 Must Have For Moody Blues FansMar 17, 2007
By Pam
"autumngal"
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.

A great documentary of a legenday band.Apr 27, 2007
By Dean Wisland
"Titanic buff"
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??!!??

 Dropped the BallMay 01, 2007
By Kenneth Anselmi
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.

This one's a must see.Jun 23, 2007
By Richard B. Schwartz
There is no official 'biography' of the band, but there are many filmed bits and pieces floating around that are familiar to Moody fandom. This dvd, however, brings together a plethora of fresh material that not only provides a rich sense of the band's history and the sources of its success, but also answers questions concerning the departures from the band of Denny Laine, Mike Pinder, and Ray Thomas. It is exceptionally candid. Things are said that one does not expect to hear said in a day of rabid, unending litigation. There are some omissions--no interviews with Gordon Marshall or Paul Bliss (nor from Patrick Moraz, though no one would expect him to make himself available) and the odd overlooking of the Keys to the Kingdom album and some other later work. It is especially nice to see the members of the band in their native habitats--Justin in Monaco, Graeme in Florida, etc.
The focus is exclusively on the music; there is nothing, e.g., on John's love of golf and Rhone wines or on any of the band's philanthropic work. There is also next to nothing on their families, except for some asides on key divorces. The subsidiary material on the second disc (fulsome video of the garden party launch for Octave, e.g.) is also worthwhile. This dvd does not tell you everything but it tells you much more than you might expect and the production values are very high. Moody fans will also recognize some of their number in the audience and actually hear a few of them interviewed.
Highly recommended; don't miss it.

 Comprehensive but for for the die-hard fansApr 30, 2007
By Roger Harris
As a first generation, ardent fan of the Moody Blues, I was very happy to finally see a comprehensive, quality treatment of this classic band. But be warned, this is not the type of thing you pop in the DVD player and watch repeatedly. The history is all there and so are all the players that have been a part of the Moody's dynasty. (With the exception of Patrick Moraz, and Ray Thomas who's contributions are from old footage) I mean, let's be honest...How many times will anyone really sit through the Disc I docummentary? ..and the video's on Disc II are all readily available on other compilations with the exception of the historical footage from the bands "Octave" coming-out party. Certainly the rare songs are Disc III are nice, but over-all it really is a product for the die-hards. For the casual fan there are better things out there for you in relation to the Moodies.
