Widely popular Scottish art rock outfit, Simple Minds found huge fame in the 1980s, best known for their breakthrough hit single, "Don't You (Forget About Me)" which established the act on both sides of the Atlantic.

Finding influence from the likes of Roxy Music and U2, Simple Minds formed out of the remnants of Glaswegian punk group, Johnny and the Self-Abusers, with guitarist Charlie Burchill and singer Jim Kerr joining forces with bassist Derek Frobes, drummer Brian McGee and keyboardist Mick McNeil in 1978. The band's initial releases moved between dense art-pop ("Life in a Day") to the experimental-leaning "Reel to Real Cacophony," to Euro-disco influenced "Empires and Dance." With "Sons and Fascination" and "Sister Feelings Call," they streamlined their sound into more accessible pop, before finding significant chart success with "New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84)."

However, it was with the 1985 hit single, "Don't You (Forget About Me)" that Simple Minds found international success. Despite its success, topping the American charts, Simple Minds decided not to feature the single on their next album, "Once Upon a Time," due to Kerr's dislike of the song's lyrics. The album was still a success, breaking into the US Top Ten and becoming certified Gold.

Simple Minds failed to build on the momentum of their last album, with the overtly political "Street Fighting Years' failing to meet its success. Personnel changes after the more straightforward "Real Life" threw the band's future into question yet Kerr and Burchill managed to persevere and breathe new life into the act. 1995's "Good News From The Next World" gained moderate airplay support, with a short North American tour shortly after yet they were unable to restore their previous energies.

Into the new millennium, Simple Minds had found a new enthusiasm of sorts, releasing the cover album, "Neon Lights," which covered the likes of Patti Smith, Neil Young and David Bowie. New material appeared a year later with "Cry," followed by "Our Secrets Are the Same" in 2003, which helped to reignite interest in the band. Several reissues and two more albums of new material, "Black and White" (2005) and "Graffiti Soul" (2009) maintained the band's relevance, prompting a global tour and festival appearances. 2014's "Big Music" found critical acclaim with their well-crafted pop, debuting at number 12 on the UK Albums Chart.

Live reviews

I had to see Simple Minds in concert just because their song "Don't You Forget About Me" from "The Breakfast Club" was such a pivotal point in my young life. I heard that song as a child, and bought their albums throughout the years listening hard for the next lesson that I needed to learn from them.

I enjoyed their brand of 80s music just because it wasn't the typical bubble gum pop type stuff that was out at the time. Their music was more timeless, like a progressive rock that could stand along side Tears for Fears and Depeche Mode. The concert was something I will be forever grateful for having the opportunity to attend. The audience had a fair representation for all walks of life and all ages. The music was well appreciated by everyone in attendance and there as much dancing and singing to accompany the performance. While some of their music may have a moody feel, the overall emotion the audience got was enjoyment and happiness.

The music of Simple Minds has a purity to it that allows for some of the derogatory subjects that they address in their songs. Hopefully Simple Minds will continue to inspire future generations.

Scottish rockers Simple Minds first formed almost forty years ago. After struggling to achieve commerciality during their first releases, they scored a string of number one albums in the UK during the 80's and recorded a huge international hit entitled 'Don't You Forget About Me' for the soundtrack to cult film 'The Breakfast Club'.

This took the band touring around the world and the lessons they learned during this time are still evident in their stage show. Now a frequenter of the UK festival circuit, Simple Minds hold a great notion of nostalgia and their music really resonates with a great deal of the audience. They still choose to delight fans with the favourites such as 'Glittering Prize' and 'Promised You A Miracle' which cause huge singalong from the baying crowds.

Great showmen to this day, the band are able to conduct their instruments whilst still whipping the crowds into frenzy before perfect renditions of 'Alive And Kicking'. The crowd erupts in cheers for 'Don't You Forget About Me' and the anthemic 80's tones sound just as wonderful as you would imagine.

Just saw Simple Minds at the Beacon, NYC, 10/2/18. What a thrill!!! I had waited so long (too long) to see the group who I have LOVED since the early 1980's. They were FANTASTIC!!! They performed all of my favorites (Promised You a Miracle, Love Song, New Gold Dream 81,82,83,84 and many others). I was lucky to be in the 3rd row (wish I had purchased tix for the 1st row!), and could see how wonderful Jim Kerr was interacting with the audience.

It is great to see when musicians actually show how they enjoy doing what they do and appreciate their fans.

Although I am not so healthy, and my feet go painfully numb after a half hour of standing, I forced myself to stand and dance for the whole show. It was worth it!!

I'm thinking of calling out sick tomorrow and going up to Boston to catch them again! Or maybe D.C. this weekend! I am so happy I got to have seen them now but I'm also sad because I don't know when it will happen again. I really hope they return to NYC again soon, or that I will be in Europe whenever they are touring again.

The Simple Minds concert in Barcelona was simply sensational.

I was dubious around how they could translate their rock/pop hits into an acoustic set, but it was extremely well done.

The band played the majority of their hits and even did some covers of David Bowie and Prince, which were excellent.

KT Tunstall as support was a great fit, and I'm also a fan. Her set was short, but she later joined the band for a couple of encore songs.

I have seen the band several times in Barcelona at different venues and the acoustic venue was pretty special. It was relatively intimate with around 1200-1500 and all with great views of the stage.

I travelled from Mallorca for the gig and wasn't disappointed.

Had waited so many years to see Simple Minds, so was excited to see them at the SF Masonic. Venue was great, perfect sightlines from nearly every seat.

Sadly, was soo, so disappointed that the drummer did not play original drum lines ("Promised You a Miracle" was really drab without its signature drumming), and most of the songs were just, well, flat. Don't think it was the acoustics in the venue, but rather a very muddy mix, and few songs had the clean/clear/punchy sound of the originals.

