Sources and notes: Opening act - "Nicky James Band" reported by Brian Kutscher from November 8 show on www.rollingstone.com/concertfiles/ Tour dates and venues reported in OFC Newsletters, December 1973 and April 1974 "The tour began on September 4 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Nine sold out concerts in Europe followed, highlighted by a record-breaking crowd of 8,200 in Berne, Switzerland. Then came the British dates in 10 cities, including two nights at the Rainbow in London. The Moodies began stage one of the North American leg of their tour with the first of 14 sold-out concerts there in New York's Madison Square Garden. They sold out the Garden in one day ..." - OFC Newsletter, April 1974 Set list reported by Brian Kutscher from November 8 show on www.rollingstone.com/concertfiles/ Single release noted in first "discography issue" of "Higher and Higher" #4, Winter/Spring 1985, p. 4 * Tour dates and venues noted in "Tamborine" magazine, November 26, 1973 reported by Robin Bean ** "... became the first rock group in history to sell out the Louisville Convention Centere." - OFC Newsletter, April 1974 *** Tour date and
venue confirmed by Brian Kutscher's report on www.rollingstone.com/concertfiles/. Brian also reports that
this was the last show of the tour, because at the end, either Mike or
Ray made the comment that they were headed back to merry old England. **** Tour date and city noted in "Amusement Business", August 11, 1973, reported by Doug Hinman of www.rocknrollresearchpress.com Some changes to these dates were made and were reported in the OFC Newsletters of September 1973, December 1973 and April, 1974. # Tour dates and venues confirmed by Jim Wehner ## Corrected from "venue unknown" by Callum McGregor ### This show was recalled by "Big Brother" creator John de Mol in a Dutch TV interview early in 2003. He recalled that the band had problems with the mellotron, and the show, scheduled to start at 11:00 p.m., didn't actually start until 2:00 a.m. Interview reported on "Moody News" of February 28, 2003 at "Higher and Higher" magazine's website at http://www.moodies-magazine.com #### Tour date and venue noted in OFC Newsletter, September 1973, reported by Mark Downer. Originally, the tour was planned for October 4 - Oxford, October 5 - Leeds and October 6 - Lancaster University, but were shuffled when a second date was added at the Rainbow. Apparently the Lancaster date was cancelled. & An International Garden Exhibition, documented by a ticket stub reported by Jens Pruess and Eric Powell.. && Venue name and location corrected from "Rainbow, London" according to a ticket for the October 4 show reported by Jens Pruess. &&& Tour date and venue name according to articles in the Montreal Gazette and Montreal Star, reported by Diana Gibbs. This was the first Moody concert in Montreal. &&&& Corrected from "venue unknown" by Jan Verdonck $ Corrected from "venue unknown" by Heleen Hardonk $$ Show date, program name and songs played from credits on DVD Nights in White Satin $$$ Corrected from "venue unknown" according to a magazine article (Date and publication name unknown.) The article reports the shows in the past tense, although the dates of the shows are not given. Reported by Mark Downer. $$$$ Tour date and venue from a poster reported by Eric Powell. The poster does not give the year, but is clearly from the early 1970s, and this is the only year that makes sense. Updated July 27, 2006 |
