FANTASTIC TOP BAND TOP TUNE NUF SED

[sophosyne]

Bowiedavidziggy is not completely off mark, Kerrs otherwise fluent moves looks stodgy (compare to say One Step Closer @ Orense 04) Personally all the waving and smiling is a nuisance. As for the arrangement, there's nothing to complain about; albeit Kerrs voice is somewhat out of tune in places, and he has difficulty hitting the high notes. But the guy's 50 dammit.

[MrPip59]

nice 1 ollix iwas there and this is my best reminder of that nite

[franckmilo62]

I lov this song forever.

Tk U !

[rmzidann]

To bowiedavidziggy:

Listen to Graffiti Soul and then you would not say such nonsense and spew such subject crap. Bowie would have killed for an album like Graffiti Soul when he was 50..heck when he was even 25. These guys were great till Once Upon a Time and then some of Good News was good, Cry was better, Black and White was better than Cry and Graffiti Soul is as good as NGD or Sparkle in the Rain! Talent is not bound by age. You outta have figured that one out a long time ago.

[nickgratton1]

i saw simple minds play milton keynes bowl 1985 height of their fame best thing i ever saw to this day! fantastic

[hobdinobdibonk]

bowiedavidziggy are you mad man they were big late eighties and never stopped or broke up , i was there and the performance was betters than all bands now a days . They were playing stadiums in 89 not 82 your knowledge is embarrassing

[theblade66]

Fuck I would love to see them. Come to Melbourne

[peppiacere]

intramontabili..musica di altri tempi...

[GnaoGatto]

@peppiacere

ahahaha, grandissimo alias, complimenti mi hai fatto troppo ridere :-))))



[waheex]

synth is not as good on this. Im assuming those are workstations, not quite the same as Jupiter 8 and OBX

IMO

[SPXclothing]

81, 82, 83, eighty four........!!!

[bowiedavidziggy]

This really is cringeworthy. Kerr and Burchill look like a couple of drunks at a wedding. COmpare this performance to the ORS 83 one also on this page - incomparable - some people have the grace to disappear without ruining the memories (eg Bowie) - others come back like Magazine and we ask ourselves why it took them so long. These guys once had the artistically credible world at their feet - once, ie. 1982. Stop embarrassing yourselves lads.

[davyjones800]

Iv heard this song live twice, once in 2008 and 2009, and I can tell you Jim's voice has lost NOTHING!

[kiwijohn01]

Personally I think the bass levels were too low in this concert - the bass is the key to the start of this song in my humble opinion. Derek Forbes' bass lines were genius!

[Spiboy]

I agree they've changed the dynamics of their earlier sound by replacing much of Mick's brilliant live keyboard sound with guitar parts and have moved the bass way in the background while trying to bring JK's n vocals more up front..... I saw them 10 or 12 times for 82-83 and personally I find the recent versions of their back catalog forced and uninspired almost as if going through the motions whereas their new stuff seems really tight.....

[gqf22g]

Great band always loved them...i was at that concert..shit hot i must say but then they always were.......support by Deacon Blue they were also great.

[HHelenR]

Jim's "all along the way"s gives me the chills!!:-)

[pawnsacrifice1]

I love SM but Jim Kerr is dad dancing

[dominizzl3]

i am a dad and will be rockin tonite at the MEN with my missus and kids what a band rock on

[jordanshark]

[SimpleMinds13]

FANTASTIC!

The lives of New Gold Dream are always fantastic!

[p262shp]

[MrPip59]

i loved this gig so much....took my girlfriend....and now ive to go without her .......jessica i love you

[hipmatize]

Still pretty f'in good.

[xxxASSIxxx001]

I don´t know - I never heard it like this before. There was something missing I think.

[bsr7]

u no this gig was stunning pip59

[molokaicreeper]

I am one of Simple Minds biggest fans. I must say that the modern live appearances of the oldies have been pretty good. Except for New Gold Dream, I must admit. Although with a lovely voice still, Jim's voice for this song is weaker than it used to be, compared to the baritone almost tenor type of voice he used to have. Still it is nice to see them performing like energetic teenagers otherwise :)

[aldigau]

maybe you meant tenor almost baritone!:) I was present at this concert and others recently, I think that youtube takes a lot away from this truly energetic live version, but yes more musically than in Jim's voice. In any case impossible not to dance and jump like hell!

[James9099abc]

Love Charlie's guitar from 4:02 !!!!!!!!!!

[RINGxOFxFIRE]

Can't wait until 17th July, Blickley Hall Norwich - come on!!!

[ruttmar]

Went to this gig they were brill Deacon Blue were also very good

[nibblitz]

Open Your Mind, Open Your Mind, Open Your mind...

lol

[ggh7664]

There are great songs and then there are timeless songs.

This is the latter.

[andreetje1964]

in 1986 they where playing after Simply Red at the Amsterdamse bos , it was incredibly good to hear it was near our airport Schiphol and you could feel the vibrations of the plains flying so low but the sound was 60.000 watts rms / left and rightso we could not hear them haha. It was an amazing thing to be there.Jim Kerr was really good by voice but Charlie made an amazing mistake by the intro of New Gold Dream but he did the show perfect otherwise , he is one of my favorite players !!!!!

[jsara70]

loosing his voice???good joke..

[Spiboy]

@jsara70 not so much he's loosing his voice but rather he is singing most of the songs much differently than he did in 1982-83..( thats what happens to singers as they get older ) Also the Bass and Keyboards were much more prominent in the the orginal NGD tour where as now they provide back ground filler to show case Charlie and JK . I

[bsr7]

how can u say kerr is looseing his voice was u there .............

[ejc165]

MY GOODNESS! What fantastic sound! Brilliant recording!

[TLucas3411]

shit hot video cant wait to see them in edinburgh

[safetheory]

Kerr is starting to lose his voice

[Froschfotzenfresse]

Doesn't matter as long as the keyboarder doen'st loose his mind :-)

[fcinter67]

life is too fast..... still n1 so far

[poix1970]

brilliant. this song reflects them at their prime.

[psakbar]

Fantastic -- thank you!

[spacecat1972]

Hi OlixSM, thanks a lot for putting this on! Best quality video I have seen on YouTube so far. And a great idea to film from two different perspectives and to combine the footage.

May I ask with what kind of camera this was done?

NGD is my favourite SM-song, the live version is just superb, impossible to stay still while listening to it. I've seen this fantastic gig in London and I am looking forward to the tour next summer. And the show in Edinburgh! Best wishes

[goldsaj]

BRILLIANT!!! They've done different versions of" New Gold Dream "Live before.

The Live version in 1985/86 sounded different to this.

This version is even better!

They're firing on all cylinders here.

[AJFAR]

Wow great footage Olix!! Wish I had beena t this gig (I think I met you in Newcastle and Glasgow!!) Andrea x

[tattysnr]
