I was 7 years old when I first heard this and I was fascinated by it. 37 years later, it's one of my favorite songs of all time. The 80's were pure magic.
O Boy Simple Minds.. Your Audience Are Truly Alive And Kicking.. _ Love Love Love It * THE WORLD 🌎 IS WATCHING WITH A SMILE ON HER FACE ❤with peace and love from the city of LiverpoolUK 🙌✌️👌✨️🏴👋🤚🖐✋️🖖🫱🫲🫷🫸👌🤌✌️🫰🤙👈👉👆🖕☝️🫵👍✊️👊✊️✊️✊️✊️✊️✊️
Love the 80's and 90's live concert. No mobile phones just enjoy the concert. Alive and kicking is one of my favorite new wave hits. This music never dies.
So grateful this Simple Minds video is here! I absolutely love watching this. Jim and the band is at the top of their game. What a performance! And the orchestra! The audience was so engaged. I'm 62 years old now and I feel like the '80s and 90s just passed by so fast. I would give anything to turn the clock back again. I am into their music - more now than ever!
I am "only" 52, but the 90's were the best decade. Not only because being in my 20ties but it looks like it was the last decade of optimism and innocence. After the cold war, but before 9/11 and all the current crisises. This video brings back so many great memories...
Ya ves somos tantos k nos gustaris reyroceder el reloj pero tenemos k estar contentos pork nosotros lo vivimos y fue maravilloso solo hay k ver aquellos tiempos y los de ahora
Thought they were just another 80s band, liked their songs back then, nothing special. Boy, was I ever wrong. Glad to have the opportunity to catch up.
Of course Don’t You blah blah is the big hit, and I do love it. But this song is epic. It’s a great album and I think this song in particular really stands the test of time. I think it’s just as strong today as it was decades ago.
Amen to that !! 4:42 minutes of sheer awesomeness. I love it when they mix in an orchestra on great rock songs like this one. The crowd is so energized, the good feelings jump right off the screen. For me, Simple Minds BEST song ....
Grandi artisti e ottimi interpreti di musica che ti regala una bella botta di vita ed energia. Vi ricordo quando sono andato a comprare il disco in vinile (LP) e l'emozione di ascoltarvi. Bravi !
All the great bands of that era comes to my memory ... but this live version it´s simply sublime !!! ... I have to thank all the good and nice memories from those years when youth makes you dream on such a beautiful things for you in your life... all those smiles that comes to your face when discover the world and when meet that new beatifull person ... since you was discovering and be accomplished for this great great music... Its simply the best things in your life that NOBODY can take you away from your heart and from your mind... I will be an old man and I will keep smiling and imagine great things and moments when this notes come to my ears... thanks God for that... !! Hope all of you have good thoughts too with this great and emotive music... !!!
@@johnnywalker2022 Heck yeh. I married a Glaswegian. We have two waens and I proudly tell them they’re half Scottish! Love that country and its people!!
No Coronavirus here..those were the good 'ole days when people went to great concerts like this one! So magical! This great masterpiece is pure energy for my soul! Keep the faith in man/womankind! This song give us hope!
What I'm Hearing is a throwback of one of the Most popular song of the '80's ...And what I'm seeing is the beautiful audience & faces of this concert ..WOW !!!
just like you said, how many satisfied people in audience, they expresse pure joy,very positively and very oposite of nowadays,and also in that years, massive drugs and ugly pervert histeries in concerts, that is the reason why The Simple Minds are so great,it's very rare group who declared good, healthy pure emotions like Principe. God Bless all positive people, let the Sun shines in our hearts.Greetings from Belgrade, Zana and Lazar
It's rare but every now and then musicians and audience combine to create something beautiful they are in the zone. This is one of those moments, if you're lucky to be there when this happens treasure it. You often see crowds in top tier cities standing looking bored at the musicians mentally thinking, impress me. Well, you only get what you give, that's the way it works.
