Editorial Review: Amazon.com: For a band that never aspired to hit singles, the Moody Blues have had a remarkably lengthy career, as evidenced by this glossy 1990 profile. Interview snippets with engagingly chatty band members are interspersed with a dozen of their videos, including those for their hits from the 1981 comeback album Long Distance Voyager: "The Voice" and "Gemini Dream." Singer-guitarist-songwriter Justin Hayward speaks most eloquently and interestingly among the quintet, and for the most part the videos are hilariously cheesy examples of the bad, cheap-looking, early-MTV-days genre. The band lip-syncs the song as a ridiculous story plays out starring the group's members. Some vintage performance footage is unearthed, which should please the group's voraciously loyal fan base, if not those still unconvinced. --Kevin Filipski Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Pleasant memories for fansFeeling nostalgic for the glory days of soft rock? "Legend of a Band" is a profile of the Moody Blues that will fit the bill. This was originally a direct-to-video rockumentary released to coincide with the release of the Moody Blues' 25th anniversary and is a companion piece to the greatest hits CD of the same name. On the positive side are the Moody Blues themselves. All of the four key members of the band are genuinely affable, sincere, friendly, and sensitive sorts who good-naturedly recount their highs and lows without even a trace of egoism. There's also a generous selection of videos from both of the Moody Blues' chief commercial peaks. We get to see vintage footage of the band lip-synching "I'm Just A Singer in a Rock and ...

The music is wonderful and watching the Moodys when they were younger and hearing them talk about the band is great. Although it is from the 1990s it is still worth watching. Rating:  - Very Good But Classic Artists Moody Blues Is BetterFirst see Classic Artists-Moody Blues & then watch this one. I am not saying it is a bad one but where one has interviews with Mike Pinder & lacks any really with Ray Thomas, this one is the opposite & there is not one interview with Mr Pinder on the whole film. Other then that, a must have for the collector of Moody Blues videos. Search "Judemac Forever" on google,msn or Yahoo. Rating: - The Legend LivesAlthough dated, this was a nice documentary of the Moody Blues ranging from the mid-60's to the early 90's. It was a mixture of reminisces and music from the band, and there was an appropriate balance that made it flow well. A particular highlight was an acoustic version of Tuesday Afternoon by Justin Hayward. It was only a verse and a chorus, but it leads one to imagine how nice accoustic arrangements of their music could be. Videos of their songs or live performances were intermixed thoughtfully, so the conversational part of the documentary didn't get too long. It would have been nice to hear from some ex-band members such as Mike Pinder or Denny Laine, but this was clear the story of the four active band members--not necessarily the Moody ... Read More: Rating: - Better than Classic Artists VersionI recently purchased Legend of a Band along with the longer and more expensive Classic Artists 3-DVD set. I must say while LOAB doesn't show as much footage as CA, it does seem to tell the story much clearer and without a lot of the superfulous interviews of people that most of us have never heard of anyway. I am a huge John Lodge fan and the segment of him at the site of The Isle of Wight Festival was fantastic and that alone was well worth the price of the DVD! I highly recommend this to any MB fan. |
