I was supposed to be at Bournemouth. Covid obviously did its bit to keep cancelling the show and then I went and got cancer!!! I spent that day hooked upto a nice bit of chemotherapy. All I can ask for is good health and maybe another chance to see the band
Hi Lee I was there too Block B Row J Centre Stage VIP and for a couple of 62 year old Guys Jim/Charlie (Im 59 this year!) they still sounded great and get better like a fine wine! ...........Been following this group since 1979 and saw them as a support group at a gig in Malvern(I was only 15) Everyone had a great night and it was well worth the 2 year wait although it felt like it was never going to happen........thanks for uploading the video and regards Paul
Hi ya Paul, I totally agree with your comments I’ve followed them for a long time now and they never let people down, just an amazing live band. Roll on the summer outdoor gigs..👌
Jim looks like he means every word he sings,you can bet he does! He's still a great singer! This anthemic song speaks to the mostly Irish blood in my veins!
Mick was a writer on everything they recorded until Street fighting years in 1989. He left because he wanted to take a break because they had been constantly recording and touring for 11 years by that point but Jim and Charlie wanted to go to Holland to start work on the follow up to street fighting years as they were on a roll so Mick said you can go to Holland but I Wong be with you and that's why Mick left. if they had agreed to his wishes and taken a break he would probably still be in the band now. He has stated he is open to working with the band again. He doesn't hold any grudges. too much water has passed under the bridge he said but Jim and Charlie are too stubborn and pig headed to swallow their pride and ask him. When asked what era of the band would he like to take the band back to he said sons and fascination, how cool would that be? this might be an Irish folk song with different lyrics but it's Micheal Macneil' s keyboards with Charlie's guitar that make it what it is. When he left he took the soul of Simple minds with him and they have been a quarter as good since.
Did you not get the reference to our current troubled times, tenuous I know but any reference to the tyranny and atrocity is a worthwhile and relevant one.
God they sound tired and worn out and this bunch of hired hands are the worse yet and I have been a fan of this band since 1985 but until they swallow their pride and ask Mick back it will allways be a faux Simple Minds. sorry but that's a fact.

This song still gives me goosebumps. Simple Minds is a band that will live on forever.
sorry michael but simple minds is already dead! rented musicians and woman in the band
love the band and this song, grew up with them. love how ageing rockers still cut above the crap out there now, real music always will.
They are still the owners of my life-time music, through the younger years and still now as grandpa with five grandchilds....
Brilliant as ever. See you in 2024 🎉
Blessed to have been at this gig...truly bloody brilliant!!! Lost myself in the whole performance!!
you're a happy one!
An amazing version….history repeating itself
I was there, best Simple Minds concert I’ve seen
Loved them in the 80's. This song is a classic. Knew that when it came out!

Time, cruel enemy.
It does xx
Nice
Please find me a one way ticket back to the 80s
great times my friend..i was 21 in 86
Fuck me Charlies grown into that guitar hasn’t he 🤔
Was there in Brighton,the best concert I have ever been to.Can someone tell me the name of the fantastic keyboard player?
Berenice Scott
Thy were in groningen, maxnificent band, briljant.
Why is Kerr moving around like he's stuck in a slo-mo video.
Why is Charlie’s guitar 🎸 turned down sooooo low.? Turn it up man.
Lead guitar sounds lost in the mix during the solos, might as well not been playing.
Who’s the lady on the drums??
Cherisse Osei, shes awesome
Who’s the keyboard player?
Who wrote this song? Or collaborated on it? Was Mick McNeil one of the writers on a lot of their early music? A haunting beautifully written song.
its a old irish folk tune..she moved thru the fair..they just used different words

Who the fuck is the drummer ? she is fantastic but then I'm a drummer
How naff. When they play that in Ireland you can hear groans in the crowd.

I can´t sing but I sing anyway.
Learn to sing an play self taught, maybe we have the same voice coach, Simple mind's och I the new, Scottish
