Simple Minds Once Upon A Time - Alive and Kicking Isle of Wight (Then and Now 2009/2024)

Watch a 15 year difference, then and now, of Simple Minds performing Alive and Kicking at the Isle of Wight Festival 2009 & 2024.
Alive and Kicking is a popular and widely known track from 1985's Once Upon A Time album, also released as a single and performed often by the band throughout the years, and was popular for use as a soundtrack for TV sports programs and advertisements.
Once Upon A Time is quite fitting for this video, which not only offers up a 15 year transformation of the band, but also hankers back to the original release in 1985.
Same group (well, not quite), same song, same venue, different time.
2009 (Jim Kerr, Charlie Burchill, Mel Gaynor, Eddie Duffy, Andy Gillespie)
2024 (Jim Kerr, Charlie Burchill, Cherisse Osei, Ged Grimes, Gordy Goudie, Erik Ljunggren, Sarah Brown)

I prefer the 2024 version. Band seams tighter
