    23rd July 1989, Leeds Roundhay Park. My first proper gig. Stood near the front near Charlie. Blew me away and a memory I will cherish for my whole life.

    Without doubt SM are the greatest live band I’ve seen. Their lyrics, the musicality and despite the band members who’ve come & gone throughout the years , it never gets in the way of the way the songs come across. Proper music !

    How do you pick up the threads of an old life ?
    How do you go on when in your heart you begin to understand there is no going back ?
    There are things that time cannot mend, some hurts that go too deep that have taken old
    ... eighties: youth....hope....pure music...

    I'm enjoying this because my generation will never throw anything like this out. You'll never get a band again starting out from scratch and 12 years later they are playing Stadiums. The pay off after all the years of hard work and graft. This is epic but they knew what ride they were on and they catered for it perfectly come this time. The ambition is quite simply totally inspiring. This is what being in a band is all about.

    • @Bradonomous
      @Bradonomous 8 лет назад

      +waldorf3 Watch "Alive in Rotterdam". Jim comes bounding onto the stage in the first notes of waterfront, and it's full throttle from there on... a truly amazing performance. This performance starts with a big crash and then the're all asleep behind thier ridiculous sunglasses. Bands have good times and bad times. This was a bad time. Watch thier 1982 Newcastle CIty Hall gig... this is so boring in comparison. I should know, I was there at Wembley for this. I've saw them in the early nineties in a tiny hall in LA and they were amazing, way better than this crap. Saw them again on the 5x5 tour and it was almost up to the early 80s standards. But this is dirge - pretentious, preachy, dirge. :(

    These new acts could learn a lot from them on how to perform and be humble and how to play instruments.

      @Bradonomous 8 лет назад +2

      +Thomas Edouard I was at this gig. Gunn were mediocure, Texas were amazing and totallly rocked the crowd, then simple minds came on at a laxadasial pace and kinda went downhill from there. You could kinda tell they were exhausted, and Mick was gettting depressed (he left soon after this), they had replaced Derek Forbes with yet another forgettable crappy bassist, and Mel couldn't hit the drums any harder, he was just thrashing away at them 4 to the floor, never allowing for any dynamics. The whole game was over. But they had such a good ride.

    • @Jimmy_Cooper
      @Jimmy_Cooper 7 лет назад +4

      Bradonomous.... Sorry but that is utter posh . I seen them about 10 different gigs over the course of this tour and they were fantastic every time . The bass player was Malcolm Foster from the Pretenders ,so hardly " just another crappy bassist"

Pasionat de muzica fiind, avand si sansa in acele vremuri, ma refer la perioada inainte de 1989 (sunt convins ca intelegi ce vreau sa spun), sa am acces la muzica lor, visam sa ajung sa-i vad live! Visul mi s-a implinit dupa multi ani ... am plecat dupa ei la Helsinki si Berlin ... dupa care am avut sansa sa-i vad in Bucuresti! Mai are rost sa mai spun?

My god they were so good.. My brother says they sound like U2.. Lol.. I like U2 too and I get why he says that.. They have a similar sound but I love SM just a tad more because I love Jim Kerr and his high kicks and his on stage moves and presence.. He owns that stage when on it. x
