  • Found this as I transfer old 70s&80s VHS to my Mac. Can see a few of the songs online but not 17mins. Apologies if it exists already. Classic Jim and the band.

    I really dig Simple Minds early stuff. Especially Derek Forbes on the bass.

    Kings of New & Cold Wave , intouchable from 1979 to 1984. Best Band of The 80s

    Just so raw and brilliant. I saw them at Glasgow Uni in 1978, what a great night. When we were all youngsters, life was edgy and exciting. Getting the train in to the ‘Toon’ from East Kilbride, with no idea how we’d get back home.
    It didn’t matter then.

    So cool. I remember convincing the bouncer at the Hacienda I was 18 to see these guys so that must have been 1981. Their heyday. Truly amazing band. So original.

    You can really hear the Howard Devoto/Magazine influence this early on.

    Nerve and nerve
    This coastline swerves
    To a city that they live on
    I walk on by
    Animals cry
    To a city that they live on
    To a city that they walk on
    To a city that they live on
    Pulse, pulse, pulse
    Feel
    Pulse, pulse, pulse
    This train is late, I hesitate
    To a city that they live on
    Dance the dance of violence
    To a city that they live on
    To a city that they crawl on
    To a city that they live on
    Pulse, pulse, pulse
    Feel
    Pulse, pulse, pulse
    City that they live on
    Feel
    To a city that they crawl on
    City that they live on
    Feel
    City that they crawl on
    To a city live on
    Feel
    City that they crawl on

    To think that just 3 years later they were playing Waterfront. I don't know if any other band has undergone such a seismic change in such a short space of time.

    Big wow. Just one or two years before their great breakthrough with their sublime Empires and Dance, Sons and Fascination and New Gold Dream era. That's when their GREAT TIMES happened.
    I was with them play four times playing live in 1983 and 1984. Great times. Thanks Alan for this unique upload of 17'01 minutes of a great band live just before their prime!

      young and learning and clunky- but still creating magic, laying the foundation for future anthems style. And they were hotties in this era too LoL.
