  • The Moody Blues sing Legend of a Mind in paris (1970). I had to edit the video so it would fit on youtube. So it may not be a clear copy like the rest of the videos in this concert in paris.

    Met Ray in Phoenix back in 2004 before he passed, what a great guy, ran into him at an IHop pancake house at 2 Am, sat for over an hour drinking coffee and talking about music and songwriting. RIP Ray, you have been an influence on me as songwriter

      @@darrellhambley7245 Hopefully, he is not another casualty of the drug epidemic and will turn up unscathed and in good health. If he has ingested a 'therapeutic' dose of LSD-25, then let us hope that his experience was enlightening and beneficial to his growth into a compassionate and empathic human being. D-lysergic acid diethylamide 25 has been a useful tool for my own spiritual growth and self awareness. Responsible use is beneficial in so many ways that one would be hard pressed to list all of them. It suffices to say that proper use enriches one's existence by stimulating a desire to have a deeper understanding of the purpose and meaning of that existence. My experience suggests that continued use isn't necessary, and more importantly, frequently maligns the role of this sacred substance to that of a 'party drug.'

    I just wanted to post a big thank you to Moodies Fan for this song in particular, but also for the concert from Paris as a whole - a truly wonderful experience. I also grew up on the Moodies and Pink Floyd, and this is just fantastic. I don't think the music dates at all. Just so much more creative than today. The only scary thing is that this concert is 40 years old - sort of gives your age away !

    Tune in, turn on and drop out. Flashing back to 71/72 sitting on the floor on a blanket. at the Sportatorium in Hollywoof, Fla. The sound crew drove the mellotron and flute right through us. At near thirty, I was just waking up to the fact that the 50's R&R was pretty much foundation and history going through a serious makeover. Today, as I listen to this, I'm 'there' once again.

      I agree, but back in the day apparently a lot of people accused the Moodies of being bandwagon jumpers when it came to their"psychedelic" credentials. I guess because they began as more of an R&B group? If that's the case then the same could be said about the Beatles and definitely the Stones.

The sound goes from one side of your head to the other by way of going from side to front or back to other side.

This song features it prominently and from what I understand it was/is a very temperamental instrument to play live. The boys do a wonderful job of getting all the effects right in this song.
