Jlasse

[@pietjanssens8901]

performance... and the extended use of the FLUTE in the music makes it real "Belfast feeling"

[@thomasedmundrichards]

Incredible live version. They're a class act live

[@muckydirt74]

👍

[@leofroop]

The best SM song for me, Jim's vocals are so on point and props to Charlie for making that Les Paul sound amazing 👍

[@sagotk]

it's the band. just shows how good an orchestra can sound with a fantastic band

[@pompeyo7]

Growing up with this music is unexplainable, you had to be there

[@jeanpaulmevel4727]

des frissons,j'écoute ce groupe depuis des années,mais ce jour là,ils ont été tout simplement sublimes,et les musiciens au top,que du bonheur

[@virgifenderstrat79]

awesome prayer.. the voice of Kerr has an hypnotic extraordinary power.. wonderful band

[@jamesluby6705]

It's taken me 40 years years to appreciate the worth of many of the groups I grew up with, I think I was truly spoiled for choice...

[@terrywardley1890]

Epic performance!

[@Jon-wf1sn]

What a beautiful performance of an amazing song.

[@paulrichards4049]

goosebump time from 2.58... what a brilliant song and performance...

[@irrak2007]

it is a work of art!!!

[@MatteoPrezioso]

I've always preferred Simple Minds to U2, and this pretty much proves it.

[@Rafuchini]

Yo tambien los prefiero ..

[@GeorgeMcCauley]

Matteo Prezioso U2 are in a different world. Musically and lyrically. Simple minds did make some great songs but they have not had the longevity U2 have had. And Jim Kerr certainly does not have the vocal range that Bono has.

[@XL6666662000]

I like both, but success is not a natural recognition of 'best'

[@KevBainbridge]

why compare the two?

[@XL6666662000]

Indeed, I agree they are both interesting and persuasive in their own way, we can enjoy both, no need to choose, I remember being forced to do this with friends in schools, those days are long gone. listen to what I like when I like

[@paulmee2768]

this track always sends chills right through my body brrrrrrr

[@joannegordy3134]

I just saw this tremendous band and they are every bit as good now as then ...... spine tingling to see them live !!!!

[@TheBoondj]

Goosebombs this is one heck of à song even witha big symphony orchestra Jim Kerr and huis band doe iT againOne of THE best songs in earth

[@dirtysouthlepluv]

What can I say? This is beautiful! Jim Kerr has an amazing, powerful voice and it REALLLY shows in this particular song!

[@TheDeepShallowness]

One of the best voices in pop. Ever.

[@angelacunningham]

A singing child is the hope of mankind. The flute strike us like a view of Paradise.

[@Harvey077]

The most powerful song I've ever heard..... EVER

[@oldmanarockin]

the most underestimated song ever performed by a great Scottish band.. Awsome.

[@zsazsabinksie]

Just beautiful. Sends chills down your spine. My Belfast, my childhood.

[@CelticAvenue]

If you ever get chance to watch Simple Minds live, do not miss out, you will never watch a better live band... ever :)

[@foxyjoe11]

Right up there as one of my all time favourites, Fantastic.

[@blagojgogov186]

I grow up with simple minds, I saw them once alive in my country, it was a night to remembering, god bless them.

[@ErinMcThingy79]

fantastic. Just got back from Northern Ireland so had goosebumps listening to this...

[@stuartod1]

My God how amazing is this!

[@antonymcwhinnie3913]

the best band in the world,can`t get any better than this!!

[@GeN3TicKz]

Grew up with my parents listening to this, am now 19 years old and it's a blessing i've had to experience amazing music like this and others in the genre.

[@karelfelix2887]

this is epic what a song super great

[@stuarthandley7102]

classic from a great scotish band

[@harleyhoney2005]

This is the most amazing song. I have loved it ever since it was first released. Sends shivers down my spine. Simple Minds are so passionate about their music. They are definitely for real. The lyrics are heart wrenching. I would love this concert on DVD. Thanks ogmuk. You have made my day.

[@dirtysouthlepluv]

I'm in love with Jim Kerr's voice! Wow, just wow.

[@nealsims1958]

That is without doubt the best performance of that song , better than the Berlin and the others . For me it one of the Greatest live performance of any band . That orchestra , from the flute to the harp , the precussion to the strings and the brass section . Jim's vocals and the "lone" guitar the power Charlie's got out . I think Jim realised it was a special performance at the end .

[@shapeshifter8874]

Goosebumps

[@user-wn8rm6rb2i]

They got to the top the hard way with a lot of touring, they still rule, this is beautiful !

Siete straordinari.... Sempre sempre sempre

[@oldmanarockin]

this video is simply briliant. never seen it before, and i bet the arena was just electric that night. [briliant]

[@markwhite8390]

at the time I thought this song was technically, artistically and politically their greatest achievement . . more than 20 yrs later.. not only do I still think that but more importantly I'm right...

[@newgolddream0121]

this is fantastic! classic version of a classic song!

[@paulrollings796]

classic!!! just as good now as it was when first released!!!

[@JoeDaddy4321]

Epic. If I could go back in time just once it would be this date, this venue, this song.

As a guy that’s been involved in a few conflicts........ war is never the answer, the only problem is there’s money in conflict. While the majority suffer the minority prosper. Sad world we live in. Awesome song btw 😎👍

[@Aldo21574]

WOW! Great quality vid thanks for uploading it. I've been a fan of Simple Minds since I was a wee boy and heard 'Waterfront' on a TV mini series called The Justice Game. It remains one of my favourite songs to this day. I can't believe I've never seen them live but I hope to rectify that at Edinburgh Castle this year and if they're anything like they are in this vid I'll be a very happy man!
