"Now I have reviewed and attended numerous live concerts, and this one, I consider it just a masterpiece. First of all, eventhough this concert took place in 1992 in Hamburg, Germany, this new special edition DVD was released in 2005, utilizing High-Definition wide-screen transfer, as well as remastered Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound, with multiple camera editing. Fine. But what about the performance? A masterpiece. The original band members were at their peak, as well as band leader Mick Hucknall. The stage presence and musicianship is just superb. This show performance is much better than the "Live in London" DVD, and just as lively and outstanding as the "Live in Sicily" DVD. I enjoy live performances and this DVD does it all. It will make your Home Theater system outshine and clearly demostrate that Simply Red crosses all boundaries and feelings with enduring musicianship. As you can tell, it is highly recommended!"

"Here's the actual back cover text and track listing:



In January 1992 Simply Red set off on tour. They had just released their 4th album "Stars." In the 14 months that followed, they played 131 shows to 1.5 million people and sold 9 million albums around the world.



This extraordinary film captures Simply Red in concert in Hamburg at the peak of their success on this sell-out tour. It features songs ranging from the band's early hits "Holding Back the Years" and "Money's Too Tight (To Mention)" to "Thrill Me," "For Your Babies," and "Something Got Me Started" from the "Stars" album.



With 9 new songs not included on the original video version, and newly remastered to high-definition and 5.1 surround sound for DVD release, it also includes exclusive behind-the-scenes interviews with the band's singer, songwriter, and driving force, Mick Hucknall, further interviews with band members and with other key collaborators shed light on the enduring popularity of one of the world's most successful groups.

"I made the best decision when I bought this DVD. "Stars" is definitively the best Simply Red album, so the concert based on it's songs and other of their hits is surely a must have. Mick Hucknall's performance is superb, natural, clean, energizing, enervating and the audience gave him an enthusiastic feedback. I highly recommend it.
