Sgt. Pepper Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 (edited) 2 hours ago, Karloff said: that had to have been something It was damn cool. It was where the SJ Sharks skate. The first time Patrick Moraz was on synths and keys. Everytime I saw them, Lodge, Edge (not The Edge thankfully), Hayward and Thomas were playing. The keys player changed. The first time The Fixx opened. Damn good. The second Chicago, the last time with the orchestra, I think it was just them. Edited April 26 by Sgt.

jdgm Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I've just read this. R.I.P. I saw them in 69 and 70 at the Isle Of Wight festivals and they were the only band that could produce all the harmonies and complexities of their albums live. I thought they were bloody fantastic when I was 15. Still have "In Search Of The Lost Chord" on LP as well as the Deluxe CD package. Pinder worked for Mellotron at some point I think. Tremendous contribution to the sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Shiflet Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Just saw this now. Sad to witness yet another notable musical figure has been reassigned off-planet. Most recognized musicians get to leave something behind that others don't, a musical legacy that now in digital form can last as long as machines have memories. The Moody Blues were such a musically different group that their music has held up well over the years, My father even liked In Search of the Lost Chord and he was a dyed in the wool Big Band era music fan. Mike Pinder will be missed-may he rest in peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them in ‘86, ‘92 and with the orchestra was ‘95 or 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
