Thanks for adding me......when I first listened to SM I was 22 years old battling the worst suicidal depression from a life of abuse. I had become extremely religious and was attracted to the cover of New Gold Dream. The songs were mystical, transcendent and I projected my own life into the music.......Sparkle in the Rain raised my consciousness...it gave me chills....out-of-body-experiences........I survived.... I earned three degrees and have worked in hospitals, taught public school 20 years...I think I am a pretty happy person today...6 years ago I found Graffiti Soul.......wow......a few months ago I came across Walk Between Worlds.....again its a life changing experience....Last Monday saw them for the first time!

It was so exciting and sexy to be young in the 80s.... in your twenties and living with a gorgeous nutter. Music like this forming the backdrop- no internet to mess with you. I miss the craziness.

Simple Minds, simply the BEST. Siete Grandiiii......🌹

I have followed simpleminds since I was a wee boy, the band is epic, timeless and never boring. They are still at the top of their game after all these years, what a band what a team, what epic music.

Simple Minds numero 1, Jim Kerr un'icona della musica ancora oggi e Cherisse Osei fantastica alla batteria.

I'm wordless..one of the best version ever played by this fantastic band...a new gold dream still needed since longtime..

LOVE it!!!! This band has followed me in my life since the 80's and finally, in February I will see them live in Copenhagen! Miraculous! I saw Cherisse Osei playing in the Bryan Ferry Avonmore tour - EXCELLENT! Wow!

È una di quelle poche canzoni che suona bene con qualsiasi arrangiamento. New gold dream il migliore album

Omg, what a great intro whith cherisse at the drums...love this version...love simple minds forever...

The guitar work of Charlie Burchill in this song is beautiful!

I was there that night and hearing the acoustic version again, it takes me back to The Live In The City of Light album. The version off that live album is still my favourite.

I've always loved the SM but I have to admire the decision of Jim, Charlie, and the SM production team to add three strong women artists into the band. The drummer, OMG!, and singer Sarah Brown really bring vitality into the already kick ass SM sound. I wish the red head wasn't stuck in the back corner and was more out front in this show; who plays keyboard, too, in other recent SM videos. Love how SM folds new artists' energies into the already great SM sound! +++++++++++++++++++++

She's called Catherine A.D. (The Anchoress). She's also sang with Manic Street Preachers, and is in the process of recording her 3rd album. Her album The Art of Loving, won many accolades.

I am a top fan of Minds since 1984, this song has always been my favorite, going to the acoustic concert in June in Dublin, can't wait plus hopefully that gorgeous Drummer will be there

Fantastic band. Very nice version. Good guitarist and nice drums. Thanks a lot

when Jim started to sing i thought.... omg ...forget ist... but then... amazing!

I just cant get enough of it.

I could hear this in an endless loop 🎉😊

Impresionante!

Come a long way boyz since, Glasgow Tiffanys in the 70's ;-)...I was there at the beginning!

Magnifica canción...❤️

absolutely nailed it.

Saw them in Cardiff on this tour and once again since also in Cardiff. Outstanding.

Beautiful Celtic vibe.

Love it. Fantastic.

Spettacolo!! Ci vediamo a Roma ad Aprile!!!!!

I’m building up the right mood for New year’s eve celebration and this is so f…king good! Love it!

AMAZING !!

Das ganze Konzert - great - SimpleMinds waren nie besser!

Very special concert. Jim Kerr employs black artists. 50 years ago I fought against apartheid. For my thanks, after being beaten by white racists, my Nigerian wife cheated our house. I lost my white Family.
