To more interesting times

A friend of mine in an email mentioned the Moody Blues who were one of my favorite bands back in the day. Sure the Beatles, and the Rolling Stones were likely the most famous rock bands back in Grandpa’s days but I tended more to the American rock groups than the Brit groups with the exception of the Moody Blues. In particular, I liked their composition Tuesday Afternoon. At any rate I thought it would be fun to put up some of my favorites including the Moody Blues and the long version of Tuesday Afternoon. Here ya go…

Moody Blues playing Tuesday Afternoon, long version 1970.



Lee Michaels plays Stormy Monday at Fillmore East in New York City 1970.



Steppenwolf plays Born to be Wild 1969.



Canned Heat playing Going up the Country at Woodstock 1969.
