    Legends are never afraid to sing live! Jim Kerr is one of them!
  • I graduated in 1986. People these days just don't understand how good our music was. "The Breakfast Club" is such an underappreciated movie.
  • @ronstlouis2745
    They are playing to a half empty room but they are producing a stadium performance! That’s a sign of greatness.
  • The drummer is so fantastic!!!!!. A lot of energy, awesome, great band Simple Minds !!! I love them!!!!
  • Probably maybe half the audience or more were not even born when this classic came out.. Jim still rocks!!
  • @albertdong
    The drummer is pure magnetic magic.....she's the centre of the whole band
  • @Roddiie
    His voice is still amazing over the years... So talented❤
  • You know what a great song is? when after all these years you still get excited to hear it, tap your feet and sing along‼️

    One of the best bands ever in Rock history!!! Kerr's voce and Charlie's playing are still top notch!!! A song that will last for ages!!!

    Dec. 1985. Driving licence rookie. First journey with my two best friends to Cortina d'Ampezzo (into placed family caravan all winter) without my parents. 350Km, old Ford tiny car 900cc from my town nearby Rimini. 6 hours of Simple Minds 🙂 I think we listened 30 times "Don't you forget about me..". In Cortina, thanks to my cousin, we met a group of girls which studied in local secondary school (wood and textil arts). Someone of them from Corvara, Belluno, or Pustertal. There was a skinny pretty girl, short hair, like Patsy Kensit but brown. I was very shy at that time so I can't understood if something I felt was the same also for her. So I investigated the matter some months later back with another friend (he completed military duty two weeks before). So during an evening winter walk at -15°C I was finally alone with Lorenza, hand by hand for the first time. My friend and the girl from Corvara some tens of meter ahead. While I am discussing about last book reading, the main M. K. Gandhi biography, she stopped my bla bla kissed me for 7 minutes! 🙂It was the first time and my first girl for one year. With Simple Minds soundtrack, natürlich! Other long journey, also for a weekend only, but to Bruneck destination than Cortina (+80Km).🙂

    Superb! brings me to tears it was so good! The saying "that woman is beating those drums like they owe her money" goes right here!
  • @BenReel

  • @adaocezimbra

    Of all the 80s bands that are still "alive and kicking" these days (and making various come-backs), this band still sounds so truly energetic and emotional in true 80s form. Just epic!
