Caught Live +5

Caught Live + 5 is a 1977 Moody Blues double album consisting of a 12 December 1969 live show at the Royal Albert Hall and five previously unreleased studio recordings from the same time period. It is the only live album recording by the band from their classic era, although Mike Pinder released The Lost Performance: Paris 1970 as a DVD in 2004.
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" is the only representative of the contemporary album To Our Children's Children's Children.
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.
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.
