Hey, sonoman. I notoce you refer to The Moody Blues as touring with The Kinks in 1965. Though tour posters exist, The Moodys didn’t, in fact, get to tour. Permissions from the US government didn’t come through and they had to cancel. That was the incarnation of The Moody Blues with Denny Laine up front (he later joined Wings with Paul McCartney).
The Kinks went on alone, except for the two concerts at the NY Academy and in Philadeplhia, where they were with The Dave Clark Five.
This was also the tour that had the Kinks banned by the Musicians Union from appearing in the US for four years!
All this is great reading. Cheers
