I don't know what the hype is over the ticket price. Are you kidding? 10 pounds for front row and center!!!How much more cheap could it have been so that the money you would have spent on the tickets would go to the BBC Childrens in need fund! All I can say is do it again Justin and I'll be there again! And spend the night outside all night again even if it snows to be lst in line for the front row! You ROCK!

I remember seeing Justin and the original band sitting on crates waiting for a van in seattle,early 70's.First Seattle concert,what a show,19 later,they are worth every penny.Wonder what it costs to lug all the equipment all over the world and rooms and meals etc.My bet,a fortune..Moodys forever...

anne boris,I feel you are wrong Anne to slag Justin off in this way!!!! I am sure that the prices were set higher to raise as much money as possible for Children In Need!! It is not in his nature to as you put it rip his fans off . He is a kind generous very caring kind of person.NOT a spoiled rich rock star as you so cruelly penned!!!!! HE IS DEDICATED TO HIS MUSIC ,FANS AND DREAM!Strange name Ghostwalker? Get a GRIP, and a LIFE. STOP FANTASING AND GET A LIFE!! Buy a blow up doll for goodness sake!!!! Move on with your life..... Dont fantasise you life away...........

I think Justin Hayward needs to get a grip. The ticket prices are unreal..He needs to spend time with his fans more than just the v.i.p. people.I have been a Moody Blues fan since the Blue-Jays days. All they really care about is your money. Sure he's a great singer and composer..but his greed makes him a rip-off. He is a spoiled rich rock star no different than all the others. I paid so much for my tickets it makes it so you can't enjoy the concert. He don't even care enough about his web-site to update it. If you don't believe me check it out yourselves. Justin is full of him-self...anne boris

I'm not sure who ghostwalker is, but what they say is pretty accurate.

For Justin (who no doubt remembers one of his own just like it - hence: those songs): Lonely souls we were two - with nothing better else to do - that one day said, "I think I'll try, to reach "my self" beyond the sky. I asked the question, "is it you?" your touch assured me, "yes it's true". I felt the music in "the sound" - harmonic note is what we found - elusive memory of your face - in a time I still can't place - a smile & kiss beside a stream - it only happened in our dream - that where we learned all we should know -then sadly said, "I have to go" -

Thanks for this Hayward show, BBC. And thanks for the photos. As usual with Hayward's photos, one of them looks like he could be from my Mom's family. But he is not at all. Best, Colette http://miceandchips.com/bluemood

Thanks for posting the sound check photos. I've been listening to BBC Swindon in anticipation of the event. I would like to ask if Forever Autumn will be in the setlist for the next US tour. Also, I'm glad that The Actor was added last tour. So many wonderful songs!!
