[@MsTruthseeker999]

Love Simple Minds, such a unique and crisp sound! They have so many great songs, love your reaction!

[@marksudlow5083]

This video shows how brilliant simple minds were... saw them twice in concert, and they were awesome!!

[@GooseMcSwan]

Im from Glasgow 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and I'm so fuckin' proud of them!!

[@tomvandeguchte911]

you should be

[@jocklewes4466]

You can be !

[@frankryan3294]

I'm from Dublin, and I'm so proud of them!! Have loved then since Sons & Facination/Sister Feelings Call 💙

[@smackeye]

Fab reaction you guys. Subbed. Nice that you picked something a little off the beaten track. Classic SM from the long hot summer of 89, music and memories etched on my mind forevermore.

[@leebedy71]

Drummer is best drummer in the world 'Mel Gaynor"

[@davemcdave2169]

The very best of my fellow Glaswegians. I'm a drummer and always admired and immitated Gaynor. But, McNeil and Burchill were just sublime together. The chemistry of the whole band at this point was electric.

[@andreasstraub2892]

This concert in Verona is a musical masterpiece! WOW! A wonderful reaction from you! class

[@scifimonkey3]

45years and counting and 20 studio albums this band has been consistently delivering great music….. Superstars

[@frankschlanker]

You missed a small piece of music that was the intro to the thunder and lightning.This album they went back to basics with traditional music, fiddles and accordions etc.

[@MrHolmgren194]

Thanks for giving Simple Minds a checkout, this DVD is amazing and the drummer is Mel Gaynor :)

[@ericf19]

Big Shout out to Travis and Suzi!! Street Fighting Years was a great album from one of Scotland's finest live bands. Glittering Prize is my favourite of theirs and of course the one which made them superstars in the UK- Mandela day in the 1980s.

[@benjamincharrier3527]

this song is a tribute to victor jara, a chilian singer killed by the pinochet dictatorship in 1973. simple minds has more than 40 years of career and many beautiful songs : let there be love see the lights banging on the door dolphins shadows and light mandela day sense of discovery this time seeing out the angel come a long way

[@fabiovenegas9331]

Oh boy, Come a Long Way has vibes so mysterious and ethereal, great closer song.

[@leebedy71]

Unfortunately Street Fighting Years wasn't released in the US. Don't know why? Apparently it wasn't commercial enough? Great reactions to these tracks. Great album full of anthems

[@glenndouglas8822]

Hiya Lee, it was released in the u.s under A&M but didn't sell at all. The American press hated it calling it over political and musically bloated( that was the nice reviews) which I'm inclined to think myself. I didn't like the album but loved their political stand so supported the release. A bad album at the wrong time, the world of music in Europe had changed mostly because of pure uncut E's flooding the UK and Europe. The Stone Roses etc with the emerging baggy/rave scene unfortunately made this album stale for a lot of young fans( I was 17 at time of release) as the press were saying the minds were going back to their dance type roots of I travel because of producer. Also another moan, they should never have put Mandela Day and biko on album, piss poor excuse for not having enough songs. Still got such a soft spot for them though but I honestly think they shouldn't have let Mick leave, he was the groove of the band. Respect 🙌✌️

[@xlerb_again_to_music7908]

Can't go wrong with Simple Minds. Great long-distance driving music, too :)

[@AndyhinYork]

A unique and amazing band. 52 gigs later of seeing them live, they are still full of energy.

[@brenhutchinson5017]

Mel Gaynor on drums one of the greatest drummers in world ..worked on albums with Tina Turner Elton John when not gigging with SM

[@michaeldoherty4221]

I was 18 on 16th Sept 89 and watched this concert in Birmingham UK. He blew my mind.. For me the best band ever. This was them at their brilliant best. The power as a live band were just so unique . Mid to late 80s they ruled the bloody World. 35 years on they are still touring in 2024. Get to a gig like I have this year. I can how both of you are wow by Simple Minds. Great to see. ✌️🎶♥️

[@barrypetcher8542]

This song is about a Guitarist in South America forced to play with broken fingers because of his political believes, He was later found dead in the street.

[@melissaheneghan5939]

FYI the drummer is the legend Mel Gaynor he’s incredible but sadly after many years he left the band to pursue other interests and they now have another amazing drummer called Cherisse Osei , she is equally incredible considering the boots she had to fill. You should check her out!

[@Carl-i6f]

Street fighting years is probably one of the most spellbinding bits of rock music ever, but sadly never gets any recognition. Simple minds are one of best band ever but you never hear much about them. They always let there music do the talking. As bruce says in the verona DVD they dont take the pompus side of fame to seriously but take there music deadly seriously.

