The best opening to a concert ever? Arguably yes. Brilliant.

I agree it's a great live version, but I do also think the live versions on the "Live in the city of light" album, the "Verona" video and various other live performances are just as great. I'ts a song that works brilliantly live.

Lets not forget, SM were bigger than U2. They were filling arenas before U2 really made it! You can't compete with this - different class! I have an idea - we should try to relive this golden age - one big, single stadium event that combines all of SM iconic moments - it would be a sell out guaranteed!! One big event at Wembley or Millenium Stadium - 35 or 40 thousand devoted SM fans going nuts one last magical time - what about it?

@philwright8653 3 жыл бұрын

Look at U2 now and compare to SM. U2 have their original lineup and are still filling huge stadiums. SM have had many lineup changes and are no longer filling huge stadiums.

@garypayne3845 3 жыл бұрын

When this was filmed, 1986 ? I would say SM and U2 were about on a par but once U2 released Joshua Tree they moved into the stratosphere where as SM slowly declined from here, plus Simple Minds were never that big in the USA, prime example ‘Don’t you forget about me’ to the average american “is that song from the Breakfast Club” not “that song by Simple Minds”
