Was dancing on my own in my teenager bedroom. Still dancing on my own in my living room after being married and having two kids. Simple Minds. You still got me. 🙂 ❤

Iconic bass lines by the amazing Derek Forbes! Simple Minds in their prime!

[@hanskloss1331]

a stellar rhythm section ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@fleckyundsky2973]

simply unbelievable live sound .... seldom heard such a live song in such perfection .... the simple minds between 1981-1984 were the real simple minds ... today they are a shadow of themselves..........

[@brucefindlay]

You mean you didn't see them in 1978 '79 and '80.....?

[@jackfrossed7965]

i used to - do - feel the same way. i eventually figured out why: the basist - derek forbes - left, or was forced out right after Once Upon a Time was recorded or released. then i think 5 or 6 years after that, McNeil on keyboards and synth left. . . but when forbes was gone, the core DNA of their unique sound was lost. . . Amen

[@Florislaurens]

This is absolutely stunning! Breathtaking performance, such utter talents, can't believe it! Those people who were there in the audience; when their time has come they can easily die in peace, they've seen it all!!

[@bobbadoux38]

For gods sake what a sound!!!!!!! 😱😱 Another fantastic job. Bose thanks you!! 😉

[@clausjohansson8233]

Thats Why i love SM..Since 81🖤

[@dhartert1]

I saw Simple Minds I guess in 1983 in Heidelberg/Germany, I believe they had the exact same pants and shirts :-) But even better, this clip brings me back in time, like it was just yesterday. Awesome piece of music, it was so different then arriving at this new sound after 10 years of 70s rock music (which I still love as well!)

[@Toshackeegan1nil]

At 4.25 Charlie was surprised by the ( false note). Love his guitar playing. So underated

[@emcash7042]

What was it? I don’t hear it

[@michaelbutler7805]

Looks like The Lyric near the Strand; they did a series of concerts just before the release of the New Gold Dream album, around mid '82. Absolutely at their best, just before the really big stadia concerts came with the release of NGD.

[@dexbam-remastering]

they didn't fill big stadiums until 1985

[@michaelbutler7805]

@@dexbam-remastering Last time I saw them was on the Europe tour @ Wembley (same year they did Live at Verona). Didn't enjoy the huge stadium experience much - then I left for Sydney and never came back. This brings back good memories though, had an amazing circle of friends at the time. We saw them 30-odd times live in just a couple of years.

Fabulous track and performance with the ultimate line-up before Lord Kerr got his head stuck up his butt and went all stadium rock trying to do a U2

[@missyschmit2129]

Exactly!!!
