Maybe one of the most underrated bands ever, saw them live many times and in 1985 in Glasgow, Bono from U2 just happened to be one of the 1200 people in the crowd, he joined them on stage for the encore New Gold Dream 🙂
The whole album, New Gold Dream, has this same lush dreamy atmosphere. The original pressing of the album used gold vinyl with swirls of royal purple mixed into the record grooves. Love to have you react to the title cut, New Gold Dream. It's one of my all time favorite songs ever.
So glad you liked this, Shawn😊 Another excellent reaction, thank you! Simple Minds are currently (42 years after this song was released!) packing stadiums on a world tour...from the fan videos I've seen of it, they still sound amazing. 'New Gold Dream' is a masterpiece. I love many of their other albums also, especially 'Live in the City of Light' (1987) and 'Real Life' (1991).
My teenage years, saw them in concert multiple times in France. Such a creative band, my love for them is infinite !!!! This album and Sparkle in the rain are my favorite ! 41 years old music love story !!!!
This, underrated?! Dafuq?! Which hole in the ground did you just crawlf from?! Lol This is literally their number one hit and it was all over the place in the 80's and even early 90's! Stop tripping! This is NOT an underrated song! Lol
@@Summon256 WTF are u talking about. This was never a big hit anywhere and only charted in three countries. It was the worst performing single of New Gold Dream. Are u confusing it with another track?
Other good SM: Up On The Catwalk, Hunter And Hunted, Alive And Kicking, Belfast Child, Street Fighting Years, East At Easter, Oh Jungleland, Waterfront, Don't You Forget About Me, Biko, Street Hassle..
Remember aliding a marblezed vinyl out of its gold sleevee...One of the best songs from one of their best album, etherial soundscapes... flows from track to track...they dont really come back to this sound til Big Music...try Blindfolded or Midnight Walking or honest town... Dont recognize the image as simple minds, beautiful, but a little too goth... maybe a fan mix...the symbol i think is the logo from the Bauhaus best of album
Yes...I should have mentioned that about the image...I think it's just a fan upload though, the mix sounds the same to me as the other uploads of the original 12" (maybe that channel remastered it a little, I don't know). I agree about the album!
One of the best record of music history. Best song Hunter and the hunted with Herbie Hancock solo on the keyboards

One of mine too...I almost requested that one instead.
@@intothesunset3 New Gold Dream used to be played in the alternative dance clubs here in Columbus, used to pack the floor!
@@ohfour-seven6228 Cool! I was only nine years old when it was released...wish I could have experienced that!
Yes! Love their earliest albums 🥰

I saw them in Birmingham last month (just happened to be on my birthday!)
I can confirm that they're still spectacular 👍
@@Escapee5931 That's awesome😃 I've never seen them...hopefully someday!

Very underrated track from probably their best album New Gold Dream. Hunter and the Hunted from the same album is my favourite.

One of my favorite 80's band. And yeah, this is their logo.
I love this album. 😁💖
Their sound is very stadium friendly saw them in Glasgow Hampden early 80's.
Such a fantastic song!
Trivia: this is the 12” extended mix 😊
New Gold Dream is good, so is Theme For Great Cities.
My fave by them …❤❤❤
Sounds so good!
