This is an unusual concert, as you can hear the Moody Blues moving in a new direction. In July 1966, bassist Clint Warwick retired from the group. He was briefly replaced by Rod Clark until the beginning of October the same year. When Clark and Denny Laine both left the band the three remaining members of the Moody Blues, Pinder, Thomas and Edge, assembled a new line-up. The new members were bassist and vocalist John Lodge and guitarist, vocalist Justin Hayward. By 1968, Hayward had emerged as the Moody Blues main singer-songwriter and moved the band towards a different style of lush and radio friendly prog rock. At the time of this performance, they had just released their 1967 album '\u003ci\u003eDays of Future Passed\u003c\/i\u003e', but had not released any subsequent new material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis concert took place on French TV show '\u003ci\u003eCe Soir On Danse\u003c\/i\u003e' in Paris, France on July 13, 1968, broadcast by ORTF, where The Moody Blues were more popular as an R\u0026amp;B act at the time. It includes Bye Bye Bird, a cover of a song by blues legend Sonny Boy Williamson, which hit number one in France even though they no longer had their lead singer (Denny Laine) from their R\u0026amp;B era. You will notice they reprise Nights in White Satin as it was such huge hit. Beautiful Dream is a song by John Lodge that has never been officially released on an album, so it is a real bonus for Moody Blues fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJustin Hayward - guitar, vocals;\u003cbr\u003eJohn Lodge - bass, vocals;\u003cbr\u003eRay Thomas - flute, vocals;\u003cbr\u003eGraeme Edge - drums\u003cbr\u003eMike Pinder - Mellotron\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTuesday Afternoon\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNights In White Satin\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLegend Of The Mind\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBye Bye Bird\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFly Me High\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI've Got A Dream\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeautiful Dream\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDon't Let It Be Misunderstood\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeak Hour\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNights In White Satin (reprise)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54421379940737,"sku":"1986802","price":12.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/3805571203235.jpg?v=1750649384","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1986802","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
