True… Girls are always a welcomesite…
But even in the old days the Moodies had atough time replicating their vocals live. But the Beatles had the same problem…They were wise enough to stop performing live when they realized that theycould not do justice to their songs.
But you have to hand it to the Moodies.They did a great job back then… especially when you consider that therewere no stage monitors…

Myapologies, I am trying to respond to Bruce Daily's message about the
Moody Blues, but there is some interaction between Yahoogroups mailings
and my Thunderbird e-mail program that makes editing the prior message
impossible. Any helpful hints would be appreciated.
Anyway, Bruce said he had seen the Moody Blues in the Patrick Moraz era
and that the vocals, especially the falsettos, were painful. He asked
if they ever listened to themselves live. The answer is apparently they
did as they now utilize female backing vocalists to hit the high notes.
Yeah, they could have sampled the old vocals onto tape and then played
them back through a Mellotron, but the women look better. (-8
