Simple Minds - Up On The Catwalk Live 1984

[robroseless]

I recorded this version from the radio on a blue scotch casette tape back in about the summer of 85.. I played it for many years.. This was the first time seeing the video..

It's funny cause it's almost like Deja vu..thanks for posting..cheers

[damcka]

probably the best live version I've heard. Charlie add some nice parts!

I saw this tour at the Hollywood Palldium..They sold it out so quick that they added a 2nd show which I saw as well.. This is their absolute peak as a band!!!

This was on the B side of the 45 mini LP release of Alive and Kicking. Released in the States in the fall of 1985. I remember it well. I used to play this live version in my dorm room in college, as often as I could. As loud as I could. Funny thing; in the next dorm building another guy used to play U2's New Years Day. Between the two of us, we had a great time. If there is a Heaven , then I hope this is one of the songs played there.

Awesome song

[Dhachia]

the keyboards have a cool and catchy phrase, but it's really the drums that make this such a tight song- which is actually due to the master of Funk, Herbie Hancock's work on New Gold Dreams, but they have someone sitting in on this vid. You'll remember him from his popular 80's track "Rock It."

[Pilluret]

I just love Simple Minds...!!!...Greatest band on earth...!!!

[ilpicchiatello]

BEST BAND EVER

[alainraes]

probably theyre most powerfull track

i remember that the album got slagged at the time for the poor mixing job that producer Steve

Lillywhite did

the keyboard work is the key to the simple minds

sound, its quite amazing the sound that they got from the jupiter 4 and obxa in their earlier work

live , checkout rockpalast live 1982 (their best gig video)

[ohthegaz]

ya know these guys are simply just fucking brilliant live...part of me thinks they should have been far MORE succesful than what they were....sounding like an old fart now asking this question..is it me?....but have these guys got more class in there little fingers when it comes to playing live than most top bands emerging today?....anyones comments would be appreciated...thanks again for the up and awesome job on the audio mate...cheers!!!

[faddy24]

Faultless...there is another video out there showing the same performance but the sound quality on this one is better... just great!!!

[Minordian]

The audio track was 'tricked' up in Cubase SX and T-Racks. The original mono audio was quite muddy.

peace.

[cadburyenglishman]

Thanks for tweaking it Minordian, share more videos please....peace

[plym1969]

@Minordian well done for being able to trick up the sound. You've done an amazing job.Much appreciated.

[875merc]

Brilliant. None of the bands today can match simple minds. still great after 30 years.

[ohthegaz]

awesome video...awesome performance...wish there were a few more bands emerging today could come out and play like these guys...thanks for posting.
