Simply Red played the Sydney Opera House on Valentine’s Day 2010 as part of their Farewell Tour, and the setting couldn’t have been more fitting for a band whose catalog is built on longing, warmth and emotional precision. Mick Hucknall’s voice moves through the full set with effortless range, from the quiet ache of “Holding Back the Years” to the soulful peaks that made ‘Stars’ one of the best-selling albums of the 1990s, all framed by a live ensemble and one of the world’s great concert halls glowing over Sydney Harbour.
