Beautiful mick truly beautiful.. again thank you for the music and the memories of the best time of my life coming to see you and the band

Mick, I could listen to you playing everyday, it’s so calming to my soul.

Just want to say thank you to a real star and top gent. He bothered to take time out from a meal he was having with his family in a restaurant in Glasgow on Saturday night, and speak to me whilst on the next table. He'd noticed my Simple Minds shirt and tapped me on the shoulder to ask if I was going to the gig. Then spent some time talking to me, and allowed a photo after my son asked. Really made my night! Great SM gig, and that was the icing on the cake. Thanks again Mick, love your music, pure genius.

Please do more of these videos 🙏🏼 it’s amazing seeing you playing such classic tunes!

amazing, tears running down my face- such an amazing melody

Maravilloso

You're an absolutely brilliant and inspiring musician Mick! I still love the albums of Simple Minds you played on the most. Since you left Simple Minds it never has been the same, unfortunately... To me the last good album was Street Fighting Years, a real musical jewel, so musical and atmospheric. You were responsible for the typical Simple Minds-sound which was such a good and lovely sound. We miss you with Simple Minds Mick !

The band has lost it`s signature mysterious sound without this guy. I have seen them four times , twice with him and twice after him. First two were two of the best gigs I`ve ever been to. No Mel now either. Saw them in Manchester last month , a nice revisit after decades but I really went for Del Amitri as support. Was a great night but The two Street fighting years tour gigs (Roundhay park and Birmingham NEC) were epic nights. Saw them in 91 at Manchester Maine road on Real life tour without Mick and the difference was noticeable. A good gig but not as brilliant as 89 Tour. Hope he rejoins them. I would go again. One of the great bands , better than U2 for me.

Simples are simply not Simple minds without you and Derek.

Michael ..this song and playing ...its goosebumps stuff , i heard you speaking recently about this song pretty much arriving fully formed at the demo stage and its that sense of structure and sense of timing that marked out Street Fighting Years song and album. SM lost something the day you left . Jim talks of a disaster for the band . I think it was way more than that . I think your wonderful vision and ambition meant that Jim and Charlie's horizons were narrowed the day you said Amsterdam was'nt for you Wonderful , what a great legacy you have left

THANK YOU Mr.MICK MCNEIL FOR THE WONDERFUL JOURNEY....👏👏🌷👏👏

I was in Verona in 1992 and since then I have seen a lot of concerts, but that one still remain in my heart, it was fantastic, all the members of the band played in a such terrific way, from Mel, to Malcolm, Charlie, Jim of course, but you with your keyboards touched my heart, Waterfront, Street Fighting Years but above all east at Easter was the TOP!!! Thank you very much Mick for all the music have you played for us...... God bless you.....

Simple Minds have never been the same since you left mate. The best sounds were when you were weaving your magic. Love, respect & gratitude 🙏

A simple Minds fan since 1983 and from the day he left we lost our melodic sound Mick is and was the one who brought the spieit into the band's music wish they would do what so many other bands of the 80's have done and reformed the line up Mick Mel back the fact that he or Mel was not included in the Simple Minds Documentary was and is criminal

Mick, just love all you play, my dear mum always admired Simple Minds music it’s so peaceful and calming to listen to

Absolutely beautiful. You are a total legend Mick!

Mick was really the key element of SM: composition, aranging, sound. No Mick no party...sorry Ps Mel and the 3 bassists of the 80s took SM rythmic session to another level too!

Absolutely beautiful Mick ❤

This fantastic melody in this piano version gives me goosebumps. So beautiful. 🤜❤️🤛

Such a lovely piece of music stripped right back, I can listen to this every day, Thanks for Mick....

Saw you at Roundhay Park on this tour 1989 it was amazing thank you for the memories mick

We miss you Mick. Your the best. Kind regards Fred van Engelen

I now know why Charlie didn't speak to you for 9yrs. SM died when you left.

Brilliant Mick.Classic minds.👌

The one and only Michael MacNeil, genius ❤

There was a depth and richness to Minds music when Mick was there that cannot be replaced. Piano/keyboard went from being the centrepiece to an afterthought. That rich piano sound was what brought me to Simple Minds in the first place. Nothing's been the same since SFY.

la canzone PIù bella della mia vita.Grazie Mick. è stupenda questa versione solista.

Thanks for sharing this song, Mick. Back in the eighties I always tried to isolate mentally your keyboard parts. I always had the impression that there was much more behind the group arrangements and I'm so grateful to hear this beautiful melody now as a solo version.

mick mac neil is the best il restera a jamais le meilleur clavieriste de simple minds personne est a la hauteur

So grateful for growing up in the 80s and 90s , this is pure genius and takes me away to a different world. I wore my street fighting years cassette out listening to this, Mick you are a genius 👏

Thanks for this Mick... It stirs the sweet gold memories of bygone times, when I was in my teens in the 80s.

Beautiful.

Mick, you're a great musician! With Charlie, you're the sound of simple minds

You are core to that Simple Minds sound,such creativity & talent,you are sorely missed.

Amazing 🤩 ❤loving it thanks Mick you never lost this Midas touch on keyboards .

Love your music and playing. Pure feeling ❤ thank you, Mick

Love this Mick, SFY is such an achievement as a record, the chord progressions, the subtle touches and the whole structure. It has an ageless beauty. Thanks for sharing this.

Crystalline beautiful, like a flower unfolding. The last authentic SM album. Thank you for posting!

The j giblin composition made me realise that if Charlie added his piece it could have been the minds journey on the level it used to be.

Been listening to a lot of your stuff lately Mick, including the excellent Rob Johnson interview. I had genuinely forgotten what a massive contribution you had not only made to the SM sound but how your music also resonates with me. Its beyond magical. Thank you so much. Hope one day you do the magical intro to book of brilliant things from the live in the city of light album, as that is a permanent fixture on my playlist.

Just been to see the band this time around last time I saw them was street fighting years tour when you were still them couldn’t help but think how great it would have been to have you back on the UK leg of the tour 😢 as it wasn’t the same affect without u!

This is a real gift. If you can spare the time, the world in general, and fans and keyboardists in particular, would probably love some quick and dirty play throughs of all your tracks in this format. I know I would love it. Simple Minds was a treasure for me growing up. I'd go to the record store every week and "S" for "Simple Minds" was always my first stop to see if there was something I didn't have.

A wonderful song performed by an incredible musician! You have been such a great influence on my music over the years. Thank you so much!

Stunning mm” I agree sadly nothing was the same once you left” a genius you are !

One of my favorite songs.. Thanks for sharing this Mick. And most of all: thanks for being such an important part of Simple Minds. Your music brought great joy to my life ❤

Fabulous musician

How did you come up with such a beautiful song?

Operatic is the word i use to describe this. It's an incredible track. So many layers. Here's comes a hurricane....

Incredible. Thank you ❤

Great times

E P I C !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Magic

Sublime

Hi Mick, I just hope this video ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oa2jobqZp8m2fps.html ) can express all our gratitude for the wonderful music you gave us. Five boys from a small Italian village who enjoyed "imitating" their idols. Today time has passed, our cover band no longer exists, but your sweet and brilliant melodies will accompany us for a long, long time to come. Infinitely thanks Mick & SM P.S. If you want to listen to more, there are other covers on the channel

Absolutely love every effing second of this man. Is there no slightest little chance of rejoining? I was just too young to see you guys earlier than 1990-something. We are here only once… Hope!

so gorgeous, what a composer

Questo era il vero sound Simple minds

Hello Mick je préfère SM avec toi que SM sans toi

Hi Mick, If you hear me, how to buy PPT again ? Henri from France.
