      I grew up on the Moodies back in the 70s, my mom played them all of the time. She passed away from lung cancer back in 1993 and we took her to see the Moody Blues just 3 months before she died. Hope you find peace.

    What is happening that this kind of wonderful music seemed to be so common 55 years ago, but today it’s hard to find much that can compare. There was so much musical creativity back then and the music would’ve been good no matter what decade it was. What a wonderful time it was. I miss that world so much. We simply had no way of knowing how lucky we were back then. We certainly know now. 😏

      It was truly an incredible period that will never be equalled. I really do feel that it has all been done by so many of the band's of the 60s & 70s. From bands like the Moody's, Beatles, Kinks, The Who, Stones and Small Faces etc and that's just Britain. America too had its greats. So much creativity, depth and variety.

      A contemporary, British band that played the Mighty Mellotron (that The Beach Boys used in 1966, for instance on the intricate 'God Only Knows' and 'Good Vibrations'): Barclay James Harvest, a band that in 1968 changed label from British EMI sublabel Parlophone to their new sublabel Harvest (possibly named after BJH) for the new, more complex rock music that was on the rise almost all over the world (things happened already the year after The Summer of Love (sex and drugs...) in 1967 in Italy, Spain, West Germany, the Nordic Countries, Venezuela, Brazil, Mexico and of course the US).
      The Moody Blues - obviously - had their roots in the British blues wave that started with Alexis Korner (of Greek Cypriotic descent) and his Blues Inc.(with Charlie Watts on drums) in 1961*, but when it didn't take off after 3-4 LPs 1962-64, he changed to jazz/rock and big band jazz (CCS with Danish singer Peter Thorup). But then came John Mayall and his Blues Breakers/Bluesbreakers in 1964...
      *) Before their 1962 debut, kids like Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Eric Clapton, Rod Stewart, Paul Jones, Jimmy Page and John Mayall (sic!) had been involved onstage during open hours at a London blues club, and they had all tried out for some kind of band. Ginger Baker had played the drums, Jack Bruce the bass and Graham Bond on Hammond organ was the first rock musician who played the mellotron in 1960. If you don't know these names, these guys founded bands of their own like the blues/rhythm' n' blues bands John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and The Graham Bond Organisation, The Rolling Stones, Cream, Led Zeppelin and then some.
      BJH had another background, playing folk rock and debuted with one single in 1968, and several LPs (I had 4...) with their early singles - also as Bombadill (pre-Barclay James Harvest) were released in the 80s. They also used the mellotron early on, and the sound changed to a more orchestral rock. After another change of labels to Polydor, they dropped the orchestra and turned to symphonic rock, sometimes with heavy guitar and really rocking, sometimes playing sweet ballads that sometimes built up to a crescendo, sometimes not. Their 1970, selftitled debut album was a mix of folk and orchestral rock, a sound that grew mightier until 1978 when synths dominated a more mellow sound. Like so many others in 1978-79, they became more commercial in an era when punk and disco ruled the world.
      They never had a hit like 'Nights in White Satin (or Procol Harum's 'A Whiter Shade of Pale') in 1967, and didn't get close until ten years later with 'Hymn' (that really sounds like a psalm) from 'Gone to Earth' in Oct. '77, but had a strong UK following - and soon a much bigger audience in West and East Germany. On the album, they paid hommage to The Moodies with 'Poor Man's Moody Blues', and in 1980 they played an outdoor show for a quarter of a million people in East Berlin. So try out the enhanced CD version of 'Gone to Earth' below, and if you like it then check the rest out at Discogs (and their YT Channel), where you can see everything they released, and look for the best ones 1974-78 before the others.
      And then there's the equally British Argent, with Rod Argent from The Zombies ('She's Not There', 1966)...yada, yada, yada.

Like in, symphonic metal for the last thirty years or so: theGathering, early Tristania, Nightwish, Epica, Stream of Passion, Sins of Thy Beloved, Theatre of Tragedy, etc., etc., etc. But like it's said: each to their own. Besides, from the 60s there was also The Grateful Dead, Country Joe & the Fish, Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver, Deep Purple, Cream/Blind Faith, Peter Green & Fleetwood Mac, the Yardbirds/Led Zepplin, The Animals, etc., etc., etc. I've also met people that said they didn't like music at all; oh well. That's civil liberties for ya.

And there is not a band out there who can top Nights and White Satin. Justin's voice is poetic with hints of so much sadness that it carries over to the listener and pulls them in.

The lost concert in France 1970 was a real disappointment. In a later era, Live At Red Rocks was made spectacular with the full orchestra faithfully reproducing the arrangement of Peter Knight.

We didn't have tickets to the concert but were hoping to get a couple of scalped tickets. We immediately went to the ticket booth hoping there were tickets before paying for high priced Scalped ones. As luck would have it there were two cancellations, 2nd Row, middle seats. The rest is history. This Moody's concert was one of many that I was lucky to see, indoors and out.

    This is Pre-"In Search of the Lost Chort" their 2nd album or so it seems. Many of these songs are Pre-Lodge/Hayword era blues songs. So very early Moody's having just started to work out their new, mellotron dominated sound - all of the great sounds of the next 6 albums were still in front of them. Really valuable and intimate look of the Moody's just getting under way.

At the time, not many musicians had his knowledge.

    What a find! I've never seen such a Moody Blues concert, as a dance band! The band members were enjoying themselves, and the audience was very appreciative. As one commenter noted, this was a period of transition. Bye Bye Burd (as it was spelled on the Go Now album) was a star turn for Ray. The only new song, i.e., after Days of Future Passed, was part of Legend of a Mind. Peak Hour, dance version, really had the crowd on its feet, although the tempo changes were hard for the dancers. Graeme was wild; he looked like Keith Moon. All in all, a very enjoyable and high-quality production. Thank you!

    This show took place in July 1968. I can understand them doing 'Bye Bye Bird' as that was a big hit in France with the Denny Laine lineup, but the inclusion of 'I've Got a Dream' (album track from The Magnificent Moodies) is a real surprise. Justin and John duet on a song that was recorded with Denny Laine and Clint Warwick on vocals. Just goes to show how popular the first lineup of the Moody Blues was in France.