[@thea-sofiet724]

Goosebumps! Simple minds is one of the best love for your ear group ever. The music is fantastic. Thanks for you reaction. Love from Sweden. ❤

[@melissaheneghan5939]

I can’t tell you having been a fan for many years this tour in 1989 was the first time I saw them live at Wembley stadium, when that curtain came crashing down it was complete elation . The album Street fighting years is magic, everything you are saying is in that album. They are still rocking out saw them this year & they have a new album 😉

[@grizzadams2110]

Apparently.... the song was very difficult tp play live

[@bernaemckissack6298]

Should check out Glasgows musicians Gerry Rafferty paolo nutini fratellis Travis Amy macdonald definitely worth it Muckeroos

[@kraig73]

I'm not from Glasgow, I'm from the Midwest USA, St. Louis Missouri, Simple Minds is best ever, reminds me of riding on my motorcycle, this album..Street Fighting Years

[@djderek1971]

Simple Minds. My countrymen and the soundtrack to my life. Just genius since 1977

[@richardgoddard37]

They've just released a new song, and they've got an excellent lady drummer now.

[@SuHo-bp1iy]

That excellent lady drummer is Cherisse Osei. I just saw them last night in Sydney and she is amazing.

[@richryan70]

Wow. Just wow!!!!! Great to relive this song and your enthusiasm is infectious.

[@pauloaraujo3824]

Simple ministro uma das melhores bandas

[@MarcusWainwright]

Love simple minds this track is brilliant guys

[@nickpearce9441]

I have been watching this amazing clip live for 30 years. I loved your guys reaction to a masterpiece. When I die I'm going out of the service to this song. It's in my will.

[@ronniewilson6597]

We where in the front row and the left hand side. 👍🏻😀

[@goalkeeper484]

One of the best live bands ever. Still grooving, way better than U2. Mel Gaynor best drummer, Charlie Burchill, best gutarist, Jim Kerr best frontman.

[@pasza927]

So true 👍

[@matteocarta3853]

you forget Mick MacNeil

[@goalkeeper484]

@@matteocarta3853 right. Sorry

[@andrewjones6400]

Check out ghost dancing from this gig..ohh the percussion x

[@brenhutchinson5017]

You have to watch waterfront or ghostdancing from this concert to watch the rock the venue

[@welshlad6427]

Great tune by a great band

[@emeraldscorpio]

Charlie on guitar my old neibour. Weymss bay possee

[@barrypetcher8542]

You need to see the whole video, it's over 2hrs long.

[@oshima6451]

Wauw, what a crap two presenters

[@emcash7042]

Simple Minds are so good live 👑♥️✨

[@grahamjackson3388]

After Don’t You, SM knew that stadiums beckoned. And with the album Street Fighting Years, the songs had to fill a stadium. They didn’t fail. Mind you their older material would’ve worked just as well. Ie. Waterfront, The American, Theme For Great Cities and of course the reimagining of Book Of Brilliant Things.

[@James-hd6ez]

This song is a tribute to singer/ poet Victor Jara who in the early 1970s was arrested after playing a protest concert in Chile after Allende was overthrown in another US Coup when they put the murderous general Pinochet in charge, they broke Victor's hands put a guitar in his hands and told him to play a song...when he couldn't they shot him dead. Once again America is doing the same kind of thing but in other countries around the world.

[@seanyboyoc]

amazing Verona and how i wish I could have been there. This shows the brilliance of SM, the instrumentation, big stadium sound. I saw them at Wembley on this tour and been a fan ever since.

[@PAUL1YATES]

As a massive Simple Minds , this track is up there as complete and perfect live song, You mention the drummer Mr Mel Gaynor what a legend and also drummed with Saxon, Elton John, Tina Turners and drummed on Simply the best, Peter Gabriel, Meat Loaf and many others to mention, Try listening to Waterfront which a song Mel Gaynor made his own

[@-pulze_x_fyahz-3443]

Simple Minds A music phenomenon. Check out Live in Dortmund 1984

[@johnbernhardtsen3008]

I remember an Ibanez guitar ad for Charlie Burchill/the guitarist.... "A Man of thousand Echoes!"

[@James-hd6ez]

I remember hearing big mel was a heavy metal session drummer, not sure if that's true he joined Simple Minds in 1982

[@isylium1110]

let's go 05:20 :) my favorite music band and favorite music!!!!!!

[@beds139]

And 30+ years later Jim and Charlie are still writing and performing brilliant music.

[@RisingTidesAC]

The first time I am the first commenter here. I'm glad it was to a Travis and Suzi video!

[@kikecarlesroyo1074]

Hello I always watch your reaction videos, I would love it if you made a reaction video of the band The Cure - A forest live Show. Thank you

[@brenhutchinson5017]

You have to review Simple Minds Waterfront live Verona

[@darrenhill8503]

The Summers name is Mel Gaynor

[@TIM26324k]

My favourite album of all time

[@TheSimplyminds]

Amazing track thanks

[@gavinpaice8008]

Try some what we call in England the madhester scene/Manchester. Oasis stone roses but my favourite was the charlatans one to the other. Many over great bands in that genre.

[@MrChippiechappie]

Sorry just not simple minds with without MacNeil. Forbes and Gaynor.

[@garyandrewimrie687]

i think you will find mick and mel are in this
