U2 - New Gold Dream from Simple Minds

[@gudvidsdale]

Simple Minds for a lifetime achievment award- anyone else agree?

[@Ognen11]

To all those who spit at either Kerr or Bono: Just imagine what it would have been like to be at this gig! Kerr asked Bono to join him. Kerr commented in an interview during the gig that, apart from Peter Gabriel, U2 may be the best live band in the world. They were friends, they jammed, they were having great time and so did the audinece. Whether Bono sang LIKE Kerr is irrelevant. The energy is fantastic!Isn't that what matters in music? Isn't that why everybody goes to a gig? So, play it loud!

[@dirkmertens6926]

Realizing this was 40 years ago. I was there. Still go.

[@maphilib]

I was there too ...

[@Noodles37UK]

New Gold Dream is one of the greatest tracks ever done in the history of rock.

[@EllasItellasmultiservizi]

God bless simpleMinds and U2

[@philippeesvelin702]

This must be the ultimate song, Bono singing the best song ever made together with Jim Kerr. It can't get any better. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@pie68]

Straordinaria, fenomenale accoppiata U2-SM i Top da sempre con la loro musica strabiliante...🙏 Claudio Moreno per darci modo di rivivere quei tempi... Che ricordi... Solo noi che li abbiamo vissuti nel nostro DNA sappiamo di cosa parliamo... Apocalittica apoteosi dei sensi allo stato puro by anni 80, si perché quella era MUSICA...

[@byebyevolca]

Dal vivo le miglior brand

[@VangelovenP]

nostalgie , nostalgie, ik heb het ontdekt na al die jaren. Prachtig !!!

[@U2HL]

2 best frontmen in the world!!!

[@Luvthesky]

I'd add Michael Hutchence

[@jtlampsu2]

Mr Mercury would argue with that.

[@AndreaBodini-e1v]

Semplicemente unici, kerr e Bono🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝

[@alabardean]

2 bands was One Soul!

[@theorbsexed70]

I WANT A TIME MACHINE!

[@ronaldvanderkleij]

Nooit gehoord maar het blijkt maar weer dat voor de echte kenners the simple minds verder waren dan U2 in het licht van New Gold Dream wat echt het beste album aller tijden is .

[@feenoSM]

Said to my pals in school in 85...u2 will never reach the standards of feeling ...we had MacNeill,Forbes,Burchill,Kerr,Gaynor.... Better musicians, singer... enuff said..full stop.

[@TheJohnpringle3]

legends

[@pykeranger]

first time i heard this fantastic!!! one for history.

[@dilsondealmeida5270]

Twins voices they´are both,amazing.Awesome

[@brucedaft]

this is from simple minds 4 night stint at the Barras in the New Year of 1985. it was magic to see Bono looked like he did at the Live AID CONCERTit was amazing to see and it was recorded during u2s xmas break from their unforgettable fire tour and he and his wife Ali stayed at Jim, parents house for their break.Simple minds were on amazing form that night and it was derek forbes last gig weith the group before he was sacked. its footage like this that makes You tube worthwhile.

[@jodoko04]

[@wellingtonrodriguesdossant854]

Meu sonho é ver esses dois astros cantando juntos seria top.

[@debs1969]

This was the Barrowlands, I was there too and have it on a bootleg cassette :-)

[@andymorrow]

This was in Glasgow in January 1985. I know cos I was there.

[@doffincodger]

Best Scottish band ever!

[@faddy24]

[@Leni71]

aaaah this is smashing.

[@gordazacatitos]

Sweet Jeebus. That! Was electrifying. holy shit.... that was incredible. words fail me now....

[@bradlloyd9637]

In those days Jim Kerr had a much much better voice than Bono, I don't care what anybody says.

[@seanf12012]

ye i think ur right. jim's voice seems better.

[@calmster]

He didn't though, not in a million years, I love both bands bit Bono is and always was a far better singer, especially live.

[@interestedtech1]

Bono is so on point live. 2 great bands but U2 just has that little extra bite edge if you will. Of course this is just my opinion.

[@RockLatitudes]

Jim has always been a better singer than Bono, imho, what Bono does best is screaming, though nowadays I don't think so, but if we talk about singing, Jim is better, which doesn't mean Bono is not a great frontman

[@BIGNOIDS]

Honestly I don't think there was a better live band than Simple Minds when they were at their peak.

[@ProjectElysium]

Taken from: Summertime In Glasgow (Bootleg '85)...great sound, thanks for this video.

