Jim looks a bit overwhelmed at the end of that. I think he realises that was one of the best performances of his life, fantastic!!! thanks so much for posting!
His voice sounds in my ears in the last 20 years (often) to much rasp, first i realised his more and more raspy voice after 1985, reminds me on ''bono'' from u2. Yeah bono is very good with his rasp voice, but not jim :p thank you for the upload and thanks also jim k. for this great performance.
what the hell!!! he can!! i thought jim can not sing really equal the early songs with the ''smooth'' voice from early years. If you dont know what i mean..you can found many examples from the last 20 years on youtube. But this here and now is fantastic! wow!
No its Michael,the guitarist,a TRUE Scotsman!!! John`s only half of one!!! How u doing?? Myself & John are still trying to recover from Edinburgh,they were Sparkling in the rain..WOT A NIGHT
Hi Micheal nice to meet you. Myself and John hung around with eachother Once in a while when i was about 10 years old....i haven't seen him in years...though i heard he was in a SM tribute band...hence me asking if you were john. So the gig is on aug 8th?? I'll have to come and see you guys. Tell john i was asking for him...oh paul is the name by the way. So how was the edinburgh gig...better than the cork one?....same set??
Big Sleep,an amazing track,on the greatest album ever written..play guitar with the tribute,Simply Minds,based in Cork.We all met the lads after this amazing show,dreams do come true..out of 44gigs,this is top 3!!! LEGENDS
I was fortunate to be at this concert and i will never foget it. They were absolutely brilliant. Their new album is excellent and i would rate simple minds as good as u2.
Thanks beaulauria, the quality of the vids are amazing, do you mind if I ask what make/model camera/camcorder you used, the images were very sharp and the sound outstanding
Simple Minds were awesome on the night, hard to believe it was 20 years since I last saw them and they are just as good as they were back then!!
Thank you so so much for one of the very best recordings we've seen of Mr Kerr and we've seen a few. The man's a legend! His voice on this gave me goose bumps!!
What a gig - truely awesome! I was there and wasn't that far away from the stage either. It was a night that could be stuck in a frame and hung on the wall.
shit i missed it

It's 28 years since this magnificent track made its appearance on NGD and it's never lost it. Truly a classic.
