Holding Back The Years: Live In Santiago

Last year, Simply Red celebrated four decades of classic hits and timeless music with a 40th anniversary world tour, performing to more than a million fans worldwide. Now, the band documents the most unforgettable tour of their career with the release of the multi-format "Holding Back the Years: 40 Years of Simply Red, Live in Santiago. " Originally released in cinemas last year, the film captures five sold-out shows at the Movistar Arena in Santiago, attended by 75,000 people. The performance lives up to the occasion, with Mick Hucknall's voice as soulful, powerful and full of emotion as ever, while the band's stellar musicianship brings every nuance of the original recordings to life. The setlist is a hit-packed crowd-pleaser, featuring 'Stars', 'Holding Back the Years', 'If You Don't Know Me By Now', 'Something Got Me Started', 'Fairground' and many more. The Santiago crowd lives up to it's reputation, taking the atmosphere to fever pitch throughout, bringing electrifying energy to the uptempo numbers as well as almost hymnal singing to the ballads. This release differs from the original theatrical version. It presents the live show uninterrupted from start to finish, with the in-depth interview footage of Mick Hucknall exploring the band's history moved to the DVD and Blu-ray bonus features. It was directed by Dan Massie (Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Sam Fender) and produced by Electric Light Studios in conjunction with Rippla and SimplyRed. Com.
