Taped from the 4th row almost dead center, with security but feet away I wasn't able to get the height on the mic I normally liked to get but all in all a good solid capture. 

No cuts, no splices, 100% complete music and dialogue.

* Faded in track 102 with Nero wave editor 
* Re-tracked show by combining in Nero wave editor, then splitting with CD Wave 

ALD (assisted listening device) soundboard recordings are usually knocked for their "thin" sound quality (high amount of treble, not enough bass), but I don't think that's a real issue here at all. As such, Jim's files have been unaltered for sound quality (i.e., no EQ performed)--if some of you prefer to have more bass in your ALD recordings, I'll let you do your own EQ work since it then becomes a matter of personal taste. As for me, I think the show sounds great, as-is.

OK folks, here is an uncirculated DVD of the Moody Blues from the BBC "Colour Me Pop" prog. from 1968. As far as I know, this has only ever been shown the once and is now liberated thanks to a fellow collector. The BBC actually aired over 30 of these programmes, but alas all but five have been wiped from the archives.More info here

Now as to the quality. This DVD transfer has black bars at the top and sides of the screen (this is how I received the basic files) and all I have done is added chapters/ menus. The picture quality is very good, although there is slight artifacting towards the end, - I understand this is due to the age of the master reel, All things said,this is a wonderful document of the Moodies at that time.

Comments:

Here is our recording of this very good show by The Moodies. We were in section 101, row EE directly in front of the stage left stacks. The crowd was excited for this show and pretty well behaved around us. The recording came out really well. This band still puts on a good show (IMHO) and they performed well this beautiful evening outside of Tucson.
