El Riot and the Rebels - Blue Moon

Early Ray Thomas and John Lodge were in a band called El Riot and the Rebels before they joined the Moody Blues. Blue Moon/Down The Line was a 78 RPM demo recorded by the band. This is a video experiment from my first day of learning to use Windows XP movie maker.

Mike Pinder was also in El Riot. Mike & Ray who were the founders of the original Moody Blues in 1964, left El Riot & formed The Krew Kats. John, who was still in engineering school, did not join the MBs until '66, replacing bassist Clint Warwick, around the same time Justin Hayward replaced Denny Laine as lead guitar & singer. Pinder left in '76, and Thomas retired in '02, leaving Hayward, Lodge and Graeme Edge (now 70!) as the only remaining MB originals, still touring 47 years later!

No offence, but not very good quality. But good attempt :-)
