Moody Blues Tickets – Moody Blues Tickets 2010 Brighton Centre Brighton, England
Moody Blues Tickets In 2007, the now defunct Hard Rock Park theme park in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, announced the building of a dark ride entitled “Nights in White Satin – The Trip”.The ride incorporated multi-sensory experiences as well as a re-orchestrated version of the song by Justin Hayward. A re-recorded version of Graeme Edge’s “Late Lament” again followed, which had each group member reading a verse of the poem.In March 2009, the ride closed due to the conversion of the park to the Freestyle Music Park, with the new owners desiring to make the park more “family friendly.”
The group continues to tour; they toured the U.S., Canada and the UK in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. In addition, Hayward took part in the UK tour of Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of The War of the Worlds in April 2006, and a second tour in November 2007, also with dates in 2009. The Moody Blues also toured Australia and New Zealand in 2006. Their long-time producer, Tony Clarke, died in January 2010.
Moody Blues Tickets added keyboardist Alan Hewitt for their 2010 North American Tour, which is taking place in two stages, one during February/March, and the other this summer.
The Moodies were also among the pioneers of the idea that a successful rock band could promote itself through its own label, following the Beatles’ creation of Apple Records. After their On the Threshold of a Dream album (1969), they created Threshold Records, prompted in part by disputes with London/Deram over album design costs (their gatefold record jackets and expensive cover art were not popular with company executives). Threshold would produce new albums and deliver them to London/Decca who acted as distributor. The group attempted to build Threshold into a major label by developing new talent — most notably the UK hard rock band Trapeze and the Portland, Oregon, classical-acoustic sextet Providence — but these efforts proved unsuccessful and the Moodies eventually returned to more traditional recording contracts.
The new millennium saw the Moody Blues reducing their touring schedule. At the end of 2002, founding member Ray Thomas retired from the group, reducing the Moody Blues to the trio of Hayward, Lodge, and Edge. Flautist & rhythm guitarist Norda Mullen was recruited early the following year for their North America tour, and has worked with the band live and in the studio since.
In March 2006, the first five of the band’s ‘Core Seven’ albums (the seven albums from Days of Future Passed to Seventh Sojourn) were re-released in SACD format with Deluxe Editions, featuring bonus songs and some rare previously unreleased tracks by the group. In April 2007, the last two of these classic albums were re-released by Universal/Threshold. Hayward stated that he listened to virgin vinyl copies of these albums and used them as reference points for the new compact discs. In September 2008, Hayward announced the impending release of remastered versions of Octave, Long Distance Voyager and The Present which will be released on Universal Records in the months to come. On May 21, 2007 the Moodies released a forty-one track, two-disc compilation of sessions recorded at BBC Studios, various television appearances, and a previously ‘lost’ performance done on the Tom Jones show titled Live at the BBC: 1967-1970.
