36 years ago this week, Simple Minds released the single "Don't You (Forget About Me)." The song was written by a producer and musician for the soundtrack to the film "The Breakfast Club," and they pitched it to Simple Minds to perform and record. The band initially declined and the song was then offered to Bryan Ferry, Billy Idol and The Fixx, though they all passed. Eventually, Simple Minds' lead vocalist Jim Kerr took the advice of his wife, Chrissie Hynde from The Pretenders, and reconsidered. The film became a major hit and its success propelled the soundtrack into the top 20 of Billboard's Hot 200 album chart. "Don't You (Forget About Me)" became Simple Minds' only #1 song in the U.S. and was an international hit. That year, the band performed to bigger crowds than ever before, including this Jam Productions concert at the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis. . #simpleminds #concert #billyidol #bryanferry #breakfastclub #nostalgia #dontyouforgetaboutme #soundtrack #jamusa #orpheumtheatre

Here’s a Top 25 list of Chicago concerts Jam has produced on this day in history including Rod Stewart, Duran Duran, and Queen.

Roxy Music wasn’t necessarily a chart-topping band when it came to radio hits, but you wouldn’t know that if you lived in Chicago. WXRT had been playing them from the start, and by the early 1980s a day might not pass without a few spins of Roxy Music tunes on the station. Over the course of just a couple of years, a succession of tracks including “Jealous Guy,” “More Than This,” “Avalon,” “The Main Thing” and “Like a Hurricane” gave them firm footing in the Chicago market, and by the time their 1983 tour swung through they drew nearly 10,000 people to the UIC Pavilion. Fans who were fortunate enough to catch this show would have to wait another 18 years before the band would return again. . #tickettuesday #ticketstub #roxymusic #bryanferry #concert #throwback #80smusic

Between 1975 and 1978 Jam promoted a bunch of shows with Rush in Chicago, but we also booked concerts with them in a handful of other Midwest markets, including Schererville IN, Lansing MI, Davenport IA, Hammond IN, Springfield IL and Muskego MI. All of these shows were within striking distance for hardcore fans willing to take a rock and roll road trip.

In the first leg of Queen’s “The Game Tour” they played a Friday night show at the Rosemont Horizon, and the timing couldn’t have been better. Queen already had a long string of popular albums and hit songs in their canon, and that alone would have guaranteed a full house at the arena, but in the late summer of 1980 the ticket sales for the tour got an extra boost from their latest single, “Another One Bites The Dust.” By the night of the show, that song was firmly ensconced in the Top 10 charts for pop, rock and soul music. It was an international hit and would climb to #1 just a couple of weeks later. Chicago had long been one of the band’s best markets for concert performances and record sales, and Brian May acknowledged that from the stage when he called the crowd, “One of the best rock and roll audiences in the country.” Amongst those in the audience that night was the music critic from The Chicago Tribune, who wrote, “(Queen’s) shows continue to stack up as some of the most spectacular in rock.” . #queen #queenband #anotheronebitesthedust #thegametour #freddiemercury #concert #rosemonthorizon #bohemianrhapsody #80s #ticketstub #tickettuesday
