My favorite Moodies’ song, The Voice (John Lodge featured fairly prominently, playing bass and singing harmonies):

It was unexpected as he was still playing events
Last saw them 21 January 2018. “Days of Future Passed”. Justin Hayward, John Lodge and Greame Edge. What an awesome concert.
I sometimes wonder if, twenty years from now, the kids of today’s twentysomethings will suddenly take an interest in CDs, DVDs, BluRays...
I gotta wonder if he had been at the same tribute show as you. Michael Rutherford took his son to see “The Musical Box”, which is a spot-on Genesis tribute, which at the time was performing LLDOB, and using the same slideshow as the originals.
Hey man, you can NEVER have too much AC/DC.
In the long run some things are more valuable than money.
Argh. Got the mixed up in my mind, it was an ELO tribute band that I saw...rats. As I get older, this stuff is getting muddled!
Darn it!
Wow, there’s an ELO tribute band? /rimshot
In his wildest dreams, he has now found the “Lost Chord” for which he was searching.
Moses prayed that in his lamentation, with sorrow, shock and horror, as the generation of Israel who refused to obey God and conquer the promised land, due to their unbelief and disobedience died off in the desert.
God declared the length of days for mankind in general to be 120 years. But dying at 70/80 years was considered by Moses to be a manifestation of the curses given extensive discussion in Deuteronomy.
Deuteronomy chapters 27-28 identify more than 50 curses for a nation or individuals when they reject the protections of God’s Commandments.
Moses should know... he wrote Deuteronomy. Moses died in the wilderness at the age of 120. But NOT of old age. He fully retained his natural force as a man of war, and his vision was perfect. At 80 years of age, that would be about 60 percent of a 120 year lifespan. God gave him a full color video in advance of his call home... of what Joshua would accomplish. Moses would not have wanted to return to mortal life at that point... and the Angel of the Lord contended with the Devil when he came to rescue Moses’ body.
It is written: “My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days shall be 120 years!” Genesis 6:3.
Christ has redeemed his followers from the Curse of the Law... being made a curse for us.
the problem is never the voltage... is the amps. ROFL
Seventh Sojourn is one of my top favorite albums of all time.
“Someday I hope to see you smiling when you’re a free man again” always made me think of meeting relatives in heaven.
They were great, had a whole sting section and everything. I wondered how all those people got paid for performing!
RIP...Two of my favorites (among many from them) here:

I’d imagine they travel long distances and play multiple shows, and play a lot of sold-out shows.
And Moses strength never left him either, no matter how
long I live (63 currently) I hope and pray to retain
all of my strength and senses too.
Incredible, incredible album!!! Side two of that album stand up with anything on vinyl...
I heard "Days of Future Passed", "Seventh Sojourn", "Every Good Boy Deserves Favor", "In Search of the Lost Chord", "A Question of Balance", and "To Our Children's Children's Children" for the first time that night, lying on my back on a blackened flight deck, the ship swaying gently back and forth in the waves, far out at sea with nothing but a brilliant river of stars above me. The two songs that I remember the most that night were "Nights in White Satin" and "For My Lady" ... the former because of the lyrics while looking up at the stars, and the latter because it sounded so much like a sea chanty ballad.
I'll never forget that night, and I've been a Moody Blues fan(atic) ever since ...
