Its a shame that John was only ever classed as a session bassist. The man has true talent .

Best bassist in the world.

Amazing all round, but Robin Clark totally takes this to another level !!

I remember having this performance recorded on VHS and listening to it over and over in mid 80s. It makes me very emotional as it brings back many memories, of lovely people who enjoyed watching it with me, and who are now long gone...

Fucking incredible. Arguably the best LP of the Eighties.

Robin Clark and the conga player STILL really make this for me!

The best band forever!❤

Once Upon A Time ... we had real music !!! SIMPLE MINDS. Thank you Lady at Vocals ❤

Simple Minds is a powerhouse 80's band with great stage presence. This video says it all; great vocals, guitar, synth and drums. Todays music isn't even in the same galaxy.

Fun to see the boys--and Ms. Robin Clark--cut loose on this version of a classic good enough to put a tear in my eye. For some reason I feel a tremendous NOSTALGIA--lost youth, perhaps?--whenever I hear it.

Houve um tempo que existia música

What voice Robbin Clark as. Definitely bring this lady back.

Ah, brings back memories of their appearance at Mesa Amphitheater on April 13, 1986. It was an excellent show and experience. When I hear select Simple Minds songs from "Once Upon a Time" I can see them on stage. There was a hi-rise hotel on the southeast corner of the amphitheater and I remember seeing the spotlights from the stage shining on the hotel. The show was an experience because of the intimate feel of the venue.

I love this live version. It's upbeat and electric, 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.

Greatest band off the 80's. I've saw this show three times in Belgium! I'll never forget these moments. Thanks Jim, Charlie, Mel, Robin and Michael Mc Neal....

I wish this was available on DVD so as to listen to it all its glory....

Robin is the QUEEN

Robin Clark brought me here, again and again and again!

I hope Simple Minds comes back to America in 2021 after this covid 19 mess is over.

I recorded this concert on MTV back in 1987, and I could not stop playing this song over and over again. Next, I got it off of Napster before the crackdown, and now it's on KZfaq, and I still can't stop playing this song over and over again. This version sounds so much better than the album track, as the synthesizers are more up front. This 1985 concert from The Ahoy in Rotterdam is the Simple Minds at their very best, and this is the very best song from that concert. Amazing!!

Grandiose....... Merveilleux..... Que j’écoute depuis plus de 33 ans et que mes enfants adorent aussi......

Excelsior Robin Clark! Amazing unbelievable voice !

Tremendous! I loved this period of SM, and cant understand why it gets knocked so much!

One of my favourite 80s bands.

Everytime I hear this song I feel like I'm in home, Dublin, Ireland

Great times!!!

Damn thats pleasure. Absolute gold. Shivers.

Giblin was great on this tour. superb musician

ジョンギブリンさんありがとうございました。安らかに。

Robin Clark & the Simple Minds.

Jim Kerr is a top man!

The best album of the '80s in the best live rendition ever. So much love in this music.

AWESOME, SM best band ever

The best band of.the.80 live omg

I sometimes have to be reminded that the 80's had some truly epic creations......Bravo Zulu!

Great video great time great band i hope gaffitti soul are a good album....

One of the greatest 80s albums. And it never occured to me how much Jim resembles Dana Carvey in this clip....

I laugh whenever I read that they sold out on this record, instead of enjoying this record to the fullest ..one of my all time fav discs...Mel, Robbin, John, Mike and Jim....hell of a line up!! Love you Robbin!! and no dis to Derek Forbes love him too!!

What a drummer

Wild Jim with Robin great times

Porque os cara não faz uma Musicalidade mais assim

Wow, was there too. Was that the one with The Waterboys, In Tua Nua and the Bangles? Great times and this was one of the best televised concerts of the time - all thanks to that iconic pop show The Tube! Can't understand why they've never released it on DVD

Oh to be near you in the first morning lights, I'd be with you I'd stay with you tonight.

@pauldringuk yes why is not avaliable best live act out i remember them showing this on the tube out standing goose pimples every time

The very very e

Love this song. Amazing anyone could stand watching this. INSULTING. NOT IN FOCUS and the AUDIO IS AWFUL. UGGGHHH. My ears are bleeding lol

Good song and album , but wasnt the same , the real SM died when Derek went ,

@elijah1971 yes better than u2 !!!!!!

John Giblin was a poor imposter to Derek Forbes.

This song reminds me of the summer of 1985 driving down PCH with the top down in Laguna Beach..Those were the days..
