In 1970 The Moody Blues were at their creative and commercial peak. After reinventing themselves from their R&B roots to a much more sophisticated sound, between 1967 and 1970 they released five albums, four of which hit the Top 5 in the UK with two of them going to No.1. They enjoyed similar success in the USA where four of the albums hit the Top 20 and the other was just outside. At the end of August 1970, shortly after the release of their album A Question Of Balance, The Moody Blues took to the stage of the Isle Of Wight Festival in front of an audience estimated at over half a million.
This DVD makes that performance available to be seen for the first time.
It features tracks from their best selling albums: Days Of Future Passed, In Search Of The Lost Chord, On The Threshold Of A Dream, To Our Childrens Childrens Children and A Questiuon Of Balance.
Includes the classic hit singles Nights In White Satin and Questions.

  • YES the trick is to click to mpthreefy..com to download this mp3.

  • GREAT SOUND!

  • actually here's the trick.. click to uconvmp3.com to rip this song from youtube.

  • simply astounding - Mike Pinder proves he was truly the heart of the Moodies core sound. When he left, the band managed to continue but his 7-album influence continued to provide the remaining members with a foundation that continues today.

  • Pinder was amazing. Is this the Isle of Wight?

  • @KCompany535 It was Forever Autumn. They are gigging it at the moment and Justin is singing the song live! Truelly an amazing experience!

  • The is the best of the songs written by Mike Pinder. While the Moodys is my favorite group, and I think all the members of the band pen terrific songs, Mike is the most sensitive and cerebral of the guys. Listening to the lyrics of Melancholy Man gives me an insight as to why he could not travel with the band after the entire band almost reunited after "Seventh Sojourn". The road was too lonely and hard for him.

  • what a gift; to hear it live

  • Hot Damn !! Justin looks so gorgeous here!! He just oozes sex appeal for days!! I have always loved The Moody Blues!! Their music has never ceased to amaze me with their ever so beautiful and magical melodies and songs!! What an amazingly talented band in every aspect!! I grew up on their music and it touched my soul and shaped my life. Their music still touches souls today as it did back then. Their music is just timeless!! The Moody Blues are just purely phenomenal!! <3

  • what was the track they did with richard Burton to the War of the Worlds? is it available? the dvd?
