I agree, and another Legend is Simon LeBon of Duran Duran. I think the only time he hit a note off key was in Band/Live Aid singing "A View to a Kill" and it was caught on video. But, you figure, after 45 yrs singing. Having one little mistake is amazing!
@@BRUTUSPLAC Roger that! Back when MTV & VH1 actually played music videos! We grew up in such an awesome time. I watched MTV more than any other tv shows when I was in HS. I got to meet Billy Idol in '84 when he came to Tampa. He was pretty cool. Take care of yourself. Cheers from America!
Never known another programme like it, a well known act might play alongside some African tribal drummers - and all of the performers get a chance to appreciate each others talents.
My old boss loved Rush before they were worldwide huge. Came to his town and literally 50 people showed up to the 5,000 seat arena. Instead of canceling he said they called everyone down to the stage and played a 3hr set like it was totally packed.
They are however I’m struggling with the bass player.. I think he was in prefab sprout???. Absolutely no personality and I’m suspicious about what he is actually playing.. I suspect things are on a loop and he might put a few chords in.. I’m sorry but simple minds means so much to me I just can’t help be sceptical
Of all the 80s bands that are still "alive and kicking" these days (and making various come-backs), this band still sounds so truly energetic and emotional in true 80s form. Just epic!
This wasnt one they wrote. They didnt want to do this one originally. Theres a long long story about it. Jim and Charlie took a lot of convincing to record this track back in the day.
@@lenwennerberg1631 I had no idea. I will have a listen. Reeks of too little, too late from Billy as he must’ve been kicking himself for knocking back the song in the first place.
Dec. 1985. Driving licence rookie. First journey with my two best friends to Cortina d'Ampezzo (into placed family caravan all winter) without my parents. 350Km, old Ford tiny car 900cc from my town nearby Rimini. 6 hours of Simple Minds 🙂 I think we listened 30 times "Don't you forget about me..". In Cortina, thanks to my cousin, we met a group of girls which studied in local secondary school (wood and textil arts). Someone of them from Corvara, Belluno, or Pustertal. There was a skinny pretty girl, short hair, like Patsy Kensit but brown. I was very shy at that time so I can't understood if something I felt was the same also for her. So I investigated the matter some months later back with another friend (he completed military duty two weeks before). So during an evening winter walk at -15°C I was finally alone with Lorenza, hand by hand for the first time. My friend and the girl from Corvara some tens of meter ahead. While I am discussing about last book reading, the main M. K. Gandhi biography, she stopped my bla bla kissed me for 7 minutes! 🙂It was the first time and my first girl for one year. With Simple Minds soundtrack, natürlich! Other long journey, also for a weekend only, but to Bruneck destination than Cortina (+80Km).🙂
Love Charlie's playing. He has such great atmospheric sensibilities, like his guitar is a backdrop for the overall sound of the band. I think Billy Duffy of The Cult has similar sensibilities, but more of his guitar is at the forefront of his band's overall sound due to less keyboards in their music.
@@cocktailhotel Yes completely agree there. Geordie Walker of Killing Joke has again similar qualities in as his guitar creates atmospheric textures and is a huge part of the band’s overall sound!
Spot on guys. Charlie, Billy Duffy, and Geordie are three of my favourite guitarists. They all have individual, instantly recognisable styles. John McGeoch as well.
Makes me proud to be from Glasgow .Scotland has produced many good bands but none of them have stood the test of time that Simple Minds have.Fantastic band.
Everyone is "on" in this performance--the energy is fantastic!!! Jim Kerr, Charlie Burchill, Ged Grimes, Gordon Goudie, Sarah Brown, Cherisse Osei and Berenice Scott. 🌟👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🌟!!!
I have never seen like this so fantastic live performance, sound better than the original recording, especially, I strongly agree with many people say that a female drummer is so incredible.
WOWOWOWOWOW!! Sounding great!! One of my favorite songs and one of my most favorite movies ever! Also, your drummer is absolutely GORGEOUS !! LOVE her beautiful hair.
That was good, all right, and I love Cherisse Osei, the drummer! But this 2014 performance is the best version I think - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XCnpOcxVvuA.html
Fantastic song and voice, so good and refresh new members, and so strong original members of the band. Its an absolut classic of all times, eternal Simple Minds, live long to 80's classic, one of the best hits of world music. Simple Minds its simply a lot of emotions and remembers of our history lifes. Wish a long live to you!
I was an 18 year old from Canada hitch hiking around the UK. I saw them in a little club in Newcastle in 1980. Amazing. I recently found the old ticket stub!
The best bit about this is the look on the other artists faces as they realise they are present at a master class. Once again Jim and the band show how it should be done, long may they reign!
I can't decide the best reasons I keep returning to this. Christine and the queens dancing along lost in time, Cherisse on the drums absolutely destroying it, Jim's voice at the 'won't you call my naaaaaaaaaaaame' section. Perhaps it's just an incredible song and performance!!
Na década dos anos 80" eu adorava ouvir esta música, e Hoje eu digo pra mim mesmo: EU TENHO BOM GOSTO ! continuo adorando ouvir essa obra prima no formato de musica.
Followed these guys since 1981 when Love Song was released in Australia. I love this band. They could break wind in a bottle and l would buy their album. Keep kicking guys✌️🇦🇺🙏
Sometimes small things, unpretentious projects, become miracles for some unknown reason. That a simple movie about a bunch of confused kids jailed in school was so unbelievably special as to be a part of watcher´s sentimental life is weird, and great. The match in heaven that "The breakfast Club", in all its innocence, and the song is, still can move me in the sweetest way, decades after both.
