I believe they did record the concerts in Paris on video but the band preferred the Alive In Rotterdam video which still never got released! They missed an opportunity there to do a live album & video together. Dafties that they are! All the best!
Absolute powerhouse of talent the voice the face the beauty..where are you Robin. XXX. Not taking away that simple minds were the best thing ever to come out of the 80s and still to this day the best band ever…XX
Wow and wow again. Everyone then was on point for this track. Kerr was fantastic but Robin stole it all at the end with her quite haunting voice. Just a fabulous performance from SM.
Wow. Seeing these legends in the 80s, in their prime, in Europe must have been the bomb. I can imagine seeing them, then going out after to a pub, drinking all night talking about the great show. From the USA with envy.
2024 and still get goosebumps like I did when I first heard it all them years ago, they were definitely the best times to be young. Timeless classics 🙏🏻
This is soooo beautiful. How respectful they are with Robin clark. Those songs would never be the same without her. Thank you simple minds for such beautiful music ❤️ Thank you for sharing.
Watching this in November 2020 from Cronulla Beach Sydney Australia!!!! What more can be said!!! The band and Robin Clark are on song!!! Absolutely Brilliant
Saw Robin tour Australia with SM in 1986... they have turned her down on this recording. She is the best (& loudest) female singer I've ever heard. & it was an absolute riot of a gig - have never forgotten it
Gosh I wish I was a fan of the Simple Minds back then. Then I would certainly have gone to this great concert. Love Simple Minds forever. Love you Guys.
Our house was in walking distance from the Ahoy Hall, Zuidplein subway station. You could see weeks ahead what band would play in the Ahoy. I’ve seen sooooo many.!! Great memories..!!, great times.!!. After that a walk to Larenkamp club house and have a beer or coffee. Good old days.!! Greetings from sunny Dutch Caribbean.!
Thank you so much for this upload. 🙏One of my absolute favourite live videos of SM. Robin still blows me away with those vocals. Damn, they were so good.
Robin Clark still raises the hairs on the back of neck

That's a very powerful song. The 80s were awesome. It's 2024 and look how many people comment on these videos
Robin Clarks voice is one of the greatest voices of the 20th century.
“Robin Clark”! That’s all he needed to say. So much respect for that.
robin clark and simple minds in legend ❤
ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONG'S ❤❤❤
i guess the woman in the background gets gold ... thx dear madam
Robin Clark was the glitter in this band. Love that voice!
What ever happened to her
Absolutely 💯 agree..beautuful
Me too. Awesome!!!!
Just incredible!!!!
She was the band!
Can't get enough...legends!
There will NEVER be another decade like the 80's. Long live the 80's.
Robin Clark tiene una voz impresionante
Ella es una locura, tiene una voz que me hace... más joven. Desde Valencia España.un saludo a todos los que les guste este grupo
This has to be the best live version of this song period.
Don't agree there. It's mixed very badly, sloppy at that. There are better live mixes of the song out there.
I don't think OP is talking about the audio mix, but the performance, which is indeed outstanding.
No. The Paris version "city of lights" is the best. I don't think it was recorded on video, though.
I believe they did record the concerts in Paris on video but the band preferred the Alive In Rotterdam video which still never got released! They missed an opportunity there to do a live album & video together. Dafties that they are! All the best!
Absolutely...perfect
My favorite live version. When Robin sings the bridge I get chills.
However, what a pity that the the bass line is undermixed... The CP80 part is awesome.
What a beautiful voice she has!!
Im going back to 80s if I find a time machine n I'm staying there cus it's as close to heaven as u can get
Just learned who Robin Clark is. Always loved that part where she vocalized. Now, I'm in love. Lol
When I thought it wasn’t humanly possible to love Robin Clark any more than I already did… (swoon)
Am totally in love !!!
She was a bad ass...she made that album special.
My goodness. Can you imagine being at your wit's end...and Robin Clark bringing you back. She's done that for people.
MS ROBIN CLARK ❤❤❤❤
Robin Clark's voice and range is amazing ..
Defo
The pair ... the contrast... lovely!!!
The 80’s what a great time it was to be alive then!!
Robyn Clarke - fantastic solo backup singer..
I always wanted to be Robin Clark when I was growing up. Still gets me to this day - what a voice and song.
What a gorgeous song!! Such beautiful vocals and beat!! I have listened to this song for over 30 years!!
One of my favourite 80’s music
robins voice makes you insane its soooo sooo good.
Robin Clark!! God Bless xx
She makes me cry.
Absolute powerhouse of talent the voice the face the beauty..where are you Robin. XXX. Not taking away that simple minds were the best thing ever to come out of the 80s and still to this day the best band ever…XX
I❤SIMPLE MINDS +Only Robin Clark
Wow Robin Clark! Blown away
There was something different in the air in 1985.
I saw these around that time at Birmingham NEC. Bloody good
Totally Awesome, it really comes get me......god bless the 80's
Carlos Alomar - you lucky guy, to be married to this absolute goddess!!!
Es el mejor directo, lo he escuchado mas de 100 veces y no me canso
Wow and wow again. Everyone then was on point for this track. Kerr was fantastic but Robin stole it all at the end with her quite haunting voice. Just a fabulous performance from SM.
I was there, al those years ago. I can still hear Robin sing over Mel's drumfill. It was loud and beautiful. Hair raising moment.
Graduated 85. High School. A seriously fun time.
She is amazing
Wow. I wonder if anyone knew they might have been watching the best performance of the best 80s song at that moment..
Way better to me than don't you forget about me.
Would have been utterly amazing if Robin had been with them in Rotterdam in 97. That massive stage production really needed her to cap it off.
ROBIN CLARKE What a voice eh?
Finally, one of the few live versions of this song I could find in TH-cam where Robin Clark does the backup vocals.
Great band and best song ever.
Yes totally agree.
i agree with out Robbin is horible
She has a powerful and beautiful voice .... I never realised the difference excellent backup vocals can make to a song.
Great versions all over the place , the Verona DVD version is superb, Robin Clark though is truly awesome.
Espetacular demais!
Oque seria dese clássico sem Robin Clarck...
Maravilhosa!!!!
Love Robin. I sure wish she could tour with Simple Minds still. I wonder how her voice is now. I bet she could still hit those high notes.
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I just wanted to hear Robin, she's just amazing
Wow. Seeing these legends in the 80s, in their prime, in Europe must have been the bomb. I can imagine seeing them, then going out after to a pub, drinking all night talking about the great show. From the USA with envy.
I miss those days. Not the 80s, per se, just any time :(
Robin clarke what an amazing voice the line up on this tour was absolutely brilliant lov and respect x always
2024 and still get goosebumps like I did when I first heard it all them years ago, they were definitely the best times to be young. Timeless classics 🙏🏻
Cant't imagine this song without R.Clark & her backing voice...............the song would be so..............well we know
Holy mother of God! What a performance.
Robin Clark just amazing!!!!

This great song/Performance made #Robin #Clark famous!
If ever there was a vocal gymnastic solo that absolutely stole the show this was it ❤
I can feel every hair of my back and my heart is racing.
This is what music is supposed to do.
Our house was in walking distance from the Ahoy Hall, Zuidplein subway station. You could see weeks ahead what band would play in the Ahoy.
I’ve seen sooooo many.!! Great memories..!!, great times.!!. After that a walk to Larenkamp club house and have a beer or coffee.
Good old days.!!
