Continuing to move forward chronologically, next up for the Isle of Wight Festival is the Moody Blues.
When the band started to play it was still light out, but by the time they finished over an hour later, it was dark.
The set is complete and sounds excellent, due to the fact that it was officially released in 2008 as the album "Threshold of a Dream: Live at the Isle of Wight 1970."
Murray Lerner, director of "Message to Love," the music documentary of the festival, looked back on the set with the eye of a director interested in the visual presentation. "It was at twilight, and the lighting was unusual. I liked the singing – it was more melodic than most of the other groups. Especially 'Nights in White Satin.' They were sympathetic to the crowd – that I remember quite well. And the beauty of the light at the time they performed was amazing."
This album is an hour and ten minutes long.

The cover photo comes from this exact concert. I wanted a photo of the entire band, but I could only find good ones of individual band members. So I chose a photo of Justin Hayward, who sang and wrote most of their hits.
Thank you for sharing the image on this page.
