What a powerful performance of one of the greatest songs of the 80's. I always like the energy of this song.

[@littlemisskimmycat78]

I’m positive the backup singer is the same lady who appeared in the music video in 1985.

[@FVieira403]

@@littlemisskimmycat78 No, that singer is Sara Brown who worked on the background vocals for Simply Red.

[@adrianfundescu5407]

Actuallyy yyyy drumming was really shit but I can agree that the piano had great legs ( by default 0 as if youspeak about tjhe useless figure ( long lega also included 0 ...actuallllly that was not the piano

[@raymondgolez4114]

totally agree with you! killer legs!

[@antestiusleontius3774]

Being surrounded by the sound of an orchestra is like when your mum comes and wraps you in a warm embrace. You feel safe even if you make a mistake.

[@RosePetal17]

I love when artists re-imagine/re-arrange hit songs! You can really hear the great melody and lyrics

[@davidash3393]

They did some brilliant 👏 songs. This is the best, in my view. Still gives me goosebumps to this day & every day.

[@milopepehairdesign8004]

C'è un tempo nella gioventù dove predominano l'esuberanza e la forza. Poi nella maturità vengono sostituite dall'armonia e la dolcezza. Una splendida versione di alive and kicking dei simple minds, accompagnati dall'Orchestra. Meravigliosi.

[@christophedemaria9365]

My favorite song ! Thank you ! Christophe from Paris France.

Esse som é top. Conheci o Simple Minds, em 1986, aos 20 anos. Uma das minhas bandas preferidas, junto com U2, Tears for Fears, The Smiths, The Cure, The Cult, The Mission, Siouxie and the Banches, Echo and the Bunnyman. Década de 80, época de ouro, da música, sem falar do rock brasileiro. Quem viveu, curtiu, sabe do que estou falando. Fui um privilegiado. Ainda hoje, aos 55 anos, curto essas bandas. Bons tempos, muitas saudades, boas lembranças. Saudosismo puro.

[@carlseager5785]

There’s just no other band like them. The music is so unique well done guys.
