Just saw “Go Now” Saturday Night at Pope Joy Hall in Albuquerque! We had third row seats and it was our 50th Wedding Anniversary that day on May 4! Our marriage has been centered around the music of the Moody Blues! Concerts, 2 Cruises, and even our Wedding invitation had Words from a song from the Moody Blues! So we jumped at the chance to see Go Now the music of the Moody Blues on our 50th anniversary! The concert was so amazing and with the New Mexico Philharmonic Orchestra it was like listing to all those Moody Blues albums (with out the scratches!) The Go Now Band is the next best thing to a live performance of the Moody Blues! (or even better) Thank you for bringing your excellent music to New Mexico!! 👏Bravo👏

Sharing this wonderful video from the super talented flutist Amanda Blaikie who performed with us at both of our concerts  (3rd and 4th February 2024 ) with The Detroit Symphony Orchestra.
It’s an honour and huge compliment that we’ve been thought of as The Moody Blues! Of course we’re simply a band that has the privilege to celebrate the music of these iconic legends !

I’ve never had the pleasure of seeing the Moody Blues in concert although they are one of my favorite bands of all time. Go Now exceeded my expectations – fantastic musicians and performers. Although they weren’t able to play with an orchestra, their arrangements of the songs played was fantastic. I only wish they could have played longer. Made themselves available after the performance to meet the audience – very gracious and personable. if you have the opportunity to see these guys in person, do yourself a favor and make sure to get a ticket.

You all played a great show last night. “Go Now” sounded exceptional and the orchestra was amazing. Seeing you today for the second show, then in Columbus, OH in March. So, getting my serious and annual Moodies fix.

What a great show performed by GO NOW! and backed up with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. A true tribute to the Moody Blues. I look forward to attending future GO NOW! concerts when the group tours the Detroit metro area. The Go Now concert held on Feb 3, 2024 at the DSO venue attended by my family and friends was outstanding.
Randy B. February 2024

I was there, Gordy, with my friend, Debbie! We drove five hours from near Chicago to be there! Two shows were not enough! Words can’t express how amazing these performances were and how much I enjoyed them ♥️. Looking forward to seeing you and the guys again in May!!

……. my wife & I were treated to the show on Saturday! You were so amazing and the concert was spectacular! I wanted to attend the second show but it was sold out. The DSO is really a Detroit gem & proud to be a huge fan! GO NOW! is so talented, enjoyed their music &Moody Blues since the 1970’s.
Chris F. February 2024 

I was invited to this concert and am very grateful. The entire concert was wonderful and fun. Your flute solos were truly amazing. Thank you to the DSO and GO NOW! for a great concert. I’m a fan.
Kristin L. February 2024

 


She (Amanda Blaikie) was AMAZING. I’ve always loved the Moody Blues, especially when the flutes were featured! During today’s concert I sat back, closed my eyes, and was transported back 50 years! I’m still feeling “giddy” like a school girl. P.S. I loved when Gordy played as well! My favorite concert EVER! 
Myrtle S. February 2024  

Fantastic performance Sunday afternoon and a pleasure and honor to be in your audience at the DSO. Loved every minute of it…… many thanks for coming to Detroit!!!
 Jim S. February 2024

I was there and it was FANTASTIC!!!!! One request….. incorporate Ride My See-Saw in the playlist.
Colleen J. February 2024

“Brings tears to my eyes every time I see this, especially when in person at a show. GO NOW! Moody Blues Tribute Band presents their music with such respect and dignity, every show I have attended! Every detail, even the clothes they wear, the gorgeous suits, they all look so dignified, respectful. I think about Gordy’s dedicated, long term,  professional relationship with fellow drummer, poet, Graeme Edge and the rest of the Moody Blues. Brings (sic) tears to my eyes…..”

Hi Gordy, Mick, Nick & Patrick,
Just a short note to say thank you for a brilliant gig in Southport on Friday evening. Well worth the round trip from Glasgow. Friends and I really enjoyed the new songs in the set! Hope to see you on the road again soon.

John 19 April 2023
Playing Moody Blues for many years and visiting you in Lelystad was absolutely fabulous thank you, thank you, thank you. I was great !!. I was there with my first love, hadn’t seen her in over 40 years, listing to Night in White Satin, which I know by heart has now a different meaning. Life has a strange serendipity this will be our song for many years to come.
Thank you!!

Fabulous did not know what to expect, My wife and I have seen just about everybody from 60 s to the 70s these musicians are up there with the best, I saw Moody Blues originals Wycombe Town Hall, Go Now took me right back, cannot believe a show like that for £25. We were with our friends, one owner of a major sounds, lighting, and rigs company usually very critical, but could not fault anything. Thank you for a great evening, come back soon
 

Anna October 22 2022 Kleinhans Hall.
It was an absolutely magnificent show! Listening to the Moody Blues songs with the Buffalo Philharmonic was just fantastic. I felt surrounded by the music I love. Go Now did an awesome job of replicating every nuance and notes of my all time favorite group. Parking was a breeze and leaving was even easier.

