Doing housework this afternoon and listening to my Moody Blues playlist. I don't know much by them, but I do love the ones I do know.

Saw them at the Forum in LA about 40 years ago.

(From, ‘Late Lament’)

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?

When I was a teen, I couldn’t get ENOUGH of this unadulterated schlock. Thanks for the memories! :)

I saw them maybe three times back in the seventies and once more in the nineties. Fantastic concerts with fabulous music. “Nights in White Satin” is my wife’s and my song for 45 years.

An all time favorite of mine, both the song and the group.

I have been following The Moody Blues since they formed their band in 1966, the year I graduated from high school.

I have all their albums and know the lyrics from most of their songs by heart. I still listen to their greatest hits CD in my truck all of the time.

When "Nights In White Satin" was released on the "Days Of Future Past" album in the late 60's, the album shot to the top of the charts and the band were the number one rock and roll in the world for next ten years afterwards.

The Moody Blues is one of the few rock and roll bands where you can understand the words to their song lyrics.

I had gone 50 years of being a fan without ever seeing them live in concert....until last year.

I went to my 50th high school reunion in Tempe, Arizona last fall and discovered by happenstance that The Moody Blues would be playing their 50th Anniversary tour in a stop in Las Vegas during the time I was in Arizona.

So I drove to Las Vegas from Tempe to see them in concert. Three of the original band members are still playing. They were fantastic. Better than I expected since they were over 70 years of age.

I don't know if I have a favorite song because I love them all. The Voice and I'm Just A Singer In A Rock and Roll Band are two favorites.

The Moody Blues, my all-time favorite rock and roll band ever. Thanks for posting this.

Several great albums...can't recall the titles.”Legend of a Mind”...”Gypsy”....”Watching And Waiting”...”Tuesday Afternoon”...just several of the great songs they did.

It's a disgrace that they're not in the Hall of Fame.
