Celebrating four decades of classic hits, Holding Back the Years: Live in Santiago captures Simply Red’s 40th anniversary world tour at its most powerful and emotionally charged. Originally released in cinemas, the film documents five sold‑out shows at the Movistar Arena in Santiago, performed before 75,000 fans. Mick Hucknall’s voice is in exceptional form — soulful, commanding and full of nuance — while the band delivers every classic with precision and warmth.
This edition presents the uninterrupted live show exactly as performed, with the extended interview footage moved to the Blu‑ray and DVD bonus features. Directed by Dan Massie and produced by Electric Light Studios with Rippla and SimplyRed.com, this is the definitive visual record of Simply Red’s milestone tour.
The 2‑disc digipack includes both Blu‑ray and DVD versions of the concert, plus a 16‑page full‑colour booklet featuring photography from the 40th anniversary tour.
