4.0 out of 5 stars A fulfilling live for the fans, January 15, 2004

This review is from: Simply Red - Home - Live in Sicily (DVD)

Watch the short interview with frontman Mick Hucknall's brief introduction to his latest live and career direction before you start on the show. You can easily relate comfortness and confidence to the established singer who hasn't lost the originality of his credit for the band yet still going creative from one album to another.

HOME LIVE IN SICILY is all about relax, be honest and offer the audience a great night to remember how the band had written so many beautiful songs in 2 decades to enchant the life of any ordinary people.

The opening track SOMEDAY IN MY LIFE is an Italian rendering of the original version, appropriately dedicated to the full, passionate Sicilian crowd. Dressed casually in a simple white short sleeved shirt with jeans may he had, Hucknall never slipped by any number of songs casually in the entire show. The Stylistic's YOU MAKE ME FEEL BRAND NEW is Hucknall's serious singing with energetic vocal power. Nonstop uptempo session of FAKE, THRILL ME to SOMETHING GOT ME STARTED reminds us the New Romantic band has still got what it takes to groove up the dance floor. At the end, FAIRGROUND and SUNRISE left the seemingly solemn audience in front seats all shake and twist themselves with anticipation to the funky live jazz music.

The bonus feature of this DVD is that it provides users 2 choices of viewing angle on the entire run of the concert, on condition than one's player is equipped with the angle function. Users can swop between the multi angle and the upfront angle on Hucknall (called Mick Cam here) any moment throughout the show.

For the fans who discovered Simply Red in early 90's till late, this DVD is fulfilling and worth collecting indeed.

This review is from: Simply Red - Home (Live in Sicily) (DVD)

This is without a doubt the best Music DVD of 2003. With it's stunning location and setting, this DVD will leave you enthralled. Mick Hucknall is at his best, with a voice that compliments a line up of fabulous musicians. The sound that fills this Greek theatre, in Taormina in Sicily is Simply Wonderful, with the Italian crowd enjoying every minute of it. It certainly makes a good nights viewing, and the songs, both old and new leave you wanting more. For anyone who has bought this DVD will agree, that this is one concert you'll want to watch over and over again. This DVD has been given high ratings all over the world, so for anyone who has not yet purchased a copy, get one now, you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mick+The Band=Perfect Chemistry-Take A New Listen, January 22, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Simply Red - Home - Live in Sicily (DVD)

Mick loves his audience. His gift of bringing good talent together to celebrate great compositions is making us FEEL BRAND NEW all over again. We've missed SR so much lately, and the recent world tour and new CD HOME and DVD LIVE IN SICELY bring us THE BOSS live and back into our lives. Fans, you won't be disappointed. New listeners will not only love these, but will purchase the 20 years of classic Simply Red music. Have a great time watching the Live concert in Italy on DVD. Mick will even speak to you in Italian! Loved It, you will too.
