Days of Future Passed Live is a live album by The Moody Blues that consists of their live performance at the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto in 2017.[1] The album was released on 23 March 2018.[2]
The performance was the first time in the band's history that they had played the entire Days of Future Passed album live,[3] and is particularly notable for the inclusion of songs written by Mike Pinder, whose material has seldom been included in the band's live sets since his 1978 departure. Justin Hayward and John Lodge, respectively, sing lead on two songs that were originally sung by Pinder ("Dawn is a Feeling" and "The Sunset"). Noted British actor Jeremy Irons takes over Pinder's narration for the bookend poems "Morning Glory" and "Late Lament". On songs written by Ray Thomas (who retired from the band in 2002), Hayward and Lodge share lead vocals on "Another Morning", and Hayward sings "Twilight Time". The performance alters the album's sequence slightly, placing "Late Lament" before "Nights in White Satin".
