Tuesday Afternoon Nights in White Satin Legend of a Mind Bye Bye Bird (brief partial rendition of “God Save
the Queen,” presumably while Justin tunes his guitar) Fly Me High (twice) I've Got a Dream ?? (song
unknown) Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood Peak Hour Nights in White Satin |
Three video clips totaling 46 minutes of what looks like a club
performance, but identified only as “Moody Blues in France from 1967” posted
to “Oldies Videos” Facebook page on May 22, 2011. Of particular interest is “Legend of a Mind”
with only the instrumental middle and final chorus, but lacking the familiar
“Timothy Leary’s Dead…”
From their clothing (hip 60s togs), the band has clearly
“ditched the blue suits,” but the setlist is still
in transformation. Oddly, if the year
on this is correct, the beginning of “Nights in White Satin” is applauded, as
if it is well known. |

there is a discussion of the single “Fly Me High” / “Really Haven’t Got the
Time” which includes the comment, "As the 45 was issued in May, [1967]

Single
release noted in first "discography issue" of "Higher and
Higher" #4, Winter/Spring 1985 p. 3-5. Although the
band often tells the story that "Tuesday Afternoon" was the first
single (for the Hayward/Lodge Moodies) released in
the U.S., both "Fly Me High" and "Nights in White Satin"
were released in 1967, while "Tuesday Afternoon" wasn't released
until June 1968. "Tuesday Afternoon" was, however, the first
Hayward/Lodge era single to chart in the U.S. |
