In tears through the entire performance. This band got me through my troubled high school years. I will never forget you guys or your impact on a shy, misfit teen. Thank you!
They still sound fantastic . !!! Who's loving simple minds in 2020... edit.. mid 2021 , now its 2022 still loving simple minds. (Always will) This music will never grow old. I pray with all this covid those that see this will get to listen in 2023 and beyond. ❤
What a great performance, what a special moment when Jim talks emotionaly touched about the losses in their families and the dedicated song to all of them.
40 years in the game and still as authentic as ever..!! Jim a top front man in a living room or on stage in front of 30,000... Wish I could've been there...
From playing mega stadiums to that wee room but Jim and co give it 100% every time they play. Best band ever. Didn't realise Jim's brother was so talented either. They can come and play in my living room any time they like. 🤩🤩
Fantastic footage of a classic band, how cool is Charlie on guitar!! And as for Jim he still got it after all those years! One of my all time favourite bands :-)

IM just a boy from Texas that LOOOVES Simple minds, please come to America!!!! love the way he said Lou Reed influenced them, and the doors.....I knew this was a band of substance so looooong ago and still is,...
Aww they're amazing. Especially live.. I'm in Glasgow so I was lucky enough to see them but that was back in 2002 when I was 22..would love to see them again.. They're from Toryglen which is about 5mikes from me. x
Most bands you go and see are just entertainment, but simple minds always feel like a real treat, that was a really nice little set, special. And they are such warm amazing guys to watch, not ashamed to say honest town choked me up a tad, knowing what it was actually about. Cant wait for there tour.
Alive and kicking brought me to tears I have danced around my bedroom to this so touched by this and I love the stories Jim told about their parents I love them so very much God bless xxxxxxxxxx
wow wish I could have been at that gig! Fabulous band, creative, exciting and dramatic compared to those of their contemporaries at the time. They have brought a lot of enjoyment to many people that they will never meet or ever know about. Love em!
Great down to earth people who bring a magic to any event from this small venue to the largest stadium real sound Scottish folk thanks for posting this
Bijna 45 jaar de Simple Minds. Wat een geweldige band. Vanaf het begin ben ik fan. Een van de beste bands ever. Nog steeds geen slijtage. Verleden jaar in Carre in Amsterdam waren zij ook geweldig. Geniaal.
Thank you so much. This is great. I am listen SM since 30 years and almost every day! I like to see all videos from them and any special things. Such a concert like this one is a nice present. Thank youuuuu
This is brilliant! In all the years I have followed Simple Minds this is the first time I have heard an acoustic version of The American and just how good was that???
Fantastic, would be great if they did some kind of tour in small venues and of course acoustic, just seen them in Edinburgh last month bloody brilliant 👏
Being away from Glasgow like these boys can be hard at times. But once a " Weigie" always a "Weigie". You can feel the emotion in Honest town because its so encapsulates Glasgow and it people. Lang may your lum reek!
Generally not a huge fan of 'major rock band does an acoustic set' - however it has to be said that SM doing something acoustic has been long overdue and this was absolutely top drawer stuff. Hearing Charlie playing acoustic again was delightful, Jims vocals sounded better than ever and kudos to him for getting through Honest Town, I had to reach for a hanky myself. Wonderfully intimate venue, some really lucky folks in the audience. To the guy who called for 'I Travel' for the last acoustic song, haha now theres a challenge and a half!
I’ve seen this video several times . I still believe that the public there didn’t completely realize how privileged they were on this particular day .
I was wondering that myself, although looking at the ages of the audience, there may be a few that did.
after 53 years I have realised that Simple Minds are the only band that makes me cry when i listen to their music - well done guys!
In tears through the entire performance.
This band got me through my troubled high school years.
I will never forget you guys or your impact on a shy, misfit teen.
Thank you!
how pure, small is the new big. Only two guitars and the comforting voice of jim. I am impressed
Banda perfeita tempos aureos.saudades....

