With graying baby boomers becoming key underwriters of viewer-supported television, a staid Public Broadcasting System grudgingly acknowledged the existence of rock & roll in the 1990s. The Moody Blues, via their somewhat heavy-handed, 1993 concert video A Night at Red Rocks, were among the first Woodstock generation acts to end up in constant rotation during affiliate pledge drives. The band’s PBS follow-up, Hall of Fame, is an improvement overall. Taped at London’s Royal Albert Hall early in 2000, the Moodies’ more freewheeling performance this time mixes satisfying selections from their catalogue of hits from 1968 to 1972 with a few Top 40 entries released in the late ’80s (“I Know You’re Out There Somewhere,” “Your Wildest Dreams”). The sheer pleasure of watching the core quartet of Ray Thomas, Justin Hayward, John Lodge, and Graeme Edge ease their way into Mellotron masterpieces from Days of Future Passed, as well as the trippy curiosity of “Legend of a Mind” and the dizzying pop mutations of “Ride My See-Saw,” is a study in grace. Backed by the once-fictional London Festival Orchestra (credited as a key musical collaborator on Days), the band eschews grandiosity for a pointed but delicate yearning, and whips up its typically stately tone of cosmic romanticism. The frenzied joy of a mixed-age audience brings smiles to the Moodies’ faces and a sometimes-unexpected vigor to their vocals–catch Ray Thomas’s booming “Welllll!” during every chorus of “I’m Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band)”–which helps to make this program a treat to watch repeatedly. –Tom Keogh

I always liked The Moody Blues but I think they needed more time playing together before performing live Very disappointing
Rating: 2 / 5
too short considering the wealth of material-but the picture and sound was flawless. Something tells me that this was not the entire concert–but edited.
Rating: 4 / 5
I’ll just keep this short. The Moody Blues were great once, they are now well past it.

DTS? Buy it!! No DTS? Save your money. Dolby Digital sound track is very poor, but the DTS is a 7 out of 10. Center channel needs to be turned louder, otherwise DTS recording is pretty good. DVD is 80 minutes long with only 15 songs, not a complete concert. Ends too soon, you want more. Why do DVD producers do this?
