Summary: Great Concert - Fair Sound Quality
Review: I looked at all the comments from the customer reviews and bought this DVD because of them (and in some respects, in spite of them). I agreee that the songs were great and the setting is fantastic. But the sound was disappointing. When I play the Eagles (Hell Freezes Over) DVD and listen to this on my system (Yamaha Reciever and Klipsch surround sound speakers) it is crisp and clean with great sound coming from all 5.1 speakers.
When I then listen to the Moody Blues DVD, the sound has to be turned up considerably and the quality is not even close.
With that said, I still like this DVD and we will listen to it from time to time, but I sure wish I could find another Moody Blues with good digital sound quality. Buy it and enjoy...just don't get your hopes up if you have a quality system and you expect quality sound!

Review: I ordered A DVD instead, I got a CD of Moody Blues at red rock. Notice how they say under the picture, DVD edition. You're thinking you got a DVD. I am fuming. Firefighter Tim Andrew, Naugatuck Ct.

Summary: This is an *awesome* concert!
Review: I recall nearly ten years ago when PBS showed this concert during its financial pledge drives; using a mono VCR with the incoming signal being plain broadcast, I recorded what I could of the concert on VHS tape and, up until now, that's the way I'd always seen/heard it. Well, that old tape is an utter joke compared to the DVD!! The concert on DVD was a whole new experience for me and I was blown away with it.
Video wise, I was pleasantly surprised at how clear the concert looked overall, given its age and the video technology used back in 1992.
Audio wise, I was assuming it would sound comparable to the audio CD and for the most part I wasn't let down.
Editing wise, I was a little disappointed that some of the song introductions (by Justin) were edited out. Of course I understand that the DVD producers did this to save disc time, but I feel that the concert would have flowed a little more smoothly had the intros been left in.
But overall, not bad--not bad at all! (I've seen, on television, the newer concert at the Royal Albert Hall--and, in my opinion, that concert isn't near what the Red Rocks concert is.)For those interested, here's a partial list of my A/V equipment: RCA 20" ColorTrax Plus Stereo Monitor/Television (six years old) Pioneer VSX-456 Audio/Video Stereo/Dolby Pro Logic Receiver (five years old) [For music DVDs I usually run the receiver--rated at approximately 100 watts of 5-channel equal power output--in 2-channel mode with its bass/treble controls turned off = up] GE (Digital) 1105P DVD Player (two years old) [I use the red, white, yellow RCA jacks, which provide analog audio/composite video output, to feed the receiver; standard three-foot patch cables for audio; two three-foot gold cables for video--DVD player to receiver, then receiver to television's direct video input] Yamaha NS-A636 "Natural Sound Home Theater" speakers (six years old) [The speakers have 8-in woofers, 4-in midranges, 3/4-in ferro-fluid semi-dome tweeters] 24-foot pair of 18-gauge speaker cables [of the Radio Shack budget variety] having pre-installed pin connectors

Summary: The Moody Blues: A Night at Red Rocks
Review: I've been a fan since 1967, and this is definitely one of the great music videos of all times; chock full of great memories of great music. If you love the Moodies, this is a MUST! My 74 year old father watches this every time he comes to visit and each visit stirs more memories.

Summary: I LOVE THESE GUYS!
Review: I've got the video of "Red Rocks" but the DVD is so much better. The clearer image (especially of Justin) is fantastic. Also, it is so much easier to skip around to the different songs and rewind if you want to. I had that problem with the VHS, I kept wanting to hear "New Horizon." So get it, well worth this little price tag and beyond. Plus if you're like me, the video is pretty worn-out. I mean, it's from 1992!

Summary: Great music, great scenery, great band. Simply the best!
Review: I've owned this video for about 5 years, and have watched it several times. Its better than just listening to a CD because you get to watch one of the best bands the world has ever known playing their ledgendary music.

Review: If you want to view or go to a "concert" where the musicians entertain by jumping around on stage wearing headsets, I suggest you don't watch this video. The Moody's actually perform a concert playing their clasic and unique style of music second to none. You can see they really enjoy what they do. They have fun while they play, but their most important goal is to entertain with their music and talent. It is refreshing to see and hear a concert! I have been a Moody Blues fan since the mid 60's. Thank you, Justin, John, Graham, Ray, Mike and Patrick! You have always been #1.

Summary: A stunning sight and sound experience. . . .
Review: Moody Blues fans have long enjoyed and admired the group's unique ability to capture visual imagery in music. In this respect, Live at Red Rocks is a crowning achievement. The beautiful Red Rocks Amphitheater provides a uniquely appropriate setting for the Moodies' haunting blend of rock melodies and classical accompaniments. The video does an excellent job of incorporating the scenery into the musical flow of the presentation. Several facets of this production are noteworthy. The film masterfully captures the interplay between the band and the audience, long one of the group's touring trademarks. It also does a wonderful job of documenting the three generation span of Moody Blues enthusiasts, scanning the attendees to reveal middle aged grandparents in casual clothing, twenty-something hippee wannabees, and some fully involved pre-teens, all lost in the rapture of a major Moodies event. Viewers with a good ear will notice that many of the vocals have a slightly strained quality, not sounding quite as good as one might expect from the likes of Hayward, Lodge and Thomas. This is because Justin was fighting a nasty case of laryngitis the night the video was filmed. Even with that disadvantage, the music still manages to be far beyond ordinary. So far as the music, the normal repertoire is here. Standard stage versions of classics like Nights in White Satin, Lovely to See You, Story in Your Eyes and their traditional closer, Ride My SeeSaw are included. A true highlight is a magnificent version of New Horizons, powerfully enhanced by a dynamic orchestral background score. When all is considered, A Night at Red Rocks is a true five-star experience. Don't miss it!

Summary: This is a DVD, add more of the Songs!!!
Review: Not enough of them. "Legend of a mind" and "Emilys Song" would have been perfect adds to the DVD. To see Ray Thomas on the DVD strutting his stuff on Timothy Leary would have been a perfect touch. In concert he is fantastic and to deprive us of that wonderful experience is truly a shame.