I DO . Simple Minds forever🙏
@@elizabethclemens7037 absolutely.

I love this amazing band! Always have and always will. Just a fantastic humble group of extremely talented guys! Jim Kerr sounds wonderful!

You and me both....

Alive and Kicking is a fucking classic!! The most underrated song of all time for me.
I think it too
What an intimate setting for such a huge band. Wish I was there.

Jim it's ok to get emotional Mr . We love you .. tx for all the awsome music through the years 💃❤
Wow I got goosebumps, wish I'd been there for this intimate gig. Absolute gem
If this gig doesn't confirm our love and need for music, nothing will.
Always loved this band. Superb.
Honest Town up there with Mother Glasgow and with the story behind it brings an equal tear to your eye, superb Jim, Charlie and Mark.
I love Scottish people. they are so warm, so funny, so charming! simple minds rule!
Unplugged and live there is no hiding place ! Brilliant Scottish talent - I was at their NG Dream tour gig in Dundee in 84. It was unforgettable.
timeless. still one of the best bands i ever saw live.
It is an absolute delight to watch this wonderful and poignant acoustic performance by the legends that are Simple Minds.
30 years a fan and seen them all over the world , please guys would love to see a unplugged tour ! This was excellent
Jim and Charlie are just geniuses
Now that was just brilliant, period!
Stadium rock in acoustic form, absolute magic, thanks to all who made this possible.

Good to see they played something old.
First few albums remain the best.
Sooo good....The Ameri-ameri-american is the winner for me!! Takes me back to when I was 17 listening to cassettes in my bedroom..thanks guys!
God bless all our Moms and Dads wherever they may be!
Thanks to these three knights from Glasgow!!!
What a wonderful performance, a privilege to hear the songs stripped back. Thank you Simple Minds ❤
What an extravagant sympathetic gig. And so good.
Brilliant.
Special, touching words from Jim about his, Charlies and all our parents.
Love the new album
Cheers boys, never stop playing for us.
wow wish I could have been at that gig! Fabulous band, creative, exciting and dramatic compared to those of their contemporaries at the time. They have brought a lot of enjoyment to many people that they will never meet or ever know about. Love em!
What a brilliant band
Simple Minds absolute legends. Loved them from the beginning. Wished I had lived in Scotland during this time but was miles away in South Africa.
fantastic and very intimate. loved this.
I'm always bowled over by johns effort to get the minds to his place .. massive respect 🙏❤️
Possibly the best half hour I've ever spent on You Tube.

Can you imagine what being in that room was like? OMG
Just demonstrates how talented this band is... not that anyone needed reminding!
I can never get bored of hearing jims voice ,just quality

Bijna 45 jaar de Simple Minds. Wat een geweldige band. Vanaf het begin ben ik fan. Een van de beste bands ever. Nog steeds geen slijtage.
Verleden jaar in Carre in Amsterdam waren zij ook geweldig. Geniaal.

Grande Simple minds, anos 80 , minha adolescência e juventude, muito bom, saudades.
What a brilliant performance
first time i saw simple minds was milton keynes bowl 86. blistering hot day and an amazing line up including the bangles, the cult and a few others.
Very cool! Without YT I would never see this stuff.
WoW!!!!!!, I hope see and hear you again in Spain. Such a pleasure
Honest town is beautiful great melody as usual!
Wish I could've been there. Awesome - SM should release an entire album of acoustic hits.
Just brilliant 😁

This was it. What the acoustic album should have been. extraordinary.
A fine example of how great musicians can sound colourful and emprevisiational is that a word u no what I mean in a relaxed environment

mmmh🤗 amazing persons unparalelled musicians❤
II knew that I heard the Doors influence in their 1980's beginnings!
Amazing. Not sure this audience realise (or appreciate) what that are witnessing.
Nathan Young I bet you they do Nathan.
Great band, The Minds.
Love it!
'' Here come the wake shake the speed decade wake '' so moving :')
