The Moody Blues arrived at the third Isle of Wight Festival in August 1970 as one of the worlds top rock bands. Jimi Hendrix, The Who and The Doors were among the other attractions, but the Moodies could travel to the island content that their third album in 2 years, A Question Of Balance, was sitting pretty at the top of the UK chart: predecessors On The Threshold Of A Dream and To Our Childrens Childrens Children had made 1 and 2 respectively, so there was no doubting the quintets status among such stellar company. The Moody Blues took to the stage in front of an audience estimated at over half a million and after one hour of pure energy, The Moody Blues left the audience completely blown away and with a concert none of them will ever forget.
