The Moody Blues
PRESHOW BURGERS AND BEER ON THE BAY
Since the 60’s, as a part of the historic original British invasion of super-groups, The Moody Blues have performed music that expresses universal themes of love, compassion and peace. The group – Justin Hayward, John Lodge and Graeme Edge – makes a stop at the Van Wezel as part of its 2010 tour.
“The sound of The Moody Blues can only be described as sublime,” says Music Connection. “While most rock bands waved banners of anger, protest and confusion, the Moodies always offered rock fans another option with eloquent songs that have called for reverence, compassion and insight.”
Some hits include “Nights in White Satin,” “Tuesday Afternoon” and “I’m Just a Singer (In a Rock And Roll Band)”
