The Moody Blues - BBC Sessions, Volume 6: In Concert, Poplar Creek Music Theater, Hoffman Estates, IL, 7-18-1981

I'm wincing about posting yet another album that requires renumbering, but I'm trying to get all of these renumberings done sooner rather than later. I'd discovered some more information sources that led to more missed album. Hopefully the renumberings will soon cease! Anyway, here's a Moody Blues concert from 1981 that I'd previously missed. So the next two albums in this series got renumbered, of course. One advantage of this concert over the next two in the series, also from the 1980s, is that this is the only one that wasn't edited down by the BBC.

When the 1980s began, it seemed likely that bands like the Moody Blues would be mostly forgotten as "dinosaurs." Musical trends had changed drastically in the past few years. To make matters worse, the band had taken a five-year break. But with their 1981 studio album "Long Distance Voyager," they had two minor hits, "Gemini Dream" and "The Voice," and discovered many new fans. 

This concert promoted that album. Naturally, it featured those two hits and other songs from the new album. But the band didn't shy away from playing lots of their older classics essentially the same as before, although the Mellotron was replaced by the synth.

This album is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent, so I didn't have to do any tinkering.

This album is an hour and 37 minutes long.

The cover is from this exact concert. That's Justin Hayward on the left and John Lodge on the right. However, I moved them closer together with the help of Photoshop.
