I bought this Blu-ray disc on a whim, not least of all due to its very fair price. I am not at all disappointed with this purchase. The picture quality was the first thing that grabbed me - I was totally wowed from the outset! It was just superb in its colour, clarity, and detail. The sound was an excellent surround mix that did not rely on gimmicks.

The Moody Blues have aged well. Their voices still hold up, and are most enjoyable, which is not always the case with the older rock bands that reappear on the concert circuit. I would have liked a few more of the old classic songs, but no matter. This a great concert experience, and it is well worth the money! It is most highly recommended.

I was always an average fan of the Moody Blues, but this video took my interest to a new level. The sound quality of this DVD/BD is fantastic. They play all their well known hits that span many years. Very enjoyable concert experience with great sound and video quality. Highly recommend it.

I saw the group a few weeks earlier in Montreal and what a pleasure it was to see the quality of the imagery and the quality of the music. Excellent show by a legend of a band.
Very Highly recommend the movie.

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. The problem is elsewhere: without any purpose, the camera is moving almost all the time and can not concentrate on a single thing. 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). 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. Undoubtly a very good performance by the Moodies; but a very bad filming creates a mess.

Still at the top of their game after 40+ years. Only complaint is their on selection. With such a large body of work they should drop songs such as Lean on me, Isn,t Life strange & Talking out of turn & go for more uptempo work like Gypsy English Sunset ect. Norda Mullen is a fabulous replacement for Ray Thomas.

They were great but the show just did not have that wow factor like them better with full orchestra backing them
