In their earlier days especially, the Moody Blues were not particularly good performing live.
Their polished studio recordings, complete with excellent production work, did not translate well to the stage. Both instrumentally, but especially vocally, the band is weak and often sounds out of tune. It's interesting that the album was only released some years after its recording, perhaps quality control had previously prevented its release. The songs themselves are of course superb, but there's nothing different about them from their studio counterparts by way of improvisation, extension etc.
Thus, why buy second rate versions, when you can have the pristine originals? The fourth side consists of rejected studio songs from the early days of the band, hardly essential. social review comments Review Permalink Posted Friday, May 21, Review this album Report Review social review comments Review Permalink Posted Tuesday, December 28, Review this album Report Review In those days, who could be interested in such a work?
The Moodies had disbanded several years ago already and the mood was not really favorable for their sweet and romantic music. Maybe a kick for the fans while awaiting their reunion album which was released a year later? The band said that some drug abuse had limited their capabilities that night. Nonetheless, there are some good songs and enjoyable tracks of course. Mostly spread over their first three albums since "Children" was not yet released and is only represented by one track - "Gypsy".
The sound of this live recording is of course less polished, rawer, simpler than their studio albums of course. All in all, the live set is a good represention of their hey days. But what the band had selected was too short to fill up a double album and a full side of unreleased tracks was added to complete the fourth side. Although they are not too bad, there is nothing special about these if you want, I have described them in my review of their "Prelude" compilation.
In terms of rating, I would say that this album is average five out of ten. I'll upgrade it to three stars. social review comments Review Permalink Posted Sunday, April 20, download free the moody blues caught live +5 lp, Review this album Report Review One of the nice things about this album is that without all the studio sound layering you can clearly hear what great musicians many of the members of The Moody Blues are.
The big surprise is drummer Graeme Edge, who usually sounds buried in the mix somewhere below the Moodies' omnipresent tambourine, download free the moody blues caught live +5 lp. As it turns out Edge can rock and he sounds surprisingly a lot like Keith Moon.
The song Peak Hour in particular takes off like a rocket and wouldn't sound out of place on the punkish live Who album Live at Leeds. Guitarist Justin Hayward's more intricate finger picking and RnB inspired riffs come through in a much more forceful manner as well, download free the moody blues caught live +5 lp.
On the down side, a lot of the vocals sound pretty bad, one singer in particular, I think it's Ray Thomas, can barely sing and almost talks his way through his vocals. In addition to the live material there are also five studio songs on this album that sound like they were written when the Moodies were transitioning from being an RnB pop band to a progressive psychedelic band. Once again these songs are probably a lot more interesting to fans of the group than someone who is not familiar with them.
Personally I really enjoyed hearing most of these forgotten studio songs, they are 'groovy' 60s British RnB, but with the classic Moodies psychedelic sound.

Heck, the vocals are rather weak and out of time on ''Please Think About It''. This should only be of interest to hardcore Moody Blues fans. social review comments Review Permalink Posted Tuesday, August 4, Review this album Report Review Imagine my surprise when I started buying the original studio releases and discovered that not only were these infinitely more interesting than this live record, but the sound quality and orchestral arrangements were far superior!
I don't know if I never read the liner notes in or it just didn't register with me at the time, but I don't recall knowing this was nothing more than a concert recording that only included songs from a few of their albums along with a few outtakes. The sound quality was probably okay for me then considering I was listening to this on an 8-track tape, but hearing it now decades later I realize the quality sucked and wasn't much better than a simple soundboard recording in fact, that's probably exactly what it was.
Anyway if you feel the need to have a live Moodies album this shouldn't be the one you look for. You can probably get it cheap and if all you want is to hear a live version of "Nights in White Satin" you'll get that, but honestly you can get that free on youTube and even have several versions to choose from avoid the cover versions though; some of them are truly appalling.
If you just want to hear the band at their live best I'd strongly recommend checking out the 'Night at Red Rocks' DVD instead, which has most of the more recognizable Moodies material, was recorded at the stellar Denver, Colorado outdoor arena known as Red Rocks, and has the band backed by a sizable symphony orchestra.
This thing had a purpose in its day, but given the advances of both technology and the Moody Blues catalog I have to say this CD has outlived both its relevance and usefulness. Take a pass. Two stars. peace social review comments Review Permalink Posted Saturday, December 17, Review this album Report Review When I first listened to live recordings of The Moody Blues from the early s I was amazed how mercilessly Patrick Moraz whipped the band through the concerts.
