John Lodge, legendary bass player, songwriter, and vocalist of The Moody Blues and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, returns to Ponte Vedra with his new show “Performs Days of Future Passed”. John, together with his 10,000 Light Years Band, will perform The Moody Blues’ iconic Days of Future Passed album in its entirety, with a special recording by the late Graeme Edge and performances by Jon Davison of YES. The show will also feature a set of the pioneering classic hits “Ride My See-Saw,” “I’m Just a Singer (in a Rock and Roll Band),” “Isn’t Life Strange,” “Legend of a Mind” and “Nights in White Satin” in what promises to be a truly spectacular evening.
The new show, based around the simple tale of “a day in the life of an everyday man,” will highlight all that made Days of Future Passed the ground-breaking album that it was–arguably the start of Progressive Rock. It retains the core emotion of the original album and recreates its incredible orchestration, but at the same time, it also brings in a modern feel thanks to the great strides in modern fidelity and the maturity that comes with the passing of the years. Listen to “Nights in White Satin,” “Tuesday Afternoon,” “Peak Hour,” and more fill the room, and you’ll be taken back to 1967, but at the same time, you’ll hear what John has brought to this new version in his vocals, bass, and harmonies, and how he sees the album 55 years later. In its own way, it can also be said to be a reflection of John’s own life.
