The Moody Blues (Official Thread)

Sounds interesting Martin, let me know what you think of it After you get hold of a copy.

Hey LG. This is what I have.
A Question Of Balance, Days Of Future Passed, Every Good Boy Deserves Favour, In Search Of The Lost Chord, Live At The Isle Of Wight Festival 1970, Long Distance Voyager, Octave, On The Threshold Of A Dream, Seventh Sojourn, The Magnificent Moodies, To Our Children's Children's Children. I think that's their first 10 studio albums. I will check out "The Present" and if it's a keeper then I will see about gettin' it

That's a good collection CREAM'd not a duffer in the lot. I have all of their studio albums on CD, but have been trying to get my favorites on vinyl.

^ I'll let you know . . . if I get a copy. I've heard it's good, but a bit laid back.

So I finally got a copy of the Montreux 1991 performance and I don't get some of the negative reviews on this one.


I really liked it?? What's wrong with it??

Surprised this song got overlooked:



Mike Pinder also did it solo, but for some reason I like The Moody Blues version.

Another great song which no-one mentioned I don't think:

^^Both good songs CP/M, the Moodies have become one of my favorite bands over the years, especially their early material.

The Actor is an amazing song, I've heard people say "In Search of the Lost Chord" is the most dated of the early Moody Blues albums (they must of excluded The Magnificent Moodies or overlooked it), but when I hear "The Actor", the last thing I'm thinking about is "Geez, this sounds so 1968!", they could of stuck it on the Blue Jays album in 1975 and no-one would of known any better But I love their "Lost Chord" album and it was probably quite important that the band made that shift from "The Magnificent Moodies" to "Days of Future Passed", otherwise new generations might of overlooked them.

^^I picked up a vinyl copy of "In Search of the Lost Chord" last year which is one of my "must have" Moodie's albums. I have everything they've done on CD, but wanted my favorites on wax...love the artwork on their albums.

The Red Rocks performance in 1992 is my favorite video. I attended their concert at the Concord Pavilion two weeks later and it was fantastic.

Always been a tremendous fan of the Moodies' late sixties/early seventies works.My favorite is probably "Lost Chord" but they all shine brilliantly in their psych/prog-rock glories.Most recently,I've been into "Every Good Boy" and ITS wonderous tracks.I was also most dutifully impressed with their earlier Denny Laine R&B tracks.Their exclusion from the hall of fame remains a mystery to serious rock connoisseurs.

^^I've given up trying to sort out the politics/criteria the HOF uses to decide who gets in.

I wished Great Britain had their Own HOF,,,I'd wager it would have a lot of the bands I respect already inducted. Just a thought.
