  • Sorry but seen them more than once and everytime it was not. They are far from the quality that they have on the albums Thats that I only listen to studiowork.

  • Derek Forbes alone has more talent than Bono, The Edge, and the rest of U2! Add Mick, Mel, Charlie, and Jim and Simple Minds blows U2 right out of the water!

  • @ronaldvanderkleij you're wrong on 2 counts! 1) Simple Minds is an amazing live band. Their songs are *much* better live than in the studio. 2) Hands down, they are a much better band than U2. Had Simple Minds gotten the promotion that they deserved from their record label, they'd be filling stadiums now instead of U2.

  • Simple minds are live not that good as they were in studio but still better than U2

  • This is the first time i've heard the album arrangement live. I wish they didn't play them so fast though.

  • Add your video to the list of things to be thanked.

  • @babsterbabester I hadn't noticed until today. lol

  • Great energetic version. Love how Derek pumps the basslines... Does anybody now what's up with the ending? It sounds like a drunk guy (Derek?) blabbering about and then breaks something.

  • Nice one, Chris!

  • amazing how they varied the arrangement of this song through the 80s
