Rating: Summary: Great casual view of the "boys" Review: The video footage of the band's early years really helps Moody fans understand what the band is about. They perform their songs as passionately as they did when they were written. I especially liked the footage of "I'm Just a Singer..." The look on Justin's face as he plays his guitar near the end shows just how intense his music is to him. The film also shows Graeme's great sense of humor. I've been a Moody's lover for years and this film pulled a lot of loose ends together.
Rating: Summary: Good but a bit incomplete Review: This is a good basic overview of the band, but i found that they skipped a few parts that were uh, rather important. For example, HOW could they not spend more time on 'Long Distance Voyager', which is not only one of their very best albums but the one that helped their comeback? Or 'In Search of the Lost Chord', or any of their other late 60s albums? I found that they skipped over a lot of info. It was interesting to learn of their beginnings, but i would have liked to get more of an overview of each album, what went into them, collaborations, etc. Also, what about Mike Pinder and Patrick Moraz? Didn't they do anything to contribute to the Moodies' unique sound? The video could have been twice as long in my opinion.
