Fantastic.. 100% brilliant. A deep appreciation to Jim Kerr N SM for giving us 4 decades for damn good music. Cheers!

Tell you something,the minds one of best live bands you'll ever see .....awesome band

the soundtrack of my life

[@MODWAVE]

God, I'm so glad that even with the pass of the years, Jim still has such a great voice. I'm so proud of him!

[@markomiljak4170]

It's not the voice, but the movements on stage. Jim is the ultimate frontman with a karaoke voice.

Walls came down ... what a great song and performed with a lot of energy and enthousiasm. Mindblowing ! 👍

[@stuartbennett5343]

Excellent version by Simple Minds took me to the original MTV video of walls came down by the call in 1983, a great decade of music especially the first half. Look forward to seeing Simple Minds in Leeds & Hull in April.

After all these years, Jim’s tremendous voice and Charlie’s play are still… alive and kicking. I was a fourthgrader, was in elementary school when this song was a hit. My first favourite band along with Sisters of Mercy - as strange and unfitting as you may find it 😂

The Walls Came Down originally by The Call Lyrics: Well they blew the horns And the walls came down They'd all been warned And the walls came down They stood there laughing They're not laughing anymore The walls came down Sanctuary fades Congregation splits Nightly military raids The congregation splits It's a song of assassins Ringin' in your ears We got terrorist thinking Playing on fears

Is that song a new one from SM ?

Eternos

[@doloreslarrubialeon5579]

[@bencarter6702]

Nicely done but there's always going to be a soft spot for Mel Gaynor on the drums... Plus Andy Gillespie on keys if you can't have Mike MacNeil. And Derek Forbes on bass if you can't have Ged Grimes. So essentially peak 80s Minds is best. And peak 2010s Minds is next best.

[@robchamartin]

Absolutely agree with Mel Gaynor although his performance is quite difficult to level up

[@scrimmy45]

I think you mean Ged Grimes on bass if you can 't have Derek Forbes.

[@thomobrien1854]

Mel is one of the most under rated drummers! … he is missed so much when you listen to newer live performances … his unique hi hat work, subtle little fills etc. … Cherise is talented, but a totally different feel to the music …