 


Susan   October 22 2022 Kleinhans Hall.
The show was marvelous! I highly recommend seeing it if you get the chance!

Dr. Thanuja Hamilton September 18th 2022
Really so amazing! Thank you for a fantastic show. Been a subscriber to Philly POPS for years and this was one of my absolute favorites

Shelley and Les     Sept 16,17 2022
GO NOW! performing with The Philly POPS was pure magic and a true masterpiece. We’ve also been fortunate to see their ‘non orchestral’ concert several times. Both formats are music excellence at its finest. 
The GO NOW! band members are
world class musicians and the absolute  ‘gold standard’ when it comes to performing LIVE. 

Debby    September 19th 2022
One of the best Pops concerts in the last 15 years! Thank you!

My first Go now! Show. I smiled the whole time. They are so entertaining. If you never seen them before, then you should give it a go. They are rocking you out of your chair. You wanna dance and sing along the whole time. Believe me, it’s absolutely worth it. BrilliantTelford Oakengates

After watching the fantastic GO NOW! Livestream many times my wish finally came true. Very talented musicians performed a brilliant show. Flying to the UK was well worth.    Telford Oakengates

 

 

Ilonka     August 21st 2022     
This picture was taken at the Go Now! concert at clacton-on-sea in the UK 7.7.2022. Beautiful venue. We flew over from Germany just for one concert. The music is rocky and energetic. I can hardly sit on my chair everytime. I always want to stand up and dance. The best Tribute Band, if you wanna call them that. I think they deserve better than “Tribute Band”. Lovely and talented musicians. This year we were three times in the UK, just to see them perform. I think that says everything.        Clacton on Sea

My friend and I are so happy we got tickets to see GO NOW! at The Eisemann. It was one of the best concerts I’ve seen, especially from a cover band. I was blown away by all the talented and entertaining musicians that sang my favorite The Moody Blues music. I loved the the images they showed on the screen behind them and the sound & lighting team did an outstanding job. I bought the CD and was so excited about meeting the band members afterwards & they each signed my copy. Mick Wilson – I’m in love with your voice and you were so funny and your introductions of all the members was awesome. Can’t wait to go to your next show when you come back to Texas! You all were Brilliant!     Eisemann Center Richardson Texas

Vicki    June 8th 2022
They are great! They do the music of the Moody Blues justice yet add their own talent to enhance the songs. They are not a “sound-alike”Moodies Blues band. They give tribute very beautifully to them.

Ruth   Whitley Bay September 2022
Hi,
My Dad has been a huge Moody Blues fan all his life and I grew up listening to all the albums. Before I was even aware of it I knew every word. Together we have been to every Moody blues UK tour since my first one in the early 90s. Their music has bonded my Dad and myself so tightly over the years and when I saw that Go Now was a thing I bought us tickets to the Whitley Bay playhouse on what I think was your first tour. I was sceptical and we went it with guarded expectations. You guys blew our minds! And we have again seen many times since. Last night we again saw you in Whitley Bay and I just wanted to say Thank you. I was overwhelmed with emotion at one point just thinking about how happy you make my Dad (now in his 70s) and how special it is that we can still sit and enjoy our favourite music together live. We had another fantastic night!
Amazing work.
Thank you again.
KEEP THE FAITH ?

 

Brilliant!

What a great show. We enjoyed ourselves so much, the music was fabulous. My wife’s uncle Mike Pinder(founder member of the Moody Blues) would definitely approve of GO NOW.

First gig in 2 yrs for me and the wife and Wow the band hit the stage running so much energy for the first two songs left you breathless, then we were treated to so many classic Moody’s from all era’s . Just a fantastic night and a great audience.. The spirit of the Moody Blues lives on through these Great musicians …

When this group performed here last year, I got so many people reaching out to let me know how they thought this was the best show they’d ever seen in PebbleCreek, EVER”.
 —  T Baker, PebbleCreek Resort Director


PHENOMENAL, is the only word to describe GO NOW!
We first had the pleasure and unforgettable experience of watching them live at Medina Theatre march 2019, we could hardly contain our excitement at their return in march 2020, despite being friday the 13th, also the heightened awareness of the Corona virus on the island their loyal following came, and were duly rewarded with a performance that reached the pinnacle of excellence from this super group.
We feel humbled and completely honoured musicians of this calibre chose to play at Medina Theatre Isle of Wight, when they wouldn’t have been out of place on any world class stage or venue. The love, respect, and enjoyment, of the music is what shines through with Go Now, with an appreciative audience being the ultimate compliment. THANKYOU FOR THE MUSIC, is all we can say!!

Having seen these fine band of musicians several times over the last couple of years, this performance was exceptional. They just get better and better. The whole production was outstanding , and the interaction of the band members between each other and with the audience just comes across as people who are really enjoying what they are doing. A great night.

