With graying baby boomers becoming key underwriters of viewer-supported television, a staid Public Broadcasting System grudgingly acknowledged the existence of rock & roll in the 1990s. The Moody Blues, via their somewhat heavy-handed, 1993 concert video A Night at Red Rocks, were among the first Woodstock generation acts to end up in constant rotation during affiliate pledge drives. The band's PBS follow-up, Hall of Fame, is an improvement overall. Taped at London's Royal Albert Hall early in 2000, the Moodies' more freewheeling performance this time mixes satisfying selections from their catalogue of hits from 1968 to 1972 with a few Top 40 entries released in the late '80s ("I Know You're Out There Somewhere," "Your Wildest Dreams"). The sheer pleasure of watching the core quartet of Ray Thomas, Justin Hayward, John Lodge, and Graeme Edge ease their way into Mellotron masterpieces from Days of Future Passed, as well as the trippy curiosity of "Legend of a Mind" and the dizzying pop mutations of "Ride My See-Saw," is a study in grace. Backed by the once-fictional London Festival Orchestra (credited as a key musical collaborator on Days), the band eschews grandiosity for a pointed but delicate yearning, and whips up its typically stately tone of cosmic romanticism. The frenzied joy of a mixed-age audience brings smiles to the Moodies' faces and a sometimes-unexpected vigor to their vocals--catch Ray Thomas's booming "Welllll!" during every chorus of "I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band)"--which helps to make this program a treat to watch repeatedly. --Tom Keogh

 Moody Blues in Concert -- Royal Albert Hall October 1, 2008
Kristine A. Roney
This DVD is absolutely awesome! It has many of the best-known and best-loved classics that the Moody Blues are famous for, on stage live, just a few years ago -- with the added dimension of a full orchestra! A true delight for both the ears AND the eyes! I bought it as a gift for my husband, but I love it too!
Ethereal but funereal, as only the Moody Blues can do September 23, 2008
Joanie Harter
Watch this concert and let it take you away, somewhere light and heavenly, with a flair of Victorian romance, yet with a touch of gloom~~its a mood only the Moody Blues can create.

Excellent. The songs sound like the originals of the 70's. Getting older, but they sound like they're still in their 30's.
moody Blues at the great albert hall April 6, 2008
Joseph Cuccio (usa)
this was a great moody's concert the camera work was awsome! the songs were well put together. I have seen the moody blues at least 4 times in my life and every experence was better then the last one! I'm luckit because i'll have a chance to see them one more time in my life time. but the moody blues have changed since i seen them in the late 70's & 80's with the retiring of Mike Pinder & Raymond Thomas. I miss there songs, but they have replaced Ray Thomas with a woman and added a pecousion to play with gearome Edge, one of the greatest drummers i'ev every seen. but the Moody Blues is now Justin Hayward & John Lodge are in control. Its the singing that makes me cry. Isn't Life Strange.
