I learned today you will be guests star of Amadeus at Arena Suzuki 2023 in the magical Arena of Verona!!Is this true news? Wich evening will you be there, so I'll go immediately to get the ticket!!.
I came of age, twenty years old, in 1983. Coming out of the late seventies, I was in love with classic rock - Yes, Pink Floyd, ELP, Rush, Zeppelin, Tull, etc.. I then became friends with a guy who turned me on to New Wave and I was hooked. All the new music of the 80's filled my music library. It was a wonderful time to be part of a genre, that defined a great (awesome) decade.
Charlie Burchill is such a great underrated guitarist! One of my fave guitarist of all time! Simple Minds will always be one of my favorite bands of all time!!!
In a different league. Musically and poetically it's by far their greatest song. The NGD album version is over-produced imo, and live it can be clunky. This is perfection.
Charles Burchill is to Jim Kerr what Keith Richard is to Mick Jagger ,,a genius band guitarist, always dancing in and out with hooks and riffs that create the Simple Minds identity,, fantastic player.
My husband and I have been fans since the beginning of simple minds, I was lucky enough to meet Jim many years ago when he was at his recording studio in Scotland and someone had crashed his car and he needed a car ASAP and that's when I hired him a car for the weekend, he is a gem of a gut soooo down to earth and took time out to speak to me on collecting and returning the car. We can't wait to see him and the band at the Ovo in Glasgow in March.
Simple Minds were not my favourite band in high school, but a few years ago, I rediscovered them, still active, still lively, still innovative, and I've decided that they must be one of the most righteous and transcendent bands of the 80s, so now I follow them with renewed enthusiasm. 🏴
Sehr schöner Song von den genialen Simple Minds und ein wunderschönes Video aus der Kirche dieser Abtei, es herrscht ein wunderbarer Raumklang dort; macht Riesenspaß es anzusehen und vor allem zu hören ... !!! 😮😮😮😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Cherisse's beautiful smiling face shows she's having the time of her life she's an incredible drummer, what a band the minds are ......... truly epic! 🥰
Die Helden meiner Jugend! Ich muss oft daran denken, was Chrissie Hynde über Jim Kerr sagte ..DIe Stimme von Jim Kerr klingt noch immer unglaublich! Glittering Price war ein Meilenstein für mich! I Love SM
fantastic! A timeless classic, that whole album is just an experience that is unique to each person that hears it and they are all taken to a different place. Thank you Simple Minds!
When my brother arrived home with this album in 1982 we stayed listening to it for hours, every time I hear it I remember that moment and of him who is no longer here.
desole paix a son ame et as toi merci vue en 1980 au captaine video paris un des 1 concert de simple mind un des milleurs groupes des annees 80 merci a toi la france vas mal bye
My absolutely favourite Simple Minds song. I used to play this over and over again. Reminds me of so many great times, and hearing this song at night with the volume up, especially on long car journeys was the best feeling ever. I still get the same feeling now! I have seen them many times over the years, from the small venues to the stadium yours. Epic band, never disappointed.❤
Oh my, I was so young back then. And I loved it as much as I do today. It‘s great to see the old guys mix up with young talents. What a remarkable band. ❤❤❤
This band has accompanied me for decades and has never disappointed me. I was able to listen to them and see them live for years...Simple Minds has never disappointed me
Another Charlie performance of his utter masterful dominance of subtle, beautiful rythmns and lead, the sum of which is way more powerful than so many who stand there thrashing out the same old tired chords. Massively underated guitarist.
I remember listening to Live in the City of Light (1987) on my great Aiwa walkman with reverse mode while riding the tram to school in Amsterdam. Great times.
Damn I love this new music... ok... I love the old Simple Minds too... and Charlie's awesome guitar... and I love the new drummer... and Jim... and the fresh etherial keyboard sound... and Ged... and they whole damn Simple Minds thang!
I was in the Royal Air Force up in Lossiemouth in Scotland when I first heard you play The Waterfront on the radio in the early 80’s. Loved you ever since.
@@anthonydevitt3206She has zero finesse compared to Mel. All I see is wasted motion. Mel had awesome technique. People commenting have zero clue on what makes a great drummer
Aqui Leonel, do extremo sul do Brasil, do mar mais ao sul, da costa mais extensa, ouvir essa música é como caminhar nas ondas deste mar.....as vezes furioso e as vezes silencioso....
One of the few bands that can play live and sound as good as though it's recorded
Unfortunately I have to disagree. I absolutely love this album, but I was very disappointed when I saw them live.
@@NOOne-im5vg can't comment really as not seen live maybe vocals not as they used to be when they were younger but still a great band
Best '80 voice today is Mick Hucknall and after Tony Hadley very close
It’s not simple minds anymore is Kerr/Burchill with session musicians Forbes, Gaynor and McNeil haven’t been in the band for years.

