- Live performance from British band Simply Red, recorded at the Havana El Gran Teatro in Cuba in August 2005
I first saw this concert on TV and recorded it on Video. I was so enthralled with it as I really think it is the best concert Simply Red have ever done
I sit here listening to some music and Holding On plays. It’s such a great piece of music that I sit and play it over again and over again and again. It’s March3, 2024 and this is going strong!
You're very right about what you woke on the comm
Same here
This is real music, it stands the test of time
Me too!
@@stephenb.mashaya2446me too!
Mick sings with absolutely no effort, yet the power of his voice is The Best!!
0h
it takes effort, but he makes it look effortless !
Simply Red has a hell of a voice he is one of the greatest and a legend
Mick Hucknell?
I always thought that this wonderful singer was Simply Red. Never heard that his name is Mick Hucknall (sp) and that the group is Simply Red.
Concordo com você ❤.
See what he looks like now BIG DIFFERENCE
Thank God for artists like Simply Red, and his songs, so incredible good!
😊😊
Amazing ❤
I will keep holding on to love...someday
😪👍😁
Amo muito todas as Músicas ❤❤❤
Saw Simply Red live in december 2016. I'd bought two tickets and my hubby didn't want to see him live :( So, i took another friend, whose husband had died a year previously. We had a fantastic time and his voice is astonishing! So glad I didn't miss it. And very happy Mick's found a lovely wife and has kids now. He deserves every happiness!
I love this song❤ I've played it over and over again. I've been hurt over and over again. When does it end?? Gant get a break.

Some people are just plain stupid
Dicks ! One of the most soulful voices ever a legend in his own right wake up and realise what class means !
Hi from Aotearoa New Zealand....we love Simply Red downunder ..I know us Maoris do...Kia kaha
Simply Red reminds me of all the good and happy times I experienced in the eighty’s….. I didn’t realize how good they were…….
This is one of those rare, timeless songs that reminded you of what was to come before you actually lived it. Holding back the years came out when I was around 21. Even then, at such a young age, whenever I heard that song I knew it was speaking of things I would eventually experience later on in life.
Enjoy your days here on earth, tomorrow is never promised. I found this song about 2 years ago and each time I listen to it its like the first time all over again.
Io ,invece , ho sempre vissuta la canzone ed il momento non aspettandomi nulla in cambio. Lo adoro perché ci mette il ❤️ nelle musica e nelle parole, nel ritmo...... sensuale ,meraviglioso ❤❤❤🎉
Gorgeous. I hate being old but I love being old enough to remember this fabulous music. xxx
absolutely !!!
Indeed
Yes I feel the same 🥰
Wanna be young again,
Take care of somebody
older than you.
I took care of MOM& DAD for 15 years.
I'm 73 and full of joy.
MICK is a once in a
lifetime talent.AMEN😅
Simply Red, of the best 80's bands ever. His voice is crystal clear every song. This band is so tight and I must say one of the most impressive live versions that I have ever heard. They can Rock! But there music is just simply amazing! Love this band. Brings back days at the China Club In NY back in the 80's.
Ahh, yess..Monday nights!!😃✌❤🌞🌊
Simply red’s concert in my country Cuba in 2005 is the best version ever of all his hits with a Cuban symphony orchestra.Great Musicians.The guitarist Amazing the wind section terrific.The ladies with their extraordinary voices.The Cubans dancing away knowing all his song to my surprise.
Wonderful performance by Mick, but the orchestra adds to the awesomeness!
He is oozing talent, always has. He's amazing. His voice feels so right. I don't know how else to say. He's just the best.
I have loved this song ever since I 1st heard it yrs ago. It has a special place In my life. It's not going away.
I miss this kind of music and you. The memories make me cry, good times, exceptional music!
This was the 80s my dear... best times and definitely best music !!!
Not like today garbage!!!
@@avi23771 lpbyd
Yes, good memories....a good cry is good sometimes ❤
Amen
I have wasted many tears& years...I can relate.
The true musicians are timeless ❤️
Too True
@@neilmcgrory39❤ I think so❤

