The chords are so simple, as is the rhythm, the bass line, the entire foundation. Technically speaking, the song has no right to be so incredibly magical. Still got no words to explain it, after all these years. Just magic.
Same !!! Jim's voice is still as strong as ever. He still has the range, to hit those high notes. For me, this is S.M. at their very best. Sounds fantastic live !!! 👌
After 40 Jears of beeing Simple Minds Fan I want to thank you very much,Minds! To hear this epic song after so many years new again and so actual in this time ...I have no words to describe what it means to me. Best Song ever.Charly`s play is so epic.Just...speachless.All the best in coming times,Jim and Charly
A timeless classic...from my analogue vinyl collection, the album, 12" single, live albums, and now via the digital domain...this track from the bottom end crunch - through to Charlies' soaring breaks...one of my favorite S.M tracks...we're very fortunate they still deliver...The subwoofer here is a must !!!
This Albums true stars are producer Pete Walsh ...Derek and Mick ....pure perfection. Its the only album i can still go back to after 40 years and still get goose bumps..... Headphones on...on every track ..you can either tune your senses into it as a whole...or pick out the bass...the synths....drums... Its magical...it can take you anywhere you want .
I agree that it sounds good. I have enjoyed listening to it with my spiffy headphones & DAC/headphone amp, and I think the engineering, recording quality, mixing & post-production were generally exemplary, however....'something' was missing. FWIW & IMHO, it sounds just a bit too compressed & dynamically flat, which, in-turn, robs it off the energy one would have experienced in the hall. Perhaps my judgement has been clouded by it being on YT, but I have heard better on YT too. So, I think there were some 'goosebump' moments missing from the listening experience.
Uno dei miei gruppi preferiti fin da piccolo, cresciuto con i loro grandi classici, anche quando la loro carriera sembrava compromessa non li ho mai persi di vista, sapevo che sarebbero tornati in alto, perché i grandissimi come loro non muoiono mai. Lunga vita Simple Minds!
SIMPLE MINDS FOREVER. Como siempre NO pasan los años por este grupo...desde sus inicios mi grupo de cabecera, sintonía de mi programa de radio con Theme for The Greats Cities en el Mentes Dementes que sonó en Valencia en los 80S...un largo camino que seguiré recorriendo con ellos año tras año, y que sean muchos. Saludos a tod@s desde Valencia.❤❤
Un sound inarrivabile...fresco, elettrico e rock in un mix perfetto e unico nel suo genere. Li ho sempre trovati bravissimi, musicali e in questo caso originali.
Great performance! BTW, the arpeggiated part heard in the last minute of the song (and mixed to drift between left & right at the back of the soundstage) was a really nice touch! It picked up the torch & carried the 'vibe' of the song forward, while the band calmed down & let the energy they created drift into the cosmos.... 👍
Hypnotic song from the beginning, Jim Kerr & Bono probably the Best love rock singers, new gold dream one if the Best Avant garde and exquisite alternative albums of 80s...
I was going to buy the Vinyl of this but then I saw the drummer and he/she reminded me of karine-jean-pierre and did not see Mel , also many reports of side B being miscentered so the needles sways back and forth and causes a warbly sound.
Charlie's guitar never fails!
Nor Jim Kerr vocals chords
Personal pitch and style ever.
The most underrated guitarist on the planet!
Charlie es uno de los mejores guitarras de todos los tiemos
Their best song. Blew my mind when I first heard it and still does in all its version, till the bitter end.....
timeless, epic, brilliant, 80's THE BEST TIMES EVER...I am blessed to have grown up right through...oh to go back !!
Could not agree more
Absolutely so! I was young in the 80s but my.mum used to always play simple minds got me into them!
The chords are so simple, as is the rhythm, the bass line, the entire foundation. Technically speaking, the song has no right to be so incredibly magical. Still got no words to explain it, after all these years. Just magic.
Who knew a song could be so magical... One of the best ever written.
UNA DELLE CANZONI PIù BELLE MAI SCRITTE IN ASSOLUTO. DIFFICILE TENERGLI TESTA!
This album propelled me into my love for SM. It's an absolute classic from the Band's best line up ever!
Same !!! Jim's voice is still as strong as ever. He still has the range, to hit those high notes. For me, this is S.M. at their very best. Sounds fantastic live !!! 👌
An absolute time classic I’m now 59
the sound is as fresh as it ever was, Charlie's guitar is epic he's up there with the greats...
Forever brilliant. My favourite SM song. I remember the first time I heard this song, it was brilliant then and sounds even better today. Salute SM
Mick MacNeil's accordion rules 😊
It certainly does..the master demonstrating his talent

I'd attend church every weekend if I knew SM were playing.

Still the best Simple Minds song 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Agree. This song has always cast a spell on me. Just a beautiful, otherworldly piece of music.
Charlie’s class guitar screaming fantastic

So well produced for a live album, the band are spot on.

You always were a class outfit but also a reflection of what Scotland could produce
Really beautiful!!!, Please come to Brazil!!!!
Gives me shivers every time
Me too, have had that for ages with this song❤
Sounds great!
They need to perform Once upon a time “ live as well
Magique….et intemporelle, N°1 pour moi ♥️🤟🏼
Sure! I thought the new remix would lose quaity in voice and music performance.. They sound as ever
