Simple Minds - "Mandela Day" live 1990

[@katieblackmore2004]

Charlie is one of the most underrated guitarists much like Steve Rothery. Neither one of the show boats, shreds or have ridiculously fast fingers..... They weren't making noise for the sake of making noise.... They just made the Guitar sound incredible. In this, his Guitar sounds like it is sad, weeping......... emotional. Incredible.

[@janmessemaker2100]

Your absolute right

[@martinmartin5270]

absolutely true...they both just have the feeling

[@kimdawcatgirl]

I couldn't agree more. My top two favorite guitarists! Both evoke such deep, passionate emotion without being showy or overbearing!

[@ml3960]

immense merci au groupe Simple Minds d'avoir chanté cette chanson qui avec le temps est devenu comme Mr Nelson Mandela : une légende 🙏

[@michelpouget7995]

un homme d une valeur du 20siecle qui de la prison est devenu monsieur nelson MANDELA une statut pour les droits de l hommes devrait etre erige dans tous les pays de droit commun monsieur MANDELA redte un grand HOMME du 20siecle ont devrais demander une statut partout dans le monde de ce monsieur mais c est peine perdu

[@stephanedajtlich]

Mandela OK,mais l'ANC est entrain de tuer l'Afsud. et ne pas oublier Frederick de Klerk dans la fin de l'apartheid

[@mohomoho1]

Saw them live NYC Beacon theater early 80's and to this day I have yet to see another band that can move a crowd the way Jim and Band can!!!! The curtains opened and the energy that came from them was simply overwelming. I still think about it often.

They never got the recognition they deserve for this song. They wrote just for the Mandela concert. What other band does that.

[@chrisweston4140]

I couldn't agree more. Just a brilliant band and they just keep going and let's hope they do for much longer. ❤

[@saledelmondo]

"L'educazione è il grande motore dello sviluppo personale. È grazie all'educazione che la figlia di un contadino può diventare medico, il figlio di un minatore il capo miniera o un bambino nato in una famiglia povera il presidente di una grande nazione. Non ciò che ci viene dato, ma la capacità di valorizzare al meglio ciò che abbiamo è ciò che distingue una persona dall'altra". "Una persona che viaggia attraverso il nostro paese si ferma in un villaggio, e qui non ha bisogno di chiedere cibo o acqua. Appena arrivata la gente le offre il cibo, la intrattiene. Questo è solo un lato di Ubuntu ma Ubuntu ha anche altri aspetti. Ubuntu non significa che le persone non debbano dedicarsi a sé stesse. La questione piuttosto è: vuoi farlo per aiutare la comunità che ti circonda a migliorare?" "L'educazione è l'arma più potente che può cambiare il mondo". "Nessuno conosce veramente una nazione fino a che non è stato nelle sue prigioni. Una Nazione non dovrebbe essere giudicata da come tratta i suoi cittadini migliori, ma da come tratta i suoi cittadini di più basso rango". MANDIBA

[@dreamer13266]

I think they did have LOTS of "attention", in fact they were HUGE worldwide!

@dbadz Thaks, for someone actually telling us when this was performed!. I have the 1988 one on C90 tape when it was simultaneously broadcast on TV and Radio 2 VHF, I was experimenting with a new stereo decoder that very day. Also Tracy Chapman and others, Dire Straits?. Wonder how much my quality tape has faded... I remember that day and the whole concert so well.

[@TheLolo06670]

for the memory... peace and love for all the people, all around the world

[@chlimokboris1871]

Quand je pense que j'ai fait découvrir ça à mon cousin et quand il m'a proposé d'aller au concert j'ai pas voulu y aller j'avais autre chose à faire 😞😞😞 Je regrette amèrement, mais c'est la vie je reste stoïque 😉
