Holding Back The Years : Live In Santiago

Description

In 2025, Simply Red celebrated forty years of timeless hits with a world anniversary tour, bringing together over a million fans across the globe. Today, the band immortalizes this memorable tour with the release of « Holding Back the Years : 40 Years of Simply Red, Live in Santiago », a multi-format album. This live recording captures five sold-out concerts at the Movistar Arena in Santiago, in front of 75,000 spectators. The performance lives up to the occasion: Mick Hucknall's voice, still as powerful and expressive as ever, is enhanced by the exceptional talent of the musicians who bring every nuance of the original recordings to life. The setlist, a true concentration of hits, includes « Stars », « Holding Back the Years », « If You Don't Know Me By Now », « Something Got Me Started », « Fairground » and many others. The Santiago audience lives up to its reputation, raising the temperature a notch throughout the concert. It infuses an electrifying energy into the upbeat tracks and sings the ballads with an almost religious fervor.
