Rating: - The Moody Blues was a great group
The Moody Blues, what a group they were, before Mike Pinder left.
These are fantastic Moody Blues albums. Then they took a tumble.
· 1965: The Magnificent Moodies
· 1967: Days of Future Passed
· 1968: In Search of the Lost Chord
· 1969: On the Threshold of a Dream
· 1969: To Our Children's Children's Children
· 1970: A Question of Balance
· 1971: Every Good Boy Deserves Favour
· 1972: Seventh Sojourn
This DVD shows what happens to many big hit groups over time. A sad performance by one of the greatest rock groups ever. Could they even get a gig as a warm up band for someone like the Rolling Stones today? The Moodies at Vegas should be their next venture. Out of respect to a one time great band, I give them three flaming chilies.
Rating: - Moody Memories
Always nice to see the Moodies. Would have been nice to see more of Ray Thomas playing tamborine,bored. Memories are great. To see and hear them is always a treat. Not too crazy about the back-up girls,though. If you are a fan,then you will get a kick out of this video.
Rating: - Did I see the same show?
I recently purchased this DVD and I have to say I am a bit puzzled at some of the negative comments that I have read here. I have to wonder do I have the same DVD as these folks do? I thought it was great!! Yes there seemed to be some sort of technical stuff going on with the mics on a couple of the early songs, but it straightened itself out and sounded fine the rest of the show. But overall I thought it was a wonderful concert. I especially loved seeing John "show-off" his incredible rhythm while dancing about the stage before & during the encore of RMSS. IMO, this version of 'Ride My See-saw' is the best "modern" live rendition I have yet to see/hear. Justin was his usual great self throughout the show and it was so nice to see dear Ray still enjoying himself on stage.
I would definitely recommend this DVD!
Rating: - As Ever So Slight Problem
This DVD would have had more appeal if it were released WITHOUT a sound track! That's not to imply that the filming was anything to look at either. If I had to wrap up my feelings after watching it one time into one word, that one word would be "PAINFUL".
Rating: - Forget-about-it
Within ten minutes of viewing this abortion of a production, I ejected the disc and ran it through my document shredder as to destroy the evidence that it ever existed. I did so as not to soil my complete collection of the truly great work they have accomplished. This was without a doubt the worst DVD in the universe. I cannot believe for one moment that this was endorsed by the group -- for if they had any connection with it and any sense -- they would have purchased back the rights and destroyed it themselves. Yes folks, it was that bad.