Absolutely magnificent, I wish I'd been able to go to that concert... I see that their 2020 programme was postponed for the obvious reason, I hope to see the Minds soon. Wonderful uplifting music, thanks to ogmuk for posting this. Astonishing to think where time has gone! This was 23 years ago!!
Owned just about every SM CD.... love this band... a performance resonating pure joy, enrapturing the audience. They were on a higher level than 99%... and i was "all in"..
Simply Magical!! It's just like to be there and at the same time living in the past when this song came up on the radio years ago. So many good memories, unforgettable. 👍
I'm an American traveling through Brazil, Rio de Janeiro in 2021 And heard this song on the beach. I'm fucking alive and kicking! Live your life people
Brutal!!. He crecido con ésta y otras bandas : U2, Dire Straits, Marillion, Pink Floyd,, etc.. Y otra tan adictiva como Talk Talk. Años con música inolvidable que no volverán.
I miss this music so much. Not too compressed, recorded with some dynamics, great songwriting, excellent production, etc... The 80's had some great music.
Una de las canciones más emotivas de los 80. Un grupo y una música elegante para un público elegante . Ni punto de comparación con la música de estos tiempos obscuros que vivimos
I'm in this with you Tim...missing here the good ole' days when our music had real substance... and the late 70's thru the 80's was seminal...like bests from Bowie and U2 (both many times over), Simple Minds, Peter Gabriel... and so many others in the days...what part of Texas are you in sir? Dallas suburb here....
Love Simple Minds, one the greatest bands ever. I get emotional watching this video, seeing the fans at that time reacting so exuberantly to the music. It's just pure magic.
To me one of the grastest voices i have ever heard . . . Simple minds my faves . . . Dayem!!! I wanna go back to the 80s again! His voice and this song still sends chills thru me! One of the best New Wave bands for sure. Great song. One of the best of the 80's of any genre.
What an amazing group, amazing song and brings back so many incredible memories. Great music is truly timeless and I just turned 57 and still enjoy it as much now, as I have when it first came out. Amazing and so nostalgic. I recall driving in the car, listening to this music and enjoying life. That is what great music should feel like.
What a great music...Not the shit the sell now ! Poor generation now and how lucky we were to have those bands ! I am proud to be 45 now...! Makes me remind my young years and my trips to U.K when I was young...! Regards to all of you from France
Awesome!! I just love this song. I always have. There is only one thing better than great Rock-n-Roll from back in the day...and that's when they throw in full orchestras!
Yeah... especially when he does his utterly pretentious Vic reeves cabaret arteeeest impression and screws up the song. This is one of the few live occasions he resisted .
I saw them in Rome early 90'... so many memories and so much life, this version is AMAZING and takes everything back to the time. Emotions can't be held and they are just comming out as tears. Just crying.
Songs like this are like old friends you used to know. After the pop back up in your life after a long absence, you remember how much you enjoyed having them around.
The thing with the 80s is there was that many good songs in the period so nothing was ever more special than another then when You look back 40 years You realise how really good they all were and what a phenomenal decade it was
one of my fav 80's band / song....a must in my motorbike riding playlist... Haven't heard that song for a long time. It holds up, really a beautiful song. Epic!
I was 7 years old when I first heard this and I was fascinated by it.
37 years later, it's one of my favorite songs of all time.
The 80's were pure magic.
I agree🎉

THE BAND ,THE SONG MY ALL TIME SONG,THE GUITARS,THE PIANOS,THE CROWD ,EVERY THING OK, YEAH
Jimmy Kerr has one of the most unique voices in rock music. He’s just incredible!
Bollocks . Mel drove the fuckers and Kerr became jealous .
Yeah... especially when he does his utterly pretentious Vic reeves cabaret arteeeest impression and screws up the song. This is one of the few live occasions he resisted .
Agreed! I love Jim's voice. It's passion and soul mixed with rock grittiness.
"you'll take me home ,where the magic's from and i'll be with u" best ever!!!
Simple Minds, me emociona ésta canción hasta las lágrimas, que tal recuerdo!
Totally sensational concert & music..love the backing orchestra, crowd having a great time...so good