This is new wave. This is glory. This is 80's at the top. How I love this masterpiece. Simple Mind is iconic
Absolutely 👍
Yes you nailed it!
new wave / Pop , yes
Right!!!!❤❤❤❤
Charlie Burchill is such a great underrated guitarist! One of my fave guitarist of all time! Simple Minds will always be one of my favorite bands of all time!!!
Yeah. Great atmospheric sound!
Word
He's a legend !
Yeah well said. His sound live is so good!
Agreed. He has some of the most timeless (like in SSIS) melancholic melodies that were ever created.
In my opinion the best song Simple Minds have ever made....
In a different league. Musically and poetically it's by far their greatest song. The NGD album version is over-produced imo, and live it can be clunky. This is perfection.
yes it is !
And they've done some
and "Alive and kicking"
And 81,82,83,84
They sound the same forty years later such a great group love them the best.❤
The album of this song, the name is New gold dream, from 1982, is amazing . 😊
I was in highschool when Gold Dream came out and still have the vinyl version . 💪💙
I still have it on cassette!
Best album ever Made
Have the original vinal, what an album
I was 16 back then , now 40 years ago just incredible this remains a timeless masterpiece
Drummer is killing it ! What a great song, long live Simple Minds !
Spero che tu scherzi 🎉
The years pass by like the wind , but Jim and Charlie still seem timeless like this song. Thank you for your music.
My favorite Simple minds track ever and the drummer is brilliant
I prefer mel than cherisse on drums really!!!
You may have never seen Mel Gaynor on the set even if she's brilliant.
I was playing to simple minds tunes in the eighties and Mel is a great player
Just got herself a British Drum Co kit apparently....
The young lady on the drums is clearly enjoying the jam
The new members have given the band a new lease of life. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
U2 watches this and they get so jealous they wish they had half this Talent
@@Undercoverbrotherfromanother Let's not be silly now. Both are great bands
@@gavincollins9376 Let's Get Serious, U2 has not made any relevant music since 1987. Fact!
totally agree.
Drummer is a show pony nowhere near as good as Mel Gaynor.
My favorite of simple minds👍
I've been listening to them for 35 years and it's always a great emotion!
We steen
We saw them in Amsterdam last april so good
I'm so grateful Jim Kerr's vocals are still great! Thank you so much.
Wow this song. This song was a life preserver to me as a 15 yo in 1983. Literally made me keep going.
I remember tripping to this lol
Agree.....i was 16 yo in the 1983👍
Was 15 too
Man, drummer Cherisse’s smile and enthusiasm just make this song soar.
Timeless greatness !!
The 80’s nostalgia is strong with this song.
If someone said to me ‘why do you love simple minds so much?’, I’d just show them this, brilliant 👏🏻👏🏻
Don't forget Book of Brilliant things too
Indeed
Meravigliosa
The sound of me feeling young again . Thank you Simple Minds.
In 1983 this was huge.
I was there with you
magic.....
Charles Burchill is to Jim Kerr what Keith Richard is to Mick Jagger ,,a genius band guitarist, always dancing in and out with hooks and riffs that create the Simple Minds identity,, fantastic player.
What little Steve is to Bruce Springsteen
Pedazo guitarrista...en el top teen de todos los tiempos
He has always been so underrated.
00:35 Song !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Masterpiece !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
Cette chanson est tout simplement magique ! 🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝❤️🔊❤🔊❤🔊🔊❤️💯❤️
Cracking version with the most enthusiastic drummer ever....well done
Un peu trop enthousiaste, même...
Georgous looking girl but very average drummer.
No, technically mel gaynor was a far superior drummer. Simple as
Simple minds for ever! 40 years later... goosebumps
I get goose bumps every time I listen to Simple Minds, reminds me of my late little brother Charlie ❤
Have been following all my life now 63yrs old, the music never changes, love it!!, and the drummer was like she was born to do this,
The whole of "New Gold Dream" album is a gem... Masterly produced. Superb compositions.
The most beautiful album of all time, innoubliable, sacred and religious
Brilliant after 40 years. Outstanding and the drummer is mesmerizing.
Der Drummer ist absolute Klasse 🥰

I agree in some ways, but Depeche Mode is...

WOW!...WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO BE CREATIVE...MASSIVE TINGLESS...BLISS EXPLOSION! 💖💖💖
Beautiful building in Paisley a few feet from the band are the graves of Scottish kings n queens , they must be rocking under their stone slabs.
The drummer is brilliant. Love her.
fantastic! A timeless classic, that whole album is just an experience that is unique to each person that hears it and they are all taken to a different place. Thank you Simple Minds!

