    It's called Here I go Again and its by Whitesnake.
    Ah, I remember that one! I listened a lot to it in the fall of 1987 which was also a very intensive era in my biography.


    "Don't you forget about me" is my favorite Simple Minds song.
    I love that one, too, along with several others. And yes, I remember it was on the "Breakfast Club soundtrack".

    I also love all the U2 songs, the older ones really take me back.
    Same here, I remember when "The Joshua Tree" was released, I think that was the spring of 1987. The first time I heard "With or Without You", I was in the bathroom of a motorway restaurant.

    It's funny that the Simple Minds and U2 were often compared to each other in the 80s. Maybe because they really had a political message in their songs. And both Jim Kerr and Bono were two of the most charismatic singers of that time. I still remember the Simple Minds performing at the Free Nelson Mandela concert when they sang Biko along with Peter Gabriel. Awesome!

    Have fun at the U2 concert!

    Kirsten just today I was looking at videos on YouTube from the Live Aid concert from 1985.
    There were so many great bands that played there including Simple Minds and U2. I wish I could have seen it live.
    You should check out some of the videos on YouTube just search for Live Aid or Simple Minds.
    U2 played another great concert in Barcelona tonight, I got to hear some of it live online including them playing Electrical Storm live for the first time.
    They will be playing in Germany later this summer, if you get a chance to get tickets you should go!
    They are such a great band to see live in concert.

    I'm sure U2 live is phantastic! I haven't been to concerns for many years due to back problems, but maybe I should give it another try.

    Isn't it great that you can see all the old stuff on youtube? Will go looking now!

    Wow, I guess I could spend hours on youtube, watching all this old stuff...

    I even found a video of one of my Simple Minds faves, Waterfront! The 80s were so cool!

    Wow, it seems a lot of us have the same taste in music! Nothing can beat the seventies, though!

    Taz-Zoey, if you like Whitesnake, you must also like Deep Purple? "A Child in Time" was the very first album I bought - 71 in Tenerife. My girlfriend and I had some visitors in our hotel room and we borrowed a record player from them and played that album full blast every day. LOL! Oh what memories! One of my favourite Deep Purple now is "Perfect Stranger"

    John (Jonza) was lucky though, during the eighties when he visited his mom in England, he also visited Alvin Lee, and Alvin took him to a Whitesnake concert, backstage and all, as Alvin is a good friend of Jon Lord. Ohh, if only I could have been there!

    U2 are absolutely one of best bands ever! Go to the concert, Kirsten!

    Don't know if my back would make it through a concert; also, it's a money thing these days...

    But I saw Simple Minds live in concert several times in the early 90s. An awesome experience!

    Yeah, it's expensive these days, isn't it! But while you're on Youtube, go and listen to "Riding with the King" by Clapton/BB King - it's great!!
