Mel Gaynor, one of the most underrated drummers of all time!
IIRC, this performance in Wembley Stadium was in either June or July of 1989. Mel Gaynor quit the band (but he came back a couple of times later, of course) at the end of that summer.
2024. I'm 78 and just getting acquainted with this band. How the hell did I miss them? Superb.
😊 Had A Chance to see Them At The Palace in Hollywood Back In The 80s!!!!! It Was STELLAR! Im 67 Her In 2024 June
One off the best bands What the acieved in the studio they could do it live
❤❤❤❤
Are you for real
An amazing reminder of two things.: The genius in music back then......... and the lack of it today!
Well said. The cacophony that is touted as "music" these days makes me count my blessings that I grew up when Bob Marley, Paul Simon, Neil Diamond were at their best. Sting was great too, with The Police and when they, as a unit, called it a day. These days I see no creativity -- not in the rendition and not in the lyrics.
This band was so ahead of its time. And this song broke all the barriers. Timeless and Magnificent. So many bands come and go because they don't have what it takes. But Simple Minds will be played decades from now.
❤❤❤
I was at this gig, and it was one of the best nights of my life.
YOU LUCKY DEVIL!!!!!🤪🤪🤪🤪👍👍😆😆😆🎼🎼🎼
I always get goosebumps when I hear this song. Uuuuuuuuuh ...
Same here.
I am Belgian with Celtic Roots ! Love this song ! Goose bumps ! Marleen from Belgium
I get goosebumps when i listen too!
Song from the Heavens, who’s listening in April 2020
Yohwan Kim The best music I’ve ever heard
UU
Going to see them in Liverpool this year
Still listening, August 2020, from Coastal South Carolina
Simple Minds Forever
me too
Grew up with this music. I was a teenager then. Still listening in 2020
So lucky I got to see this tour at the old Wembley.. Watching this again in 2021.. great memories and what a live performance of a great song.. Personally this was my favourite line up of the band.. How about getting this lot back together.. just one last time..
simple minds greatest tour
Just...just....just...sheer emotion. What a fucking band. If it doesn't get you THERE, pump your chest, then your heartless. Masters of their game.
Went to my first Simple Minds concert in Glasgow in 1985, have been to too many to remember in between a dream coming true in seeing them in Verona in 2022, lucky enough to have met Jim and he said to come to Verona. A great man and an awesome band, true visionaries and a class act.
Mel Gaynor,e assolutamente uno dei migliori batteristi al mondo ❤❤❤❤❤!!!!
English through & through however a wonderful song for my celt brethren - I adore you my Belfast Child
Great clip, great music, great band! SIMPLE MINDS!
Still makes me goosebumps. Big ones.
From gigging in the Mars Bar club in Glasgow, I saw them play in Dundee, just after Chelsea Girl. Then met them in St Andrews Uni. Always knew they were going to be big! Understatement.
And at 7.25 the man goes yer
A crashing beat and the translike reworked melody from the 1900's begin
Strings, drums, guitars, piano, bass - on one knows what it is like unless you are there. Rooted to the floor but dancing in fear that you miss something. Senses energized.
Jimmy Page? Jimmy Hendrix? No it's Charlie Burchill with the most rock-star unlike rockstar guitar solo. It could go on and on like endless heaven
People in their own little world have their eyes shut, next to them others magnetised by the music sucking in every moment with eyes wide open.
Simple Minds are a paradox of everything paradoxical
As Micks keyboards come in (8.45) this is the point I have seen grown men cry to the power of music.
So come back Billy. The REAL emotion starts now. And the girls are crying and Mel's off beat drum is sends you wild.
Then it gets epic as the man sings Flesh and Blood.
10.06 it happens. Brian Clough said it only takes a second to score a goal. In one second a note on the keyboard changes you, others hear it and feel it the same with echoes of another off a drum beat, the endless Burchill and Germano rhythmn. Standing in front of the stage it is like a thunderbolt from a beautiful explosion of sound.
The streets are cold, tearts run down yet another German's face in the summer sun.
And your fathers calling. The man sings you into the end of the trance.
Everything good and bad in your life is now lost. You are gone. The streets ARE empty, Its like an alien abduction with everyone knowing they are leaving the planet without a care for their world.
And then its over - until the next concert. My life started when I heard Love Song at the age of 10. Eight years later life didnt stop in 89 for music, travel and exploration - life started - it opened doors and sewed seeds for the future.
Life listening to the radio is nothing compared to being there, getting lost in a strange city for the purpose of getting lost in music.
And the guitarist transcends reality. Great sound.
Just WOW! nothing else to say.
Love the intro of"Soul crying out"😍"Belfast Child",beau-ti-ful song...great video, amazing performance,best line up!see you 20/04/'21 in Antwerp,Belgium guys!❤❤🎵🎶🎤🎸🎹🥁🎻🔝

