When it comes to prog rock, it’s been a good year for Florida. We’ve gotten Steve Howe’s version of Yes in February, Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters in July, and next week we will get Yes featuring Anderson, Rabin, & Wakeman. But another prog group released a legendary album that turned 50 this year. They embarked on a tour promoting its birthday, but went no further southeast than Georgia. But they have added another leg.
The Moody Blues, along with “a Rock Symphony Orchestra,” will play the entire Days Of Future Passed album at Ruth Eckerd Hall on January 13. Tickets go on sale this weekend, and start at $68.75. Though The Moody Blues are down to three original members, now’s your chance to see them. After what happened this week in the music world, I think it’s safe to say that we should go to any older musician/band’s concert that comes to town that we love. Who knows? This could be the last time The Blues ever tour.
