A rock and roll treat gave rock fans a chance to express their interest at the Boston concert. The concert made an exciting end to a week of Homecoming festivities. The near sellout crowd, standing for a large period of the concert, didn ' t hesitate to participate as Boston played from their list of hits like Don ' t Look Back, More Than a Feeling, and many others. Mixing guitars, drums and perfect harmonies, Boston proved theirselves as one of the top rock groups in the country and had little trouble convincing the audience that they were the best close for MTSU ' s Homecoming.

BLues November 12, 1978 Two white floodlights flashed on like hugh staring eyes, blinding the audience with their intensity . . . moments later the Moody Blues broke the darkness with the begin- ning notes of Slide Zone and the stage came alive! With hardly a break between songs they filled the audi- torium with the rich, orchestrated sounds of Tuesday Afternoon, Twilight Time, Heartaches and The Story in Your Eyes . . . and that was only the beginning. n the true genius of the Moody Blues they ignited the audience with some of their more recent composi- tions: Driftwood, Survival, and I ' ll Be Level With You. But the real showstopper came near the end of the concert when the Moody Blues played perhaps their most famous song Nights in White Satin leaving the audience absolutely slack-jawed with awe! They were in true form and exited to a three-minute standing ovation before returning for one last song to finish off one of the finest concerts ever performed in Murphy Center. Moody Blues 27
