Simply Red - Live In London was recorded in September 1998 at the Lyceum Theatre in London. It shows off much of Simply Red's astonishing body of work, and shows it off very well. The majority of the first half of the show is comprised of newer songs, with the older classics making an appearance during the second half.

Simply Red has a unique sound amongst today's mainstream music; their soulful, complex music sits somewhat uneasily in the Top 40 against the multitude of covers and rip-offs that comprise the majority of the Top 40 these days. Perhaps I am showing my age, but give me the soulful mellowness and subtle complexity of Holding Back The Years any day as compared to recycled trash like The Fugees or Will Smith.
