General
Tour Notes: In
the radio interview "A Moody Blues Special - On the Threshold of a
Dream" which aired sometime in 1973, Justin Hayward relates, "That
tour was ridiculous! We'd never been to America before, and it was a
two-and-a-half month tour, getting off three months by the time we got there
and got back. We didn't realize that, of course, when you're in America, you
really should be flying if you want to go somewhere, you know, from one state
to another. We even ended up at Greyhound bus stations and things - it was
ridiculous! But it turned us all on. I know it did. It was frightening. The
first American tour we did was frightening, it really was. As if you really
were in danger, you know, a couple of us were ill, but we played a lot of
good gigs. We got to see all the California scene.
We played Filmore West while it was still going, in
San Francisco. And I'm glad we were there." Ray Thomas continues,
"It went quite disastrously, actually. We had equipment failures. At
that stage, the mellotron, they don't travel very
well, and you have to know how to move them around, and at that stage, we
just didn't. I mean the thing was put it in a box and thrown around in an
aircraft, and came out more or less in pieces." Many band interviews
also contain stories of all the tapes falling out of the mellotron
during a show, with the audience watching cartoons while Mike Pinder re-assembled it. Band
members often tell in interviews about how promoter Bill Grame
brought them over to play dates at the Fillmore East and Fillmore West, with
nothing in between. However, The October 21-22 dates in Chicago, which are
well documented, occurred before the Fillmore East shows, conflicting with
these stories. Also, in the DVD An Audience with Justin Hayward at the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Justin Hayward describes their first U.S.
tour as taking place over 10 weeks, yet there are only 4 weeks between the
well-documented Fillmore dates. In a radio interview at www.971theriver.com, Atlanta on March
9, 2016, Justin explains that their agent got them signed to be the opening
act for Canned Heat on their tour (dates unknown). |

Glenn is not sure which of the Kinetic Playground dates (October 21-22 or

Kinetic Playground was that each band played two sets per night, with set up
and tear down of equipment between acts. |
