  4. I'm grinning, just thinking about all that great music, live, out of the mouths and fingers of the Moody Blues. You are one lucky Birdman!

  7. When I left Arizona for Texas with two suitcases I obviously no longer owned any music of my own. I think it's time to tune in to pandora.com for some Moody Blues!

  8. I saw them one time, early 1970s, in Kansas City. I could only afford a ticket near the top of the room, and I swear that music took me all over the place, floating on air. No mind-altering drugs, either. Just that wonderful sound.

  11. I remember when I went about two or maybe three years ago. I went with friends who were around my age. I remember looking around the arena and thinking "wow, there are a lot of white heads here". And, you are so right, it was nearly impossible to stay in your seat. I agree with Kate, "white hairs" have great taste in music.

  12. Nights in White Satin by itself pays for the tickets. You must have a lot of boomers reading your blog, buddy.

  13. What a great show! We love the Moody Blues - way back then and still. Thank God for Pandora because "our vinyl" is long ago worn out.

  14. Waaah! I didn't know they were still playing! I was introduced to Moody Blues in '72, just before leaving for a road trip from Toronto to Panama. Right before crossing the border into Mexico, my mother allowed me to pick two tapes. One I picked was their On the Threshold of a Dream tape (the other was Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack). If you remember the first cut of the album, In the Beginning, you'll understand the stunned glares I got from both parents and four siblings when we played it the first time. Luckily for me, it became a favorite album for all of us (as did JCSS).
