[@LeviTate2000]

those synths, that bass, that voice, japan

[@HectorLopez-ct3kq]

And the guitar is cool too !

[@khyberkarn]

So lovely to see David so animated and bopping around really charismatic and the song sounded so fresh. Thanks for uploading - happy happy!

[@cooljapanguys]

Thank you to upload this rare clip. Trust David Sylvian was in good mood as can see him smiled a lot and dancing.

[@jimmorris848]

[@minoriganu8702]

Mick Karn…My Hero. I miss him.

[@DELINANOS]

Thanks for your comments. As it's a french video (system secam) it was not simple to upload. I ll put more videos in the future as I am not living in Paris for the moment,. Be patient. Sophie

Like watching a work of art come to life … god these guys were good: thankfully some of the magic got captured on video, however imperfectly …

[@colinveacock5408]

The best live band I've ever seen.

[@rolandswiboda3802]

Wonderful,good old days and good old music! Thanks for memory's.. Nice to hear this ..

[@JOHNTAYLORARIA]

This is absolutely beautiful. Thanks so much for uploading this!

[@DELINANOS]

Super ! Moi aussi, j'y étais. Très grand souvenir ! Mon meilleur concert avec Simple Minds à l'époque. J'étais avec des amis juste en face de David Sylvian. Impressionnée également par la prestation de Mick Karn qui hélas nous a quitté. I miss him.

[@pinkfrost89]

This is brilliant. Japan at the height of their powers!

[@jojo-wx4nm]

Never heard this version before, thanks.

[@colinb1747]

This is rare, thx for posting.

[@flamerrs]

凄い⤴⤴

[@rossholloway5565]

Would love the see/hear the whole show - actually live unlike Oil on Canvas - and with the synths and guitars much more up front

[@DELINANOS]

I m glad you like it. I ll try to put one french interview of David Sylvian later on...

[@vlestat73]

he is soooooo gorgeous here

[@mravka9]

Incredible, you're a legend for uploading this.

[@dumdumfriend]

Great! thanks for posting looking forward to you other uploads.

[@Bangheadda]

beautiful!

[@thesandband]

wow this is great! Thanks a lot for this! Hope for much more...

[@Danthehorse]

David's giving it the ol' Bryan Ferry here ;) Great track.

[@Popiastral]

super !! j'y étais ! j'y étais ! it was great ! not on front, on balcony on the left side, up to the stage, in fact ; 30years ago, oups! ça fait très longtemps,, i'm big fan since,

[@FLORENT2222]

Quelle chanse de les avoir vus en live !!! Je donnerais ma chemise pour revenir dans le passé !!

[@tony501]

David seems more animated, perhaps knowing the Hammersmith concert was to be recorded affected his performance? Was this broadcast on tv? Great find!!

[@TheBoycemeister]

would love to see the full show from this. It must exist somewhere? Wonder if YSL was in the audience...

[@TaUncFester]

not one mention of Mick Karn, sad..

[@janknjazovic]

ah..David and Japan :)) ah....:D

[@Sandyhendry]

Who's the guitarist? Really nice.

[@recyclat]

musically untopable / optically a step too far towards decadence ... I begin to understand why Sylvian wanted to change direction and began starting a solo career

[@cleoborges4644]

sexusa ovivo

[@TheDelinanos]

Bon souvenir !
