The Moody Blues: Lovely to See You - Live [Blu-ray]
The legendary Moody Blues present this special musical collection, their first live album without an orchestra, since their historic 1969 release The Moody Blues Live + 5. Recorded live at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on June 11 during their 2005 World tour, in which they played New Zealand for the first time and returned to Australia, this rare live recording is pure Moody Blues. With the Moodies' unique brand of music that has kept them at the top of their profession for 40 years, and has maintained them as one of the biggest live touring acts of all-time, this is a truly sparkling performance from one of the world's greatest and best-loved rock bands.

Running time: 1:45:53.
The problem is elsewhere: without any purpose, the camera is moving almost all the time and can not concentrate on a single thing. It is impossible to concentrate on a singer or a chord progression. I can not imagine a worst scenario for such a good performance spoiled by too much technique and useless visual effects. This is the kind of filming made by amateurs or people who do not know anything about music. The Moody Blues (without founding members Mike Pinder and Ray Thomas) perform all their great songs in a 2005 show. Undoubtly a very good performance by the Moodies; but a very bad filming creates a mess. The editing is excessive as well: each shot last just about five seconds (see for instance the intro for "Isn't life strange.", with about ten shots from various angles only for the opening flute solo).
Very recommended. Like having your very own Moodies concert in you own living room, It's just like being there at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles.a great 20 song concert,with a nice interview with the boys in the band as a bonus. Much cheaper than even one convert ticket. This is a great blu ray disc. A+
This is one Great Blu-ray Concert Video. you should buy it today. I love The Moody Blues. So if you own a Blu-Ray player.
The video of the band moves from member to member throughout the songs, with multiple angles throughout the whole presentation. The only thing there is a feature on the remaining three members. The only disappointment is an overall lack of extras on the disk. This Blu-Ray is one for every fan to own. The video is 1080i wide-screen 1.78:1. While they are older, they still can rock with the best of them. The song selection is great, "Lovely to See You", "Tuesday Afternoon","Lean on Me", "The Voice","I know you're out there somewhere", "Isn't Life Strange", "Ride my See Saw", "Question", "The Story In Your Eyes", "I'm Just A Singer", "Steppin' In A Slide Zone", "Talking Out Of Turn", "Higher and Higher", "The Actor", "Nights In White Satin" and a few other lesser known songs.
The sound is just great, and the Blu-Ray has PCM, Dolby 5.1 and DTS-HD 5.1 encodings on it. In 1986 they still had Ray Thomas playing the flute, but he retired from the band and is now replaced by Norda Mullen who does an excellent job. The last time I saw the Moody Blues in concert was 1986. There are twenty songs in all.
