hamster Posted 13 March, 2009 Posted 13 March, 2009 BJH (Barclay James Harvest) sufered at the pen of critics as a "poor mans moody blues", but were and still are imho a far superior band. I take nothing away from Justin Hayward, but BJH hit the spot for me Thoughts?
St Landrew Posted 13 March, 2009 Posted 13 March, 2009 Both had their moments IMO. I have several of their albums, and sometimes they hit the spot magnificently. Rarely listen to either nowadays, but when I do it is almost always a pleasure.
hamster Posted 14 March, 2009 Author Posted 14 March, 2009 Everyone is is somebody else. Says it all t me, but was a defining moment in my formatib=ve years. I love Mill Boys.
Winnersaint Posted 15 March, 2009 Posted 15 March, 2009 BJH used to be about the biggest gig at Salisbury City hall in the mid 70's. saw them a good few time live. Happy memories of those gigs and seeing them at Malvern Winter Gardens on their Octoberon Tour probably autumn 76 or around then.
miserableoldgit Posted 15 March, 2009 Posted 15 March, 2009 I must admit that although I had a soft spot for BJH, The Moody Blues were more "mainstream" and I used to see them more often. Mind you "Go Now" by the original MBs with Denny Laine is a classic song.
Saint Luke Posted 16 March, 2009 Posted 16 March, 2009 I saw BJH at the Gaumont in the early 80's twice. Turn of the Tide and Time Honoured Ghost tours I think. Seems alon time ago now. Personally prefer BJH, although think Days of Future Passed is a classic album.