[@Pelykanos]

Wäre ds Klasse, wenn U2 und Simple Mind mals wieder zusammen auftreten würden und zusammen ihre größten Hits spielen würden

[@lloydrobson]

I have this album on BOOTLEG which I still have in cassette tape #ThatsScary

[@paulking8275]

[@Master_of_Time_]

[@giovannim.2422]

Tempo fa avevo postato anche io questa fantastica esibizione dei due più grandi interpreti della new age

[@ArimaKihe1]

Nice! I will look into that; thankyouverymuch! :-)

[@nevets4ever4]

So strange to hear this - two great anthemic songs covered by Bono, Jim & band mates - New Gold Dream and then Jim plunges into The Door's Light My Fire. And to think that The Joshua Tree lay ahead of Bono, Larry, Adam and The Edge...85...86....87...indeed....

[@HARDROCKRAMMSTEINFAN]

yeahh they did history!

[@IngoDE]

looking forward for their next common gig, soon !!!

[@javasol09]

Star Hits once interviewed Jim Kerr describing Simple Minds' music as a feminine U2. They are forever linked.

[@chompypunk890]

I think booth (Jim and Bono) could reach the same rank of voice. And also their style have much similarity, but at the same time each one preserve their own!

[@chris1978nl]

@davyjones800 you have good ears... had to listen it back few times.

[@an8856]

🏆❤️ U2 simple minds ❤️🏆

[@nema1218]

I always felt that these two bands had the same sound,especially during the 80's.The thing is Jim Kerr and Bono both have similar voices,and they kind of looked like each other back then.There are some Simple Minds songs I enjoy better than U2,but both are good bands and to each their own.Great video!

[@msshortbread1]

bono you have just killed one of the greatest songs of all time.why do you have to shout, cant you sing?its when you hear these two together you realise who is leagues ahead,sm forever!sm have got bigger and better same as bonos head!

[@Alienkiwi730]

simple minds is why i got into u2

[@erickovach3062]

OK Let's get them back together again to sing just once more. Please......

[@faddy24]

This gig was in Glasgow and not bloody Belguim. I know, i was there!! Showing my age again ha ha

[@astridsmile]

LOVE

[@fanofheadroom1]

[@gillesdufief8580]

The golden age

[@Carelesshottie1]

I like it!

[@musclext]

What would I give to be at that concert...........

[@ettorestewart1250]

Sorry if someone has already said this, but i'm sure this was at Barrowlands in early 1985. I was there.

[@mredben]

Wenn man bedenkt, dass Bono zig facher Multimillionär mit seiner Musik geworden, aber nicht mal in der Lage ist 1:49 min die Töne eines Liedes zu treffen. Junge, junge ;-)

[@JohnoEAL]

Who? OH!!!! You mean that bloke singing with the breathtaking awesome incredible Jim Kerr!!! Yeah, s'pose he's alright...

[@cabsandy]

lol-I was there for that night-we thought we had the bum deal being the 2nd night out of 3.We got Bono ;-)

[@newgoldreams]

the best ever forever

[@DAVIEBHOY]

to answer a question you are all asking about the beautiful album new gold dream. this album was voted in the top one hundred albums to listen to before you die it took glasgow born four jim Charlie mick and mel gaynor 3 and half years to make the album hence 81 82 83 84 it is deemed to be the minds best album work ever I totally agree it was released in 84 and went on tour with it the tour was also called the new gold dream tour 81 82 83 84.nelson mandela was a massive fan of there work when mandela was doing his 27 yr stretch he heard a song on the radio it was called promised you a miracle he loved it that mutch he got the album and true to this day he said it was one of the most beautiful pieces of music on a album he had heard that's hoe the boys from Glasgow became good friends with him and helped him to get released.

[@ronaldvanderkleij]

Now the dream is over, they count their bills.Enough to heal the world.

[@gloriacastellans3615]

Loveeeeeeee🔝🔝🔝💚💚

[@davidh8724]

Probablement aquesta no sigui la millor versió d'aquesta gran cançó... però per als afortunats que hagin pogut gaudir de Jim Kerr & Bono compartint escenari, déu haver estat la millor amb diferència 😎👍

[@lisamarie656]

It would be awesome to see them perform together again!!!! Glastonbury??

[@gangstahboyy]

omg, the 2 fucking biggest bands of the 80's on the same stage..... i soooo wanted to be there

[@Guymac100]

Definitely different from the Barrowlands version - I should know, I was at there!

[@Noodles37UK]

I've never been but my Dad is friendly with an ex Rangers person and has been to many. He says the atmosphere is just something else.

[@davyjones800]

SIMPLE MINDS!

[@exwhyyou]

comeonbaby light my fire

[@Jimmy_Cooper]

This is from The Glasgow Barrowlands and not Werchter.I have a bootleg i bought not long after it ,and Bono makes 2 very clear references to Glasgow
