The Moody Blues return to Interlochen on the 26th. Now pared down to a trio with appropriate touring backup, John Lodge (bass, vocals), Justin Hayward (guitar, vocals) and Graeme Edge (drums, spoken word) will take us back to when mellotrons ruled the earth. Classics like "Tuesday Afternoon," "The Story in Your Eyes" and "I'm Just a Singer in a Rock and Roll Band" will no doubt send the boomers into ecstasy. Thing is, the band is that good. Hayward's voice seemingly hasn't lost a thing (eat your heart out Greg Lake) and even if you're "Nights in White Satin"ed to death like me, there's so much more in the band's vast repertoire that it makes the show a great time.
Right now I'm looking to score an interview with Graeme Edge (previously interviewed Lodge and Hayward on other trips up north) and hope to have a review up after the show. Because it's hard to review it beforehand.
