Why, you old acid-head, you!

I love your reminiscences! It was and is intelligent music, even if used to accompany dumb behavior (hey, Brother FReeper, I was right there with yas!).

Aren't you glad we survived all the stupid stuff we did when we were young and stupid!

I remember carrying a battery-operated cassette player into a Moody Blues concert and attempting my first (and only ) pirate recording. It wasn’t because I wanted to make money from it - I thought a live recording of MB would be awesome.

It had to be around 1972 because they performed most of Days of Future Past. Of course what I hadn’t anticipated was that the cheap microphone would accentuate crowd noise. I recall wincing as I reviewed the recording later only to hear some clod shouting for his buddy to pick up his jacket and all the whoops and shout-outs.

I bet I still have that cassette somewhere in the garage in a box ;’}

I first heard of The Moody Blues on the last day of our Youngster Cruise from the Naval Academy. I was aboard the LPD CORONADO one day out of Norfolk. The Captain had given the crew, along with we Middies, permission to basically camp out on the helicopter flight deck for the night. Perfectly clear skies, warm wind, and billions of stars without the Moon.

One of the crew brought his stereo system out to the flight deck and started playing records. When he played "Days of Future Past" out into the blackness, it struck me as few things have ever done before, almost an existential experience, and I became hooked on the Moody Blues.

I have all of their albums, both in vinyl and CD, along with Hayward's solo CDs, as well as the soundtrack and DVD for "Jeff Wayne's - War of the Worlds", particularly for Justin Hayward's "Forever Autumn" and "Thunderchilde", typically-sounding Moody Blues' fare.

If I was shipwrecked on a desert island and could only take the music from one group along with me, it would be The Moody Blues.

I can’t argue with a word of that.

That’s the album cover for my vinyl record purchased when it first came out. It’s now packed away in a storage box.

Yep - gotta agree. And thank God we survived.

Only a handful of decent folks ever wrote a piece for RS

I got Justin’s autograph a few months ago.
