Simple Minds and U2, two best band of 80s and wonderful song. One of the bests moment in the history of the rock-pop music. Simple Minds, one of the bests live band ever. Bono is really great, but Kerr as a frontman and live performer like few others. I love all of this

[@newgoldreams4058]

the best gig of all time ... 2 best frontman in the world ever forever

these are real rare places andmoment of u2 and Simple Minds play together in great time!!

[@AngelaHibu]

This was my first gig - aged 14. Thank god I got in - what a gig - topped off by bono duet! EVERYONE loved both bands at the time - well they did in Glasgow :)

[@smurfu2]

Seen Jim & Charlie at the SSE Hydro in 2015 watching U2, Bono asked them if they was coming out to play during CEDARWOOD ROAD. Still have a great friendship after all these years.

[@TerryODowd]

First heard this at the end of a U2 bootleg cassette tape I picked up on O'Connell st. bridge in Dublin back in the late 80's. Simple Minds were the bigger band back then.

[@joanneweir2679]

my dad is a big simple minds fan.he said simple minds is the best live band he see

[@boutineaulouis2838]

They were very creative, in one of the most creative period of rock'n'pop, darling. We called this "the new wave", and every one who dive in it, surely stayed somewhere blocked in his mind since. Simple mind was one of them and one of the most magnificent. We were waiting for the next album religiously and they confirm their success 3 or 4 time then disappeared a bit. But of course, your dad had also loved Depeche mode, U2, The Cure and so on who were great too. It was so powerful to live this for a teen, dear, that surely many of us forgot to work at school for a long time... hope they succeed despite all.

[@zeitesixx]

[@newgolddreamer4657]

Io ho conosciuto uno che ha visto i Simple Minds a Newcastle nel 1982 quando Jim Kerr fece quella storica esibizione in cui presentò "New Gold Dream". Non dico l'invidia che mi prese... Fortuna che ho rimediato nel 2014 quando li vidi a Ferrara: una delle emozioni più forti della mia vita!!!!

[@chiccobrasil5692]

@@newgolddreamer4657 io ho avuto la fortuna, dal 1990 ad oggi, di assistere a 8 concerti dei SM di cui 1 a rio de janeiro e non vedo l'ora di partecipare al prossimo 😁

[@garrybaldy327]

In the late 90s, Jim Kerr & Mick MacNeil went to a U2 gig in Glasgow. After the gig, backstage, Bono saw both men and said "Shit, you lot aren't getting back together, are you?". That line just about sums up Bono's respect for SM. He knew they were always a threat to U2 and he knew Mick leaving the band had killed off that threat. Such a shame the 2008 full band reunion of JK, CB, MM, DF & BM didn't last, but it seems Jim just wasn't prepared to give everyone equal status.

[@AlbertoOstinelli]

At least SM have not ended up playing Vegas and are still making good albums (after a long 15 years difficult times) not like the 3 latest U2 records (I am not even talking about their latest karaoké album..) 😢

In my opinion Bono makes a mess of it by shouting 85, 86, 87, 88. Would he like it if Jim Kerr was invited onto his stage to sing One and he made a mess of that, I don't think so.

[@leebedy71]

81,82,83,84 get it right. The point is two great frontman on the stage at the same time. Jim joined U2 on stage during 11 o clock tick tock in Belgium 83. Been friends since

[@ownedbymykitty270]

Unfortunately Jim Kerr had one too many conversations with gasbag Bono during ‘84/85 and got influenced by him as a result. They went in a more stadium rock, “big sound”, political messaging and overall cheezy direction afterwards which ruined what Simple Minds really were: edgy, futuristic, romantic, and unique.

[@larbeargonzo832]

And I think that is exactly why Derek Forbes, one of the best bassists of the era, left the band. He probably saw this starting to happen with Sparkle in the Rain. And I’m a big U2 fan. I just think Bono and U2 already had that stadium thing covered. I wish that SM and taken a different path. Not a fan of anything after Sparkle.

[@ownedbymykitty270]

@@larbeargonzo832 I completely agree. Derek Forbes was awesome. Mel Gaynor gets a lot of praise but most of the drumming on New Gold Dream was done by the previous drummer with Mel coming in for some additional takes as a session drummer at the time. I personally found Mel’s style too bombastic and overpowering but seems that’s the direction Jim Kerr wanted to take the band. They also had U2 producer for Sparkle in the Rain. It’s a fantastic album but does get too grandiose and arena sounding at times. It was indeed the last album I like from Simple Minds. Likewise, I think U2’s last good album also came out around that time: The Unforgettable Fire.
