Simple Minds - their first album, as of now - never played


Simple Minds - their first album, as of now - never played.  From 1979, Life in a Day.  More than just the Breakfast Club tune - they are my wive's favorite band.  A poor-man's U2?  I enjoy almost every song of theirs.  Highly polish, post-punk.  We got to see them a few years ago at a very small, very intimate, and very famous venue in Chicago called Metro.  The building also contains the Smart Bar.  Here is clip of the place, by a band called Oasis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNMygbKekw0  Note the Marshall Stacks.  RIP, Jim.  Heaven now goes to Eleven.
