"Legend Of A Mind" - Video Tribute to Ray Thomas

This slide show has been in bits and pieces for almost 2 years (I was reminded of that fact recently). The song wasn't right. The clips were awkward. His singing didn't match up with the music. Well, over the last week it has all come together. And finally, after hours and hours of creation and editing, here is a video tribute to Ray Thomas.

*Please note that 2 different audio tracks were used. The beginning and end is his performance from Royal Albert Hall. However, his solo performance from Montreaux is my favorite, so I segued into that and kept it in its entirety.




Ray was a member of the Moodies for so many years and had such a distinct sound. His music is truly missed by all moodies fans.

BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO. BLUEOCEANO...I miss ray, but have great videos to watch and hear,and have seen them 4 times, and those mems are in my heart and soul...only once w/o ray...but I thought norda did a fantastic job, to me, the guys sound as good if not better than they ever have...they have mastered their masterpieces, and listening to them in 2011 is no less a thrill to me as it was in 1970, I start every morn with a couple of you tube vids of the guys..YOUR HARD WORK HERE IS APPRECIATED BY ME!

Blues I want to say that you really captured Ray's talent more than any other

video clip on here. It was worth the two year wait!!! Bravo..what a blast to my

pAST..VERY much appreciated. His talent and voice, plus his presence on

stage just makes my heart sing. I will watch this alot.

Timothy Leary Lives..........Beautiful tribute. Ray Thomas will be with us forever in our hearts...

Mr. Thomas was an integral part of the Moody Blues. Norda is good, but will never replace Mr. Thomas. He was a true artist. His voice can never be replaced. I know that he is enjoying his retirement and I pray tht life is giving him all that he could wish for. Thank you Mr. Thomas for all the wonderful music.

I have not been able to (wanted) go to a MB show since Ray left. They do not have the same sound or feel to me. This was an awesome tribute to Ray. Great job and he is missed by all of us fans.

Thank You Cloudja figured it was a health thing. So great to see Artists in this medium enjoying sucess through old age. Not the norm in the music business. That touring is really hard on people at any age let alone when one gets older. Glad I saw Ray and the others when I could at the Hollywood Bowl. Wonderful sucess story for them wish same for all of us.

What happened to Ray why did he leave the band? Health reasons???? Anyone know??