Showman Jim Kerr was enjoying himself, and the backup singer was perfect, but we ended up leaving before New Gold Dream (my favorite), preferring to listen to it on Spotify so as not to hear an inert, live version...

My 12th concert with Simple Minds and it was nice to see them live again. Had a little problem with hearing Jim Kerr's voice at the beginning of the concert but it became better. I'm always pleased to see simple minds but this concert was not among the best ones, not only because of the "sound problems" but also because the setlist was a bit confusing in my opinion. I will still rate this concert 7/10, i love Jim Kerr's energy on the stage, Mel Gaynor's awesome sound on the drums and Charlie Burchill's amazing repertoire in ways of playing the guitar.... I'm allready looking foward to see them again....

Simply put,it was one of the best nights for my daughter, wife and myself at a concert. Jim Kerr put it all out there for us. The band played great. We had a meet and greet as well and the band was so down to earth. They signed a Setlist special for my daughter for her birthday. They played all their big hits from old to new. Not only did Jim hold our hands during a few songs, they put the mic to me during Sanctify Yourself for me to sing.. It was purely amazing the performance and connection they have with their fans.

What an amazing show! These guys know how to party! Simple Minds played two sets that equaled out to about 23 songs. There was a good mix of old and new. They had us screaming and dancing along with them. They were really great. The venue was nice too. Not too big and not too small. Staff st venue were really helpful too! Casey was the guy who told us what to do and where to go during the meet and greet and he was really pleasant..! Great job simple Minds

Simple Minds last night @ Coventry Butts Park. You can't beat the good old 80's songs from them.Don't you forget about me. My stepson brought us the tickets for his Dad's 50th birthday,as he knew how much we like Simple Minds. I've now seen Simple Minds twice & my husband Simon Harris 3 times. Well worth seeing. Pretenders is another great group from our generation. Get them to Peterborough Cambridgeshire & Northamptonshire.

I’ve loved Simple Minds for over 30 years, had Sister feelings call in vinyl & last nights show was a big deal for me, I still listen to them at work all the time.

Loved the show! Good for them for being so generous with a 3 hour show! Got guitar picks from the band so I’m super excited.

The drummer is a beast! All musicians were top! Had a blast & will always remember it.

SIMPLE MINDS

Practical info.

18:45 Doors 19:30 DEL AMITRI 20:45 SIMPLE MINDS

In the past decade alone, Simple Minds have played to hundreds of thousands of people around the globe, including their largest US tour to date in 2018. Demand to see the band perform well known hits including ‘Promised You a Miracle’, ‘Glittering Prize’, ‘Someone Somewhere in Summertime’, ‘Waterfront’, ‘Alive and Kicking’, ‘Sanctify Yourself’ and ‘Don’t You Forget About Me’ has grown year on year, with the band consistently acclaimed as one of the best live outfits of their generation. Referring to their 2022 Wembley Arena concert The Times newspaper said, “back in fashion and on thrilling form.”

Having sold over 60 million albums, and achieving number one hits the world over, not only have Simple Minds become a must-see live act, they have rekindled the magic that made them a vital artistic force in their early days and a significant influence for a slew of younger artists. Their most recent and critically acclaimed album ‘Direction of the Heart’ reached number 4 in the UK album chart and top 10 in multiple territories. Reviewing the album, Mojo described the band’s energy as ‘undiminished’ whilst other critics praised the band’s endurance and consistent creativity.

As already announced, in January and February Simple Minds will headline the Summer Concert Tour in New Zealand and Australia’s Red Hot Summer Tour, followed by a nine-date Arena tour of the UK and Ireland in March.

More shows throughout the rest of the world will be announced soon. Across the whole Global Tour 2024 Simple Minds expect to play to over one million people worldwide.

“Concerts are the life blood of Simple Minds, it’s where we and our audience come alive and energised through music. Four decades on from when we first set out, this global tour will demonstrate that Simple Minds are still alive and kicking!”

Third Eye Blind Concert Setlists: What to Expect at the Summer Gods Tour

• Copied to Clipboard

Third Eye Blind will reign supreme on their upcoming Summer Gods Tour , the fourth of its kind in the last decade for the multi-platinum rock group. Along with first-time support from Yellowcard and A R I Z O N A , the new North American trek will offer a fresh Third Eye Blind setlist following their 2023 An Evening With excursion, which revitalized several classic cuts and introduced more surprise covers to the band’s live catalog.

Beginning in 2017, the Summer Gods series has grown to be the toast of 3EB’s touring history, previously celebrating the band’s 20th and 25th anniversaries while pairing the “Semi-Charmed Life” artists with the likes of Jimmy Eat World and Taking Back Sunday . Looking ahead, the latest leg has its own legacy to build while giving fans even more reasons to tell the band “Thanks a lot.”

Third Eye Blind Concert Setlist Info

The Third Eye Blind song list expanded massively during 2023, when the band performed a series of intimate shows that saw the revival of live rarities like “London” from their 1997 self-titled debut and “Deep Inside of You” from its 1999 follow-up Blue . Meanwhile, the group’s road-tested cover of Joy Division’s “Disorder” was joined by unexpected takes on Beyoncé , Sinéad O’Connor and more.

Of course, 3EB still leaves room for the hits, including “Jumper,” “Semi-Charmed Life” and “Never Let You Go.” However, if their previous 2023 run is any sign, fans will likely need to stick around through the encore to hear all of the band’s most-anticipated singles.

Below, find an average Third Eye Blind setlist from their 2023 live show, and check back to see updated setlist information as soon as the 2024 Summer Gods Tour begins in June.

Third Eye Blind’s 2023 Setlist:

• Thanks a Lot
