SIMPLE MINDS - New Gold Dream LIVE

[MrColinthechef]

just at the start of this clip u see a bit of white in the crowd to the right, thats the white part of my irish flag, was a great concert

[spikearchie]

..what a band..roll on Feb next year)))

[royseahawks]

@spikearchie Right u going to the 5x5, cant wait

[TheDepeche68]

genau..wolw66 (lang Leben die 80`s)

[wolw66]

Long live the 80's



[antonpaco]

the best band in the world, the 80'!!!!

[jaytol1]

I was 16 listening to this back in the day great band

[andysummersbey]

Truly great..nothing more needs adding...

[ronnie196719672]

The best fuckin band in the 80's bar none. Still cutting it in the year 2011 !!!! Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill are gods!!! This song still sounds brilliant, even better than first hearing this in 82 in the Waterfront pub on the Broomielaw in Glasgow

[roanna104]

I'm with you Mr. Black! loved the 80's, loved the 70's, loved the 60's too! Great music, great bands!!

But Simple Minds are still my all-time favorite!!!

YAY FOR YOUTUBE!!!!!

[banffscotland]

Brilliant

[MrKeyboarder8]

pure energy in this old pop-song..... What young I was at this time. Love the song.

[TulareTapehead]

Awesome song, best of the 80's. Incredibly annoying to watch though, what with the view changing every three seconds. Will listen to just in background.

[Sportbilly121]

love it .. Jim's still got it .. kinda menat more in 81, 82, 83, 84 though as a student in Aberdeen

[franckmilo62]

je kiffe je sur kiffe bon dioux!

[alcamee]

Saw them last year on their Graffitti soul tour and they were better than when I used to see them in the 80's and early 90's. Got my tickets for Thetford and can't wait. An absolutely amazing live band who gets more from the crowd than any other band I've ever seen!

[zuneslave]

Fuckin' fanmatastic band! Too bad U2 got all the attention. Master drummer, key man, & FX axe man teamed with a great writer & vocal. If it's not from Scotland it's crap!

[eblonk10]

In an late 80s interview with Dutch musicmagazine Oor, Bono told how he always played this song right before going on stage because he found it powerful and inspiring.

[mohomoho1]

I still have not seen a band who can move an audience like Jim Kerr and Simple Minds! His energy puts Bono to shame.

[Upeter2]

@mohomoho1 u2s early gigs bono used to throw himself about like a madman, but this all stopped when he nearly killed himself a few times in the war tour. He dosent have to do that any more as the crowd will come to him. Simple minds are great live but U2 are better.

[TQ255]

What does he say at 0:20?

[gostdeamon]

Rmember playing this In the basment of my folks placs VERRY LOUD now IM A Verry OLD 53 AND it still sounds good :-)

[zimadude99]

I'm gonna have to jump the puddle, and go to scotland or England or Ireland to see this guys, waiting to see if they wanna come to South Florida, and zero nada.

[kath925]

LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!

[TalkToTheBody]

Glad to see them back, it's been too long. Saw them in Dec 08 and in torrential rain at Edinburgh Castle in July 09, let's hope we get more classics from them

[DerekEvanLand]

One of the best performances of this song - or any song - ever. Gotta love Jim. :)

[MegaSoops1970]

:-)

[XH558B2]

Nice to see Mel Gaynor on the skins.....As always Charlie does the biz on the lead an Jim is the icing on the SM cake

[doctorwhonico]

Excellent music never dies !!

I'm curieus to hear into 30 years if crap rap and hiphop still is on the radio...

FOR SURE NOT !!

[panamaniak]

@doctorwhonico Lol! I know we all love SM but realistically that's what people said over 30 years ago about hip hop(btw for the record rap and hip hop are NOT interchangeable. Rap is but 1 of 4 parts that make up hip hop) I don't listen to the new stuff(a little TOO ignorant for me) but golden age is more my speed. Raps not going anywhere soon. As long as it's making record companies rich it will be here. The samething was said about rock. Now if there was no rock there'd be no SM. Peace.

[nostalgikful]

jim kerr and simple minds are always great,! always a great band!!

WONDERFUL!!

[iproxi]

Notice Jim said, "She is Your friend until he bitter end", so sad he is so unlucky in love. Not for the lack of trying old friend.

[davyro66]

ive still got every album by them,ive been to see them 3 times ,they were my favorite band when i was younger,but ive not listened to them for years,ive started watching them again on youtube & its like discovering them all over again,awesome!

[Kate28Embarcadero]

Thank you, Jim!!! I made it back to myself!!!

[p262shp]

Fantastic best sm song ever never ages

[vmurphy03]

[chasman19651888]

[Domhnulla]

Still so fucking brilliant

[KarmaSong]

I may have listened to New Gold Dream a thousand times !!! Superbly energetic music ...

[p262shp]

Superb my fav band of all time and very underated

[instantdogma]

They still sound great.

[Matrixpoker1]

Simple Minds simply the Genius !

[Fordsonking]

Most of us who remember and like his music are middle aged.... ;-) The best tune ever!!

[NeedleTVLTD]

@Fordsonking not me! I'm 17 and Simple Minds are my favorite band!!!

[pipkin1973]

love love love 'em!!! x

[martin351974]

M.E.N AREA 3/12/09 I WILL BE THERE !!!!

[mrblack4026]

nothing wrong with middle age...we will all be middle age one day... if lucky enough....glad i made it... it means i got to see simple minds and all the great bands from the 80's....wouldn't change my age for the world...47..... loving every minute.

[masquesandmirrors]

@mrblack4026

I'm with you on that! :)

[cwbalmer]

Friking awesome!!! Listen to that bass!!

