Simple Minds have been musical pioneers for 40 glittering years. Catching the mood of the post-punk era, when the angry sounds of 1977 were splintering into a thousand different shapes, they emerged with a style rooted in the art-rock of David Bowie and the electronic dance of Donna Summer. They went on to become one of the great bands of their generation, deploying rousing choruses and booming atmospherics to provide a soundtrack that has endured. They topped the American chart with Don't You (Forget About Me) and followed suit in the UK with the Ballad Of The Streets EP (featuring Belfast Child). In selling over 60 million records, they have seen three of their 20 studio albums reach number one in the UK - Sparkle In The Rain, Once Upon A Time and Street Fighting Years - a chart-topping feat equalled by their live album Live In The City Of Light and the compilation Glittering Prize. A spellbinding touring band, they have graced the world's biggest stadiums. They starred at Live Aid and played three momentous London shows in honour of Nelson Mandela. The past decade has also seen a remarkable resurgence, their world-class credentials acknowledged by a Q magazine Inspiration award in 2014 and an Ivor Novello in 2016. They are now marking their 40th anniversary with a world tour, live album and career-spanning compilation.

My 20 years ticket on my Bucket list is under pressure due to COVID Promised my 16 year old son to go to watch his 54 year old dads favorite band. Flying from Vietnam, picking him up and watching the gig mid august in Scotland was the plan. Looks like it will become a 21 year old item in the bucket list 😕

You don't speak for me, that bird ruined the night for me, I paid to hear Jim sing not her. Terrible.

[@TheAnchoressOfficial]

Video from the Big Music Tour 2015 with me sharing lead vocals with Jim Kerr from Simple Minds.

[@ArtAndTalk]

catherineADmusic Hi Catherine! I saw you and the band in Perth and thought you were all amazing. I first saw the band live at Tiffany's in Glasgow 1982 and I was reminded of that because of the intimacy of the venue. Great band, songs, sound and lights in 2015. Like what you and Sarah have contributed so far! All the best.

[@paulrogerson3214]

you have an amazing voice

[@joel32260]

Good job, this is the best version of this song

[@TheDuncs11]

You ruined one of their best songs. I paid to see Simple Minds not some unknown woman singing the song, and I'll never forgive you for slaughtering Rivers of Ice.

[@TheAnchoressOfficial]

@@ArtAndTalk thank you

[@isylium1110]

[@petrone2006rosario]

Mel had a "mucus rush" during the first part of the song. =-)

[@muguerza1016]

+M(hahahah.. yes :)

[@nonsololiguria]

what is the name of the female singer

[@rpm1796]

This one represents heavy shite for me.... my escape on Sea Cat from Belfast @ 35Kts....8 ''Guinea's'' later...and I was back..... She was Close...Saint Andy, God............... and The Hills!

[@thefuppy]

They were always great live and this is an amazing song but I’m wondering about his voice because he doesn’t sing the most important part of the song which is disappointing.

[@tomislavsmolic442]

Sombody watch me

[@stefanosette5603]

Ma una bella visita a Roma non la potrebbero fare sti amici dai Jim kerr

[@theapollopythianexperience6992]

[@plopperator]

Mel Gaynor looks bored out of his skull

[@georgiecross9921]

Proving once again when you play around with the original . It just turns to woke shite!! Shame as simple minds in their pomp were the bollox!!

[@freedomrights2012]

the girl sings better than kerr...

[@jerryonspeed]

Great version, but Jim Kerr seems to have lost quite a bit of his vocal range...

[@tipple58]

Beautiful.
