Best Female drummer in the world….Cherisse , keeping them tight….she’s an absolute star in her own right….and deserves all the credit she gets …..👍🤘👌🇮🇲
What a band !!! Love this band !! Have followed them since early 80's. Vinyl, Cassettes, CD's Over 40 years !! 🤦♂️ Saw them at Oasis Swindon, brilliant !!
And then computers, autotune and self promotion on the internet and social media took over, so that real talent couldn't rise to the top as it was lost in all the digitally processed dros.
As a teenager my 1st Simple Minds gig was in 1981 at The Odeon, Birmingham UK with Australian band Icehouse supporting....everytour since have been truly amazing experiences & I've always felt Cherisse Osei has added a new dimension to the band for sure - just when you think things can't get any better, SM raise the bar with incredible live shows - in particular on the current World tour - Jim , Charlie & the band are best I've ever seen them!! - the live version of Belfast Child is so beautiful 😢❤....I remember John Foxx saying that Jim Kerr is one of best song writers the UK has ever had 👍
Chills. He said the same thing when I saw Simple Minds last month in the gorgeous Generalife Gardens in Granada. Asking for the lights to be turned on so he could see the audience, as excited and appreciative as we were. That concert and its energy were positively magical. Simple Minds is and has always been brilliant. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
The night of May 9th, 1986, at the Starlight Theater in Kansas City, Missouri, is etched in my memory. The evening began with the electrifying performance of The Call, a band that truly deserves more recognition. But it was the headliners who stole the show, delivering a concert that remains one of my all-time favorites. The energy, the music, the atmosphere-it was an unforgettable experience that still resonates with me today.
A friend included this song on a mix tape and essentially made me look into SM leading to me becoming a fan. The next week I picked up Street Fighting Years and the hooks were in.
OMG!! I feel the vibes coming through the screen!! SO f'ing great! I'm 69 yrs old and remember me and my buds jamming out to the early SM songs. They remain one of my top 10 bands from the old days. ☮🤟☮🤟☮
Excelent performers, I was deeply impressed when I saw them, this summer, after seeing AC/DC and the Scorpions, wich I loved, I had the time of my life at their concert, Simple Minds!!! So great❣️

La voce di Jim Kerr e' meravigliosa e tutto il gruppo e' grandioso. Questa performance di Alive and Kicking e' la piu' bella di questo tour. Semplicemente stupenda! Grazie di tutte le emozioni che ci avete dato. ❤
You guys got me through the best years of my life. You Promised Us a Miracle and you delivered and continue to even 40 years later. God I love Simple Minds.
MOST AWESOME!!! It is GREAT to know that Simple Minds are still indeed Alive & Kicking!!! Wish I could have been there ~ my sincerest thanks to Simple Minds for still sharing those kick-ass vibes... nothing but RESPECT! 👊
My time. Good Music, great Groups. Union and simultaneous joys of various cultures, it was fantastic to see this mass of Humanity that these phenomenal Groups provided. It is the opposite of current times.
My favourite as a teenager in the 80s and I still think they are brilliant to this day. Saw them in Leeds recently for the first time. Magnificent Simple Minds ❤❤
Simple minds, still alive and kicking! 🤘🙏 love them! ❤
Damn straight. Still got it ♥

Incredible live performance... and talk about sharing the spotlight...amazing!!
I saw them live 30 years ago, and they are still one of the biggest bands
Great band. This is the 80s I remember. Makes me reminisce for the old days. What an era for great music
I am 62, my favorite band since 1982 !
It's not a song, it's a hymn
All these years later, they still sound fantastic!
Best Female drummer in the world….Cherisse , keeping them tight….she’s an absolute star in her own right….and deserves all the credit she gets …..👍🤘👌🇮🇲

1985 was calling me and I went back for 6:32 seconds.Bravo
Legendary band. Simple Minds forever 😊
Sends shivers down my spine watching this.
I remember buying this album and playing it while I was kayaking in Fiji in 1985.
What a terrific sound.
Jim Kerr.......perfect🎉
God how the UK produced incredible music bands in the 80s.
And so it did too.
And then computers, autotune and self promotion on the internet and social media took over, so that real talent couldn't rise to the top as it was lost in all the digitally processed dros.
@@markpalmer8083 you are so right there too alas of course.
Yes
Ex Yu also too
This and don’t you forget about me goosebumps every time carnt beat the classics xx
Pure Goosebumps, Yesss 🌟✨
You are so right too. Their two 1985 singles are their best live ones too. Truly great of course too.
I'm getting my front row Florida seat ready for the Festival!