Hi Gordy,
I went to see on Friday at The Lancaster Grand Theatre. It was an absolutely fantastic night and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. it was just superb, so much energy with the instrumental and voices being just incredible.
Thanks
—Simon

Dear Gordy and company
We had the enormous pleasure of seeing you, and some other fabulous musicians, having a great time at the beautiful Grand Theatre in Lancaster tonight.
What a great gig. No one in that audience went home disappointed. You put on a great show.
We have been fans of the Moodies since for ever.
The Go Now show is fantastic, your energy is all pervading and I, for one, love it. We have seen you with the Moodies many times, loved the Buxton show with John Lodge last year, and will be both fans and promoters of your future shows.
Brilliant. Please keep it going..
—Geoff

We travelled through time and space to some weird and wonderful places, fuelled by classic songs from albums such as Days of Future Passed, In Search of the Lost Chord and On the Threshold of a Dream that fuelled the show’s other-worldly atmosphere.
Lest we felt too grounded in the interval between sets, the second half opened with music by Moody Blue’s Justin Hayward from the 1978 musical War of the Worlds.
The Go Now! concert tour was the brainchild of drummer Gordy Marshall who played with The Moody Blues for 25 years. He was joined by former 10cc vocalist Mick Wilson, guitarist Nick Kendall, bass player Malcolm Moore and Patrick Duffin on synthesizer.
Read Full Review
—Shropshire Star

If you wanted to see musicianship at its very best, you needed to be in Wimborne on Thursday of last week.
Although labelled a ‘tribute’ the band boasts Gordy Marshall, who toured with The Moody Blues for 25 years as a session musician. Not only is he a superb drummer, he plays the keyboard, the mouth organ and the flute. The credentials of the line-up are top class.
Vocalist and percussionist Mick Wilson fronted 10cc for many years; guitarist Tim Maple is a musical director who has worked with the likes of Westlife and Boyzone; Patrick Duffin on keyboards composed the music for Loose Women; Malcolm Moore has worked with the BBC Symphony Orchestra as well as working in West End shows and Lindsay Goodhand plays the keyboard, flute, clarinet and sax.
The band started on a high with ‘I Know You’re Out There Somewhere’ – and they just continued in the same elevated vein. Numbers ranged from the psychedelic ‘House of Four Doors’ to the melodic ‘Isn’t Life Strange’.
In addition, they included the haunting ‘War of the Worlds’ and ‘Forever Autumn’, and of course they had to play their signature number ‘Nights in White Satin’.
The concert was dedicated to Ray Thomas, founding member of The Moody Blues, who died in January.
This excellent band, who had a standing ovation at the end, promised to return next year.
—Marilyn Barber – Stour and Avon Magazine

My wife and I were at your concert at The Stables Wavendon, Milton Keynes on the 3 March and this a quick note to tell you much we enjoyed the evening.
The music was stunning as was the band’s interaction with the audience. The quality of your performance was exemplary, and it was a pleasure to be in the company of such accomplished musicians. I have been a fan of the Moody Blues since the release of “Go Now” in 1965 and really love their songs. I introduced my family to them at an early stage and they particularly love Justin Hayward’s contribution to “War of the Worlds.”
Thanks for a superb evening from such talented and humble people.
Best wishes for all your musical activities.
—C. Bn.

My hubby and me attended your do at the Wavendon Stables on Saturday night (3rd March 2018). You were absolutely fantastic. You should put your sound man in chains and never let him go!! My husband used to play in a band back in the day and I know how difficult it is to get a good balanced sound – he and you nailed it my friend!!
I get how you try to avoid doing an impression of the MB’s, but I fail to see how you can get away from the fact that you are actually that good, most of the people that I spoke to in the interval said so as well.
We both enjoyed the event in the extreme and can’t wait to see you again.
—C. B.

I would just like to thank you all for a brilliant night at the Stables MK on Saturday, my brother and I were blown away with how good you all were!
—K. P.

Just wanted to say that seeing ‘Legend of a Band’ in Eastbourne a little while back was my favourite concert of all time because of the technical precision of all players, the multi-instrumental and pure quality of each one of you. I’ve been lucky to have seen many concerts over the last 50 years including The Moodies 20+ times, The Blue Jays and even back to The Beatles, Cat Stevens, Everly Brothers, Jimmy Webb, Albert Lee, The Carpenters, The Crickets (my old friend J I Allison) and the incredible Buddy Rich BUT ‘The Legend of a Band’ concert that night in Eastbourne blew me away for which I thank you Gordy from the bottom of my musical heart. I’d dearly love to be a Facebook friend). I attach pic of J I Allison and me when he played here with the Crickets a few years back.

We went to see Go Now the Moody Blues show (Clacton UK) . The band were awesome and the show was even better than last years ! Five top class musicians on stage playing some of the best tracks from the Moody Blues. Led by Mick Wilson from 10cc and the original drummer from the Moody Blues made it a night to remember .Gordy Marshall on the drums ,flute and vocals was a real showman . The crowd bought the guys back for an encore at the end . A great night in a very good venue .
