- Simply Red perform LIVE at the magnificent Sydney Opera House during the Farewell Tour in 2010.
Bursting out of Manchester in the Eighties, Simply Red pioneered a distinctively British soul sound that captivated music lovers for 25 years. Now, as the final curtain comes down on the Simply Red era, this concert gives fans a last chance to re-live highlights of a career that yielded over 50 million album sales and a raft of chart-topping singles. Filmed at Sydney Opera House on the Farewell Tour in October 2010, it captures a group at the peak of their powers. Backed by a magnificent six-piece band, frontman Mick Hucknall's vocal performance shows once again that he has one of the finest voices of his generation.

Damn....
He still sounds like he is 20 ... Great voice....
"Nothing had the chance to be good, nothing ever could ".
He? I thought Simply Red was a band
How far he gets from the microphone, what raw talent
@@ElvarMassonMick Hucknall..He is Simply Red though..Kind of synonymous
The man can wail......
He wrote this beautiful and sensitive song when he was 17 years old.Absolutely amazing❤
must've been that old when i first heard it
damn..
@@davidevans3227 I think I was about 14
when this came out as well.
He knew the bs from the bottom jo and Co 😊.
Greetings from Ballyforan hq of "Operation Shamrock ☘ 20,21,22,23,24, ".
Where Truth lives.
😊😅❤
Great as ever. Thank you. I am 68 and STILL HOLDING ON.
You're a Spring chicken ... here's to holding on to at least 20 more years.
❤
So true ❤
Great voice after all these years. 76 STILL HOLDING ON
77 still holding..and Rocking on!
I am 52 and rising... I've listened to a lot of vocals through the years. This is UNEQUIVOCALLY the best vocals of ANY professional "aging" singer I've heard! Simply amazing and inspiring! Well done!
Simply Brilliant 👏 ❤👏
Have a look at Live at Daryl's House.
Amazing, as is this, goosebumps
Stay Safe Stay Free
Kodos
Listen to Frank and Dean, in their 60's. Then explain your lame comment.
these are amazing musicians. His voice is so controlled, so rich, he's great-
Im actually astonished at how perfect his voice still is. He sounds exactly like he did in the 80s.
Yep!!!
he probably took good care of it. no smokes
Sim! Cheguei a exclamar em voz alta. Como soa límpida essa voz!
I was thinking exactly the same 😎
Sounds exactly the same, as if those forty years gone by was just yesterday, remarkable voice, remarkable memories
40 yrs later, spot on vocally...no theatrics, PURE SINGING..
Todays trash will never do anything near this. No popular artist for sure. But there’s some kid in their basement who’s next level. Just waiting for their break.
Not 40 years this was 2010
One of the greatest voices I have ever heard. And to think, he wrote that song when he was 17! Absolutely amazing.
Yes I still Play Simply Red album ❤
SIMON COWEL COMMENTED THAT HE HAS A PERFECT FULL RANGE VOICE
I've never seen ANYONE sing a song that good 35 years after they recorded it. His voice is amazing.
I generally agree. Yes' Jon Anderson is also an exception.
Wow 🥂❤️❤️🎶🎵👍🙏
I agree with you!
I've never seen someone sing the same song in 2020 and.it still sounds the same as in the 80's!!! Love you Simple Red, and I always will.!!! Love you, Betty
This guy is simply perfect
The years have moved on for us all.... but talent is talent, and fabulous music lives on forever.
It is Musik and clear.😂
He still sounds as great as he ever did.
Simply Red is a good band
As so many here have noted, Mr. Hucknall's voice has remained remarkably unchanged, but what I love is that he ALWAYS gives this song the respect that it deserves. He never effs with the arrangement and performs every note, capturing the nuance of the original recording. I still always think of the original video where he is roaming the English countryside with suitcase in hand.
Well said 👍
I totally agree, his voice sounds like 25’years ago !
@@Mikimikey It's a glorious performance, and even more so when you realize how, as a 17 year old, he wrote those words thru the emotional pain of the loss of his mother and the stress between him and his father. (Not that stress between father and son is unique to him...)
Red iz not simple..happened 2 b there. Love, Karita.
One should never change something that is perfect the way it is.
The strength in that voice hasn’t diminished one bit! Bravo 👏
This is real music. Not that crap nowdays with all the special tools to alter the voice and sounds. This guys voice ages like fine wine.
Takes one back to a time when music was cherished
This man has a voice exactly the same with the CD's of him. Perfect !!!
What do you think about the band?
And album ❤
@@ElvarMassonHis Band reminds Me of the Sade Band absolutely amazing.Peace
Omg I'm so lucky to have lived with this musical talent.
