We were married for 25 years but together for 30. The only girl I ever Kissed. She passed away from Pancreatic Cancer back in 2009. Those leaves lay undisturbed now, because she's not here.

Saw these guys in Germany in '72. This was taped in the Royal Albert Hall. Sold out at over 5400 seats. Sadly, this was one of the last few live performances for Ray Thomas (flute). He died a year or so after this performance. The drummer, Graeme Edge, has sadly passed as well, leaving only two of the original members still in the group. Justin Hayward (vocals) and John Lodge (bass). 50+ years together...remarkable.

He still sounds great but Justin Hayward this is quite possibly the weakest I've heard him sing. His voice isn't nearly as powerful as normal. I cannot say I "saw" them, but Moody Blues played with the Vancouver Symphony outdoors at Nat Bailey baseball stadium in Vancouver BC. We sat on the side of little mountain across the street. The stage was in centre field facing the seats behind home plate facing away from us so you couldn't see the stage at all. We heard it perfectly fine and it was a great show. They were then banned from playing at Bailey again because Moody Blues and the Vancouver Symphony... were too loud.

I grew up in the 90's and my dad was a big fan of MB - we listened to them a lot. Justin Hayward was my first crush, when I was probably as young as 6. I was really confused and a bit disappointed when I left homeschool for public school at age 9 and found out all my age peers were insane about Justin Timberlake and the Backstreet Boys. They'd picked the wrong Justin and I knew it, even if they didn't.

Actually, there was no orchestra on the album. The "BBC Festival Orchestra" never existed. The record complany didn't think people would believe it was all done on the Melotron, so they made it up. Made a great legend, however and it has since come true in some of their live performance.

Justin was around 60 for this performance. The music was around 40 years old. This version is missing a spoken part at the very end. Breathe deep the gathering gloom, Watch lights fade from every room. Bedsitter people look back and lament, Another day's useless energy spent. Impassioned lovers wrestle as one, Lonely man cries for love and has none. New mother picks up and suckles her son, Senior citizens wish they were young. Cold hearted orb that rules the night, Removes the colours from our sight. Red is grey and yellow white. But we decide which is right. And which is an illusion? Morning Glory: Cold hearted orb that rules the night, Removes the colours from our sight, Red is gray and yellow white, But we decide which is right. And which is an illusion? Pinprick holes in a colourless sky, Let insipid figures of light pass by, The mighty light of ten thousand suns, Challenges infinity and is soon gone. Night time, to some a brief interlude, To others the fear of solitude. Brave Helios wake up your steads, Bring the warmth the countryside needs.

Bob, I think you mean the 60s & 70s and they put out a few songs in the 80s also. Though one of best groups of all time, I don't think they qualify as a super group or at least the current definition of a super group which is members are already successful as solo artists or as part of other groups or well known in other musical professions then form a group such as the Traveling Wilburys where each member was already famous before forming this super group. The members of The Moody Blues were not famous before starting the Moody Blues though Justin Heyward did a few solo projects while still in the Moody Blues.

Cold hearted orb, that rules the night, removes the colors from our sight.

Not to make everything about race, but I very much enjoyed watching people's reaction videos to the music I love, such as people listening to Pink Floyd for the first time. It's especially gratifying to watch "people of color" appreciating it for the first time. The reason for that is we live in stupid times with stupid people and I've heard stupid people say they don't listen because it's "white music". The hell? What do they think, that Pink Floyd wrote "Wish You Were Here" as a song by white people for white people? Like I said, we live in stupid times, and people like that are allowed to raise children and operate machinery. This music is for everybody because this music speaks to the human soul. Everyone has a soul. With the possible exception of a psycho ex-girlfriend I once had. Thanks for doing what you do and letting us enjoy it along with you.
