This concert album contains several surprises, it's the third issued by the Moody Blues since the late 1980s. But it's also unique, featuring the band by itself, unaccompanied; all of their concert recordings since the 1979 issue of Caught Live + 5 have offered the group backed up by orchestras of varying sizes, which made for impressive sonics but reduced the spontaneity and raw excitement that should be inherent in a rock concert. It's nice to know that Hayward and Lodge still have powerful and expressive voices, and the band still has a good, cohesive pop/rock sound, which holds things together even when the newer material isn't quite as strong or as memorable as their older songs. The audio quality is exceptionally good as well, and the annotation is reasonably thorough, right down to identifying every instrument used by the musicians, including their amplifiers.
