Simple Minds Waterfront Princess Gardens Edinburgh 13th Aug 2022 New Gold Dream 40th Anniversary

[@luciengalano5847]

Cherisse Osei on drums is a class of its own. rarely seen a Woman like that enjoying every single hit on the drums, and the Waterfront song is based on the archaic drum kicks ...fantastic drummer lady ... more of this Lady ..drums vibe inside and outside her ...Hats off!

I love Simple Minds music beyond words. Fell in love with their music when I was about 15 and I'm still listening at 51. Come tour in the USA please!

[@animaljustice7774]

I know right? They hardly ever come to the states. I’ve been a fan since 1984.

[@FoobsTon]

​@@animaljustice7774 they'll be visiting in 2024. No excuses.

[@karenyoung1281]

Saw Simple Minds many years ago. They were more than amazing in Princes Street Gardens on 12 August. Brilliant band in an amazing setting.

[@animaljustice7774]

Nice, but stop using the word amazing!

[@Birdy-1]

FANTASTIC... And what a reception! Jim knows just how to get the crowd cranked up! 🎶❤🎶

[@Shom909]

What a awesome night took my wife to only her second SM gig she did not stop dancing all night. Hope they play there again wonderful city and venue. Thanks for posting. 🙂

[@catherinesimpson3502]

Raised a wee toast to Derek Forbes on this one ☝️ 🥂. Thanks for posting , it was a fabulous gig !

[@stephenwalker4809]

It’s me Glen Green. I was at the gig it was great. Jim and the boys rock! Could have laid on some sandwiches though, got a bit peckish after the second song and had to nip out for a French provincial meal. Yum!

[@animaljustice7774]

Sparkle in the rain album was pivotal to thier career and it really opened the door to success for simple minds. It’s my favorite SM album and waterfront is on it. Man I love these guys

Best band in the World bar none

Jim and Charlie - LEGENDS! Mind….Jim’s moves, always slightly dubious, looking a bit like Peter Wright

[@ciphermatrix]

Tremendous song.

[@dawnpatersonross3826]

What a Fri night! Class 👌🏼👌🏼

[@animaljustice7774]

I wish Mick Mcniel would come back. He was (is) a spectacular keyboardist. I’ll never forget his playing in November 1985 at the Wang Center Boston. Just magnificent

[@loucat2779]

Saw them at the Orpheum a few years before, wicked good. New keyboard player is a little easier on the eyes than Mick though, lol.

[@animaljustice7774]

@@loucat2779 true. OK they played the Orpheum theater in Boston in 1984, I know this because I missed that concert due to a horrible friend not providing a ride home.

[@welshlad6427]

Mick is an absolute legend.

Genesis 2:7-8 "On the 8th day God placed a drum kit in the Garden. On the 9th day God created Cherisse and placed her in the Garden next to the drum kit" !!!!

[@katycarrick4228]

I was there amazing.

[@tombreckenridge6768]

Well recommended, almost as good as many many years ago though age is starting to take over

[@choyleefutsd]

AMAZING

[@TR-nq5fm]

Great line up...

[@potkettle8185]

all those folk with the cameras how was the concert nae idea, i was too busy videoing it, but will watch it back later too see how good it was whats the point in going to see a top band like this and spending half your time trying to video the whole thing!

[@jollyboyjohnmck]

Yet here you are watching it 🤡

[@potkettle8185]

@@jollyboyjohnmck correct, but I wasn't there to enjoy them live, seen many of the top acts in Edinburgh over the years. Went to watch and enjoy them live. Nowadays folk to have to video it. a strange modern phenomen

It has,but their still knocking it out, I don’t think Jim can stop,it’s in his blood.

[@colinrawlinson6258]

yet their still filling 20’000 seater stadiums night after night

[@stevem.2008]

My Mom , don t Drink after Midnight

[@jameshill5621]

Love the Minds and respect to all the musicians, but they need Mel Gaynor and Derek Forbes. Sort of a semi-tribute band otherwise.

[@neilb1906]

Agree totally. This is Simply Steps, not the Minds I know and love.

[@philipmowbray8810]

It's become a circus show 🤣🤣🤣

[@maitredebas249]

3 of the 5 is pretty good compared to a lot of bands from the 80s. Look at Foreigner. 0 of 5.

[@TR-nq5fm]

Forbes and Gaynor are sleeping already You just look to old times....how are they now 🤷‍♂️

[@kevinwharton2341]

Sadly so Correct.

[@TR-nq5fm]

Great vibe

[@adrianfundescu5407]

Sad copy of Simple Minds 80 's ...so sad . Go blessss. Dead and etc .

[@StuartSimms-gj5ui]
