One of my favourite bands. Saw them at Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto a few years ago. Their sound sucked the first half of the show. They fixed it for the second half.

Yeah, and I almost never mention the shows here that I will likely skip. There's tons of them.

Did you miss a word? I'm not sure what you were trying to say.

I think he was trying to say he never posts shows here that he is unlikely to attend.

BTW... I've added three of the shows to the sandbox calendar. I wonder if the posters of these shows would post them in the calendar when they create the thread??? Thanks in advance.

The Moody Blues - Aug. 4 - Concert Hall Moody17899382H2844625
Unbelievable show! Better than last time (MTS Centre.) Possibly the best sound for a rock group that I've heard at the Concert Hall.

For almost every song, there were standing ovations from the first few rows. I had a killer view from the second row. My hands were tired from clapping.

They seemed to play more rock-oriented material from the 60s, among several hits like the dreamy psychedelia of Tuesday Afternoon, Nights In White Satin, Ride My Seesaw (the encore.)

Unlike last time, lead singer and guitarist Justin Hayward seemed a lot more smiley. He seemed rather stoic last time. Bassist and co-frontman/ singer John Lodge wears a permanent smile and flashed the pearly whites many times. Santa Claus doppleganger Graeme Edge was his jolly self, introducing some spoken word parts to the more eclectic material that they played. At one point, he walked down from his drum kit to bang the tambourine and shake his booty in tandem with multi-instrumentalist Norda Mullen.

Overall, I would rate this show as 5/5 and I would see them again in a heartbeat.
