I'm fighting terminal cancer and that song says so much about not giving in and gives me a determination to make it through no matter how long I may have left. 11/10 Simple Minds...
Peter I just saw your comment while dealing with a serious medical condition that prevents me eating and often drnkibg nearly dying a few weeks ago. I wish you the very best and God Bless you.
This song brings so many memorable times with my ex, who is no longer part of my life, but when I hear it now, I get crushed with emotion, raise a glass and pray she is well. It takes two and wasn't meant to be. Now, I want to create new memories while listening to this song and get the strength it always has given me and a simple mind.
It was a cold rainy november day in 1985. I was sitting by the large window in a coin laundry waiting on the wash. This song was playing rather loud on a radio. I was thinking about the beauty I was going to pick up around 7:00. I thought to myself "This is my soundtrack!"
Such an amazing song. This song popped up on UA-cam music. Usually it pisses me off they do that when I'm listening to my music. But in this case I was very happy. Such a great song. The writing, playing and production. At 57 I can still move my neck!
I sang this song karaoke, in front of a couple of hundred of Brits in Algarve, Portugal in 1997 and the feedback was amazing. This song is very, very dear to me. /Simple Minds FC/Stockholm, Sweden
Dedicated to my son he was born 32 years ago and he is today a big fun of Simple Minds ...too ! It's for the same reason that Jim Kerr has written this song for his child ! SIMPLE...We love you Jim.
I listen to Alive and Kicking everyday, love all the different versions from the peerless Robin Clark, Annie McCaig and Sarah Brown. Simple Minds at their finest. My Karaoke song :)
Charlie Burchill makes such beautiful sounds. He makes me want more. People feel elated and inspired, that is why we sing and dance. If you had ever been to a Simple Minds concert you would understand.
Mel Gaynor pulling that monstrous string of 32nd note triplets on the snare leading into the outro Chorus just propels it to the finish. He gave them the sound they needed to define them as a big performance band- without a doubt!
I never realized just how much i REALLY LOVE THIS GROUP until i found this concert. Such VIVID MEMORIES ! Such an AMAZING GROUP. Thanks for posting this ! I'm gonna go into my mind for a while and listen to DON'T YOU FORGET ABOUT ME. Probably watch The Breakfast Club Soon.
So true! I've been lucky enough to see them a few times and it's always the same interaction. I saw Guns 'n Roses a couple of years ago (admittedly not at their peak) and there was no interaction at all, particularly from Axl. He looked bored and was only there for the paycheck. Jim and crew are the genuine article and clearly enjoy what they do and don't take their audience for granted.
Thank you for putting up the complete concert - Mondays will never be the same again waiting for the next upload. Hope you release this officially on blu-ray now.
+jtlampsu2 maybe they will film one of the arena shows and release that instead? Hope to see the Big Music tour on blu ray 5.1 regardless of where it was filmed.
Oh one of my all time favs.. Please play this too at DOTG Leaconfield wines Adelaide! I have front row tickets!! first saw simple minds in 1982 here in adelaide

Music that speaks to the soul
Absolutely Spectacular

It's a great song that takes me back to the 80s

I'm with you, songs like this one means so much to some people. I hope you create the best memories yet to come and God bless.
@michaelmendoza9214 thank you for your kind, meaningful words. I am grateful and will do my best to achieve the quest.
It's amazing that this bands' music sounds better live, than in studio
The best song from the Simple minds... for ever the simple minds.
It was a cold rainy november day in 1985. I was sitting by the large window in a coin laundry waiting on the wash. This song was playing rather loud on a radio. I was thinking about the beauty I was going to pick up around 7:00. I thought to myself "This is my soundtrack!"
This music is amazing, forever !!!
This song got me through some very, very dark days in the mid eighties. It’s the anthem I go to when things are tough . Like today.
My god I thought I was the only one. Don't think I'd still be around if this song hadn't been around to lift me up when I was down.
I agree got me through some rough time and im still alive and kicking.
A trick: you can watch movies on flixzone. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies lately.
@Daxton Johan Definitely, I've been watching on flixzone for years myself :D
@@danielgareau2836 it’s become my lockdown anthem too .
The grate song from my childhood in the 80,s!
Alive and kicking in 2019!

Still need to go to a Simple Minds concert before it is too late. Going to start a bucket list and this is on it.
Thx UA-cam and Simple Minds!
I'm going to see them in November this year, in Orlando, FL. I can't wait.
I wanna go too
One of the most beautiful songs
Alive and kicking in 2019!

The older you get - the more it means.
Dedicated to my son he was born 32 years ago and he is today a big fun of Simple Minds ...too ! It's for the same reason that Jim Kerr has written this song for his child !

His voice always had a similarly to bonos. Like Bono in the 80s. You know back in the day. In my opinion at least! I love his voice!

Love when they include the audience! Brilliant band! Saw you guys a few times in Toronto! ♥️
That's when you know you got REAL fans!
