What a powerful performance of one of the greatest songs of the 80's. I always like the energy of this song.

Amazing... Times came everyone, but this guy , his voice.

Like a fine wine, getting better with age. Love it.

Kudos to that drummer If everyone had played with the same heart and passion as she did this would have been an excellent performance.

So beautiful to see Jim, Charlie, Cherisse, Berenice back live!!!…so Simple Minds❤️…

Mick e Derek ... 😍😍

I love when artists re-imagine/re-arrange hit songs! You can really hear the great melody and lyrics

Still an absolute classic.And still in great tune with the singing

Being surrounded by the sound of an orchestra is like when your mum comes and wraps you in a warm embrace. You feel safe even if you make a mistake.

One of the bands from my teen age . My ears and my soul, are very proud, eternally !!!!!!

Ahhh man, one of my all time favourite songs, a little shiver up my back, great drumming, great backing singer, great legs on the piano, great song, Jim & Charlie weren't bad 😉

That song has never sounded so good. :-)

I'm in tears here listening to this magical song. The orchestra adds to it. I'm so looking forward to the Dublin gig in April. Best band in the world 🌎 ❤

Oldies Goldie’s cannot get but better and better as years and new versions flow by… and if you add the BBC orchestra’s arrangements, they just skyrocket to the moon of musical quality! Fabulous! Cheers to Simple Minds!!🙌🙌👏👏👏

Awesome. Jim Kerr proves you don't need a huge ego to be a legend

They did some brilliant 👏 songs. This is the best, in my view. Still gives me goosebumps to this day & every day.

Absolutely beautiful live version! Simple Minds always reminds me of the movie Breakfast Club. This is music!

Absolutely brilliant.

The Vocal .. the bow kissing the violin .. The piano .. and the drum and back to the vocal .. perfection

Espetacular! Bons tempos, saudades época de ouro da música muito bem representada pelo Simple Minds!

Este tema en los 80 hacia explotar las disco... se acuerdan?.... era un extasis total.... eterna juventud....

Pure reinvention of a classic..this Is gold. They look like a current band not like an 80s relic band..SM Is Alive AND kicking.

Jim is still killing it ! Amazing . Love these guys … so good to hear them, and others of my generation ! Love the 80’s !

Remember seeing them at Milton Keynes Bowl in the eighties.They opened up with Waterfront. Brilliant .

Magic

Dang, this still rocks even after all the years. "love Simple Minds, still Alive and Kicking!

Absolutely stunning

Fantastic, they get better with age.

When I saw such a piece of art like that, my goosebumps made me believe in a better world.

Love this song in my high school days. Watching in the Philippines.

Sounds like no autotune, he seems singing with flaws and limits of his current voice ❤ takes courage

You're wonderfull!!!❤️

Brillant! ❤️

How many years have Simple Minds been reproducing their own songs? I enjoy every new variation like this one.

Wonderful session! LEGENDS!

Amazing song from a superb group .... beautifully performed !

C'è un tempo nella gioventù dove predominano l'esuberanza e la forza. Poi nella maturità vengono sostituite dall'armonia e la dolcezza. Una splendida versione di alive and kicking dei simple minds, accompagnati dall'Orchestra. Meravigliosi.

What a era

Il mio idolo, per sempre.

Gran pezzo dei simple minds
