Simple Minds - Alive and Kicking. Night of the Proms (Rotterdam, Netherlands 1997). ( There is a higher quality version here: • Simple Minds - Alive &... )
Thought they were just another 80s band, liked their songs back then, nothing special. Boy, was I ever wrong. Glad to have the opportunity to catch up.
Of course Don’t You blah blah is the big hit, and I do love it. But this song is epic. It’s a great album and I think this song in particular really stands the test of time. I think it’s just as strong today as it was decades ago.
So grateful this Simple Minds video is here! I absolutely love watching this. Jim and the band is at the top of their game. What a performance! And the orchestra! The audience was so engaged. I'm 62 years old now and I feel like the '80s and 90s just passed by so fast. I would give anything to turn the clock back again. I am into their music - more now than ever!
I am "only" 52, but the 90's were the best decade. Not only because being in my 20ties but it looks like it was the last decade of optimism and innocence. After the cold war, but before 9/11 and all the current crisises. This video brings back so many great memories...
Ya ves somos tantos k nos gustaris reyroceder el reloj pero tenemos k estar contentos pork nosotros lo vivimos y fue maravilloso solo hay k ver aquellos tiempos y los de ahora
@@johnnywalker2022 Heck yeh. I married a Glaswegian. We have two waens and I proudly tell them they’re half Scottish! Love that country and its people!!
No Coronavirus here..those were the good 'ole days when people went to great concerts like this one! So magical! This great masterpiece is pure energy for my soul! Keep the faith in man/womankind! This song give us hope!
What I'm Hearing is a throwback of one of the Most popular song of the '80's ...And what I'm seeing is the beautiful audience & faces of this concert ..WOW !!!
just like you said, how many satisfied people in audience, they expresse pure joy,very positively and very oposite of nowadays,and also in that years, massive drugs and ugly pervert histeries in concerts, that is the reason why The Simple Minds are so great,it's very rare group who declared good, healthy pure emotions like Principe. God Bless all positive people, let the Sun shines in our hearts.Greetings from Belgrade, Zana and Lazar
Awesome!! I just love this song. I always have. There is only one thing better than great Rock-n-Roll from back in the day...and that's when they throw in full orchestras!
Simply Magical!! It's just like to be there and at the same time living in the past when this song came up on the radio years ago. So many good memories, unforgettable. 👍
I'm an American traveling through Brazil, Rio de Janeiro in 2021 And heard this song on the beach. I'm fucking alive and kicking! Live your life people
I miss this music so much. Not too compressed, recorded with some dynamics, great songwriting, excellent production, etc... The 80's had some great music.
Brutal!!. He crecido con ésta y otras bandas : U2, Dire Straits, Marillion, Pink Floyd,, etc.. Y otra tan adictiva como Talk Talk. Años con música inolvidable que no volverán.
The thing with the 80s is there was that many good songs in the period so nothing was ever more special than another then when You look back 40 years You realise how really good they all were and what a phenomenal decade it was
To me one of the grastest voices i have ever heard . . . Simple minds my faves . . . Dayem!!! I wanna go back to the 80s again! His voice and this song still sends chills thru me! One of the best New Wave bands for sure. Great song. One of the best of the 80's of any genre.
Grandi artisti e ottimi interpreti di musica che ti regala una bella botta di vita ed energia. Vi ricordo quando sono andato a comprare il disco in vinile (LP) e l'emozione di ascoltarvi. Bravi !
I'm in this with you Tim...missing here the good ole' days when our music had real substance... and the late 70's thru the 80's was seminal...like bests from Bowie and U2 (both many times over), Simple Minds, Peter Gabriel... and so many others in the days...what part of Texas are you in sir? Dallas suburb here....
What a great music...Not the shit the sell now ! Poor generation now and how lucky we were to have those bands ! I am proud to be 45 now...! Makes me remind my young years and my trips to U.K when I was young...! Regards to all of you from France
Una de las canciones más emotivas de los 80. Un grupo y una música elegante para un público elegante . Ni punto de comparación con la música de estos tiempos obscuros que vivimos
yes….. we didn’t know back then what we were listening to…. now we see which songs and bands actually grew to greatness… and actually DEFINED the 80’s.

Love this song which I have not heard in years. One of my favourite bands and this song is gone straight to my favourites, Special thanks to Patti for sharing "
I was 7 years old when I first heard this and I was fascinated by it. 37 years later, it's one of my favorite songs of all time. The 80's were pure magic.
I love this song so much. My teeanage years were in the 80s. That song is so timeless. Compare it with today's music. You can still listen to this in 30 years.
When I saw the Minds, they were on their world "Once Upon A Time" tour...downunder! I went to the Second Gig at the Entertainment Centre, amid fears that Jim had lost his voice! Man, how wrong we were! He sounded fantastic, and they put on a GREAT show. Best show I've ever seen in fact! Love this song! ROCK ON!
Simple minds de las mejores bandas de los 80s la mejor década de música de todos los tiempos y a mi me tocó vivir esa década hermosa Jim Kerr excepcional
The radio edit album studio soundtrack is excellent, but this live in concert rendition/performance has a lot more going on. In the middle of the performance where it changes key and the chorus swells, the audience gets into it and the strings take off...... the orchestra starts flying....... i started getting a little weepy. It's so beautiful, my heart started swooning. It's another one of my unofficial anthems. Don't mind me. I'm just another knucklehead fanboy deluxe.
You hit it right on the head, Ty. GREAT version of this classic song! The melody is truly beautiful, and literally gives you the "goosies". LOL One of the GREAT 80's bands, and their music is STILL fantastic!
I'm so proud to be born and live in Antwerp. The concept of the Night of the proms with orchestra was born in Antwerp, which take place every year in the Antwerp sport palace, as substitute for the Antwerp Diamond Awards Festival, and now organised across Europe. (and USA)
volta sim , com certeza em outras vidas dimençôes . porque aqui nesse planta esta tudo estragado nem uma radio descente tem pra se ouvir . o que seria de nòis sem o youube .
No mobile phones & everybody enjoying the real music!! What a time it was for the great music. I’m 50 & those were the days 🙏🙏
SM ever and forever 👍
Maurizio,Rijeka Croatia
Ja,was für eine wunderschöne Zeit ❤❤❤
One of the most underrated bands from the 80s. One of the best playing live, by miles❤
Thought they were just another 80s band, liked their songs back then, nothing special. Boy, was I ever wrong. Glad to have the opportunity to catch up.
;)
I love when others appreciate really good music. Awesome for you. Introduce this music to others and you will pay it forward

I met a Girl today who grew up in the same town as these guys did in Scotland and knew them well as they journeyed to stardom.
I did and she also did
stardom not in the USA they had maybe 3 top 40 hits
