Why do we never get an answer
When we’re knocking at the door
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war?
‘Cause when we stop and look around us
There is nothing that we need
In a world of persecution
That is burning in its greed
My all-time, forever favorite - The Moody Blues - since I first heard their music when I started college in 1974. Saw them in concert several times, the best being at the Virginia Beach Ampitheatre with the Virgnia Symphony Orchestra. It was an incredibly beautiful, magical night....or was it Tuesday Afternoon? Ha! Spent many a day and night drifting off to neverland listening to the beautiful Moody Blues.
“I sure wouldn’t want to hear your record collection.”
Why not?
Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I’ve written
Never meaning to send
Blah blah blah
Mediocrity mediocrity
You think I don’t know this garbage in and out?
O.M.G. You cannot be serious! SMH.
Do you live in Florida? He lived in SW Florida for years
I wish you could have seen them at Red Rocks Amphitheater here in Colorado. As you said, incredibly beautiful and magical. I've seen many legend play there and nothing compares.
Reading her posts are bad enough
No accounting for taste.....I loved the Moody Blues but hated Procol Harum. Wasn’t even particularly fond of their one big hit “Whiter Shade of Pale. Go figure.
One of my top five bands.
Godspeed Graeme...
Interesting! I had no idea he lived there!
I live in Colorado and she met Graeme at a hotel as a concierge. She then joined him on tour. I wonder if he was actually married at the time...
I’ve heard them live on a couple of occasions. They did put on a great show.
I saw them multiple times with the orchestra- hands down the best was Radio City Music Hall in 1993. Absolutely incredible:

Wow. I had all of their albums, even the Blue Jays album Hayward and Lodge recorded in the mid 70s.
Saw them in concert twice, the last time being in the late 90s. Great shows, both.
R.I.P., Graeme. Thanks for the memories.
The bass player John Lodge also live in SW Florida.
“Edge once admitted on Rockline that his second wife Susan would not marry him because she did not want to be named ‘Sue Edge’ (sewage). “
Oh my goodness. Why were the Moody Blues “harmful to the world”?
The Blue Jays is an incredible album. Almost like Seventh Sojourn Pt II
or which is an illusion.
he's outside, looking in.

The entertainment business is largely escapism from reality.
Which is effective at dumbing down the consumer.
That said, I do like a good clean song that respects true love between a man and woman, that lasts until death do us part.
Love the band. When Graeme Edge was asked what kind of music they play, he said “moody blues.”
