The Moody Blues Live at Montreux 1991 (DVD + CD)

One of rock's longest-running acts, the Moody Blues began as a mid-1960s British Invasion band before turning to psychedelic pop later in the decade. In the 1970s, the Blues evolved into purveyors of melodic, classically influenced songs that split the distance between progressive rock and pop, a sound they carried through several decades. This program finds the Moody Blues performing at the 1991 Montreux Jazz Festival--their only appearance at the prestigious event--in support of that year's KEYS OF THE KINGDOM album. Longtime band members Justin Hayward, Graeme Edge, John Lodge, and Ray Thomas work through a career-spanning selection of songs that includes "Your Wildest Dreams," "Ride My See-Saw," "I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock & Roll Band)," and, of course, "Nights in White Satin."
