i Simple Minds, l'arena di Verona, il Violino di Lisa Germano, la chitarra Acustica di Charlie Burchill, scozzese di Glasgow e la fisarmonica di Mick Mac Neil, scozzese delle Isole Ebridi. Il risultato è un trionfo dell'anima. Tutto ciò che noi abbiamo bisogno oggi è contenuto in questi 5 minuti.
Michael McNeil and Mel Gaynor were the lifeblood of Simple Minds back in the heyday. Nowadays I look at the live content of the last few years and feel nothing. I can’t watch it. Simple Minds were up there as one of the best live acts of the 80’s and 90’s
It’s stuff like this that makes them such legends. Nowadays days if a band did this it would breakthrough internet. This was just Simple minds having fun.
1989......... 31 anni fa 😢, CAZZO, CAZZO, CAZZO, vorrei tornare a quei tempi, a quei concerti, a quella spensieratezza che tanto mi manca. Oggi sono alla soglia dei 60 anni, ho famiglia e figli, ma una giornata di allora la baratterei con un giorno qualsiasi di oggi. Ascoltando questa " melodia gaelica" se chiudo gli occhi e svuoto la mente, haaaaa che magia mi vedo all'arena quella sera, quella sera che i Simple Minds ci hanno regalato una serata di grande musica e spettacolo impossibile da dimenticare.
Every time I hear this piece of music, it almost brings me to tears but also makes me happy . When I was 5 years old, my sister (5 years older than me) had a best friend named Stephanie. We three used to be together like every day and wanted to create a music band. I always knew the rhythym and could sing - I don´t know what it is called in English - the "second" voice (like in "More Than Words"). My sister had a beautiful voice and Stephanie would learn all instruments. That was in the 80`s and my sister and "Steffi" always argued about who is better - Simple Minds or U2. I always liked Simple Minds better, The melody was more like a dream to a young child like me. Then we turned older, They were like 16, I was 11 and they went to their first concert (gig, live act, whatever) in their life and it was Simple Minds. I remember my parents standing there, waiting for them to come out and get them home. I was standing beside them and tried to take a glance on to what was going on there inside. This means I actually saw Jim Kerr jumping around on the stage. Time went by and Steph turned almost 17 when she showed this video to us. She called herself „Lisa“ - this should be her artist´s name because of Lisa Germano. She started to play the violin because of her. Then - it´s the worst thing that I can´t remember, why - we all divided and I saw Steph one day (my sister was connected to her all the time) standing at the bus station and somehow I couldn`t ...I don´t know the word, I`m really emotional right now...it`s like not knowing, how to behave in a moment. We greeted each other, she smiled at me, so did I, I will never forget this scene because life can be really cruel. Who knew? She seemed immortal to me, She was like a person who would always be there and never would leave my life, as if she was an immortal highlander. She never left my sould. She was my friend, my sister, my family,my heart. I love her so much. She was killed by a car on her bycicle 15 years ago. When she died, I searched for this song like an idiot. I love her so much. And I love Simple Minds so much ;) Thank you for great memories
Saw the Minds in Munich in 86 and 89, both superb shows, I missed the 85 show because the next day was my chemistry exam at Munich university, would have loved to see the show, but you cant always get what you want...
Lisa, I saw you two years later in the USA playing with Johhny Mellencamp......2004 in Auckland (NZ) in a gig with Neil Finn and some members from Radiohead.....and you're still wonderful.
Ho una foto dove sono nello stesso posto inquadratura , nella quale è ripreso Jimc'è una vista stupenda di Verona , neanche farlo apposta😊 bella performance👍
BONS TEMPOS, EM QUE AS PESSOAS ERAM FELIZES E DESCONTRAÍDAS. NÃO COMO HOJE, NESTES TEMPOS DE FARSA E MENTIRA. DESCULPEM ME O SAUDOSISMO. LINDA MELODIA, JÁ AGORA
