5.0 out of 5 stars Must Have For Moody Blues Fans, March 17, 2007

By 

Pam "autumngal" (Fairborn, OH USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Moody Blues: Classic Artists (DVD)

I have the British inport DVD which has already been released. The DVD has interviews with Founding Members Mike Pinder, Denny Laine (later with Paul McCartney and Wings) and Graeme Edge (who is still with the band). Also current members Justin Hayward and John Lodge who both joined the band in the mid 60's. Many other interviews as well. Lots of rare vintage video. Traces history to the present.

Minor Disappointments: Unfortunately Ray Thomas who retired in 2003 is only shown in previously available interviews and Patrick Moraz chose not to participate. The last portion of the video would have been better if long time backing musicians Paul Bliss and Gordon Marshall would have been interviewed instead of the recently added Flautist Norda.

All and all it is the ultimate recorded history of the band.

This review is from: Moody Blues: Classic Artists (DVD)

This documentary traces the history of The Moody Blues from their begining to the present day. It has interviews with current members Justin Hayward, John Lodge, and Grahame Edge. Former members Mike Pinder and Denny Laine (later of Paul McCartney Wings)also are interviewed. People who had a hand in their history, Eric Burdon, Marty Wilde, Tony Clarke, etc, also are featured. It begins with the bands orgins in Birmingham England, thru their breakthrough Album, Days of Future passed, through their late sixites and early seventies success, their mid seventies break, their comeback in the eighties, their famous Red Rocks show, and their work in recent years. Disc 2 features extended interviews, and six Moody Blues videos which are Go Now, Steppin in a Slide Zone, No more lies, Your wildest dreams, I know youre out there somewhere, and their comeback party in 1978. This set is a must for Moody Blues fans young and old.
After watching this, you might ask: WHY ARENT THE MOODY BLUES IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME??!!??

This review is from: Moody Blues: Classic Artists (DVD)

This video consists mostly of contemporary interviews of band members and friends. There is not one complete preformance on the dvd. There is hardly any archive footage. They fly through the classic 7 period of 1967 to 1972 with barely a mention of each album. Besides "Days of Future Past" they hardly talk about the music and songs from the other 6 albums. The bonus dvd features 6 complete videos. Not one of them is from 1967 to 1972. This documentary seems like it was put together without trying to get rights to archive footage. A few seconds of the 1970 "Isle of Wight" preformance here. 20 seconds of a promo film of "Legend of a Mind" there. Weren't these guys ever interviewed in the '60's and early '70's? If they were no footage is shown. How can you have a 153 minute film with NO complete preformances? Save your money and rent this.
