Movie Reviews of Moody Blues - Live at Montreux 1991
Movie Review: No orchestras, no glowsticks, just a great show
Summary: 5 Stars
The 1991/1992 "Tour of the Kingdom" by The Moody Blues was one for the history books. Those who are concerned that this is just another "A Night at Red Rocks," let me assure you that it is not. This is the concert that was broadcast in part on ABC's "In Concert 91" in August of 1991. The Keys of the Kingdom album had just been released earlier that summer, and the band was on fire now that they'd dumped most of their 80s style synth-programming. They still had energy performing "Say it With Love" (something lost by the time the Red Rocks show was filmed in September of 1992), they performed a full band version of "Bless the Wings" (completely unlike the pathetic attempt on Red Rocks)
And just TRY to tell me that the version of "Tuesday Afternoon" performed at this show doesn't beat the crap out of all the other live renditions. Yes, the Moodies were a *ROCK BAND* during this tour. You'd never imagine they'd follow it by doing a handfull of orchestral tours, releasing more greatest hits packages than they have studio albums, waiting another 9 years to release another record, release two chopped up live dvds, top it all off with a Christmas album, and STILL be playing roughly the same setlist (with just a little tweak here and there) 14 years later.
No. This was before all that. Before the lawsuits, before the endless casino tours, before the orchestras, before the weekly greatest hits album releases, before the signature wine series, and before their fans became the middle-aged equivalent of a high-school clique' (don't take my word for it, check out Higher and Higher magazine's message board . . if you can find someone to "sponsor" you). No, this was back when you could wear a Moodies concert T-shirt with pride. And the show on this DVD will remind you of WHY. It'll remind you of just how great it was to see a Moodies show in the early 90s. This was one of the greatest rock bands giving one of their best performances ever.
I've been waiting 14 years since to see this show again. Trust me: When you see this concert, you'll be a fan.

After a 5-year hiatus, they returned in the late 70?s with several minor hits, until releasing "Your Wildest Dreams" in 1986, which peaked at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart (and went #1 on the Adult Contemporary charts).The Moody Blues? lone appearance at the Montreux Jazz Festival occurred on July 3, 1991 at the Montreux Casino, while in support of their Keys Of The Kingdom album.
