I spent last night sitting in the audience at the Mohegan Sun arena
watching the Moody Blues. I took my daughter (who loves Nights in
White Satin, and says she teared up when it was performed).
Not only was she one of the youngest people there, I was, too!!
This was a crowd of people mainly in their mid-50s and higher. Very
staid bunch, and I smelled NO pot at all, which for a concert is very
unusual.
The music was terrific, and they did a hits-heavy playlist, so
everyone went home happy. I do have a suggestion for John Lodge,
though: even if you're a rock musician, if you're in your mid-60s you
should not wear a snug short-sleeved shirt and leather pants. You
looked ridiculous. Wrinkly upper arms show up very clearly on the
projection screens.
The only bad part of the evening was the trip home. Who would have
thought we'd hit bumper to bumper traffic on I95 in Eastern
Connecticut at 10pm on a Sunday evening???
