Simple Minds - Sydney Opera House, Late Show Complete (4K) 8th Feb 2024

[@reresimone4300]

arguably one of the best albums produced in the early ‘80s. and love song, released well before, a masterpiece.

[@pauldegroote7873]

Agree ,this song is a masterpiece.The song was not made from theirselves and was reserved for Biily Idol and he refuged.After Idol saw it as the biggest mistake in his carreer!

[@Miss-Katie]

How fabulous! I saw them in '84 @ Narara NSW. One of the best live concerts I've ever seen.

[@craiglang3492]

Glasgow last night! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Brilliant!🔥🔥🔥

[@TomasLjung-jj5dp]

They came long far away from Scotland and to prove their music are so good live on stage at Sydney opera house must say Bravissimo ☆☆☆☆☆

[@Footballfan14462]

Simple Minds are quickly becoming my favourite band [again]

[@MarcusWainwright]

Saw them at Roundhay park in 1989 awesome best gig I ever saw brilliant

[@barrypetcher8542]

I was at that Gig.

[@christopherdavies3079]

Wow ! I’ve seen quite a bit of footage on KZbin from this NZ / Aus tour by Simple Minds The band are getting better all the time on this tour . They’re on fire in this concert . I really wish I was there as it looks fantastic Just grateful I could see them on this download Thanks to gre@t gigs for filming it soooo well. 👋👋👋👋👋

[@silverboots2934]

Awesome show thank you for filming

[@Kouros-t6d]

One of the best live band EVER! And their last album is at the same level as their best

[@altern80]

What a setlist 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@GiZZModee]

I saw simple last night in Berlin, it was amazing. so full of energy. wonderful😎🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@karenglenn6707]

I saw them live in Melbourne Australia in 1984 when I was 23 with my then boyfriend, they did a tour with The Eurythmics. I left that show a Simple Minds freak and still have the New Gold Dream cassette from back then. I live in country Victoria now so couldn’t get down to see them, devastated. This is brilliant thank you, for those of us who wanted to go but couldn’t!! Just as bloody epic as they were back then!!,

[@philnorbury9032]

Thanks so much I can’t make it to the Perth gig, still the best band I’ve ever seen live: back in 86 from memory.

[@rolandotancioco2943]

Wow 🎉 Fantastic concert!!!

Ancora in splendida forma ❤

[@captainmission]

beautiful band

[@debmacdonald1037]

they still put on a quality performance - thank you

[@michelebertolini4396]

😍I TRAVEL!!!! 😍 In the concert I saw in Pistoia (Italy) in 2022, it was not in the setlist 😥

[@PaulWilliams-on3ir]

Saw them in 1986(?) in Adelaide.Do Re Mi were special guests.They’ve still got it.

[@nicolaeasthope3596]

Thank you! Absolute magic. Saw SM for the third time in Taupō a few weeks ago, where they kicked off this tour. A beautiful natural amphitheater by the lake but I would have preferred to be front row in the Sydney Opera House! Way better sound quality and you got a very full set (we had 1.5 fab hours after Pseudo Echo - so good and energetic! - and Collective Soul - fine if you like that sort of thing - and Texas - blah!). How dreamy are 'Theme for Great Cities' and 'Hunter and the Hunted' live?!

[@teddybear9029]

I see the minds in 95 at London’s dockland arena, that was the good news from the next world tour, fantastic stuff!

[@jcdrums2798]

beautiful!

[@sergioouteiralfuentes7093]

Fantastic ❤😊

[@j1984ha]

Saw them the other week at the Red Hot Summer Tour. Brilliant night

[@vicenteribeiro6831]

Muito obrigado pela mensagem abraço 🤗

[@christopherdavies3079]

Thanks for this great footage of Simple Minds on the Oz end of their current tour I can’t believe how close to the band the fans are . It’ll be interesting to see if the band are within touching distance when they play Margate , England in the summer

[@hans-henrikrasmussen53]

Had tickets to see them Easter '83, but got offered an Easter Holiday in the UK that collided. So handed over the tickets to my sis an her hubby. They could later rub my nose in tales of it being by far the best concert they'd ever attended!BUMMER!🤬 Had my revenge in the summer of '89 at a huge arena concert, and later again some 7 years ago👍 And have tickets yet again for the upcoming month. That said; I miss Mel. She's okay, but Mel OWNS the songa from NGD 81-82-83-84 For me perhaps thee best album coming outta the eighties😘👌🏻

[@lindaellen808]

Loved this.

