Live at Montreux 1991

This show from July, 1991 is the bands only Montreux appearance to date. With a line-up including John Lodge, Justin Hayward, Ray Thomas, and Graeme Edge, they made it a very special night with inspired performances of all their classic hits. One of rocks longest-running acts, the Moody Blues began as a mid-1960s British Invasion band before turning to psychedelic pop later in the decade. In the 1970s, the Blues evolved into purveyors of melodic, classically influenced songs that split the distance between progressive rock and pop, a sound they carried through several decades. This program finds the Moody Blues performing at the 1991 Montreux Jazz Festival--their only appearance at the prestigious event--in support of that years KEYS OF THE KINGDOM album. Longtime band members Justin Hayward, Graeme Edge, John Lodge, and Ray Thomas work through a career-spanning selection of songs that includes "Your Wildest Dreams," "Ride My See-Saw," "Im Just a Singer (In a Rock & Roll Band)," and, of course, "Nights in White Satin."
