On November 10th, 2022, ‘Days of Future Passed’ will celebrate its 55th Anniversary, and John wanted to do something special to celebrate. The Moodies had embarked on a US tour in 2017 to celebrate the 50th, but regrettably stopped touring shortly after, and, then very sadly, Graeme Edge passed away in 2021. However, shortly before his passing, John and Graeme met and spent some special time together. At that meeting, Graeme told John how he hoped John would continue and keep the Moody Blues music alive. The new show, based around the simple tale of “a day in the life of an everyday man,” will highlight all that made Days of Future Passed the ground-breaking album that it was - arguably the start of Progressive Rock.
“November 2022 sees me looking back 55 years to that week in 1967. As I said at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Graeme, Mike, Ray, Justin, and I, together with Tony, went into a studio, and 7 days later we came out with an album that changed our lives forever… I’m sorry that the Moodies are no longer touring, and I miss my friends Ray and Graeme deeply, but as I looked back to the past, I realised that I also wanted to look forwards to the Future. My hope is that in this show, and album, you will get to revisit 1967, but at the same time, see how this album has grown with me, and with you. Thank to you the 10,000 Light Years Band, Jon Davison and, of course, Graeme, for their belief in this project and helping bring my vision to life. And thank you to all the fans for Keeping the Faith.” - John Lodge
