Simple Minds
-
Recieved my ticket for Simple Minds in Manchesters HMV Ritz.This will be my 10th time of seeing them.The first was in 1989 at Roundhay Park,Leeds when they were probably the biggest band on the planet.Apart from Don't you forget about me,does any have any memories of them or been to see them.They have been going for 35 years without a brake and are still going strong.

Simple Minds were massive in the 1980s, but their reputation and legacy seems to have nosedived in more recent years - I wonder why, when compared with other acts.

Quite a fan when I was younger although remember being disappointed when watching the Real Life tour in 1991 (Wembley Arena I think). Perhaps time to catch them live again - made some truly excellent records.
