Thanks for adding me......when I first listened to SM I was 22 years old battling the worst suicidal depression from a life of abuse. I had become extremely religious and was attracted to the cover of New Gold Dream. The songs were mystical, transcendent and I projected my own life into the music.......Sparkle in the Rain raised my consciousness...it gave me chills....out-of-body-experiences........I survived.... I earned three degrees and have worked in hospitals, taught public school 20 years...I think I am a pretty happy person today...6 years ago I found Graffiti Soul.......wow......a few months ago I came across Walk Between Worlds.....again its a life changing experience....Last Monday saw them for the first time!
It was so exciting and sexy to be young in the 80s.... in your twenties and living with a gorgeous nutter. Music like this forming the backdrop- no internet to mess with you. I miss the craziness.
I have followed simpleminds since I was a wee boy, the band is epic, timeless and never boring. They are still at the top of their game after all these years, what a band what a team, what epic music.
LOVE it!!!! This band has followed me in my life since the 80's and finally, in February I will see them live in Copenhagen! Miraculous! I saw Cherisse Osei playing in the Bryan Ferry Avonmore tour - EXCELLENT! Wow!
I was there that night and hearing the acoustic version again, it takes me back to The Live In The City of Light album. The version off that live album is still my favourite.
Vi h0 conosciuti nel 1981 e da allora sono cresciuto con voi come maestri ,meno male che vi ho conosciuto se no non so dove sarei arrivato Grazie Grazie Grazie ❤❤❤❤❤❤🖤🖤🖤🖤💣👊👍
Oh my goodness me too!!! They are amazing and brings back so much beautiful memories of the eighties and I am still a fan I reminisce every morning before going to work!. WOW!❤
I've always loved the SM but I have to admire the decision of Jim, Charlie, and the SM production team to add three strong women artists into the band. The drummer, OMG!, and singer Sarah Brown really bring vitality into the already kick ass SM sound. I wish the red head wasn't stuck in the back corner and was more out front in this show; who plays keyboard, too, in other recent SM videos. Love how SM folds new artists' energies into the already great SM sound! +++++++++++++++++++++
She's called Catherine A.D. (The Anchoress). She's also sang with Manic Street Preachers, and is in the process of recording her 3rd album. Her album The Art of Loving, won many accolades.
I am a top fan of Minds since 1984, this song has always been my favorite, going to the acoustic concert in June in Dublin, can't wait plus hopefully that gorgeous Drummer will be there
Haha Im a little over 3 years late but better late than never, fantastic version, absolutely loved the original and this was in its own right brilliant, .......................but what about that drummer.................... wow absolutely first class, looked like she was having a ball.
I'm in the city of light as I try to watch this and staring at the eifel tower- I can only thank you tubers for posting the magnificent performances and arrangements of yesteryear.
Quella dei Simple Minds e' una musica coinvolgente, che fa sognare, e fa navigare con la fantasia. Anche se sono passati tanti anni sono sempre innovativi e sulla cresta dell'onda.....
I am Flabbergasted. Absolutely Blown Away. I didnt know this was blooming. I chased SM 4evr. 1982. And up. TY. I REALLY NEEDED A GOOD CRY. I just didnt know it. The memorys. Big Bear, Lake Arrowhead Hilton Lodge (u get that chance, ) SOOOO GO GO GO. I ache for that area utterly every day. Fires burned alot and CRESTLINE got damaged. GO. whoa totally didnt say. CA. SAN GABRIEL MTS. Sanbernadio.
Very special concert. Jim Kerr employs black artists. 50 years ago I fought against apartheid. For my thanks, after being beaten by white racists, my Nigerian wife cheated our house. I lost my white Family.
Graham Drinkell that’s because Jim is Scottish mate and we honestly don’t care about anyone’s colour. But if anyone treats us badly? 😑 she’s an ace drummer eh
Brilliant version of this absolute classic. Not many people make electronic dance music in this way with traditional instruments. The only other band i can think of that's successfully done it is Onuka from Ukraine.
Simple minds fait partie des grands groupes de rock prog avec Genesis, Pink floyd, Yes , Roxy music, ,Camel, Supertramp, Mandfred Mann , Tears for fears et quelques autres . Ils étaient tous de sacrés musiciens et de sacrés compositeurs.
Ya te digo.. tocayo 😃.. yo Los vi en directo... inolvidable.. éso sí.. con el batería original..Mel gaynor.. que para mí.. uno de los mejores.. saludo2..😉🎧😈
By myself Never They are in my all time top ten bands Of Forever I’ve loved them before they were simple minds And we’re the House band in mars bar In GLASGOW OUR CITY MY CITY THEIR CITY THE MAGICAL SIMPLE MINDS FROM BONNIE SCOTLAND 🏴

Such a moving story (and so similar to mine). I wish you all the best @David!