[@simonsaunders4499]

Great stuff

[@mariedanilowicz8903]

Erik done hunter & hunted solo 😊💖 spot on

[@IngaHaas]

I often watch old and new clips of concerts from SM. I was hoping for a great concert, but not that great! Amazing!!! I find Jim has improved his vocals big time.

[@susanrushton2490]

Seen Simple Minds a few times.Incredible live and JK great frontman.

Great to see their still Alive and Kicking!

[@Genny-Zee]

😊

[@christopherdavies3079]

Does anybody know who this new keyboard player as he has made a big difference to their live sound ?

[@greatgigs_oz]

Erik Ljunggren: played with a slew of Norwegian groups eg. Seigmen, Vampire State Building, Zeromancer, before a long stint working with members of a-ha. Certainly a great addition to Simple Minds. no-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Erik_Ljunggren?_x_tr_sl=it&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp

Looks like a great concert. However, can't beat the concert in Perth 😉😉😂😂

Who will replace Jim and Charlie when they call it a day ?? Sooty and Sweep ??✌️✌️🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@kayneroyballard]

@great gigs, did you find Steve?

[@greatgigs_oz]

Too funny! Yes, he was up on the balcony overlooking the stage!

[@pz0lfs]

What happened on the first attempt of Alive & Kicking - seemed OK but they stopped.

[@dcanmore]

I think Jim missed his cue on the first attempt and was out of sync with the band.

[@scottjohnson921]

@@dcanmore He handled it gracefully

[@mancity775]

Did they do 2 shows on the same day??

[@greatgigs_oz]

Certainly did. Early and Late show. Epic effort... Catch the early show here... kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWaxg6OJl6mCqtk

[@henryheinzjunker8807]

so cool - high fast internet

[@napasmith5689]

Extreme mic cupping. He he.

[@derekhellmann515]

Jim probably sings to himself in the shower. 😆

[@frankdecock2735]

Watched some recent shows on YT lately. I don't know if Jim thinks his Prrr... thing is cool, but in fact it's bloody annoying and a hell of a good reason not to buy tickets! Absolutely hate it.

[@greatgigs_oz]

@frankdecock2735 It’s as idiosyncratic as his ‘Lemmeseeyourhands’ ‘everythingok?’ and trademark back bends. I guess after doing thousands of shows you, me or any of us might be guilty of repeating a few habitual traits too…

[@frankdecock2735]

@@greatgigs_oz Let me see your hands makes sense. And we show them... but "prrr....", well, I'll go cuddle a cat instead :). True, it's probably a (in my eyes very bad) habit. Anyway, I've seen them alive plenty, so there's no need to expose myself to Prr... But sorry, it's a real mood killer to me. Never mind, just my 2 cents.

[@greatgigs_oz]

@@frankdecock2735 totally get it.

[@jcdrums2798]

sarah ! awesome legs

[@daveybass62]

why the hell is the bass player not playing the intro its only a open d ffs

[@DylanHamilton-lh4rk]

They ought tae chuck it mhan.

[@Stephen-xc3jz]

What do you mean chuck it? Quit? As if man, ots a pro band with a 45+ year career a huge following and clearly still good healthy performers.

[@Biffinnbridge]

They did the matinee show to pay for Jim’s pies and Charlie’s hair dye bill.

[@greatgigs_oz]

Watch the second show. Jim says about the two shows on one night: “Double bubble, Charlie”

[@totstoybox]

He sounds drunk lol

[@Yowie9644]

Nah, he's a 65yo man who is absolutely knackered from doing two shows in one night.

[@reggyhlm1939]

their not simple minds anymore derek forbes is right that he doesnt want anything to do with them anymore to many changes now a woman drummer really come on what was wrong with mel gaynor one of the best drummers in the world!!!!!

[@quizzy840]

"Now a woman drummer"??? ... Really? Cherisse Osei is without question one of the world's best drummers.
