Mel Gaynor is still by far one of the coolest, ferocious drummers, ever. 😎🥁🔥🔥♥️

What an era...Big country simple minds, the alarm, the mission the icicle works, u2 depeche mode loved the alternative 80,s

Jim at his absolute peak here....absolutely fantastic !!!

Malcolm Foster is an work of art on Bass at 6:45. Brilliant song and live in Verona is unbelievable.

What a great performance on the drums.

Jim Kerr seems so demonstrative. He always seems to be reaching out and touching the audience members.

🎤 Love Jim Kerr's powerful voice and the ecstatic energy he shows on this live performance. Awesome !

Drummer is a powerhouse. Jim Kerr’s Bruce Lee kick’s. How much better than U2. Electrifying.

EPIC! Every single guy is an virtuosic musican! God... please bring me back the golden 80's

A band at their peak. Every member just nailing the shit out it

mell gaynor is one hell of a drummer

DAMN......DAMN.......All I can say.......... Loved it when he left the stage and that stagehand sailed in there with him. The crowd would have "taken him away......." One of if not THE finest bands of the eighties. I was in my early twenties then but didn't know they made this kind of music. Only followed them on the radio. Wish I had payed more attention to them. I am paying attention now!

I think if you are guitarist starting off you should study this entire album and learn how to play all the songs. The guitarist covers so many styles of playing in this live concert album and the effects he creates and uses are incredible for just one musician. Learn how to play this entire live album on your guitar and you will have reached a serious level. For the guitarist to perform so many things live required serious taught beforehand. A magnificent piece of live work for the whole band and the singer.

once upon a time was a such a great album. I remember listening to the live version also. on tape.

My absolute favourite band of all time!!!! Magical voice!!!

Unforgettable I was there!!!

arguably the best live band on the planet right then with that line up of mel Gaynor and Michael mcneil

One of the best live albums ever.

One day we will look way back and discover this absolute genius at play and wonder why we ever wanted anything else?

one of the BEST bands ever! cheers from Slovenia

Che energia, che gruppo, che performance ai tempi hanno detto la loro, e nelle menti di chi li ha visti e ascoltati hanno lasciato un bel ricordo indelebile. Dal vivo erano formidabili.

every time I hear and arrive at the sixth minute the goose skin opens up an inch and my eyes begin to shine thinking about the wonderful 80s thanks simple even if a little bad but it was beautiful

Still great after all these years! Best live album I ever owned.

I'm just blown away...One of the best live acts of all time!!!

Brilliant Mel Gaynor,superb SM

One of my all-time favorite bands, and I'm 60 years old and heard and seen a lot of them. Their Live Aid show will always be a CLASSIC!

Great ...Great Performance!!! Brilliant bassline from Malcolm supports the even more amazing drumming by Mel

I LOOOOVE THIS CONCERT MY FAVORITE LOVE SIMPLE MINDS. EVERYTIME I CLEAN MY APARTMENT IN NEW YORK OR IN SPAIN I PLAY THIS RECORD. INCREDIBLE

FOR ATTENTION OF ALL SIMPLE MINDS FANS: theres a great film about two rangers supporters who hitchhiked throughout europe to get to this concert called forget about me

on ne s'en lasse pas, mon groupe préféré de l'époque

BLOWN🌬️AWAY🤘😎🤘

Brilliant.. right at the top of their game at this time...

♥️♥️the best of the 80's

building all the way through with all giving everything and totally loving it. Absolutely loved this era of the minds

by far the best musicians in the eighties!

What a great venue, I think this is from 1989, possibly Verona Italy, I have the DVD

better than U2. absolutely

I was at that concert in Arena Verona. It was 1989

Great performance!!!

My favorite band. Bombastic dance music. Uplifting.

LOVE'EMLOVE'EMLOVE'EM........

great song thanks for the upload

The Edge said that when he developed the riff & progression for where the streets have no name, his goal was to try put together the ultimate U2 live song. In the end, that is U2's most iconic, recognized and anticipated moment in their setlist. Apparently they had at least one opportunity to srsly monetize that song by allowing the rights to be commercialized to a very popular brand (iirc may have been along the lines of microsoft.) Having said all that, as much as I love U2 and especially the Edge, there is zero doubt in my mind that U2, perhaps even unintentionally, totally copied Charlie's brilliant riff for the foundation of what is universally recognized as their most potent live song (personally, I think live version of Bad is their best moment on stage.) No doubt in my mind. Just listen to them side by side and compare the timing of the releases, understanding that U2 openly admits their fondness for Simple Minds, Big Country and the Alarm. You'd have to be tone deaf to not acknowledge the cutting similarity of the two riffs.

Amazing performance!!!!!

music at its best

Love it so power full 🎶

Absolutely brilliant.

Amazing performance! Can't wait to see you in July in Molfetta!

Incontournable en live !!! Quelle pêche !

That guitar part must have been absolutely amazing live

This is a super great performance in all ways! "You talk about South Africa, I tell you about the Irish children"

Love this ❤️

Il est formidable 😘😍

So Great ! So Brillant thing !

Greatest band ever!

How good is this band .Awesome blow them away were gonna blow them away..Wish I saw them live then .this one's a fav

very nice !!!

During that tour or that period they where the best live band in the world - unbelievably good musicans being in incredible form. Seen them in 1998, still great but there is no comparison to that tour. So glad there's 'Live in the City of Lights', what a great album, what an important contemporary document! Looking forward to my next opportunity to see them, hopefully somewhere in summertime ;)

amazing

Still amazing

I fuckin love SImple Minds!

I LOVE SIMPLE MINDS!!!!! :))
