P.S. I'd greatly appreciate it if you would please subscribe, like, and comment about our videos. Many great concert songs already posted, and many more to come! Thank you so much!
John is an exceptional musician and he has an infectious charm that he always brought to Moody Blues concerts. However I do feel very conflicted hearing John perform Justin Hayward’s songs, including NIWS and Tuesday Afternoon. It’s only my opinion but for me it’s a matter of respect. As Justin is still touring and performing, several people have left comments suggesting that a video of Justin doing his two iconic songs would be appropriate for John to use in his concerts. I’ve been to many of Justin’s concerts and never once has he done any of John’s iconic songs such as See Saw or I’m Just A Singer. It wouldn’t feel right and I respect Justin for that. John has so many great songs of his own to do. Either way I’m thankful these two legends are still performing and they’re both wonderful. And thank you for sharing this video! Very cool!
I've also seen Justin Hayward in the past on tour playing MB songs, too, and they're wonderful, too. (He's touring in the UK and Netherlands this year.) John mentioned in concert that he had a stroke last year, so I give him all the respect and latitude he deserves, and full kudos for going back on tour and sharing the MB music catalog for fans. Thanks for watching and commenting so thoughtfully!

Hi Steve, thank you for your very thoughtful comment as well! 😊 Like most Moodies fan I’ve been to many of their concerts over many years, but I realize that I’ve been to even more of Justin’s solo concerts. Yes, he of course sings Moody Blues songs but they are either ones he wrote or co-wrote, or songs that another member of the band wrote but asked him to do the vocals. The one exception that I can think of is Out and In. Thank you for your deep respect of John, and he certainly deserves it! I still feel somewhat conflicted but if I could have “my way” I’d tell John and Justin go back and tour as the Blue Jays!! On another note I had no idea about John’s health situation. Thank goodness he’s ok and is still willing to tour and bring such pleasure to his fans of which I am very much proud to be one of! Thanks again!

Thanks for your second note and the kind words. I agree with you -- why not let them play any song they like. Paul can still play any Beatles song, and so can Ringo with his band. It just brings joy, right? I didn't know about John's health until he disclosed it at the top of the show. We had tickets to see him earlier this year, but the concert was postponed. Now we know why. "Blue Jays" sounds too much like the O-Jays! Why not simply call them the Moody Blues if J & J get back together?
great to see that John has a talented band with him. John has something left in the tank without a doubt

Agreed! Thanks for watching and commenting so thoughtfully! It was great to see John perform the great MB classics, especially with his recent health scare. BTW, please check out my other concert vids and consider subscribing if you haven't already. Many thanks again!
I think it’s great that John is performing “The Voice,” which I think is the Moodies’ best song. Remember: John is performing a “rock version” of the song, with bass and drums. That’s different from Justin’s acoustic version. If you want a rock version from a band member, this is the only place to get it.
I think that Justin and John should be free to cover ANY Moodies song they like. Haven’t both John and Justin said words to the effect that ‘when any one of them brought a song to the band and the other guys put in their ideas, it becomes a Moody Blues song, not just a JH or JL song.’ Let’s put that idea into practice! I’d like to hear Justin play “Singer in a Rock ‘n Roll Band” in his future concerts!
Thanks for watching and commenting so thoughtfully! I've also seen Justin Hayward in the past on tour playing MB songs, too, and they're wonderful, too. (He's touring in the UK and Netherlands this year.) I think they both should be able to play whatever MB songs they'd like. Why not? It's not like they're a 'cover band' really. And Paul plays any Beatles songs he likes in concert, as does Ringo. Just spreading joy to the masses. BTW, please check out my other concert vids and consider subscribing if you haven't already. Many thanks again!
Sounds good! Of course, no one can match Justin Hayward's delivery, but they still sounded great.
Soundman needed to turn that snare down a bit, though - just my preference I guess. It was a little distracting.
They did sound good, but I agree Justin's vocals are superior. As far as the drum is concerned, they had him playing behind what looked like a plexiglass screen to soften the sound. But we were sitting to the far left of the stage on the side balcony, so that may have impacted the sound I was able to capture on vid. Thanks for watching and commenting so thoughtfully!

I'm confused ; I understand John has to do Nights and Tuesday as part of DOFP Live but why The Voice too? Cover band with John Lodge doing Justin hayward songs??? But still i'm glad John and Justin are still around and touring and bringing the Moodies song on stage around the world .Thank you blue Jays
The show was billed as featuring the whole DOFP album as well as Moody Blues hits. It's so great to see and hear these classic tunes performed live by any of the remaining members of the Moodies! They were unique! Thanks for watching and commenting, and I hope you'll subscribe if you haven't already, and watch the rest of the concert pics from John Lodge and others!
Really nice video! I've seen John and the Moody Blues in concert many times and it's always a thrill. Great performers, great music. Thank you for sharing.
