Simple Minds Wall of Love Live 1989

Simple Minds performing "Wall of love" live at Paris Bercy 19th June 1989. Footage taken from a MTV documentary. Street fighting years tour.

Some of the lyrics:-
Great wall of love, build me a great wall of love
When the blind man sings about the peaceful things
You shout that it's still not enough

Ah well it's not the sound of ghosts I hear
It's the devil with his chainsaw
And I'll be running through the ghettos
Through the townships of Soweto
Always not enough, no not enough

Brothers missing, babies kissing
And the thing that got to you
Burning never turning next to you

Ooh, great wall of love, build me a great wall of love
When the blind man sings about the peaceful things
You shout that it's still not enough

The song street fighting years on the verona tour was superb made better by the addition of when spirits rise and the thunder storm

[Cultmetfan]

remember recording this off ITV. have to agree its better than the Verona video. how did this song get omitted from Verona!?!?! it was awesome live.

[progazm]

This is so awesome!! Man, I wish to se this entire consert! I do love Verona, but the intervews are a litle bit annoying. The sound from streefighting tour are amazing!  It would be fun to get axsess to audio from the entire setlist.

Awesome TTC!!! 1989 was when I first saw SM, in Melbourne, so this is great to see!! :) AND!!! This is one of my more favourite songs. I really love the album, and this song is a highlight.
