Recording information: Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Colorado (1992/09/09). Arranger: Larry Baird. This 1992 live recording represents the closing of a circle. Life for the post-Denny Laine Moodies began with the orchestrated rock of DAYS OF FUTURE PASSED, as prog-rock history was made. 25 years later, with decades of hit albums behind them, the band finds itself once again backed by an orchestra for A NIGHT AT RED ROCKS. With both Mike Pinder and Patrick Moraz long gone, the group is down to a quartet here, augmented by session musicians and the Colorado Symphony Orchestra. The 1969 live recording CAUGHT LIVE proved that the band never needed an orchestra to reproduce its lush sound, but it certainly doesn't hurt. The marriage of the Moodies' progressive pop-rock with the Colorado Symphony's elegant accompaniment seems a natural one. With as many hits as the band had behind them by this time, it's hard for the show to be full of anything else. The twist is that the set is still almost equally divided between pre- and post-comeback hits.

It's not too difficult to choose which of the three `live' Moody Blues albums (or series in this case) to buy. "Caught Live" is a recording mess actually from a 1968 performance and the latest, "Hall Of Fame" has too many rough points to really impress. This "full" concert from Red Rocks is unmatched by many live recordings, especially now that it has been remastered to near perfect quality. You can actually hear the difference between the original CD recording and this remastered version - it's that good.

The song selection is standard (or classic) Moody Blues, but the Colorado Symphony adds so much more ambiance. It is not a perfect orchestra, which makes it all the more appealing with a rock band. The booklet contains great information with plenty of photos and a thorough essay. Two of the discs contain 23 songs - the full concert and the DVD displays the show with 19 songs. This "SOund & Vision" series is a great idea for the true fan and the ultimate audiophile.

I put off purchasing this album for some time. I have replaced all of my albums with CD's now. If you forgot Albums were made of Vinyl at one time and I have many of there albums and use a B&O table to listen to them once in a while. Now I have my CD's on my media center and listening is so easy the CD's are great. I purchased this Box Set to get the latest mastering of the CD's as well as the DVD I found the quality much better than I remember it. The Colorado Symphony is wonderful and sounds so good with them. I have heard that some feel that they over power some songs but I do not. The mix of music is acceptable but would have been nice if more were on it. If you purchase the two disks CD set this is only about $9.00 more and you get the DVD. One thing I did notice a few times during the performance is Ray Thomas has no emotion sometimes or a weird expression. Justin well what a voice and John is great also but not young anymore. My favorite track is with out a doubt, Isn't Life Strange and Tuesday Afternoon. Perhaps I am little bios on this group as its one of my favorites. If your new to the Moody Blues your going to get a treat when you listen to all of there great music. If you not like me you will have mixed feeling about this concert. Over all I think the purchase was well worth it. I like to listen to the Moody Blues Live I think some or most of there music is just meant for it. I only wish I had seen them Live long ago but did not. I would pay today top money to see them at Red Rocks, that I have been to and wow what a place......
