Likewise Hamhuntley!! Saw them in 1981 in Melbourne and till this day are the still the best live band in the world without a doubt!! See you in November for the "Celebrate" concert tour can't wait-26 hours in the plane is well worth it for a magical dose of "the Minds".
This is fantastic....after 30 years they are still the best live band around.Seen them 30 odd times now and looking forward to their UK tour in November...get there if u can you`ll love it if you like this !!
Its GOTTA be Gaynor on the traps - n JK displays he had it w/ that wail at 3:50 among many other things. Thanx so much for posting this fantastic vid.
Double shoot! I posted on two 'Sparkle in the Rain' entries (Up on the Catwalk and Speed Your Love to Me) that these were two of the greatest White Funk songs evewr- and I forgot (these guys can make your head swirl) this gem a year or so before.
jim n'a pas perdu la souplesse de ses jeunes années, lol. géant ! comme toujours il est au top pour son public. merci au simple minds pour leur incroyable musique qui me transporte à chaque fois.
I love this song! I hope to see Simple Minds in person one day! This is my favorite song of theirs by far.
I wish I was there in Italy... but I don't travel outside the states, and I didn't think they were touring. I looked on their official website, no tourdates scheduled, but I hope they do something in Los Angeles, California someday soon. I would make it.
Sure ! Best band ever !
See you soon, next sunday 18 july 2010 at WEX / Belgium :)))

A fantastic band performing an amazing song at one of the most picturesque sites on the planet. It just doesn't get better than this.
If you've never seen Taormina, google Taormina greek theater and see why no place would be better for a concert.
