Live performances are always fun to watch, if for nothing more than the spontaneity inherent in them. This filmed performance offers a spontaneous slice of Moody favourites. As with many Moody Blues concerts, they need time to warm up to their audience--for the synergy to begin. The energy builds slowly, and by the time they reach "Question," their finale, the musicians and audience are surfing the wave. The encore of "Seesaw," as always, leaves us wanting more. The sound on the recording is not well balanced, leaving the listener with instruments dominating voices. Lodge's voice is prominent throughout the performance, while Hayward's microphone could have used a boost. "Live at Montreaux" is a worthwhile watch and listen, and would be a welcome addition to your vintage prog rock collection. It shows that "Boys just wanna have fun!"Read full review
This is a nice concert DVD with the Moody Blues performing 15 of their greatest hits and, of course, this was way before Ray Thomas, their flutist, retired, so it was nice to see him perform his classic "Legend of a Mind" (the Timothy Leary song). But technically this is not a great tape. The images are dark, the sound isn't pure, and the camera angles flash around so quickly it gave me a headache. I guess the film editor thought this was "arty" or exciting, but it is just dizzying and doesn't give you a chance to appreciate what's going on in each shot, whether it is Justin's incredible virtuosity on his guitar strings or Graeme Edge's or Gordon Marshall's drum beats. The following year the concert with the Colorado Symphony was filmed at Red Rocks, and this is a far superior concert recording, with many of the same songs.Read full review
This vintage look at the Moody Blues in concert is a work of art. The video photography is excellent and the sound quality is unsurpassed. And of course, the Moodies themselves are engaging as they perform one after another of their classic compositions. This DVD would be a valuable addition to any music library and you wouldn't have to be a Moody Maniac to fully enjoy from beginning to end. Highly recommended!