Aileen. that was my life! Thank you.
I'm still living it (in my 80'shead!!!)
Absolutely! The 80's were awesome. Even without the phones and web.
Yep all we had in the 80s was the old style telephone 📞 lol ... but boy we could get together and paaarty
This is music for the people in the age of 50+ , means for me !
So pure music, love it!
Thank you Jim and Charlie for all these years of a New Gold Dream!❤️🙌
I'm wordless..one of the best version ever played by this fantastic band...a new gold dream still needed since longtime..
LOL .. whatever

Absolutely incredible! The drummer really pumps up the energy!
@Kenneth....yes...cherrise have power...love her at the drums...
Not quite mel but different
Simple Minds numero 1, Jim Kerr un'icona della musica ancora oggi e Cherisse Osei fantastica alla batteria.

I love this version. Fell in love with S.M when I was 15, now 55! They still sound just as amazing now as they did then.
Oh my goodness me too!!! They are amazing and brings back so much beautiful memories of the eighties and I am still a fan I reminisce every morning before going to work!. WOW!❤
Me too
È una di quelle poche canzoni che suona bene con qualsiasi arrangiamento. New gold dream il migliore album
Egal ob live , studio oder auch acoustic...immer wieder ein Genuss...i love this...
What an amazing version!

Still Got it - loved seeing them Live in the 80’s - real Class 🏴🙌😁👍👏
The guitar work of Charlie Burchill in this song is beautiful!
Simple Minds, simply the BEST. Siete Grandiiii......🌹
Omg, what a great intro whith cherisse at the drums...love this version...love simple minds forever...
I love and have always loved this song. I cannot count the amount of times I've listened to this song while driving my car.
I was about to write the same thing.
Great escapist driving music
Sono cresciuto, ho vissuto e vivo con la vostra musica...
love this song, love the particular sound of the guitar and... the girl on the drum :-) Best song ever!!!
The girl on the drum is Miss Cherisse Osei! Saw them last fall and they were incredible!!!
Sometimes when i witness something profound i nearly fall off my chair.
Charlie Burchill is deep. Superb
I am a top fan of Minds since 1984, this song has always been my favorite, going to the acoustic concert in June in Dublin, can't wait plus hopefully that gorgeous Drummer will be there
Fantastic band. Very nice version. Good guitarist and nice drums. Thanks a lot
Haha Im a little over 3 years late but better late than never, fantastic version, absolutely loved the original and this was in its own right brilliant, .......................but what about that drummer.................... wow absolutely first class, looked like she was having a ball.
A very underrated band
100%
More genuine than U2
I've never knowingly underrated them....
Od zawsze mój ukochany i przeze mnie od zawsze doceniany. Jim Kerr najlepszy wokal forever❤
Not by me. I still get chills…
I'm in the city of light as I try to watch this and staring at the eifel tower- I can only thank you tubers for posting the magnificent performances and arrangements of yesteryear.
Simple mind,simplemente lo mejor de la década de los 80s
I could hear this in an endless loop 🎉😊
That girl on drums was taking care of buisness whilst in the reliable hands of Charlie and Jim Kerr love them always xxxx

Insuperables pedazo de banda británica toda una leyenda de los años 80 con melodías que ya an pasado ala historia grandes grandes 🇪🇦
Trying to pass this passion to my son very hard challenge but I'm confident...
If he has ears then you'll succeed.

Graham Drinkell that’s because Jim is Scottish mate and we honestly don’t care about anyone’s colour. But if anyone treats us badly? 😑 she’s an ace drummer eh
Colour is nothing black artists have made the band from a follower a lover of this amazing band 4o years best band ever
Robin Mel cherrissh Sarah ❤️
Yes he had Mel gaynor as drummer for a while, nothing to do with colour, its the talent and ability.
Amazing version.
This band have found so many fascinating ways for saying 'OK I the Noo' which in English means 'Now then'.
Beautiful Celtic vibe.
I was there in 81,82,83 84. ..frikkin unbelievable days
Brilliant version of this absolute classic. Not many people make electronic dance music in this way with traditional instruments. The only other band i can think of that's successfully done it is Onuka from Ukraine.
Spettacolo!! Ci vediamo a Roma ad Aprile!!!!!

An amazing evening for Simple Minds fans.
Thank you from France.
