I am listening to that concert now. Prettyamazing for some cat with a tape recorder in the audience. It’s in monoand pretty compressed, but what do you expect? Someone should do a Fripp andremix/master these tapes like Fripp did for the live King Crimson 1969 CDs…
The one thing that amazes me about thisconcert is the wonderful virtuosity of Mike Pinder. These are not the carboncopy orchestral lines he played on the records. They are wonderfully composedand brilliantly performed. It sounds as if he uses the mix of Flute/3 Violins80% of the time, but he has some wonderful surprises too... Like in the breakfor Legend of a Mind he switches to Hammond Organ for much of the comp behind theflute…
The tron is RIGHT up front. In fact, it isthe loudest instrument in the band (thank god)…
Listen and ENJOY!!!!

Subject: [Mellotronists] Moodieson the Dime.....
Hi all....
For those folks who are unable to log on to Dime-a-dozen to grab the Moody
Blues in Japan recording from January 22, 1974, try these links to hear the
samples:

The samples sound pretty good for an audience tape, and Pinder-era Moodies
live stuff is pretty rare I guess...
(Do board tapes of that era circulate??)
Keep trying to get a spot on Dime-a-dozen. Sooner or later (usually within
the day), you'll be able to join and download their wonderful catalog of
live shows...
I've picked up some miraculous stuff on that site....
I can burn copies sometime next week of the MBs in Japan for those unable or
unwilling to go through the Dime ordeal....
(I'll be off-line for 3-4 days, so be a bit patient....)