Mick Hucknall’s voice ranks in my top 5 of all time male vocalist ever ! Powerful, clear and a range thats haunting. Pure gold!
Hunting or haunting?
@@jbm8444 fixed it 😂👍
Yes Absolutely I still play that Album ❤
He has great stage presence and sounds just as good as the day the song was written.
One of these things making the world a better place.
Masterful performance. The fact that a singer likely in his 60's would put to shame most singers of today speaks volumes of the talent from the 80's and earlier. 😊
❤
God, his voice doesn't get deteriorated after all those years,
it's a miracle!
Leprechauns age well..lol
Yes lip sinking does that, only joking he is bloody good
This was 9 years ago
@@ryancang3627 I know, it's a live from 2011, but he was already 50 at that time.
He started his career in the late 70's, considering major part of the singers start to have some problem with their vocal cords in their 40s, some in their 30s already, he is one of the rare singers.
You can check the live from November last year.
ruclips.net/video/l7GnVHmTiI8/видео.html
Now he is singing in a way not putting too much burden on the vocal cords,
but hey, he can still hit the high notes, and he can sing through to the end of the live. I think he is one of the blessed singers.
Sorry for the long comment. 😅
He didn't waste all those years!
Still gives me all the feels... 25+ years later... amazing song and voice!
I’m 65 and feel 21🙏❤️💐
Yes. They kept playing this song when I was in labor with my daughter. It reminds me of her❤. She was born in 1988. We knew I’d have to have a c-section. They just left me in there in labor. Still, this song gives me all the feels.
notice how us oldies have lived (and are still living!!) through the best...
One of the BEST songs ever made!
There are not a lot of songs that are ageless. This is one of those songs that could have been recorded yesterday and would still be a huge hit, no doublt.
As Peter Kay might say... He sounds "exactly" the same!
Brilliant voice.
What do you think about the band?
What a pleasure to listen to a voice that doesn't need a lot of sound behind it to cover it up...
What do you think about the band?
Such a beautiful performance. Take notes young people, this is what talent sounds like.
This dudes voice hasn’t changed one bit...love his voice
EXCELLENT😍😍😍😍😍
Indeed🕴️💃🎶He has still a strong and clear voice! He has really a soulful feeling🎙️🎶
I think hes miming! Ive got this song
@Paul Goodier
I got that song and 20? years later he sounds EXACTLY (in parts) the same??
@@alphillips5478 At first I thought so as well, just being honest. I'm convinced it is his live vocals. His voice just rocked me, hard.
His vocal control is amazing
What do you think about the band?
He still has the same crispy and clear voice, l guess he keeps still holding on for all these years.
Great voice.
His voice and this song is a gift to the world.
After so many years he STILL sounds the same like the record...EPIC !!!!!!
Yikes. This was in 2010.
@@sarawood2558 ya know, I was thinking the same thing. Depending on your state of mind when listening to it, it make you very happy, or, make you cry. Having one of those now, oh well....😀
Magic ❤
I can't get enough of hearing this song.
In my opinion its so real for this present time.
For me I'm holding on to Christ.
Amen
His voice is stronger than ever before. Remarkable that this man can still belt out those notes and tones.
What do you think about the band?
Damn! What a voice after 35 years means “clean”. ❤️
Thank you, Mr Hucknall, for graciously sharing your beautiful vocals and musical talent with us all these years. You still have the golden voice.
One of the most iconic voices of pure singing talent in the universe! Love Mick! Just hearing him sing puts me in a good mood!!!
An inspiring song for us during this pandemic “ Holding on the years “Terrific singer and band what a talent a song writer a musician a stage singer a terrific band they work together well
Love this song, his voice is magical, kind of wish it was a bit longer, almost seems too short

@@simply_Red_1 Ich liebe eure Songs.👍👍👍
Amazing he wrote this song when he was 17. Great song and he still enjoys singing it
Beautiful! Makes me sad as I’m old . I feel I’ve wasted all the years but I’ll still keep holding on
Just love this guy and love his songs. Wish he would like more songs like this again. Would love to go to his concert now! 2019
Loved that voice since mid 80's. Xxx
He started writing it at 17 but actually finished it at 24, a song about leaving home.
Written in relation to his mum leaving when he was a toddler...
To sing with the microphone so far away from his mouth speaks volumes to his vocal volume projection range in distance sense. Impressive indeed. Holding Back The Years. After all these years, I’m much older now but this keeps me feeling younger. Remember the years for as long as you can.
Omg wow, he sounds exactly the same. Very few singers sound the same live and not only that it's like 30 years older. Just amazing wow
when you write a song like that at 17........ God gifted you.
