Caught Live + 5 is a 1977 Moody Blues double album consisting of a December 12, 1969 live show at the Royal Albert Hall and an album-side of songs from the same time period that had not previously been released on an album. It is the only live album by the band from their classic era.
The band have expressed their dissatisfaction with their performance that night, citing drug use that impaired their typical abilities. 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 their then new album To Our Children's Children's Children.
