Moody Blues-Evening Time to Get Away

Companion Track to Tuesday Afternoon written and sung by John Lodge. I wanted to hear this track separate from Tuesday Afternoon. This track is strong enough to be its own song, and does not need to be combined with another song.

is this john lodge on lead vocals?

[Northcarolinian]

@frankho99 Yes it is, and one of the few songs where he sang lead vocals. Usually, he sang with the other members of the group in unison.

thanks! had a hard time finding this one, and your right, its better as a song on its own.

[Northcarolinian]

You are quite welcome!

[bottomoftheearth]

Nothing like older Moody Blues!

[Northcarolinian]

That is true! Their best material is from the Pinder, Thomas, Edge, Logde and Hayward era aka Core 7 or Classic Lineup. The were still good with Patrick Moraz in the band, but have not been the same ever since he left. Now they took another blow with the retirement or Ray Thomas. Hayward and Lodge should do another Blue Jays project. That partnership gave us soom very good but quite mellow music.

Listening to this track is almost a religious experience. I firmly believe the Moody Blues had some inspiration of the divine, during these years. I never get tired of listening to this stuff.

It's almost as if it's a hymnal of some sort, transcending the ages, just like a "classic" should be.

One of my favorite moodys songs, a much unappreciated piece

@dbeatlefreak The original album master tapes had deteriorated after only 10 years, so the album was remixed anew. Although there were numerous improvements (better stereo balance, for one), this remix was not one of them. Why the original mix wasn't a bonus track on the recent deluxe edition is beyond me.

[Doobie1975]

for some reason I can totally picture the Beatles doing this song

[Doobie1975]

I totally agree that the song itself was great enough to be its own track, I believe I've discovered this part of the song on the Classic Rock station on Music Choice

[kloudzjia]

seventh sojourn is also brilliant evry track.'you and me' is awesome i agree.

[DerGlaetze]

@karl822

Oh yes. That's another one! So true. I have that one also.

[karl822]

@DerGlaetze

I agree. Unless I'm wrong "seventh sojourn ....you and me" makes it clear:>

...all the things that come back...my uncle listening to this...all the faces and voices are right in front of me...i can feel the 1968 sun!!

[jrushmen]

Prolific !

[BlutoUSN]

Fantastic...

Even though this was the MB second album, it's really the first, considering Hayward and Lodge just joined. Most bands take several years to develop a solid sound. The Blues hit it right out of the gate. I was never much of a MB fan when I was younger, but now that I listen many years late, it's amazing how well this music stands the test of time.
