Day of Future Passed Live

[Downbytheriver]

Found this on Amazon. The second CD has some titles I'm not familiar with. Has anyone listened to it? Is it new material
or just some orchestra extras?

Oops I see it doesn't come out until late March. Anyone know what the 2nd CD is about?

It aired as a PBS special last year. DVD will also be available.

I watched the PBS airing and I don't believe there were any new Moody songs. The titles that you don't recognize are probably just orchestral bits. They did seem to have a couple of stretches where the orchestra played that weren't on the studio album. I will warn you though that, while the orchestra definitely added something to the performance, the vocals were not very strong, especially John Lodge's vocals which were at times downright painful.

There are some other classic Moody’s songs on the set. Hence, the need for a 2 CD set.

Though it looks like the second CD (the one with Days) gives names to all the various sections in between the main songs. There wouldn't be anything new there, just more titles-- probably so the writer credits can be divided.

I will pick up the DVD. I am in the mode now where I realize I may never see my heroes live before they or I take the celestial dirt nap. So live DVD's and BluRay are a way for me to relive the glory days. I am waxing nostalgic in my old age.

i am enjoying this album more than i thought i would. you wouldnt expect to describe the moody blues as exciting but thats what they are on two or three songs on the first disc. slipping in the slide zone is terrific. theres a female voice on several songs and that really does enhance the vocals.

I just got the BluRay DVD and it's great.
All the songs performed are from the Moody Blues albums throughout the years.

The second half of the concert is Days of Future Passed in it's entirety.

I believe the voice is Norda Mullen, she's been touring with the Moody Blues since 2002.
She is very talented, a multi-instrumentalist including keyboards, guitar and is a fantastic flautist.

It's the first time I've really noticed her being so prominent, but she's a very good addition and one would get the impression she is a full time member of the band.
Highly recommend this show. A++++

Actually, Lodge sounded surprisingly good for him. He has rarely done well in the live setting and both me and my wife were pleasantly surprised. Now, did he sound great? Not so sure about that. But, he was more able than I expected, especially on the songs he didn't originally sing.

When we saw the show last year at The Mann, you could not hear the vocals from the female on stage right.

She is predominantly part of the mix on this release.....and quite frankly, I don't think she fits in.
