1974 TOUR BOOKMOODY BLUES

1974 Japan Tour This is the 1974 tourbook that was made for the five shows the Moodies did in Japan. After the Japanese dates, the Moodies played two dates in Hawaii several in California before they disbanded to do their own individual projects. This is a hard tourbook to present because it is written in Japanese. The book is much larger than the previous tourbooks, and contains pictures of the Moodies from 1964 through 1974, when this book was printed. It is a fascinating look at Moody Blues history in pictures. I am certain that the history of the band is presented in print as well, and it would be shown here if I could translate Japanese. If anyone can read and translate this first page (the tour dates and cities), I would be willing to send the other pages for translation. |
