Movie Reviews of Moody Blues: Classic Artists
Movie Review: This one's a must see.
Summary: 5 Stars
There is no official 'biography' of the band, but there are many filmed bits and pieces floating around that are familiar to Moody fandom. This dvd, however, brings together a plethora of fresh material that not only provides a rich sense of the band's history and the sources of its success, but also answers questions concerning the departures from the band of Denny Laine, Mike Pinder, and Ray Thomas. It is exceptionally candid. Things are said that one does not expect to hear said in a day of rabid, unending litigation. There are some omissions--no interviews with Gordon Marshall or Paul Bliss (nor from Patrick Moraz, though no one would expect him to make himself available) and the odd overlooking of the Keys to the Kingdom album and some other later work. It is especially nice to see the members of the band in their native habitats--Justin in Monaco, Graeme in Florida, etc.
The focus is exclusively on the music; there is nothing, e.g., on John's love of golf and Rhone wines or on any of the band's philanthropic work. There is also next to nothing on their families, except for some asides on key divorces. The subsidiary material on the second disc (fulsome video of the garden party launch for Octave, e.g.) is also worthwhile. This dvd does not tell you everything but it tells you much more than you might expect and the production values are very high. Moody fans will also recognize some of their number in the audience and actually hear a few of them interviewed.
Highly recommended; don't miss it.