This led to the situation that the keyboard work, with tons of Mellotron even on the mellotronically scarce 80s compositions, was absolutely exciting - but the pieces were played excessively fast, with big power but without lots of feeling. But there's no need to search for the rare live 80s recordings of The Moody Blues if you want to see them perform in a somewhat rawer way.
Caught Liveto me an inexplicably unpopular album, is an excellent proof of that. Especially Graeme Edge is in fine form here, a man whose drumming on Moody Blues studio albums was constantly treated with effects to create a more restrained 'percussion'-like sound. The pieces on this album are widely known, I don't think there's a lot to talk about them. But the concrete versions of them are absolutely unexpected for everyone who's been used to the studio originals.
Peak Hour is a major Mellotron orgy, mostly using the rarely heard 'Hammond organ' registration, featuring some really heavy breakdowns and the unexpectedly accurately performed double-falsetto vocal arrangements by Ray Thomas and John Lodge.
I use the word 'unexpectedly' because so many critics complain about the vocals being off-key on this recording. I know that the band itself wasn't satisfied with this concert, but I don't see the reason. It ain't as mellow as the original templates, but instead it's got rock'n'roll and temperament. But if you wish to complain about the accuracy of the performance, don't search for reasons in Ray Thomas' download free the moody blues caught live +5 lp - it's mostly Justin Hayward who slurs some notes a wee bit, for instance, in Never Comes The Daywhich becomes a veritable folk rocker in this version thanks to the mighty sound of Hayward's Gibson hollowbody guitar.
Livingstone, I Presume and Legend of A Mind shows Mike Pinder in a comically inclined mode, download free the moody blues caught live +5 lp induced by certain substances or by the great vibes in Royal Albert Hall, stealing the show with the gripping MkII brass fanfares and some wicked circus-style licks in between. It's notable that the Mellotron, as it frequently did, download free the moody blues caught live +5 lp, got detuned during the concert.
Mike Pinder compensates the machine, masters the volume and tone regulation without any problems and even gets the most shimmering soundscapes out of that beast in this live context - for keyboarders, this is really inspiring stuff showing how this guy defined the atmosphere of this music 'simply' by choosing the fitting inversions of the chords and playing them at the download free the moody blues caught live +5 lp volume.
In terms of sound this album is totally satisfying, quite comparable with the reverberated and somewhat blurry, but nonetheless differentiated sound of Barclay James Harvest's Live. The striking difference is that Caught Live works without the frequently pathetic vocal delivery and, most importantly, without John Lees' annoying double string bending which he pulls off all over the whole concert.
In spite of Caught Live 's increased roughness the band perfectly manages to mime the five-man-orchestra on stage as well, blurring the borders between the different instruments to create a homogenous matter of sound. As an addition to the live concert the record also adds a bunch of studio outtakes from aroundsongs which either didn't fit on Days of Future Passed or In Search of the Lost Chord.
Download free the moody blues caught live +5 lp first it seems a bit sloppy to just stuff some remains from the studio at the end of a live album, download free the moody blues caught live +5 lp, but - if you think about it - download free the moody blues caught live +5 lp a good idea, good in its pragmatism.
The concert doesn't fit on one LP, there are still some really good! songs in the vault, and why shouldn't such an arduous main dish be followed by a creamy dessert? I always listen this album from the beginning until the end, which is actually a good sign.
Long Summer Days is a beautiful ballad by Justin Hayward which came into being before Days of Future Passedbut which already features Hayward's typical pensive lyrics on times of day or, in this case, on seasons, along with some simple but effective flute notes and full harmony vocals.
The tracks Gimme A Little Somethinga rare John Lodge song with Justin Hayward on lead vocals, and the genuinely folky King And Queen could have gotten lost in the variegation of In Search Of The Lost Chordbut are on a similarly high artistic level.
King And Queenas well as the excellent download free the moody blues caught live +5 lp elegy What Am I Doing Here? with clerically arranged vocal harmonies and a lovely Mellotron flute lilting on top of this euphony. Gimme A Little Something is slightly schizophrenic between the loudly wailing chorus and the sparse folky verses which profit a lot from the gentle cascades in the vocal melody during the pre-chorus.
There's no problem about these bonus tracks - they rather add to the total content of the album instead of appearing cheap or distracting from the basic thread. All in all, the live component of Caught Live definitely floats on sweetly aromatic clouds of smoke, and in multiple colors, but nonetheless has stood the test of time very well. A definite recommendation for everyone who appreciates at least one of the early Moody Blues albums as a big masterpiece, a careful recommendation even to those who felt the band to be too soft in the studio - they're pretty rough here, and that's what you have to be prepared for if you want to get maximum inspiration and atmosphere out of this CD.
