   Does he ever come to the USA, espe­cially San Fran­cisco. I missed him by a month in Lucca.. Your music is so romantic and really is a turn on. Thank you, good luck, and the best of health to all of you.

   After see­ing the Piazza Napo­leone in 2003 on our vaca­tion when Simply Red per­formed first time in Lucca, we were sure this time not to miss it by one day and took the trip from Ams­ter­dam for the Farewell Tour. A great con­cert on a small square in a beau­ti­ful old town in Toscane. The Opener at 21:30 was a suprise Out on the range and you could see that Mick was in good shape and had a lot of fun speak­ing flu­ently in Italian to the crowd. Kenji Suzuki had a great solo part in this song and kicked off stong. After Your Mir­ror where Mick had is funny moves hav­ing a mir­ror in his hands and Thrill me where Ian Kirkham took the stage with a great sax solo we run into a second suprise: To be With you not so often per­formed live. A slow down with Heaven ori­ginaly from the Talk­ing Heads. Mick was very enth­ousi­astic and let the crowd sing a long early. After the song that made him fam­ous Hold­ing back the years the crowd went crazy with Stars and all the seat­ers stand up and dan­cing along look­ing at the Stars in the clear Lucca Sky with still 29Celcius. Than Micks one liner “Album one track one, Have a lot a fun” with Come to my Aid. No back­ing vocals this Farewell Tour by the girls but the boys are doing fine. After Money’s and Sun­rise our favour­ite Fair­ground where the crowd always get crazy and Mick and the band as well. Although the Cuban ver­sion will never be topped it was still a great live per­form­ance. Ain’t that a lot of love, Some­thing got me star­ted and a great sing a long dur­ing If you don’t know me by know closed the night. A great Farewell and the whole band came for­ward to say good­bye. Our last show will be in Hol­land Gelre­dome Arnhem in decem­ber, but hope­fully we can make it to the Dutch Anti­lles on 4th of septem­ber dur­ing the 1st North Sea Jazz addi­tion in the swinging Cari­bean. That all have a great fare well and see Mick on solo later on (we saw his Solo suprise per­form­ance with Bill Wyman and the Rythm Kings in Ams­ter­dam Para­diso and really this is the thing he enjoys now the most in this new part of his career) Enjoy Simply Red’s Farewell.
