wonderful work, breathtaking quality, the sonds from the keyboards are staggering ... when i saw the minds in '89, they were supported by a band called the silencers, and Jim sang a track in the silencers set, and despite not having a microphone, he was actually clearer than the frontman of the silencers!!.. every member of the band are legends!!
I don't know how many times I have posted on this video... but every time I see it I feel the urge... awesome! Mr Burchill is a guitar hero... cheers from Costa Rica
@okinowa1945 With out a doubt the most underrated and gifted guitar player in the world at least IMO. I would love to be able to find more S.M. guitar tabs just to try to cover their songs here in the country... sadly no tabs...
How can a song, which IMO, sounds poor on the original recording of Sparkle In The Rain, be made an absolute masterpiece when played Live. Same with Book Of Brilliant Things too.
@dunning1977 This is in absolute my favourite song from Simple Minds,i love the live edit,but i disagree on the album edit,it's awesome.Yet tastes are tastes.
Original version of this song is poor, but the live version is much better.. especially the one on Live In The City Of Lights album. Also cannot stand the original of Book of Brilliant Things either, but the live version... sensational !!!
@WalshNo5 I would not say I can't stand them, though book of brilliant things is quite weak, but overall I agree with you this son soars high live... all the versions are different, if slightly, and have a life of their own. East at easter is probably my favourite live song.
