''Caught Live + 5'' is a live album by The Moody Blues, consisting of a 12 December 1969 live show at the Royal Albert Hall and five previously unreleased studio recordings from 1967 to 1969. The band have expressed their dissatisfaction with their performance that night, citing drug use that impaired their abilities, and as such, the release was desired more by Decca Records, who distributed The Moody Blues' Threshold Records label, than by the band themselves. Nevertheless, the concert showcases the band's versatility on different instruments, and their ability to perform complex material from their first four albums in a live setting. "Gypsy (Of a Strange and Distant Time)" is the only representative of the contemporary album ''To Our Children's Children's Children''. The "+5" studio tracks were re-released on their 1987 album ''Prelude''. The 8-track tape version of this album has the distinction of being one of the few 8-tracks that is arranged exactly like the album, with no song breaks. While ''Caught Live + 5'' managed to reach #26 during its American chart run, it missed the British listings completely, the first time this had occurred for The Moody Blues since their 1965 debut ''The Magnificent Moodies''. The band remained unhappy with the album, and would not sanction its release on CD until 1996. This is the first Moody Blues album since ''Days of Future Passed'' not to feature cover artwork by Philip Travers. Decca Records instead used British art design group Hipgnosis. ==Original Track Listing== Tracks 1–14 are live while tracks 15–19 are studio recordings. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Caught Live + 5」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
