*R.I.P.* *Mike* *Pinder* "Mr. Mellotron". Hell of a lovely chap, too - he and I communicated via email some 15 years ago. I'd mentioned that this is my favourite Moody's song EVER.
If you were to take just core seven songs that DIDN'T make it on to "This Is The Moody Blues", you'd still have a hell of a single "Best Of..." album. My proposed list: Evening (Time to Get Away) - Lodge (from "Days...) Twilight Time - Thomas (from "Days...") The Best Way To Travel - Pinder (from "In Search Of...) Om - Pinder (from "In Search Of...) Are You Sitting Comfortably - Hayward/Thomas (from "Threshold...") Gypsy - Hayward (from "Children's Children...") Out and In - Pinder (some listings include Lodge) (from "Children's Children...") Up To You - Hayward (from "A Question of Balance") Dawning Is the Day - Hayward (from "A Question of Balance") The Balance - Edge/Thomas (from "A Question of Balance") Our Guessing Game - Thomas (from "Every Good Boy...) You and Me - Edge/Hayward (from "Seventh Sojourn") And you'd STILL have several outstanding tracks ("Voices In The Sky", "Tortoise and the Hare", "Minstrel's Song", "Lazy Day", "Sun Is Still Shining", etc. etc. ) unaccounted for...
A great and powerful rendition of a tricky song to play live. Real musicians eh? Won't be getting this level of talent and technique again,any time soon

One of the best lines in a song: Thinking is the best way to travel!
