The Moody Blues Live CD and DVD Coming - A Top Story This Week

07/10/2008
. The Moody Blues Live CD and DVD Coming was a top story for this week. Here it is again: (Kayos) Eagle Rock Entertainment will release one of the all-time Classic Rock sets when on August 26, Live At The Isle Of Wight 1970 on CD by The Moody Blues, hits stores nationwide. Expect a DVD of the same set in 2009.

Bassist John Lodge, Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist Justin Hayward, Keyboardist Michael Pinder, drummer Graeme Edge and Singer/Songwriter Flautist Ray Thomas were riding high in 1970 when they took the stage at one of Rock's most cherished festivals. They had reinvented themselves from their R'n'B roots (after having had a major hit with a cover version of an obscure '50s American soul song by Bessie Banks called "Go Now") into being what was then called an "Art Rock" band, paving the way for the whole Progressive Rock movement yet to come. Fusing classical music with hard rock made them pioneers of the era and albums such as 1967's Days Of Future Passed, 1968's In Search Of The Lost Chord and 1969's To Our Children's Children's Children transcended the band into icon status. - more on this story
