About this concert
The electrifying show, ‘Performs Days of Future Passed’ encompasses a first set of Moodies classics featuring fan favorites such as ‘Isn’t Life Strange’, ‘Legend of a Mind’, ‘I’m Just a Singer (in a Rock and Roll Band)’ and ‘Ride my See-Saw’. The second set sees John and his rocking band perform ‘Days of Future Passed’ in full symphonic splendor, and with incredible renditions of ‘Nights in White Satin’ and ‘Tuesday Afternoon’. Come take a journey back in time with John and his band! Listen to John’s stories, the incredible vocal harmonies, the passionate musicianship, and the loving recreation of this groundbreaking album, as it warmly wraps around you, and creates Moodies magic that will stay with you for long after the music fades.
As Beneath a Desert Sky said, 'a must see show if you love classic progressive rock music or The Moody Blues music'
Some of the Moodies most loved songs were composed and sung by John, such as ‘Isn’t Life Strange’, and ‘Ride My See-Saw’, and these are brought into the show with a new passion by John and his band. He also performs his heartfelt renditions of songs written by Mike Pinder and Ray Thomas. Graeme Edge appears on screen for a very special video, reciting his poems, ‘Morning Glory’ and ‘Late Lament’. And to complete this special evening, Jon Davison of YES performs “Nights in White Satin”, “Tuesday Afternoon”, and other classic Hayward-penned hits. Jon has been the lead singer of YES since 2012, and brings his soaring vocals and passion to these classic songs. Jon is also John’s son-in-law, and seeing them together on stage gives a glimpse into their deep friendship.
“In crafting this show, I wanted to ensure there was a place for all my Moodies bandmates. It’s a joy to perform not only my own songs but those of my friends Ray and Mike, and to hear Jon sing Justin’s songs. But my greatest joy is seeing Graeme up on stage with me, it never stops being emotional. My hope is that we can all take a trip down days of future passed together, and that audiences will leave feeling as if something joyful happened to them. Thank you to all the fans for keeping the faith”

What fans are saying
March 26th 2025
Folding chairs were a bit of a surprise, but there was plenty of space to get up & 'hang' in areas rather than the seating. John Lodge, Alan Hewitt, Jon Anderson - all were in great energy & WHAT A SHOW! There was a break at just the right time & the crowd was sold out, enthusiastic and truly fans! "Isn't Life Strange?" was probably my fave. "Ride My Seesaw", "Peak Hour"...how can the guy be still rockin' so strong at over-80 and post-stroke? He's such a prize! SO glad it was less than 30 miles from home! Will never forget it! 'Johnny Rocker' lives on - and on - and on! And keeps sharing his gifts with us fans!

John Lodge Biography
John Lodge, legendary bass player, songwriter and vocalist of The Moody Blues, and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, will be back on tour in February and March 2024 in the USA! Following the critically acclaimed and sold out shows this year, John is continuing in his celebration of ‘The Moody Blues’ music, and the iconic album ‘Days of Future Passed’.
‘Performs Days of Future Passed’ encompasses a first set of electric Moodies classics featuring all the fan favourites such as ‘Isn’t Life Strange’, ‘Legend of a Mind’, ‘I’m Just a Singer (in a Rock and Roll Band)’, ‘Ride my See-Saw’, and so much more. The second set will see John and his band perform the iconic album ‘Days of Future Passed’ in its entirety, and in full symphonic sound. There are exciting changes from the original show, with new classic songs and deep cuts, enhanced video and dazzling lighting, all coming together to make a very special evening of great music and Moodies memories…. Come take a journey back in time with John and his 10,000 Light Years Band as they create audio alchemy for your listening and visual pleasure!
As Beneath a Desert Sky said, 'a must see show if you love classic progressive rock music or The Moody Blues music'
The show also features a special video and recording by Graeme Edge of his poems ‘Morning Glory’ and ‘Late Lament’. Jon Davison of YES also joins John on stage to perform the classic songs, “Nights in White Satin” and ‘Tuesday Afternoon’.
‘Days of Future Passed’ was released 56 years ago, and was arguably the start of progressive rock. These songs began the long standing cross-over between rock and classical music, and the Moody Blues shows were always known for recreating this incredible sound, and for the wonderful atmosphere.
John has surrounded himself with a band that are equally passionate, who put simply, love performing together, and who appreciate and respect the legacy of the music.
The electrifying show will also be in support of John’s album ‘Days of Future Passed – My Sojourn’, available now on CD and all streaming services, with a limited edition 180g Red Gold vinyl album available now.
