Reviews Customer Reviews for Live At The Isle Of Wight 1970      Pretty good actually for a massive show      Rating:      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 that was recorded during the A Question Of Balance tour.     Customer Reviews for Live At The Isle Of Wight 1970 Cd      A Classic Album from the 1970's - a must for Moody Blues Fans      Rating:      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 live performances at one of the biggest Rock Festivals of the twentieth century. The Moody Blues always produced exceptionally clever music in the Studio and their ability to reproduce this complex music live is a talent possessed by very few if any bands of their era. Editorial Reviews for Live At The Isle Of Wight 1970 Audio Cd      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.
