Blue-eyed soul band Simply Red threw in the towel in 2010 after 27 years. During a Farewell Tour all hits were played again and a beautiful concert registration of a visit to Sydney followed (JKD6282). Less than a year after the release of that DVD, Simply Red releases Live At Montreux 2003. Also many hits on this DVD, but mostly from just after the turn of the century. The set list includes many
… songs from the successful album Home, to which Simply Red dedicated a tour at the time. As always, Mick Hucknall is great at voice and accompanied by a sublime backing choir, an intimate atmosphere is created that fits perfectly with the Montreux Jazz Festival. Because the band also paid a very successful visit to Montreux in 2010, seven songs from that concert have been added to the DVD. That makes this concert registration a nice gift for the loyal fans so soon after the farewell DVD. (BvdV)more
