In an endless sea of rock and pop formats, The Moody Blues have distinguished themselves through four decades as that shimmering jewel vindicating rock music as a substantial artistic contribution to Western culture. Since the 1960s, as a part of the historic original British invasion of supergroups, The Moody Blues have lit up the hearts and minds of millions of rock fans with inspiring anthems like “Nights in White Satin,” “Tuesday Afternoon” and “I’m Just A Singer (In A Rock And Roll Band),” that express universal themes of love, compassion and peace.

Featuring the altruistic inflections of guitarist/vocalist Justin Hayward, bassist/vocalist John Lodge and drummer Graeme Edge, The Moody Blues’ sound has held its ground with exquisite harmonies over and over again, in a genre of music that is ever-changing. Since their formation in England, The Moody Blues have created music time and time again that offers rock music a depth that is unprecedented and inspiring.

The Moody Blues have sold in excess of 70 million albums worldwide and have been awarded an astonishing 14 platinum and gold discs. Their incredible roster of hits include: “Ride My See Saw,” “The Story In Your Eyes,” “Isn’t Life Strange,” “Question,” “Your Wildest Dreams,” and “I Know You’re Out There Somewhere,” to name a few. The Moody Blues’ number one, Top 5, Top 10, Top 20, Top 40, Multi-Platinum, Platinum and Gold albums and singles, have generated sold-old tours on a consistent basis over the course of several decades, making them one of the top-grossing album and touring bands in existence.

In 2008, The Moody Blues re-released the group’s first seven albums, containing the band’s legendary chart-topping singles of the 1960s and 1970s. Each re-release features exclusive bonus tracks, alternate versions, radio sessions and outtakes telling a story about the progression of rock & roll while diving into further detail with the inclusion of live BBC recordings and bonus tracks.

With a 2009 tour in progress, the legacy of The Moody Blues continues to live on. As the world continues to revolve on its axis during any time of economic and political uncertainty, The Moody Blues have always been there to provide the world with live music that is engaging and appropriate to the times.

As they continue to tour and perform for millions of fans around the world, The Moody Blues will always offer that unique experience of rock & roll delivered with connectedness, commitment and a sentiment of peace.

The Moody Blues are part of the Belle Tire Concert Series.
