Hard to believe Waterfront is 39 years old and Verona was recorded 34 years ago. Still sounds so fresh and powerful- am bouncing around the house listening to it. Saw them last year in Dublin- absolutly brilliant. Hopefully they will announce a tour shortly.

[@ahawkins628]

absolutely quality version of Waterfront

this is still SO Fucking Brilliant, shivers down the spine, EPIC.

[@simonebergamo2698]

I was there in Verona one of the two nights. I've seen some of the best live bands of the 80's / 90's in my life. This is the live performance n. 1 to me. It was absolutely fantastic !

[@gruijtje68]

Lucky you!! It must have been amazing live, such a great concert in such a great setting. Luckely we still have the full video here. I also saw them live a few times. They could perform like no other on stage, so powerful. They are still my no.1 as they were back in '87 when I was 18y old. I remember playing their live double-album many times so loud in my room in the dark, it was magic. The day after the neighbors from a few houses down the road were always complaining about the noise..LOL

[@yamax1]

some magic moments locked inside this song forever.....I would love to grasp these 80's back just for one day -)))) step back in time....

I took the ex to see them live in Glasgow around 2002..I was 22 and it was my first concert and still stands out as one of the best live concerts I've been too.. When we used to have a drink at the weekend's this concert on VHS would get played every other weekend lol.. Jim's energy on stage is awesome. x🎤💙🙏SIMPLE MIND'S are Simply amazing.. x
