5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Amazing, 28 Dec 2005
By Richard (Axminster, Devon United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
If you buy no other music DVD this year make sure that you have this one.
Set in Old Havana's beautiful Gran Teatro on a warm August evening the packed theatre is full of anticipation as Mick Hucknell walks onto a deserted stage apart from his pianist to sing "A Song For You," you might be forgiven to think it might look a bit desperate but suddenly the lights shine on a young string section gleaned from the Havana orchestra who sound like silk and accompany Hucknell perfectly.
As the concert developes the stage and background transform slowly with scenery being added on with each song. Simply Red join Mick Hucknell on stage and they must be one of the best bands he has ever assembled. The rythm section are tight the horn section laid back. Kenji Suzuki plays a brilliantly seductive guitar and the backing singers so accomplished.
The concert is more or less in two halves slow ballads to begin with like a tempting treat of chocolates
The "second" part begins with "Sad old Red," played in a very swinging jazz mode. This followed by the evocative "Holding Back The Years" to a latin rythm that has the enthusiastic audience dancing in the aisles. Bunny Wailer's "Love Fire" gives Hucknell a chance to harmonise perfectly with his backing singers and the audience love it. This is followed by the Hall and Oates sounding "Sunrise" the electric atmosphere of the auditorium penetrates from the concert through the TV screen.
As the first bars of "Perfect Love" play on stage on come a group of young Cuban female dancers of the contemparory dance institute of Havana. The whole spectacle is vibrant with colour superb dancing and of course Mick Hucknell's voice which has never sounded better.
A trio of young horn players from Havan augment the band and the 24 year old trumpeter has to be heard to be believed.
"Fairground" is next and now the male dancers join the girls, and if anyone has ever seen Cuban Ballet they know what to expect. The routine,timing vividness compliment this great song perfectly.
The latin rythms have got the whole place dancing and "Something got me Started" Cuban style is a knockout.
After thanking the orchestra, band, dancers and the "public" Mick Hucknell finishes with "If you don't know me by now" a perfect end to a perfect concert. I hope Simply red go back again.
The production of this dvd is first class, the sound is of the highest quality as is the photography. It is accompanied by a pleasant documentary on how the concert was put together and a walkabout through old Havana. There is also a video of "Perfect Love."
I can thoroughly recommend this dvd as a refreshing tonic to all the gloom and bigotry in the world. It will make you feel happy and will definitely put a smile on your face. Buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply reignited, 10 Jan 2006
By A Customer
I always had a softspot for Simply Red and up until recently I'd forgot all about them. Then the BBC showed this concert over the Christmas holiday and was blown away by it. I hooked up my digibox to the hifi system and was mesmerised. Even though it wasn't 5.1 surround, the sound quality was just amazing for a live performance - the full range of acoustics and tones were explored. The concert starts in a more relaxed, subtle fashion and at first I thought it was going to be like this all the way through. I was wrong! Mick Hucknall lit up the stage and so did the rest of his musicians and dancers. The Cuban flavour of the music was particularly good and seemed an unlikely combination at first but soon made sense. It left quite an impression on me after I saw it and wanted to know where to buy it. Amazon obliged. Now I can't resist listening to their greatest hits CD until I see this concert once again.
