Toronto, Canada, May 04, 2009 --(PR.com)-- A rare, color performance of Nights in White Satin, performed by the Moody Blues on December 10th, 1967 at London’s Speakeasy Club, is now available for purchase and download on the iTunes Store. The color performance was filmed by a French production team for broadcast on the popular music show “Bouton Rouge”, and was captured within a month of the song’s initial release.
“Nights in White Satin did not hit the pop charts until 1972, making this a very rare video indeed” said Bruce Higham, a co-owner of OVOW Communications, Inc. “It is also remarkable that it was filmed at The Speakeasy Club, which was at the center of the music world in the ‘60s…in fact, Jimi Hendrix and Brian Jones were in the audience when this performance was filmed.”
The release has caught Moody Blues fans by surprise, and they have been celebrating this release in a variety of fan blogs, video sites, and Moody Blues forums. It is consistently generating five-star ratings, and has triggered a wide range of memories and acclaim. Here are a few selections of the comments:
