Moody Blues

It was the "Live at Red Rocks" video that got me interested in this band after letting the vinyl go dusty in the basement for many years. After seeing them perform live for the first time in 1994, I used some vacation time over the next 6 years or so to see more of their live shows.

Meeting the band


I have gotten to meet the Moody Blues several times, Justin and John have held autograph sessions, and backstage passes were sometimes available through the Fan Club. Justin made several record store appearances, and here is a pic taken at Borders in Atlanta, Georgia, Feb. 8, 1997. In his solo shows, whether with full band or by himself, Justin performed many rare Moody Blues songs that are not performed by the regular band, along with his solo songs.
