The Moody Blues - Live At Montreux - 1991 (DVD)

The Keys to the Moody Blues

Advantages: Evergreen, ever popular, ever on tour, ever the Moody Blues
Disadvantages: None

It seems that The Moody Blues have been there as long as there has been rock music itself. They have produced their own distinctive and unique sound for over 35 years on fourteen different albums. If you are a fan of the Moodies then you won?t need any review to know what to expect from their output. You will probably have enjoyed their many live performances - which continue to this day. The Moody years fall into two parts; divided by a break in the early 70s. Conceived in the mid 1960s as a meld of rock group and classical influences, they have consistently produced an intense, powerful, melodic wall of sound. The hallmark of the lyrics of the songs is that they say something about the human condition and that the diction in the vocals is clear over the music. After the first album (Days of Future Passed), which featured a full ...

Review of Keys Of The Kingdom - Moody Blues

Don't be blue... watch Reel Big Fish Live!

Advantages: You can watch it again and again and notice something different each time
Disadvantages: It can never be the same as being at the venue

Reel Big Fish Live at the House of Blues is a music DVD recorded in 2003, and is one of a series of "The Show Must Go Off" DVDs produced by Kung Fu Records. Although the concert begins with a few hiccups, it soon becomes clear why the band have such a devout following of "skankers". You really get a feel for the energy and buzz of the audience they are playing to, and you feel as though the band actually enjoy each other's company as well as the recognition they get for their music. In my opinion, the DVD is 105 minutes too short, and although watching a DVD of a gig would never be the same as attending it for real, I know that each time I watch it I will notice something new, and take away some of the infectious happiness that they omit every minute that they grace the stage. This DVD is highly recommended to all Reel Big Fish ...

Review of Reel Big Fish - Live At The House Of Blues (DVD)

Moody's Prom Night

Advantages: Solid Moody's performance; still going strong
Disadvantages: None that the aficianado won't forgive

The Moody Blues took to the stage of the Royal Albert Hall, London (home of the Prom concerts) on May 1st 2000 towards the end of their latest world tour. Billed here as the ?Hall Of Fame? tour we saw a concert with a very similar running order at The Ice Palace, Tampa, Florida on August 15th 1999. It was then presented as ?World Tour 1999/2000? and was being used to launch the new album ?Strange Times? (which coincidentally) was released the day after the Tampa show. Almost every concert was played with an orchestra. The Moodys were backed here by The World Festival Orchestra conducted by Larry Bair ? who had produced most of the arrangements. There was a full house and a wrapt, appreciative and well behaved audience (perhaps awed and inspired by the august red and gold surroundings of this world famous venue). The band were in good ...
