Disco de The Moody Blues: “Live at the Isle of Wight 1970”

After having listened to several live Moody Blues recordings, I didn't have very high hopes for this DVD, but I've enjoyed other Isle of Wight Festival DVDs, including

, the Who

, and

, and I really enjoy the Moody's work on their core seven albums. So I gave this DVD a shot and was surprised by how enjoyable it turned out to be. Despite the inclusion of stock footage that seems to show up in all the Isle of Wight DVDs, and the fact that some of the songs are fragmentary, and interspersed with present-day interview segments, in the end, I still enjoyed the show. The main block of the concert is uninterrupted, the song selection is great, and the stripped-down, live arrangements were well performed. Plus it's great to watch the (then) young band having a good time. This DVD is certainly better than the massively overdubbed

or the over-produced, well-past-their-prime

.

This a magical performance caught on film from the Moody Blues. They producers did an excellent job restoring both the sound and film, very clear and life like. The set list is my favorite of all the other moody dvds I have and I get a real sence of being there when I watch this Blu-Ray. If you are a fan you owe it to yourself to pick this up, the price is affortable and you get a lot of bang for your buck.

This captures the moddies at a peak time, its like you are being there, the new inteviews are justgreat, the pice is very nice also

The prolbem with buying CD's, DVD's and Blu-rays is if they SUCK, there nothing you can do about it.
