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.

Man, that was great. Rest in peace, Michael Been 💔

[@philipkoziol8440]

The greatest song ever written. RIP Michael Bean. It still lives on! Superb edition. Thank you. Phil

[@tonyfrancesco3701]

You have to be a special human being to write such a beautiful song , it’s like God saying Good morning to us . I agree with you

[@thomaselliott573]

anyone who would let a charlatan like Al Gore use this for a political sham must have been a bimbo

[@randymiller3949]

I couldn't agree with you any more if I wanted to... I can't count the times I have listened to this GREAT GREAT song...all the way back to 1989!!! Michael Been wrote an ABSOLUTE AWESOME PERFECT SONG & it has lived on past his death...INCREDIBLE!!! Much love from Mobile Alabama.

[@justincredible.]

You've missed a lot of songs haven't you?

[@Hornadayfan]

His last name was Been..

[@johngonzalez624]

I hear The Call. Keep shining up there, Michael Been.

[@ladybuggy7676]

[@takoyakikambeck6638]

Aye up the Scotts hold fast Clan Macleod ...love simple minds forever

[@claytontucker659]

A great song and tribute to Michael Been and The Call. Saw The Call supporting Simple Minds in Mesa, Arizona in 1986. Great memories.

[@WussGawd]

I was at that show as well. Great double bill.

[@mlukas]

I saw the same tour in LA that year, great show with two amazing bands!

[@johncopple6479]

WOW! I am sure that was Amazing!!! Fuck Corona Virus!! Let the Day BEGIN!!

[@markrichards3747]

I saw the same tour in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Amazing.

[@utbabee]

I saw that tour as well. Best double bill I've ever seen. Hard to choose who was the better band. But I may just have to give it to Simple Minds, as they had backing singer Robin Clark and drummer Mel Gaynor. Great memories!!

[@goldsaj]

Majestic guitar solo from Charlie.

[@rogeliogamboa7644]

wow - what a lead guitar player - what a band - legendary - Jim Kerr : wow

[@ChurchOfTheHolyMho]

Great cover. I love how they made it their own but kept it honest to the original. Excellent. I didn't know the Call opened for them - so how appropriate they open their show with this song. Thanks comment section.

[@stuartdollar9912]

The Call toured with them during the Once Upon A Time tour. I saw them in Mesa, AZ. The Call opened for them during their tour to promote the Reconciled Album ("I Still Believe") Michael Been came out to sing on the same number he did backing vocals for from Once Upon A Time. It was a great double bill.

[@landru141]

Seems so right for them to do song by the Call ... The Call opened for them when I saw them in the 80s.

[@youtubeaccount8056]

Michael Fuller o wow that had to hav been fantastic concert

[@danielmeredith9620]

I love the call too, listen wvery day still!

[@kathyleigh8395]

All the members of the call were very good friends of mine in Santa Cruz California

[@newageopinions870]

The #1 most underatted band....ever!!!

[@thomassharoniard4629]

Is it absolutely fantastic ??? !! Yes, it totally is !!!

[@Empath2110]

So good to hear this again. I wept a little, I went to the same Church as Michael Been in Manhattan at Times Square Church under Pastor Dave Wilkerson. Michael was a genuinely nice guy...r.i.p.❤

[@andrewwickstead3802]

What a band ..... grown up with them since my teens ... still brilliant

[@Pincer88]

Really wish this performance would be brought out on DVD. I keep playing it and never get bored.

[@angelavincentanonymousart8345]

[@ChrisIrving-f7k]

As a teenager one of the best live shows. Ever

[@takamushinagamoto5086]

Listening this song gives to your mind the sight of wide wastelands, where infinite sky meets the land, crowded by forest...a song of infinity

[@toms5oh]

[@patrickcostello4146]

Mel, so chill. my favorite.

[@brucejones1867]

Long time fan of The Call. Michael was a great songwriter/performer, and this song is one of the best. Simple Minds did it very, very nicely.

[@KennethWilliamElkington]

Such a wonderful uplifting song... SM weave their (thumpin') cosmic magic... yet again. Cheers lads!

[@clarkarnold5431]

What a great performance. Wish i would’ve been there The Call did it great also 😉

[@Theearthtraveler]

What a great song!

[@joerosaticollective]

This is phenomenal !!! cant believe I haven't heard this before, just started digging into Big Music WOW!!!

[@cheryllynmc]

Yeah. Grow up and take the words ro this song to heart.

[@lilyral1980]

Such a fantastic song and atmosphere!!

[@thomassharoniard4629]

Some have completely accepted their roles of bridges, as Nietzche has mentionned the importance, and have spread something shining and significant like Simple Minds has always done and others will disappear without any credit... I congratulate from the deep of my heart this invulnerable band

[@patrickcostello4146]

Charlie Burchill is such a brilliant guitarist.

[@andresmelendez5410]

No hay duda, Simple Minds podía reversionar esta gran canción como se merece !!!

[@massimilianoizzi9324]

Over and over again listening magic music magic feeling magic groove

[@Winesensor]

[@jamiedyercville]

This is fecking great.

[@_JimS]

Just ran up on this one. One of my favorite bands doing one of my favorite tunes....just AWESOME!!!!! I have goosebumps...

[@glennhalila8279]

Jim's Voice is still Great! He's still Moving around the Stage Great! Charlie is one of the Greatest Guitarists in the World Ever! Mel Gaynor hasn't gotten the Credit he deserves, because he's one of the Greatest Drummers in the World Ever, in my opinion. Simple Minds is one of the Greatest Bands of All Time in my Opinion.

[@michaelirwin652]
