@dbadz Thaks, for someone actually telling us when this was performed!. I have the 1988 one on C90 tape when it was simultaneously broadcast on TV and Radio 2 VHF, I was experimenting with a new stereo decoder that very day. Also Tracy Chapman and others, Dire Straits?. Wonder how much my quality tape has faded... I remember that day and the whole concert so well.

LONG LIFE TO NELSON MANDELA,A MOST BIG MAN OF AFRICA,WE'LL NEVER FORGET HIS FIGHT EVER....AFRICA UNITE TOGETHER WE WILL HAVE THE VICTORY....

This is how to work a crowd. To turn a song that mention the words 'Nelson' and/or 'Mandela' into something that is not tacky or cloying or just plain fucking naff is quite an achievement for ANY band. The elecricity in Simple Mind's performance comes across - even on video. Jim Kerr has all the right moves, stagecraft, a breathy voice of indisputable class and thus makes himself look like a totally awesome rock god to have me drooling that I was him! Class.