[newgolddream81]

Excellent new version - so glad to hear SM has kept this song interesting. I really like the driving base and Charlie's mellow approach!

Keep the great vids coming for us US fans!

[lovewalruss]

i think the tube version is way better than this, this version is a little middle aged

[mick2988]

wtf is wrong with middle aged LOL

[nextonespink]

they're all great...but mel gaynor is something else!

[rijnsewijn]

I was there.....

[herrehful]

The absolute best live version I found in the internet! Long ago, but still mega though.

[jasonspurs]

the fuckin best song ever they done

[tezhed]

Got tks to see them at Wembley 8 December. second row from t the front.Absolute brill.Will be the 9th time Ive seen them ad they just get better

[UKTS2000]

Vintage! No other way to describe. That is the best version of NGD I've heard. Play it long people.....and play it loud !

[FrankWangle]

simple minds Corr ! that brings back good memories ! tapes and LP's remember those !

[HARDROCKRAMMSTEINFAN]

yeahh, this pretty Les Paul guitar ahhhhhhh

that sounds nice!

[hdje39m8]

Love this band but this looks and sounds shit

[spikelive]

shit! maybe you smoked shit!

[Matrixpoker1]

The best version live of New Gold Dream and the guitar of Charlie Burchill it' s fantastic !

[iveco321]

some bands just have a something else about them that makes them true legends - brilliant!!

[yaywhewclips242]

this is from a 1984 album right? I have it on vinyl. I believe it's a collectors item, B cause it came out JUST B4 "The Breakfast Club" soundtrack which brought them to their successful American career.

[drsevrin]

Well, actually it was released in 82, yaywhewclips 242, and not so much a collectors' item. New Gold Dream 81-82-83-84 is quite common and easy to buy. Not to say it isn't a brilliant album, though.

[vandalounge]

he's the king.

[kpnilsson]

Simple Minds rule the planet! Awesome.

[nockie666]

new gold dream!!!!! ==== XTC.......

[sosjonnietim]

But they're still great!

Simple minds FTW!

[kaitlynlyla]

he,s getting old thats why , let me see your hands .

[skullrack]

Very nice to see that they are still performing. I just love to see this.

Still, I would like to make a comment, and wonder if anyone has noticed this: it looks to me that Jim is a bit anxious about his voice, and he seems to avoid harder parts with sudden voice changes.

In fact, he does the calm parts very well like in the old days.

A matter of confidence?

Anyway, nice to see them again.

[khebjeuk]

I saw them in the 80s right there on that same stage. I am watching this now and my jaw is on the floor; Christ, they're good!!!!

[gerthie]

saw them 84 city hall they rocked

[CetumM77]

Song with eternal energy! Great!!!!!

[sex2go]

I saw them at the hollywood palladum in the early 80's they were Great!

[capdome]

MITICIIIII!!!

[kroon4]

a few years older but still great. A version of this song in maximum overdrive. Love it.

[bsr7]

wow dont u just love this song grt vid dude thanx 4 posting cheers pip

[gofurre]

This is their best new gold dream pref. ever........Just Great.

[NefeliOdisseas]

Eins der besten ihrer Lieder!Supertolle band,Jim Kerrs Ausstrahlung und Charlie Burchills Gitarre!

[beanser1]

La lA lA, La La lA, Sweet Dreams, Good Morning. This song tops many, many tunes.

[2468tonic]

I wish Jim and his band would get their asses over to Canada so I can see them LIVE!!!

[Dillboy]

It's Missing Michael MacNeils Keys Sorry I'm A purist.

[soundoftheatom]

I have to agree mate. The synth line makes this song.

[Dillboy]

Thanks, Finally someone agrees with me for once!

[safetheory]

And Derek Forbes!

[PAPI67]

nice song!!! come to peru!!

[cobbcon2001]

Unfortunately, Derek Forbes is not playing bass.

[meccaturbo]

@cobbcon2001 Yeah, and thank God that you're not playing bass.

[skyjuke2006]

Quanti ricordi! (how many memories!)

Ero alle scuole superiori (25aa fa circa) e ci andavo matto per Jimmy Kerr e i Simple Minds!

[iomaxio]

A chi lo dici!

Idem anche per me!

Solo che.... io ne vado pazzo ancora oggi!!!!

[iomaxio]

A chi lo dici!

Idem anche per me!

Solo....che io ne vado matto anche oggi!

[reallife08]

Simply Brillant... Simple Minds. Can't wait to see them at Wembley Arena in November. Looks like fans from all over the globe will be there. And with performances like this, we know why!

[LadySleek83]

I literally have the T-Shirt for the song!

I cant wait to see them in November!

[leneyoyo]

I have it too :)

[spenner1973]

Still as good all these years on, just got two tickets for Sheffield Areana gig on 1st December for me and my girl, and we cant wait, deacon blue supporting too, what a night, Bring it on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Retepsppa]

I love this song but cannot go past the somewhat bastardised versions of this and Book Of Brilliant Things on "Live in the City of Lights"....they are just awesome....full of feeling and emotion. The sound blows me away. Finally saw them live in Brisbane 3 years ago and they were magnificent.

[sofiachan1]

The best version!

[NGC2308]

Beautiful song!!

[VikingInvaders]

Thanks for uploading this masterpiece

[YvonneAitch31]

I've seen Simple Minds twice, once in the late 80's and again in the early 90's, going to see them in Dec at the SECC, they must surely be one of the best live bands EVER? I've never gotten sick of their sound...

[janezjansa77]

different..........original

[IngoDE]

Dream the dream with me !

Superb performance of one of the best live bands in the world !!

[bellatrix81828384]
