It is a song that has remained popular right up to the modern day and as a result Simple Minds themselves remain a top draw when it comes to contemporary music fans.
Whilst they are still touring today, two former members of the band currently perform under the title Exsimple Minds and they take the forms of Brian McGee and Derek Forbes. McGee was the band’s drummer who was part of the original line-up before he parted company with them in 1981. Forbes, meanwhile, was a member of the band from 1978 to 1985 and took on bass guitar duties.
Today, as Exsimple Minds they can be seen on stages nationwide performing famous songs from their career. Their tenure with Simple Minds, who also had success with songs such as “Waterfront”, “Sweat in Bullet”, “The American” and “Glittering Prize” (as well as “Alive and Kicking” shortly after “Don’t You (Forget About Me)”), has given them many admirers and as a result, concert tickets are likely to be popular with music fans nationwide.
So make sure you are first in line to pick up rock tickets to witness Exsimple Minds in a live setting. Featuring some highly experienced musicians who appeared in one of the most successful bands of the 1980s it is likely to be an exciting and unbeatable chance to witness some great musical skills at play.
