Just got back from seeing them with 3rd rows seats. Highly enjoyable! I think this was my 5th Moodoes show ever since the mid 90's and it might have well been the best.

I saw them once back in the '90's with a full symphony orchestra. Moody Blues did go thru Reno I believe, a couple of months ago. I didn't go because of no money situation.

I loved the Moody Blues back in the day but haven't kept up with them. Are they still all original?

Well saying it is most of the classic lineup as Justin Hayward is the best known lead singer, but isn't actually an original.

Current Members:

Justin Hayward (Lead Vocals, Lead Guitar)
John Lodge (Bass / Lead Vocals)
Graeme Edge (Drums)

Ray Thomas (Flute/Vocals) retired due to health reasons. The band is accentuated with a new flute player, keyboadist and 2nd drummer.

Here are some video highlights from the show I attended on Monday:

This is one of those bands I was never really able to get into. They're good but just never "did it" for me.

Glad you enjoyed the show AR. Cool
