CB & JK
Thank you Jim , Charlie and the rest of the Minds, saw you in Liverpool, you really helped me that night , I had been diagnosed with prostate cancer, thankfully its not spreading, but it was still a shock , and that night you guys made me feel pardon the pun , Alive and kicking. Still remember that night well worth the long wait to see you again. You guys are amazing, and Charlie those riffs in First you jump are amazing really , and cherisse she can really drum !!! Thank you
I do feel positive vibes of Italy, different kind of vibration there,the Sun kisses are warmer there, the air hugging stronger, definitely can feel those vibes in this record, thank you, im 47 and your vibes been with me for 40years of my journey on this planet. Love and Light to you.
Simple Minds are way more than a band! They are magical and soul healing like a deep breath of fresh air. To me, Simple Minds are family always moving in directions of my heart!
Wonderful beautiful place and the stars like you always shining bright. a leading group in the world we need your SPECIAL MUSIC thank you for your work and I wish you MUCH MUCH MU MUCH INFINITY SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS.
Since the release of Promised You A Miracle I've been an inseparable fan of this band. After attending the concert in Cologne on May 1st, I realized: Simple Minds are strong and fresh as they used to be. The new released songs are fantastic! My plan is to attend the "50-years-live" concert in Glasgow. Hope to meet some of you there! All the best to the band and the SM-Fan-Community!! Greetings from Cologne, Ingo
Just turned 62yrs old and I have loved Simple Minds since Love Song was a hit here in Australia in 1981. I have been a fan since and Simple Minds are beyond amazing. I am just a simple Aussie and can’t afford to travel to Italy but you guys always make me feel ‘Alive and Kicking’. ✌️🇦🇺🙏
Your music has been a part of my life over 30 years now☺️ Thank you for all the good moments, thank you for breathing the same air, living under the same sun and sharing almost the same time slot here on earth❤️ I hope to see you on a concert some day🫶🏻☀️
I bet you WILL go to a concert one day 🙏 Personally, my dream is to see all their Gigs . I never get tired or bored . Their music has and will always be my therapy .
Long live to the Simple minds that i remember with pleasure with Jim Kerr the karismatick leader and Charlie Burchill the awsome guitarist and strumentist....i' ll remember you forever.....
Hey Jim en Charlie. Ik volg jullie al 40 jaar. Overal in België was ik erbij. Dit jaar in Antwerpen en Nieuwpoort. Voor de dertigste keer. Jullie hebben mij al zoveel enthousiasme bezorgd in mijn leven. Jullie zijn de BESTE!!!!!! 🍀❤️🏴🇧🇪
Simple Minds' music is a lot about feelings and emotions, and these guys are very good at that. They mainly have their own original style and that's what I like the most...
you are a lot of my life Simple Minds, i was born in 1986 and 4 years later i went to my first concert and it was you at Les Vieilles Charrues ! In July 2024 it will be the 10 time i will watch you in live at Les Vieilles Charrues the 14th July
A great video with plenty of positive vibes in the air; a band totally embracing live. But what strikes me the most is the sound in the background of yet another great song: Solstice kiss. Just a piece of it but it sounds absolutely fantastic, just brilliant !! Simple Minds never seems to amaze me and this since the first time I heard them on the radio with Promised You a Miracle. I was a 12 year old kid and they still know to reach that kid in me with every new album they make. Thank you Simple Minds keeping me young(er) ;)
Luce. Luce. Luce. Un gruppo che ha sempre acceso, rincorso, emanato, creato, la luce. Attraverso l'armonia propria della Vita. Intrecci, partiture, ricchezza di suoni e immagini, ricchezza debordante. Chi non riesce ad avere sintonia con il pulsare che trasmette la musica dei Simple Minds non sa, davvero, cosa perde. Un abbraccio di luce e calore, gente. Daje! ❤️
What a band and what a great carismatic person...... Thanks a lot for sponsored a beautiful place like Taormina and a beautiful Sicily....... Thank Simple Minds and Jim.......
Gotta love this band, not only because I almost grew up with their music, I was arround 14 years old when I started listening to them, I remember dancing their songs at high school parties. But also because I've never stoped listening to their music and keep on buying their albums... Saw them 2 live and they are amazing. And I think this is going to be an A++++ album. Can't wait for it to be released This video was really interesting, and enjoyed watching it... can't help listening these guys with their scottish accent. Simply love it 😍🤩
Been to Taormina, Sicily, a place I would otherwise haven't hear of if it weren't for the Simple Minds. And it is everything the members of the band say it is. Breathtakingly beautiful, vibrant, colorful and the people are authentically lovely. Nearly the complete opposite of a little place called Algol at the Island of Skye, which I also immensely love because of its pristine and serene beauty. The album reflects both places to me. Simple Minds, you never fail to surprise and amaze. Thanks you for decades of intense beauty. So glad I have been able to listen to your music from New Gold Dream onward.
Go Minds! Hugs to Jim Charlie and all the folks!!! at this time i'm making a fan review to my youtube channel to promote this album for Brazilian and portuguese listeners !!!
Hey Charlie and Jim, it's so good to see you enjoying the 'life in a day' every day. I am just back from Italy and hope to be in Sicili in spring...I would love to meet up again after living in your musical dream. I came to see you at the Hydro in April and loved it all. We met at Bruce's record shop in 79 and several times in Edinburgh. My girl friends had Charlie showing off his knees in the NiteClub :-) if you remember? Please check out my new album 'seasons of love' which comes out tomorrow 21/10/22 (i would love to know what you think) and molto thanks for all the inspiration over the years. Love and peace, Steve / digisam music.
grandi simple minds vi seguo da circa 10 anni ogni volta che venite in italia.devo venire al prossimo concerto al teatro greco a taormina questo mi manca, deve essere il top...quest'anno a pistoia io c'ero...ci vediamo il prox anno,,,by luigi,m
The good thing about Minds is that they age like wine which is actually they never age, but they make music still so fresh and relevant. Since the release of Street F. Years I have been closely following the band which has been bringing joy and positive energy into my life.
I too follow Simple Minds since a very long time. The've Always inspired my own compositions and music as a bass player and Finally I come from Catania, so It"s for me a great gift to see them working and living in my Island. I'm deadly proud of Simple Minds !!!
For me as an Italian, it is always a caress to the soul to feel the emotions that my country conveys with its thousands of years of history, the most beautiful country in the world. Thanks S M ❤
Hi Jim.from.south africa...I have never been to a simple minds concert I am just wanting to wish u and the band tons of luck going forward .every time is see u on u tube u take me back to wee Jimmy Johnstone when u spoke so highly of him on one of his videos I am a lisbon lions bhoy like yourself ..thinking back to u and Jimmy signing together that was great ..I cannot give u a reason but to me your a special guy to the celtic supporters hail hail thanks Daniel
GREAT collection of songs! Picked up the deluxe version at HMV in Coventry last week. We’d flown from US to Manchester for a visit with family in Coventry and was pleased to see the HMV was still there after so many decades away. Last couple of releases have a modern feel with that fire from the 80’s & 90’s. I’d have to say FIRST YOU JUMP is my favorite track. VISION THING is a great opener. Please get your backsides back to the USA!
Besides being talented musicians, I really appreciate how down to earth they appear to be, in coming to grips with the aging process 😉. I can't stand anyone who thinks they're better than others, and these guys seem to be very grounded in reality.
