Sad to hear
The Moody Blues is perhaps my all-time favorite band.

First vinyl album I ever bought for myself was The Best of the Moody Blues.
Wore the grooves out on that album.

Interesting that Edge is termed the “last original member” of the Moody Blues. If Justin Hayward and John Lodge weren’t “original members,” they were certainly present for the glory years. RIP Graeme Edge

A thousand years ago I was a kid at Chicago's Electric Playground, Moody Blues and Wishbone Ash led the bill. As WB played, I bumped into Ray Thomas as he walked the floor, probably my first brush with greatness. The Moody Blues inhabited their own special world at that time, underappreciated IMO.
RIP Graeme Edge.

RIP Graeme. The Moody Blues were one of my favorite bands. Glad I got too see them play a couple of times over the years.

Probably the lyrics to Late Lament is probably, Edge's best obituary:
Breathe deep the gathering gloom. Watch lights fade from every room. Bedsitter people look back and lament. Another day's useless energy is spent. Impassioned lovers wrestle as one; Lonely man cries for love and has none. New mother picks up and suckles her son. Senior citizens wish they were young. Cold-hearted orb that rules the night. Removes the colours from our sight. Red is grey is yellow white. But we decide which is right. And which is an illusion.

What a great song. I think this is the first one he wrote in its entirety. “Higher and Higher” off To our Children’s Children’s Children.

Minor point, but are you thinking of the Kinetic Playground?

Bummer. RIP Graeme.
