    I love this era of Simple Minds. I do not begrudge their success, but the loss of Derek Forbes and later Mick McNeill had a significant impact on the band.

    This is the best lineup of the SM history. I would like to see them all together again.

    Derek, Mel, and Mic were the ultimate trio to Burchill and Kerr during the 80s. These 3 gentlemen had represented the coolest sounds and effects. The 80s were awesome because if bands like this. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

    As a teenager I got New Gold Dream - What a classic album - Loved Simple Minds at that time - I used to dress like them and do the dance moves down the local disco - I totally loved the look and the Jim Kerr dance moves.

    Wow, the days when keyboard players used to play their parts and also when they used to edit the sound themselves during their performances
