#Band Interview (SD - 18 minutes)

This is the kind of filming made by amateurs or people who do not know anything about music. The Moody Blues (without founding members Mike Pinder and Ray Thomas) perform all their great songs in a 2005 show. The problem is elsewhere: without any purpose, the camera is moving almost all the time and can not concentrate on a single thing. The editing is excessive as well: each shot last just about five seconds (see for instance the intro for "Isn't life strange?", with about ten shots from various angles only for the opening flute solo). It is impossible to concentrate on a singer or a chord progression. I can not imagine a worst scenario for such a good performance spoiled by too much technique and useless visual effects. Undoubtly a very good performance by the Moodies; but a very bad filming creates a mess.

This is a great blu ray disc!!! Like having your very own Moodies concert in you own living room, It's just like being there at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles!!!a great 20 song concert,with a nice interview with the boys in the band as a bonus!!! Much cheaper than even one convert ticket!!! Very recommended!!! A+

This is one Great Blu-ray Concert Video!!!
I love The Moody Blues. So if you own a Blu-Ray player
you should buy it today.

The last time I saw the Moody Blues in concert was 1986. While they are older, they still can rock with the best of them. This Blu-Ray is one for every fan to own. In 1986 they still had Ray Thomas playing the flute, but he retired from the band and is now replaced by Norda Mullen who does an excellent job.

The song selection is great, "Lovely to See You", "Tuesday Afternoon","Lean on Me", "The Voice","I know you're out there somewhere", "Isn't Life Strange", "Ride my See Saw", "Question", "The Story In Your Eyes", "I'm Just A Singer", "Steppin' In A Slide Zone", "Talking Out Of Turn", "Higher and Higher", "The Actor", "Nights In White Satin" and a few other lesser known songs. There are twenty songs in all.

The sound is just great, and the Blu-Ray has PCM, Dolby 5.1 and DTS-HD 5.1 encodings on it. The video is 1080i wide-screen 1.78:1. The video of the band moves from member to member throughout the songs, with multiple angles throughout the whole presentation. The only disappointment is an overall lack of extras on the disk. The only thing there is a feature on the remaining three members.
