Moody Blues Tickets

Moody Blues
Moody Blues is the name of an English rock band which came into existence during the sixties and is still popular for its profound music. The band was formed in Birmingham, UK in 1964 by 3 young boys who were previously a part of another music band. The group of boys carefully recruited two more band members to form a five member band known and called themselves 'Moody Blues'. Soon they debuted with their first single 'Steal Your Heart Away' which didn't prove successful. However, the second single 'Go Now' peaked the UK album chart at #1 and the US chart at #10. It instantly earned the band great fame.

The very next year, the band released its debut album in 1965, in contract with Decca Record. It blended classical with a flavor of R&B, to come up with something different. In 1967, a multi-platinum album 'Days of Future Passed' lifted the success of the newly emerged group. With the #1 album 'On the Threshold of a Dream' in 1969, the band entered the real successful era. During the seventies, Moody Blues came up with one after another hit album, all of which retained the top ten chart positions and the Moody Blues Concert tickets were being sold like never before.

With some members leaving the band and some new joining in, Moody Blues continued to tour extensively, with no effect on the quality of music that it produced. It became a three member band, faced hiatus followed by reunion without leaving a bad impact on the overall image of the band. The show-stopping hit singles such as 'The Story In Your Eyes', 'Nights in White Satin', 'Isn't Life Strange' 'Question' and 'Tuesday Afternoon' were all released after the 2 year hiatus. Most of the work was done during the seventies and eighties when the Blues tickets were in much demand. The band became known for its insightful lyrics and melodious music.

Moody Blues has released sixteen studio albums, seventeen compilation albums and six live albums, fourteen of which have been awarded with Platinum or Gold status. During the last decade, the band concentrated more on the extensive tours across various countries including United Kingdom, America, Canada and many others. The last studio album 'December' was released in 2003, after which the band only released a few compilation albums.

The Moody Blues formed on 4 May 1964 in Erdington, Birmingham, Warwickshire, England. Ray Thomas, John Lodge, and Michael Pinder had been members of El Riot & the Rebels, a regionally-popular band. They disbanded when Lodge, the youngest member, went to technical college and Pinder joined the army. Pinder then rejoined Thomas to form the Krew Cats and enjoyed moderate success.

The pair recruited guitarist/vocalist Denny Laine, band manager-turned drummer Graeme Edge, and bassist Clint Warwick, together they appeared as the Moody Blues for the first time in Birmingham in 1964. The name developed from a planned sponsorship from the M&B Brewery and was also a subtle reference to the Duke Ellington song, "Mood Indigo".
