THE LOST PERFORMANCE: LIVE IN PARIS '70

There is very little to recommend apart from the very cheap price I was able to get it. As a worthwhile curio it works on two levels in some ways: first, it is the Moody Blues in their heyday, the original, legendary lineup, second, the song set list features some of the best tracks the band has produced, including Nights in White Satin, Question, Ride my see saw, and Tuesday Afternoon.

The main problem with the concert is it's not really live, instead we have overdubbed music and vocals throughout and it is obvious when band members forget to sing, or do not sing close enough to microphones, and the songs even fade out!

There are however a few shining moments, Hayward prefers to sing live and does so to backing tracks on Nights in White Satin, Tuesday Afternoon and Question in particular. For that reason I can be generous and give this more than one star. But TV concerts like this should never really make it to DVD. Audiences today are far too discerning.
