brano Someone Somewhere in Summertime che è stato registrato ad un concerto dell'ottobre 1986 al Sydney Entertainment Centre). Una caratteristica dei Simple Minds era di eseguire alcuni brani dal vivo modificandone completamente la struttura . Per questo album, i brani dove si manifesta più evidente questa caratteristica sono: Promised You a Miracle, Book of Brilliant Things, East at Easter e New Gold Dream.

Live in the City of Light was released as a double vinyl album with the band's logo in gold lettering over black sleeve. The package featured a 12" x 12" attached giant-sized booklet with state-of-the-art photography of the band's performance and outdoor session pictures. This art couldn't be reproduced faithfully on later CD releases (an original 1st pressing on double-fat jewel case and the USA version packaged in a long box on two separate discs).
