This show was a great collaboration with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra and finally the band is showing it some deserved respect. You can throw away the original Red Rocks disc because this is the full unedited show on two discs and it includes a 28-color page booklet including liner notes by Bill DeYoung.
If you’re really devoted, you can see these “new” songs, including the complete version of the “Legend Of A Mind” on the video “The Other Side of Red Rocks,” which documents the preparation for the big concert.
I gave this album 4 stars for the NATURAL performances on nearly all the songs, which resulted from the anxiety of trying something new. Touring with orchestras worldwide continued over the next ten years following this milestone and in 2000 they released “Hall of Fame,” another live album that could barely serve as another greatest hits package. The difference between “Red Rocks” and “Hall of Fame” is obvious when you compare the set lists: “Red Rocks” includes the bands favorite songs, “Hall of Fame” includes only the bands hits. This album is important if you want to understand the Moody Blues’ musical transformation in the 1990s.
I’m glad to see the whole concert in one package. If you are fortunate enough to have the 5-disc Time Traveller set, then there are five or six songs on the bonus disc that should have been included in the original Red Rocks CD. Now that it has been reissued in its entirety, we have the whole concert. This was an excellent performance by the Moody Blues and a daring one at that since it was their first time ever playing in concert with a real live orchestra. It worked out beautifully. I just love the extended version of Legend Of A Mind. What a tease Ray is with this one. This is a must have for any Moody Blues fan. If you have the original Red Rocks CD…..can it!
