Highlights, are 3 tracks from the Keys album, including the rarely performed Bless The Wings (That Bring You Back), and Lean On Me (Tonight). As many times as I have heard it, the disc also contains a great version of Question. Lovely To See You has always been one of my favorites as well, and it's nice to have that present and accounted for.
Overall, this disc is a must have for anyone that didn't get to experience the 1991 hard rockin' version of the Moody Blues. It captures them all in good voice, and it's good to see the core of the classic lineup playing together, especially now that Ray Thomas has retired from the road in recent years. It reminds me a lot of how amazed I was on that night that I saw them live, at how good all of the members still sounded despite years spent on the road. At an hour and a half, Moody Blues fans will enjoy this musical journey, without a doubt!

Although I can agree with most of the review above, as I have watched this DVD twice now, I wouldn't say it was my favorite. I have always considered The Moody Blues a rock band with or without an orchestra. Remember DOFP, their first LP, was made with the lush backing of an orchestra and actually made the Moodies fathers of blending the two sounds. Others followed their lead. It truly can be tricky blending these two folds of music. The Moodies could overpower an orchestra with no problem. It takes discipline and finesse on their part. Have you seen Red Rocks? Now that is my favorite. The Moodies are without a doubt one of the finest rock bands STILL AROUND TODAY who have more job offers now than in the 70's when they were at their height. They look and sound wonderful to this day, almost 50 years later. And what a catalog!! If you are a Moody fan then you probably have seen Red Rocks, if not you must see it to fully appreciate the finer talents of the wonderful ROCK band. Remember they had no formal musical training, they discovered and made their own place in history and are still living works of art. Their music is still rock, not have fallen into any fads. They still work today as they did in the 60's because of this. Just starting the summer leg of their 2005 world tour, I cannot wait to see them again. Of course, once won't be enough so I have several concerts to enjoy this summer.