Steven Griffin No gods, just pure talent.
why is everything good a gift from god? did god gift us COVID19 as well ? Lets just enjoy the music without proselytising ok?
@politically incorrect exactly , everything comes from god, as long as it good yes? nasty rape, diseases, murder, theft, being molested as a child, tsunamis , earthquakes , pandemics they are not .
Got it.
beautiful gift. the world can get to listen to..
Amen ❤️
Black Soul in a real redhead. Man, man, man..... what a gifted artist.
Soul has no color 💯
No baby! redheads have their own fire and soul.
@@MsFlame2000 I know as a blackhaired Indonesian Dutchman, married with a redhead and having 2 redhead daughters. They sure have their own fire:) and soul......
👊🏾🤗🇧🇷
What an amazing performance! Not many singers can sing so well live.
Magical
Je l adore tout simplement.❤
There are no words to describe how magical this is ❤️
Look how far he holds the microphone from his mouth when he hits the high places. His voice is. that powerful for him to have to do that. What a voice!
Talk about aging gracefully❤️ His voice is incredible💙
Excelente voz mantiene este Sr. No pierde una nota
He's still ugly
@@mark-wn5ek and still a jealous jerk-off
@@mark-wn5ek YOU MUST REALLY BE AN UNHAPPY PERSON. GET SOME HELP!
@@lolap3667 if I could give your comment infinite likes I definitely would do that. ✌🏾👍🏾
This song is an Art piece
I can listen to it over and over and love it even more. comforting the tough life.....
Yes, yes it is. I do listen about once a month just to keep sane....
This live version is better than the studio version
Yes he's good
Yes he has a calming voice. It's only love doing it's thing"...
"It's only love doing it's thing" 💘
He sounds better than anyone I've seen sing live. Loving this video 💞
Mick's voice live is insanely good. This is live music kids. He's not using any plugins. He's actually, you know, singing.
100% u r right . Live he's one of best singer
I know right 😂
The auto-tune is fantastic
E'UNA GRAN VOCE E UN GRANDE GRUPPO
@@briank10101 you have no idea, seen him live before auto tune wasn’t around then, get your head out of your cynical arse.😂
Long live Mick Hucknall & his songs, especially this one.
Hago un llamamiento y una observación y cuando van a presentar a su l vocalista su banda,es tan humilde usted ,qes el más importante en su grupo .q ellos también lo presenten!ok??
@@jannetcossio3083 Su interpretación es muy personal y saca de contexto el comentario, cual es el de reconocer la voz y el estilo de Mick Hucknall. Long live!
@@enriquemoliterno538yo creo cuando el vocalista termina de presentar a su banda lo más lógico también es presentar a su vocalista q,es una pieza importante de la banda y nunca he visto q lo presenten a Mick Hucknall también ,uno de su grupo,
Idol
@@denzelcalara9216 53
I always say a true star with raw talent has that distinctive voice that stands out and gives you goose bumps......and here is one of those voices. ❤
His voice has not changed a milimeter !!! Amazing how far he places the mic from his mouth !!!
Great control and mic work, yes.
True
The old boy still sounds great.
When I travel overseas: His voice, so delighted, enters through my ears and that is "BREATHLESS"
Such a beautiful reaction humans can have to another human's voice. Listen to that crowd. Love and appreciation for this man's incredible voice.
I was there, it was a wonderful atmosphere and to be honest the location is impeccable just like his voice. I have been a big fan for over 25 years and I still can’t get enough of Simply Red and Mick’s beautiful voice. It truly is a gift
Sometimes it's the little things..Love how the audience helps him sing his songs..:)..!!!
Yes.good good.
he still has it after all these years, impressive.
Well... that’s because he’s been holding back the years, ya silly goose.
He sure do this song help me a lot 🥰
Amen!
The guy is a master artist, he sings it almost exactly like the original studio recording, as vibrant as ever.
His voices are still so perfect, real singing and no autotune crap, the real thing..
How is it possible to sing on an album with all the tricks of the trade and still sound the same if not better than the original live on stage What a voice
. What a song ❤️
Im turnig 70 soon and i still love Micks music and always will hes the greatest❤
Oh holy that voice 😢 You are priceless. Absolutely beautiful
Великолепен
This man was blessed with a wonderful voice!
Audrey, you're right: it's a gift.
Indeed!!!
He was born a singer and to bring so much pleasure to millions off people
Fuck how does he still sound like that!!! I'm such a huge fan... wish I were there 😍😍😍
Me too Love Simply Red still play that Album
This is still one of my favorite songs from my youth in the late 1980's...I was 19 when I first heard the original video on MTV...Vintage music..great message.
❤❤🎉
Il sublime ses musiciens quel Amour. Oh là là v J adore.🙌
80's or 2010, his voice is tight af! Really amazing! Same for the singer of ac/dc. True class!
