Moody Blues 50th Aniversarry Days Of Futured Passed Orlando!

AC Man

Wow! What a show. They played a few songs, took a break, and came back with Days Of Future Passed start to finish just like the album. Amazing.The full orchestra as was recorded back in the day.

Ahead of their time in 1967 is a understatement. Nights In White Satin, Tuesday afternoon hit the number one chart years later as did most rock bands due to no FM radio.

Were anyone of you guys there?

Griz

Me too. That is part of my point. All those late 60's rock bands had no air time till FM around 1972.

Saw them in the 90's.

Best behaved crowd at any rock concert I've attended.

They put on a fantastic concert.

AC Man

Even more behaved now. I think the average age was 70.:grin

AC Man

Yes. They also dedicated the show to him and Peter Night the conductor of the original album. I was fortunate enough to see him and Mike Pinder in concert before they quite touring.

It was released in November of 1967.

Didn't get heard much in the US until the middle of 1968.

There were FM rock stations scattered around, but they were in a minority.

First heard it at a friends house while ... "experimenting" .. .


Parts of it sounded like the soundtrack to a water-skiing movie.

( This was long before "prog-rock" began polluting the airwaves. )
