Simple Minds - Alive and Kicking. Night of the Proms (Rotterdam, Netherlands 1997). ( There is a higher quality version here: • Simple Minds - Alive &... )
I was 7 years old when I first heard this and I was fascinated by it. 37 years later, it's one of my favorite songs of all time. The 80's were pure magic.

So grateful this Simple Minds video is here! I absolutely love watching this. Jim and the band is at the top of their game. What a performance! And the orchestra! The audience was so engaged. I'm 62 years old now and I feel like the '80s and 90s just passed by so fast. I would give anything to turn the clock back again. I am into their music - more now than ever!

I am "only" 52, but the 90's were the best decade. Not only because being in my 20ties but it looks like it was the last decade of optimism and innocence. After the cold war, but before 9/11 and all the current crisises. This video brings back so many great memories...

It's rare but every now and then musicians and audience combine to create something beautiful they are in the zone. This is one of those moments, if you're lucky to be there when this happens treasure it. You often see crowds in top tier cities standing looking bored at the musicians mentally thinking, impress me. Well, you only get what you give, that's the way it works.