magic
One of the best songs ever ! Marleen from Belgium
🇧🇪✌🏻🔥
❤ easily one of the better snag/renditions of She Moves through The Fair.
It's such an old song and melody, but they did make ot their own. Respect.
😊❤😊
🥰🥰🥰love this ...allways did..Best band ever and much underated
Great times magic music
What a beauty.....music and images....great memories!!!
Sorry guys, the start of the video is not Belfast Child; it is from Soul Crying Out, one of the most overlooked songs by Simple Minds. But Belfast Child is really stunning!! However, Belfast Child is the Simple Minds' version of the ancient, gaelic tune from Ireland "She moved through the fair" (which is absolutely brilliant, especially when played with Middle-Ages instruments, as in the case of Loreena McKennitt, or sung by wonderful voices like Sinead O'Connor). Jarkaruus M: unfortunately, you're quite right!!
Soul crying out is appropriate because I am sure victims/ and their families of " the troubles " would want to ensure no other family goes through what they went though
Mel always been brilliant...hope your well brother..
Mother mary loves us and we love u22
Gänsehaut pur ! Einfach toll...!
Best Rock folk synth pop band ever on God's earth okay. Fin
Quando eu falo que vivi o melhor do Rock, estou me referindo à isso: Simple Minds arrasando e ao vivo. Espetacular!!!
Verdade época Boa não consigo pra de houvir
Beautiful! Love the intro from Soul Crying Out :-)
Un groupe mythique comme il n' y en excitera plus, tout ma jeunesse, toute ma colère, ils avaient tout pour me plaire, je ne les oublierai jamais!
don't forget Belgium, which opened its arms to you from the start! please :(
Incredible
This song is magic ...remember my life GREEN
Simple minds Belfast child live

I absolute LOVE Mel Gaynor's double-bass pedals at 9:55!!! ROX ASS!!!!!
Sublime los amo por siempre la mejor banda alice de argentina
This song is so beautyful.......i am happy that i was born in the 70ths and see all those concerts in the 80ths and 90ths....the best time ever.....!!!
You Lucky Bastard! ;)
Jealous as hell😶🌫️
Was born in 85 and was 11 when Bowie had his best live performance (1. Outside album)…
Missed out not only Simple Minds but It kicks to smarts to realize I was alive but missed it..
I would have even settled for the Hours album tour.
Talk about feeling ignorant and foolish..
I was never more impressed by a live performance than when I saw Danny Elfman, Bowie or Simple Minds.
Jim Kerr doesn’t have the passion/charisma etc that he did back in the day. So although he is alive, sigh..
Bowie was better live but obviously can’t see that.
Danny Elfman is 75, so, better get some tickets ; )
That Makes 2 of Us! My Good Friend! Was Born in 1957! Have Seen SOME BRILLIANT ARTIST,!! And SO THANKFUL,!!🤪😆😬👍👍🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️❤️
Me too first saw them 33 years ago, one of the best live bands ever
God loves us and simple minds and u22
Spine tingling performance.
superb
If I had a Time Machine, that's the kind of show i'll watch
About as good as it gets, I'd say.
Peace in Irlanda, Peace of word.
BIG MUSIC
Prelepa irska muzika koju obozavam

Over 250,000 views and only 1.4k likes.. Beautiful song..
Existe banda boa, e existe SIMPLE MINDS
Maybe this beautiful song should be renamed "Middel Eastern Child"?
My heart bleeds for the children of both Gaza and Israel. Your comment is very touching indeed.
My heart bleeds... but shut up.

He is the best ever 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
South Londoner
Charlie Burchill is fantastic
So unique. One note, and you know it's Charlie.
Life gets better when I hear songs like this wow youhooooo!
They were probably the best live band around at this time of their career.
Absolutely brilliant 👏
Saw Motley Crue live this year and just saw one of the last live videos from SM. Jim Kerr has all my respect. Probably the best vocalist out there. Most of the others either cash in worldwide tours when they can not even sing their songs anymore. No respect from their fans really. Going to see SM in Dublin in March 2024. I am looking forward to that.
One of the greatest Videos , Simple minds at their Best, if your a Celt it the hairs on your body stand up, Great rock music
I'm not a Celt... I'm English .... they have a large following down here too..
I am Celt. Co. Cork.
I have Tickets for Verona this year , I have waited 30 years for this 😊😊😊😊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@iainchesterman5474 wishing you a great summer Iain.
Im not even Irish! And this song gives me chills! Just so beautiful i feel connected to Ireland 🇮🇪 💕 ❤ 👌😢👍
I love this Genial Song and Singer!👍💜
The Drummer Woooow!!
One of my favorit songs from the last 80s
This is..and always has been an amazing song. Bought it as soon as it came out in 1989.

Born in Nijmegen, but love the song also
Born in Poland and love this song too
Born in Liverpool & love this song too.
Top of their fucking game! Best band in the world at that moment.
No doubt about that
One of my favourite songs of all time. Haunting, provocative and brilliant.
The Simple Minds "Rattle N Hum"
It's an incredible song written with true meanings, bloody powerful and still is
epic!
This is so good! The whole record is an absolute masterpiece. So out-of-the-box, so brave, so creative...
And it was the time where you always got something extra (special live versions) from the great bands, when you heard them live.
Nowadays, 90% of the bands invest a lot of time and money to make it sound exactly like the record.
So glad this band existed! thanks Simple Minds.
They still exist???
A GREAT CELT BAND / MUSIC !
they ve been /are touring europe at the moment !
Great performance but tell you what, that Tambourine steals the show!
Attuale più che mai oggi.
"I bambini torneranno a cantare" anche sta volta.
Noi vinceremo contro le tenebre e torneremo a cantare.
🙏❤️☀️
Best line up ever
