Best version of this outstanding song. Flipping heck. John was a fabulous bass guitarist. He is the icing on the cake on this song. R.I.P to him

[@zippy5466]

My favorite band at it's absolute best, firing on all cylinders, lyrical brilliance, spectacular vocals, metronomic drumming, beautiful keyboards and atmospheric guitar work combine for the most moving music I've discovered in this lifetime. I have seen hundreds of bands and appreciate it all but these guys always did it for me. Kudos....

Mick’s keyboard playing out of this world love to see him back in Simple Minds saw them 1985 and years past that. They just get better and better.Proper music and a band that can play

[@totofan962]

That was the best tour with the best line up ever. Timeless songs at the time. SM at their peak.

And now we have to wait for a miracle to happen for the whole Rotterdam concert to be released on Blu Ray!

The golden age of Simple Minds with great musicians and great moments of communion with the audience with the Divine MickMac Neil. I’m 64 years old and these are the best moments of my life where SM has played a big role

I was looking for this version for a long time... This backing singer is incredible... She was a big part of music video shows in the 80s...
