Simple Minds - Alive and Kicking. Night of the Proms (Rotterdam, Netherlands 1997). ( There is a higher quality version here: • Simple Minds - Alive &... )
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.
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
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 !
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.
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 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....
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... !!!
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 ....
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.
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!
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
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
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.
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 .
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
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.
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!!
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!
Se pudesse voltar no tempo seria nos anos 80 sem dúvidas musicas que ficaram como hinos, bandas como essa que simplesmente marcaram muitas vidas entre elas a minha. ❤❤❤❤❤

The 80's were pure magic.
I agree🎉
Indeed!!!😊
One of the most underrated bands from the 80s. One of the best playing live, by miles❤
These are the sounds i grew up with...and i couldnt be happier about it. Timeless music.
One of the absolute best and most underrated bands of the 80s
Not underrated by me.
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.

Same age, same here - gotta get the CDs! Gotta!!
I will come with you ... 59 years old , same musical roots

I'm just a little older but I would go back also in a heartbeat💯😎

Fantastic video. You can feel the energy. This band is what rock and roll is all about. Their songs are timeless! That orchestra is the topping!
Absolutely astounding performance. Vocals, guitar, and especially the orchestra makes this an all timer..
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.

I love when others appreciate really good music. Awesome for you. Introduce this music to others and you will pay it forward

@Ace Cayson Yep, no one cares that you are a stupid stalker.

Cette chanson est magique
I can't get enough of this 1997 live performance...feels great to be "Alive and Kicking"
Now THAT is an AMAZING crowd during an INCREDIBLE performance.
NO cell phones in hands.
NO shoe gazing.
Just a great crowd of fans.
RESPECT.
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.
A beautiful live version . Thanks!