Spine chillingly good. This must be the sound track to many people’s lives.
Alison's you know it. Definitely my life soundtrack We all love this song. It's so deep and moving. Take care. Keep holding on.
Love this song
Voix magnifique grand artiste
You know you listening to a masterpiece when that one tear just rolls down your face without effort.
His voice is so good at 'holding back the years.'
Truly a song for these times...May 25, 2020...pandemic.

April Nowak-Tolen
Thank you my Sister.. 🙋🏽♀️ in Faith!!
you are wonderful my pretty friend
🇧🇷🎵🎶😄
Absolutely nailed it..his voice has not diminished one bit
Saw him live two years ago and couldn't believe his voice . It was just the same as 20 years ago amazing
Il est un médicament pour moi un guerrier guérisseur. Je l adore simplement red
I had to watch this again......Amazing his voice hasn't changed.....After All These Years
His voice sounds just as perfect as it did 20 years ago
No changes at all ,.... Simply Red
Uh, 30 + years ago.
sure it's live?
Mania28 rd Was thinking the exact same.
Old fart like me... 1971
This song is always a master piece even in 2022 . I love this group 😍
Only been to one Simply Red concert maybe 27 years ago in Glasgow and remember it like it was last week. The vocals and the band were just brilliant …. What a great night that was.
I was in a bar called Gatsby's in Anaheim cal,when the band announced they had a special guest doing a set...New capital one recording artist,Simply Red...I had never heard of them...They got up and played a 45 minute set...I was completely blown away with the vocals...Ran right out next day and bought his new release...been one of my favorites since his dayview...Amazing talant... absolutely captivating....
Original recording is a masterpiece and this is too.
One of my most favorite songs. Beautiful lyrics, melody, and his voice is amazingly gorgeous!
Very few songs can match or surpass the impact of the original release especially when performed live. This song does that. It is visceral.
Simply Red, Simply Beautiful.
Simply Perfect
I,',m so glad
WOW!!!! Clear and strong!!! Fantastic!!! All these years later still POWERFUL !!!!
His voice is amazing!! Him singing this song at 17 his voice sounds the same as him singing it now, which is incredible. God bless!!
I wasted all my years looking for the right woman to come into my life . But I won't give up because I know she's out there .
Amen ❤❤❤
Classic song..so beautiful..wish music was still as pure as this ❤🎶🎶💯
Beautiful...........................Simply Red.................................................and all Musicians................................................................
SIMPLY RED “ KEEP HOLDING ON”” what a classic
This is probably the only singer in the planet that can sound live exactly like the CD, or even better.
George Michael and Sade could and can
@Archive of The Unknown Who, are you joking??
try Donna Summers also
Still here April 2021. Covid times.
Miss the time when life was easier.
I would have loved to have been there that night.
Bravo!
I could listen to him sing. All night long.what.a beautiful ❤️ voice. this song.makes you think.about.your life.
all i can think about is full stops.
Staggering, he still puts it out as good as he did 35 odd yrs ago!!
And I am still cracked out on this dude and this song... Just like when I was a kid listening to it in D.C. Believe or not, this song was totally wore out on the radio back then! Yep, Black folks loved the hell out of this song!👍🏾🎶
Jeeeesshhhhh you trippin’ dawg?
Beautiful... voice is as gold as always !!!
Adoro essa música
Do you think mick hucknall and rod stewart could sing together ? I think they are both such an inspiration in the modern world.
Mick Hucknall even after 25 years, simply the best.
I had the lucky privilege to see Simply Red years ago at the old Round House...
Ahh, memories.
Still.loving in 2019.So thankful I grew up in the 70 and 80s
Tammy Lynn SO TRUE Tammy, I also grew up then. Those were the BEST times huh? The music was & IS legendary🙂mick’s voice DIDNT age at all👏👍✌️☝️
Me too!!!!
Tammy Lynn, blessed
Tammy Lynn Me too!!
U bet gal
I'm just blown away that his voice sounds just as wonderful as it did all those many years ago. Absolutely incredible!!! A timeless song and singer. Damn Red! You've certainly held back the years when it comes to your voice. Timeless!!!!!
There are only 2 songs in the entirety of music that makes me teary, this is one of them.
What's the other?
@@dylanvieira9152 'Babys got back' by Sir mixalot i think.
He still has the golden pipes. Nailed it. 👍
You held back all those years Mick. The voice remained the same. No gimmicks. I felt like I was listening to the original recording. Simply magnificent.
Did not realize this was simply red. I’m a true fan now.
After years Mick has the same fantastic voice. Just awesome ❤️
