Editorial Review:
Album Description: 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 CD makes that performance available for the first time.

This seems to have been mastered from 2 track PA feed tapes which means that your not going to be getting a high end multi track recording. However, if you love the Moodies and if you like live albums, look no futher. The sound does begin to get dialed in during a smoking Gypsy. This set has a great setlist and we even get three songs that haven't shown up live anywhere else before (Minstrel's Song, Tortoise And The Hare and Melancholy Man). Remember that this is 1970 and it might be the only show ... Read More

This album has a fresh live sound that can only be achieved by the Moody Blues at the peak of their career. While not perfect, like their Studio Albums, it has a vibrant, energetic driving sound that was typical of the Band during their stellar days at the top of the British Rock Scene during the 1970's. A must have for any Moody Blues Fans and a collectors holy grail. I really thank Justin Hayward for taking the time and making the effort to re-master this wonderful recording of one of the best ...

The Moody Blues began their "Question of Balance" tour in the United States a few months after this performance was recorded at the Isle of Wight. I saw them perform live on the U.S. tour (opening band was The James Gang who had just released "Rides Again")and the sound quality was so much better than what is on this recording. I have heard them play these songs and this is NOT what I remember. I played this for some of my friends that were at the shows... and they agree that this is a very poor recording. ... Read More

The "core 7" original albums by the Moody Blues are some of the most beautiful sounding albums of the sixties and early seventies. Dense, lush and warm they were sonic amazements on headphones and high end stereo systems (being high didn't hurt as well). They hold up very well today, a testament to some of the best analog recordings ever. It was a mighty tall order to attempt recreating these qualities live, and the Moodies never did. The harmonies, finicky Mellotron and multi-layered instrumentation was ... Read More

Rough, raw and rare - vintage Moody Blues: musical pioneers poised on the cusp of super-stardom. Anyone who was lucky enough to attend their concerts in the late 60's and early 70's (as I did) will be transported back in time - and what a trip! Timothy Leary and acid not required. Definitely for the hard-core Moodies fan who remembers the power, passion and energy they brought to those early concerts. So the recording isn't that great - what do you expect for 1970? Modern Moodies fans used to studio releases ... Read More
