The Moody Blues at the RAH 5th October 2004

These guys just get better and better!!

I've listened to and loved the Moodies from the age of 11 (1967) and I reckon that tonights gig was one of the best ever.

No Ray Thomas on flute and vocals this time so we didn't get to hear "Legend of Mind" or "For my Lady" but what the heck! We got Voices in the Sky instead and your humble reviewer floated up to the roof and looked down upon the blissed out rank and file in the audience. What a moment when the girl flautist played the notes, Justin stepped up to the mic and sang "Blue bird flying high, tell me what you see". Fantastic!!!!

Other songs in the set included. "Tuesday afternoon", "Higher and Higher", "I know you're out there somewhere", "The other side of life", "Isn't life strange", "I'm just a singer (in a rock and roll band) and, of course "Nights in white satin" and "Question".

I hope they continue to tour as a Moodies gig is an experience never to be forgotten. People hugging, dancing, holding hands and just liking the company around them. I swear there were people ther with their grand children and I couldn't hear a bad word said as we all left the hall smiling broad smiles.

Heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
