When one attends a John Lodge concert, there's an expectation to hear some Moody Blues. Readily agreeing that he loves playing the Moody's stuff, he also admits that he will feature some of the band's deeper tracks and a few, "Special" offerings too.
"I'm going to be doing some Moody's songs as well, songs that I have always wanted to play like, "Singer in a Rock 'N' Roll Band" and "Isn't life Strange" but it also gives me the opportunity to do some Moody Blues songs that we don't do on stage; things like, "Candle of Life" and songs from, "Blue Jays" like,"Saved By The Music" where I can get some audience participation. On this tour I'm going to do something special because we lost Ray this year and he and I have been friends and working together since I was 15. So I want to play a song as a tribute to Ray on this tour because we'll never play it as the Moody Blues but I'm also going to play it because Ray was an integral part of my life. I'm also going to play a song of Mike's because he was an integral part of my life as well; we were all Moody Blues together and I don't want those songs not to be heard again live on stage so that's why I'll be doing those."
Besides touring and recording, the future holds some fun for this bass master as he will be taking to the high seas but not on a Moody Blues Cruise this time."I'm joining Yes on Cruise To the Edge and heading down to Cozumel in Mexico, so anybody who has not been on a cruise come along and join me and join Yes and all of the other prog rock bands, it's a great time."
To obtain tickets for either area show, or discover more about John Lodge; please go to www.johnlodge.com.
That's it for this week! Please continue to support live and original music and until next week....ROCK ON!
