I feel fortunate to have seen a reunion of all five original Animals back in the ‘80s. It was a great gig! I finally saw the Moody Blues a few years back after being a fan for 50+ years. Absolutely hated the gig! They did a bunch of tunes (from the ‘80s?) that the audience went bonkers over. Thought the material was mediocre.
Hey, what’s Alan Price been doing?

I remember the first time I had that burning desire to go see a show that was out of my reach. It was New Years Eve 1969 at the Olympic Auditorium in L.A. The line up was - Love, The Youngbloods, Blue Cheer, Southwind and War. That following summer Spill The Wine was huge. The 70's had started and there was no turning back.

coelacanthø: I got my info from Google, which serves me right if it's erroneous. Maybe the omission of Eric happened sometime between the album and now? Songwriters' missing/altered credits have been known to happen. Aaah, it's a fabulous song no matter who wrote it.

yeah there's no limit to misinformation.
i'd trust wikipedia before google.
who knows...my album credits all of them; but it's really curious to me that the Isleys 45 credits only 5 members of war. that couldn't have been too long after the original.
but then - why *wouldn't* Burdon have been part of the creation of that song? it totally sounds like his work (to me)

Frankly, though, Greg doesn't like it (the several you played before Timothy Leary) as much as the numbers he was familiar with. I don't know if they'd previously not catered to his tastes, or he just got into a groove of familiarity.

I’m with wmfromdumont, with “A Question of Balance” a creditable runner-up. “Every Good ... Favour” has a special place in my heart for being my portal to the group. A depressed 16-year-old middle-class suburban White kid aspiring to be the most sensitive male in the U.S. couldn’t not find “The Story in Your Eyes” to be the most cosmic piece of music since the Biblical Song of Songs.

Irene Trudel:

To Our Children's Children's Children, absolutely my fave, followed closely by In Search of the Lost Chord. I first heard Children's when visiting a friend at Rutgers. It was Halloween and we dropped acid. As we walked into a student lounge, "Beyond" was playing on WRSU (which was piped into the lounge), quickly followed by "Out and In." I'd liked The Moodys before that but was totally hooked with this.

...'Dear Diary' riff reminds me of 'I Need Somebody' by TheStooges ! An unlikely association but there it is...
Interesting the relation between 'Lose your Money' & 'Outside Woman Blues' by Cream - one guesses from a common Blues root ?
...Can't help but think of Frank O'Toole whenever there's Moodys on FMU...
Always regarded the Moody Blues as a major link between Psychedelia & Progressive Rawk - probly yeah under-credited by Critics for their place. I often also think of the Moodys - relating to that - as a sort of flipside to earlier Pink Floyd - one that didn't relate to Psych as the Screaming Terrors ...& who said Psych must be the Screaming Terrors ? Not me (much as we love that) :p ...
Thank You DJs Bob & Pete !
