SIMPLE MINDS - Alive & Kicking Mandela 70th Wembley 1988

Simple Minds - East At Easter/Alive & Kicking Mandela 70th Birthday Concert June 1988

[@stevedymock248]

Great to see and hear John Giblin - RIP 😢

[@pcpiero2]

great bassist

[@curious5254]

I agree when camera is on him 3:57 this is one of my favourite part of the video. Great player with amazing music feeling.

[@davidhaines5202]

This band is definitely a 1980s treasure

[@jonmortimer5831]

RIP the fantastic John Giblin, bass player extraordinaire.

[@user-jd7qy9vc6c]

I was there , simple minds were great and the main man gave a speech. 30 years later I read that Nelson Mandela said that he went to a concert at wembley stadium but had no real memories of the day. One of the great days of my life and my hero had no memories ? He still remains , along with Martin Luther and Mahatma Ghandi the greatest people of my generation. we are still hoping for the day that the colour of your skin or your sexuality or your religion does not define you or seperate you from mainstream society

[@morgemou]

Love this band! One of the 1980’s best.

[@carlseager5785]

They are just the best band ever just so humble and there music is so unique . There’s just nobody that can match them.

[@amilcarvalenca3381]

I really enjoy the set but u2 was also a great band.

[@jreidtastic]

Right there! Absolutely!

[@paulmartin6344]

Went to this concert on my own at 18 years old my freinds dropped out but there was no way I was missing it loved simple minds then and still do good memories

[@matthewfranklin9796]

Paul Martin bless 🙏

[@stephenbrown4211]

I went on my own as well. Just split with my girlfriend at the time. Like you, there was no way I was going to miss it.

If you never attended a Simple Minds concert; or a U2 concert, or saw a live performance by David Bowie in the late 80's, you truly missed out.

[@stuartwray6175]

Bowie impacted my life in a big way, but I thought and still think Glass Spider was just dreadful. The tour footage makes me cringe.

[@reversalstudio]

there is something beyond simple music with bands like simple minds u2 and bands like the mighty midnight oil!!dont know how to say..solemn?formal you know something is going on its important its historic!!i just love the power of it all!!

[@TheBoydy3]

fuckin love simple minds grew up with them, up there with floyd and u2

[@xTheFly]

Loved this concert. I remember watching it live on tv, in between bands the crowd would sing "How long?"(U2's song 40) and U2 wasn't even there.

[@karenmcdermid9654]

Brilliant band loved from the start good Scottish group ❤

If u2 had been there on this day,,not even they could match simple minds on this performance,,this is equivalant to pole position,,fastest lap and race win,,perfect👌👌👌🍀🍀🍀🎸🎸🎸🏎🏎🏎🏎

[@RB-sh5qh]

What an odd comment. It's not a competition, is it? "What if [enter a band name] had performed here?" What if the sun would have moved around the earth?

[@calmster]

Not sure why people always have to mention U2 when it comes to Simple Minds, it's possible to just enjoy both bands, it's quite easy actually.

I love this version of alive and kicking. I never understand why they don't play the bass drum like it is hear at the beginning nowadays. it really lifts the tune. Great day.

[@billbobagginsbonham9239]

I'd say its ALIVE AND KICKING.........and I always play this song in my Porsche and I think I am the one that has put 4,000 hits on it on youtube. What a great band and a part of my childhood. The first band I ever played drums in played this song and we always got people happy and they loved it. The 80's was an amazing time and some great music, and god rest his soul but the drummer was also the Power Station drummer and a great drummer. Thanks for posting and I have tickets to the Orlando Florida Show.........can't wait.

[@stevenarmstrong8056]

What date is that

[@Mike_Bacon_O.B.E.]

Mel Gaynor never played with The power Station and is still very much “Alive and Kicking”. Think your confusing him with Tony Thompson.

Odd time ... The beginning of the end for SM.. no Forbes, no MickMcNeil, and they're just about to royally bury their reputation with the horrifically pompous Street Fighting Years - they'd never regain ground.

[@Phil-df6ru]

Mick mcneil is on stage He left after the street fighting years tour

[@Ilovepotatos413]

I agree, although Mick MacNeil is playing here and was part of Street Fighting Years. It has some good tunes on it, but I haven’t listened to it for years. I was 15 in 1988, had only been into Simple Minds for 2 years or there about, and this was the first time I saw them live, albeit on the TV. I also recorded it on vhs, and this song was warped to shit on the tape because it was played so much. Still sounds amazing to these ears.
