SIMPLE MINDS - Alive & Kicking LIVE Ahoy 1985

Simple Minds - Alive & Kicking from the album Once Upon A Time

[@Terk131]

Raw talent, no backing tracks, no auto tune and no computers, just a band, instruments and sound engineer. Boy do I miss the days of great live music.

[@tinasuarez117]

The voice of an Angel - Robin Clark ❤

[@geraldthesaint5457]

Robin at her peak moment. Alive and kicking and Once upon a time album would never be the same without her vocals. They have been smart and generous on her spotlight. Simply ESQUISITE!!! THIS IS REAL MUSIC! I'll love then forever for this. Simple Minds rocks!!!

[@merrickmalouf]

Robin Clark's voice is unreal!! what a great voice!! OMG!!

[@francoamerican111]

This is one hell of a performance by a great group. The young lady Robin has some vocals she can be proud of. This is an excellent example of a great Rock& Roll song.

[@mantra3000]

I LOVE when a band treats her backing singer like the star of the show. In spite of everything that I could read about him (it's not often said that he's a nice approachable character) the way Jim the frontman leaves Robin her space in the spotlight is incredibly generous and cool.

[@3point14rat]

I love all the positive comments. You almost never see that on KZbin. This is a moment in time that I'm glad I get to experience, even if only through a computer monitor. To be there in person would have been soooooo awesome.

[@marrzzman]

I was there with 3 of my mates, who i am still friends with still to this day...

[@Ian-pe1nl]

Every one of them nailed it that night, fucking brilliant!!

[@Blabage]

I bought the double LP of this in 1986, this was, and still is one of the best albums ever. Wished he would have used Robyn Clark more in the later years.

[@harvey6262]

I was there, seen the minds in 4 countries and this concert evokes wonderful memories.......................Robin Clark was fantastic

[@andreaswalter7690]

+harvey6262 jep still one of the best gigs i ve ever seen!

[@Paulito63VE]

Wonderful performance! Simple Minds and Robin Clark together live ... better than the record! Thanks x the post!

[@juventusventuno9213]

Robin's part brings tears to my eyes every time. love it.

[@Bluenose352]

By far, the best live performance of Alive and Kicking I've ever seen.

[@ianwarner8894]

Robin Clark = Angel sent from heaven.

[@niallodonnell5150]

Proper music and great vocals from Robin Clark

[@AMadScientist]

Watched this with my 5 year old granddaughter. When Robin was singing at the end, she said, "that gives me chills"....I"m like WTF?! Nailed it as a 5 year old.

[@ianwarner8894]

Robin Clark = LEGEND Jim Kerr & Simple Minds = LEGENDS Thanks for the memories guy's and thanks for posting this.. Took me right back..

[@massimilianoizzi9324]

Superb Best live great times high livel

[@fairyworld1000]

Me & my mate had a special dance whenever we heard this song . We were SMOKING

[@mattybt400]

Upload?

[@sonquatsch8585]

yeah my crazy friend just heard all the things by accident on gta and he calmed right down just like a baby. it is a powerful song then this one on tube. took us back

[@77AWAKE77]

Beyond brilliant, no words to describe

[@josephlyons8134]

Live Ahoy was so much crisper and cleaner than City of Light but I never realized it until HD.. I bought city of light in 86 and thought it was the best SM live album. I only watched Live Ahoy on MTV in 85 on a mono 19 inch color tv when MTV aired it. Greatest version of Alive hands down....

[@1968ciaran]

Saw them in Paris I think 85 or 86. Robin Clarke was amazing

[@DLBlckwl]

Saw them live --Curtis Hixon Center, Tampa, early 1986. And this is my favorite song of theirs.

[@brokl26]

Robyn Clark has one of the greatest smile.

[@gregoryshorts1023]

I've been looking for this version for 20 Years!

[@paul15765]

I recorded this off the tube on to a vhs tape, memories.

[@daleparfitt7560]

I had it a slimy Wayne Kinsey stole it inbreed lazy fuck

[@lydiadarling]

2019. Yaasss! Robyn Clarke looking and sounding wonderful. Great tune 💕

[@Kennynwten]

What a fantastic voice this girl has got thanks for uploading!

[@7711nancy]

Robin Clark cannot ever be replaced, I do not care how many voices have been done!

[@jodewa01]

I also saw them in Brussels that same week and I must say that this concert has never been surpassed. The current concerts are barely a shadow of these performances.

[@valwilliams5322]

Simply on the best rock bands!

[@melfan1968]

Thanks for the post ... GREAT BAD! Takes me back to the 80's. Got to love Robin Clark's voice amazing! gives me goose bumps !

[@julianbuss8200]

I love this Song!!!Just Great

[@Kelly-just-kelly]

[@Ian-pe1nl]

Best live band in the world in the 80s

[@markusevers9191]

not only in the 80s !!!

[@mdc2077]

Magical. I love and miss you Katie Carr. My love is still alive and kicking.

[@wilhelmderishi4974]

[@daleparfitt7560]

Stunning band a robin say no more

[@ALPQZM654]

simpleminds at their peak,

[@jlk1775]

I know, she's a friend of mine on myspace as well. Totally cool and classy, we talked about what the atmosphere was like in the studio when they were recording this song. I told her it must have been ethereal when her stanza came into being, I still get goosebumps some twenty plus years later! Simple minds is just not Simple minds without Robin Clark!!!!

[@francescourciuoli9949]

WOW 80'S

[@massimilianoizzi9324]

Great times

[@3point14rat]

Wow! This concert is probably the highlight of the lives of all the people there. Robin is more than a backup singer on this song. Jim might be the front man for SM, but in this song she takes them to a whole new level. She rocks. From 6:07 to the end, you're listening to a voice without peer.

[@jasonrepkodotcom]

Damn. Good. Stuff.

[@fabioaquilino3795]

Nice song!

[@redrocks1983]

[@darrenpark11]

Live In The City was recorded in Paris except for the version of Someone Somewhere in Summertime which was cut in from a gig in Australia. This show doesnt feature despite being awesome

[@BakaMaru2]

Jim is dressed like a medieval prince!

[@Fabinho30121986]

grande senhora a cantar grande robin clarke

[@larrybndc]

HA HA HA! Made it! Today I'm fifty-three years old and I am pouring a libation on the floor in memory of some guys who ain't here. We ran hard and fast for a few years in the 70s and some swore we wouldn't make it to fifty. We even took bets! Well I'm still here and would say "Pay up, mahf**kas" except they're dead! Woo Hoo!

[@AMadScientist]

Always wondered who was doing those background vocals!

[@DefendersOfWomen]

The unborn are alive and kicking

[@heleonardorodrigues1645]

SHOW SIMPLE MINDS.

[@markiworthington6658]

What a bummer that Jim Kerr's ego became so big and got in the way because it just became such a turnoff. He would have been nothing without the incredible sounds and music that the other musicians put together. Charlie Burthill, what a legend in music writing and guitar playing and I do not know how he stuck with Kerr because none of the other musicians ever did !!

[@skyscraper7474]

this is not the album version ( if you mean LIVE IN THE CITY OF LIGHT) !!

[@dicker040]

Robin Clark gives a fantastic performance

[@CraftySouthpaw]

[@chetblack8315]

doing his best Bono impression.

[@eesarahim932]

Robin Clarke is still beautiful today, not Nina Simone beautiful, but who is.??

[@tronmartin1]

+Eesa Rahim Yes she is and her voice really stole the show. They were lucky to have her.

[@3point14rat]

I live for 4:25. It's the best part of the best song I've ever heard.
