British art-rock pioneers the Moody Blues are captured in concert at their peak here, in a performance from the momentous Isle of Wight festival. Proving that there was a powerful live unit beneath those big orchestral arrangements, the album displays several sides of the band's musical personality. From the psychedelic pop of "Legend of a Mind" to the proto-prog epic "Nights in White Satin" and the concise rocker "Question," this is a multifaceted sound in full flight, buoyed by keysman Mike Pinder's distinctive Mellotron work.
Tracklist
Moody Blues
One of rock's longest-running acts, the Moody Blues began as a mid-1960s British R&B band à la the Rolling Stones, turning to psychedelic pop later in the decade. In the '70s, they evolved into purveyors of melodic, classically influenced songs that bridged the distance between progressive rock and pop, a sound they carried through several decades.
