Description:

The Moody Blues have been at the center of the progressive rock scene for more than half a century with their distinctive sound concept and melodic lines. The band became more powerful and more successful with the addition of Patrick Mollertz, formerly of the band Refugee-Jesus. The new Moody Blues toured North America with the release of their hit album "Voyager: Long Distance Voyager," which reached No. 1 on the U.S. album charts in 1981, and performed a concert in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, on July 18 of the same year. The concert in Hoffman Estates, Illinois on July 18 of the same year was recorded for the popular American radio program to promote the album, and was broadcast on the BBC in the UK, but was never released as an album. The original broadcast masters have now been found, and the album has been re-mastered to the best of its ability for this release.The setlist for the day included 21 songs, including encores, the entirety of which, with the exception of three songs that were not aired for broadcast time reasons, were included in the program. The set was composed mainly of songs from the new album as well as hits from previous albums, and was enlivened by the brilliant keyboard playing of newcomer Patrick Moraz. Imported domestic specs .
