Too funny!
But true... I first heard the Moodies when I was 14... And my best friend's
MOM was into them! That was 1969. So there was an even older generation into
them. That means that along with all of the old geezers at the concert,
there were also fans who were probably invalids. Hmmm. That's why they sold
"Depends" at the Concession Stand.

I saw them at the Hollywood Bowl a few years ago. It took a whole
orchestra to reproduce what Mike Pinder did with the Mellotron. Sad.
The other sad part was that the other audience members were geezers
like me.......
