Simply Red: Live In London

Singer Mick Hucknell leads his band through nearly 30 hits from their back catalogue of smooth soul, in the comparatively intimate surroundings of the Lyceum Theatre, London. Filmed in September 1998, Simply Red’s core members are joined by a blistering horn section, and mix old favourites like ‘Holding Back the Years’ and ‘Stars’ with material from their latest album.From the Back Cover
Simply Red’s shows at the London’s legendary Lyceum Theatre reaffirmed Mick Hucknall’s mastery of delivering a live set, dominated by a vocal performance of peerless intensity and soulfulness. Backed by a twelve-piece band, which included a smouldering horn section and the enthralling sax of Ian Kirkham, Hucknall unrolled a litany of Simply Red classics alongside his newer material, which underlined the extraordinary number of successes which the group has enjoyed – a catalogue of hits unrivalled in modern British pop. The show was filmed in September 1998.
