Brilliant.

[@icanseethestagefromhere]

I thought so too 👍

[@Bigsbeee]

Derek your still fkin brill mate - So miss you and Mick with his analog synth's.. they breath fire unlike here.

[@icanseethestagefromhere]

I thought he was very good 👍

What a great video!!! 😎 Sorry for the occasional photo bomb, when I was in the pit with my camera. What bit of kit did you record this on? It's great quality ❤

[@icanseethestagefromhere]

I use an iPhone 12 Pro, it’s videoed in 4K

[@ashleycorr]

@@icanseethestagefromhere brilliant!!! It's very steady footage too. Was it handheld or did you have it clamped to the barrier ha?

[@icanseethestagefromhere]

I’ve actually just realised, it wasn’t my iphone, I used a DJi pocket 2 4K video camera for that, a very compact camera with a built in gimbal.

@@icanseethestagefromhere yeah I know the one you mean. They're great little toys! 😎

[@spurv]

But ... what's the point? Why doesn't he just re-join Simple Minds? I like how "Derek Forbes & The Dark" is similar to "Peter Hook & The Light".

[@Bigsbeee]

It's never as easy as that - have you ever been in a band ! It was AMAZING era with Mick & Derek.

He originally got sacked then he returned for one album and tour and the old problems came back. It's Jim's way or the highway and now the minds are just a tribute act.​@@spurv
