I first heard this on the helicopter deck of the USS CORONADO on my Youngster Cruise in 1973, one day out of Norfolk at the end of the cruise. One of the crew had brought his speakers and stereo out on the flight deck after deck and was playing Moody Blues albums in the pitch black night under an umbrella of stars. It was quite an experience, hearing the Moody Blues for the first time.
