This is Simply the best Simply Red concert to watch of all. I watch it over and over and over again and each time I do, it gets even better than before. Simply sublime. Every moment. Perfection.

[@karinheho5941]

2 Wochen vor diesen Auftritt war Simply Red in Berlin und spielte Picture Book als Starter. Wir warteten nach der Show auf Simply Red um Autogramme zu kriegen, da hatte ich die Gelegenheit ein paar Worte mit Mick zu wechseln. Ich sagte, das ich mich sehr gefreut habe Picture Book als 1. Song zu hören, das wäre ein guter Song zum Anfang. Mick fand das auch....ich bin dann als ich diese Show im TV sah vor Freude und Überraschung bald vom Sofa gefallen, als ich Picture Book wieder als 1Song hörte......

I saw SR at Lancashire Cricket ground in the early 1990s and they were brilliant. Mick is one of a few vocalists that sounds as good today (2024) as he did when the albums were recorded. Did you know all his performances on top of the pops were filmed with live (not miming) vocals!
