F**k!  That s**ks.  I was pretty godd*mn psyched for this!  Told everyone
and their mother to get it.  Now I got to figure out who they were and hope
they don't blow their cash!
 
Oh well, there is always Briana Banks porn, I guess....

Subject: [Mellotronists] Moody Blues Lost Performance - A Review (??)


Greetings all.
 
I received my DVD copy of the "Moody Blues - The Lost Performance-Live in
Paris '70" earlier today.  Thought I would go home after work, sit down and
enjoy a pleasant musical and visual experience, take a few notes, and share
my thoughts and observations in posting a review.  I did not expect to have
to write the following, especially being such a huge, Classic-7 Moodies'
fan:
 
For all you bottom-line people, in short, save your money.  Live, my ass.
If anyone was expecting a warts-and-all, bona fide live performance, you
will be TERRIBLY disappointed.  All backing tracks are the studio tracks.
Hayward's tunes appear to feature live vocals, but John's and (thankfully)
Ray's tunes are also the studio tracks, incuding vocals.  And all in 5.1
Surround Sound!
 
THERE'S NOT A MARK II IN SIGHT!!!  Mike is seated behind a Hammond C3,
unattached to a Leslie or any other amplification.  What's funny is that you
can see him adjusting drawbars during and between songs, as if that's making
a difference (?!).  What's also funny (and pathetic) is Ray, the
incomparable master of intonation, playing flute in unison with the
prerecorded track in "Are You Sitting Comfortably".  Either be prepared to
split your sides laughing or have a barf bag handy.
 
I can't believe that Mike could sanction such a piece of garbage such as
this, such a rip-off.  You would be much better off finding a copy of the
bootleg live performance from Dutch TV.  Not high-quality video, but
DEFINITELY live.  Or hearing the live Tokyo concert from '72-'73, which is
so much better than the "Caught Live + 5" CD.
 
Cancel your Amazon pre-orders if you can.
 
The only thing good was the note Mike wrote, "Take care of Bertha 134".