U r right
@@rosemarymorris245
New time...... Shit time (sorry)
The arrangements on this performance was just exquisite!!!
Es un privilegio haver disfrutado esta música tan especial los que vivimos en esa época, creo que somos afortunados escuchar esta voz tan hermosa
Excellente voix, un souvenir qui n en est plus un depuis longtemps. Sa voix est juste sublime. En plus il la varie volontiers. Sacré groupe et monsieur. Éternel à jamais. J adore ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The older i get,the more i appreciate this music.And Mick is phenomenal singer even at his age.
any age, any city, any country, any planet !!!
Yes, I agree
This is the type of music we will never have again . Sad. Most of the music you can’t even understand today . Love Simply Red.
Yo soy jóven, no llegué a disfrutar de la maravilla de música que había en otras épocas, esto es una joya, un tesoro. Lo que transmite este hombre es inigualable. No solo canta bien, tiene ángel!
Fijate si son joyas que siembre seran escuchadas y cuanto mas tiempo pasa mas se escuchan son obras maestras
tienes buen gusto
@@keilormiranda-solano793 gracias! 🥰
Concuerdo contigo...aunque no soy tan joven🤭ya que nací en 1987,en los 90's, tuve mucha influencia de música de los 80's también por mis hermanos mayores y entre esas joyas, la música de simply red y en especial la voz de éste gran artista 😍🥰❤️lo escuché por primera vez con "holding back de years" y me enamoré de su voz y todo lo que transmite. Larga vida para Mick😊
@@almasalazar6185yo escuché "you make me feel brand new" y siempre me gustó él, es demasiado bonito y talentoso!❤y luego de años me hice fan de sus otras obras, en fin, son genioss❤
I was born in 1991 and my dad introduce to the 1980's music and then i found 60s music and ❤ love them classic music treasure 70s rock and 80s i also love the 90s and early 00s music has change not clean or drugs ,sexaul related .anymore what a shamed
You are 💯 % correct. 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's... Best music ever. 2,000's hit and music got ugly. So sad the world is terribly messed up now!
Omg… brings me back a few decades , good old memories love this ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Erinnerungen an alte Zeiten, ich muss gestehen da kamen ein paar Tränen. Einfach schön. Gruß aus Germany, Dieter

Simplesmente beira a perfeição. A perfeição só em DEUS, mas é simplesmente maravilhoso esse conjunto da obra. O intérprete nos leva a uma viagem pela imaginação de tudo que há de melhor e mais romântico, a banda em perfeita harmonia, magnífico. Gratidão.
Spectacular performance! Bravo!!!!!

This has the uniquely Carribean tempo, beat, soul, just love the muffled trumpet sound.
That's all I have to say....

Wow...this bossa nova rhythm was wonderful...👏👏
What a beautiful song, done by a very talented singer. Great words, how true. 🎶
Fantastic! The backing really lifted these songs to a new dimension.
white people love when white people sing black music... still they have to get black people to give it some authenticity... they all do it.
Music is a passion cry of the heart...the sound becomes the action...love is a verb!
@@andiidoode sorry you feel that way..may you feel the true meaning of love & music.
@@andiidoode good music is good music. Colour has nothing to do with it

I remember when I was young, my mom loved Dean Martin because she said he opened his mouth and without any effort the music rolled out, that is what I see with Mick. No effort, just rolls out. Luv it Mick ❤❤❤❤
Simply red is simply brilliant I will never stop listening to this fantastic band ✌️❤👍🫶
He still sounds as great as he did back when he first dropped this great ballad . A masterpiece and timeless
This guys voice has stayed the same over the years. Unlike these groups of today.
Wish we had more passionate music like him❤❤❤❤
Such a unique voice, 80's legend 🎤🎶
Agree! And so expressive with great rhythm!
He carries it so well 30 years later
Pretty good in the 90's with "Stars".
Every time I listen to this, I enjoy it. Has more meaning as time goes on.

Only knew this song as a house music remix…. A new friend played it for me last night and just eff’d me up completely. I’m in a very fragile place and this song just hits different now. Re-listening this morning as the sun peeks over the eastern hills. Crying my heart out. Beautiful.
Love it❤what a good singer and very good band🎉and musical arrangements are fabulous❤

I needed that guys ... am all snotty faced remembering a loved one
Love the song holding back the years at 76 makes me cry a little but l try and not dwell in the pass years
I'm 67 and feel the same
Holding back the years
Thinking of the fear I've had so long
When somebody hears
Listen to the fear that's gone
Strangled by the wishes of pater
Hoping for the arms of mater
Get to me the sooner or later, oh
Holding back the years
Chance for me to escape from all I know
Holding back the tears
'Cause nothing here has grown
I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all those years
Nothing had the chance to be good
Nothing ever could, yeah, oh
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on, so tight
Alright, oh now
Well, I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all of those years
And nothing had the chance to be good
'Cause nothing ever could, oh yeah
Oh
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
Holding
Holding
Holding
Holding, la-la-la, la, la-la
I said, ooh, yeah
That's all I have today
It's all I have to say..NoWar...
Thank you for the lyrics ❤
"Truly beautiful version of a classic song, indeed".. " Simply Red, you've done it again!! " ... Blessings always , Ms. Deborah Steele - 11/02/21
Beautiful! Those beautiful black ladies are birds. The violines are from heaven.
What a beautiful song that gives me goosebumps. They did it so well even better than the original track. Whoa!!!...
I agree with you on that
me too!
I prefer the original.
I don't care how many times they change lead singers,they still nail it ❤❤😊🎉😊my Temps old n new