This drummer could light up the cathedral on her own with her smile and performance.
Absolute Master Peace.
Charlie is so gifted and innovative love his interactive creativeness❤
I still got chills hearing this brilliant song after all these years! Such a beautiful masterpiece!
The drummer, she’s knock out. Plays fantastically with the looks to match, BRAVO 👏 Still love Jim.
Followed these guys all my life getting back to their best
The drummer is having best time!
Genial. Schlagzeugerrin... Der hammer.
Maybe the most underrated band of all time? Absolutely brilliant. Saw them 11 years ago and was blown away.
Brilliant band
God I love this band! Their sound hasn’t changed a bit!! They still sound amazing!👌😎👉♥️🙏👍
This band has accompanied me for decades and has never disappointed me. I was able to listen to them and see them live for years...Simple Minds has never disappointed me
At last, after 40+ years they have a drummer who can actually keep time when playing live! 🥳🍾
My favorite song, as a 1964 boy, this hypnotized me in 82 and to this day. Thank you Simple Minds.
Brings back great memories of times when fantastic music was played. Simple minds is such a treat for the ears and the drummer is just top notch.
That was kick ass! Glad to have them back, and I can add to my collection! I'm almost 60 and they have been one of my favorites from the beginning!
É a melhor banda do rock pop ! So do Brasil e do os parabéns a Escória por ter uma banda de alto nível! Valeu Simple Minds!!!!!
Para mim é a musica mais linda da banda ...
Como não amar a baterista ❤❤❤.
Great band still love them to this day great tune 🎉
41 years later...I'm still excited to see & hear SM!
Such a great band performance, stunning place, beautiful smiling awesome riddim drummer lady, thank you for the joy!!!!
This is one of the songs, wish i can turn back to the first listening....so amazing.
Simple Minds is such a good band, no matter the decade they deliver brilliant performances.
Another Charlie performance of his utter masterful dominance of subtle, beautiful rythmns and lead, the sum of which is way more powerful than so many who stand there thrashing out the same old tired chords. Massively underated guitarist.
Simple Minds never gets old!
Beautiful! ⭐️
Legendary in 2024⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I remember listening to Live in the City of Light (1987) on my great Aiwa walkman with reverse mode while riding the tram to school in Amsterdam. Great times.
I just can’t express how much I love this Band and this song. Forever Simple Minds. One badass drummer ❤
The drummer makes this even more special! 💪💯🥁
Jim's voice is incredible .. I've been a fan since the 80s and he always sounds so amazing ❤
Me too, I think his voice has got even better with age.
They totally nailed this!
This band is absolutely amazing! The music and sound is always bang on! And the younger members sound like they have been with the band forever!!
Still got it. Dublin 1986 had natures special effects, but the voice still the purpose. Thank you Jim and all.
Stunning place/sound/performance.
This brings back such wonderful memories Jim/Charlie.....thankyou ✌️🇬🇧
What a fantastic drummer
She is great , but sadly mixed out to a sertain extend.
She plays wayyyyyy more than we hear. 😔
Damn I love this new music... ok... I love the old Simple Minds too... and Charlie's awesome guitar... and I love the new drummer... and Jim... and the fresh etherial keyboard sound... and Ged... and they whole damn Simple Minds thang!
I was in the Royal Air Force up in Lossiemouth in Scotland when I first heard you play The Waterfront on the radio in the early 80’s. Loved you ever since.
Beautiful, as it's been through all these years. ❤
(Can I just say, your drummer is amazing. Excellent choice!)
Indeed... she rocks.... the drums are so important to the faithful tempo of this great track
Love the drummer's enthusiasm.
Brilliant 🥁
Loved Mel better though as a 🥁 er
@@anthonydevitt3206She has zero finesse compared to Mel. All I see is wasted motion. Mel had awesome technique. People commenting have zero clue on what makes a great drummer
Many, many years ago was lucky enough to hear and see Simple Minds in Toronto's Masonic temple before they became a huge thing, so talented.
Loved this song way back then, love it now. Thank you Lads and lasses for the memories and the better times.
Just cant get tired listening this amazing song
Around for decades and never ever disappoint. They are sublime. Fantastic guys and gals.
It is great hearing Jim's Gaelic accent!
Class just class 👏
Cherisse Osei …. What a power house !!! Great drummer for a great band. Simple Minds are back baby 😁
Still brings out deep emotion within me all these years later... Always raising the bar.... simple❤
Aqui Leonel, do extremo sul do Brasil, do mar mais ao sul, da costa mais extensa, ouvir essa música é como caminhar nas ondas deste mar.....as vezes furioso e as vezes silencioso....
