Shame - I was never into Duane Eddy but the Moody Blues were right up there in my list of favourite bands - spent many a happy hour mesmerized by their music. I used to particularly love their song Go Now - so sad that they've Gone Now...
I remember hearing Voices in the Sky in Bamberg on a German exchange in 1968...... a real 'ear opener' ....I had never heard music like that before...
Memories of music in Germany in the 60s. That would be around the time a friend and I were hitch hiking to Italy - and got stuck in Heidelberg late at night. We decided to shelter in an underpass, settled down for the night, turned the trannie on to hear Pet Clark singing 'Don't Sleep in the Subway'. A few minutes later we realised what sound advice that was - the mother of all thunderstorms broke and we were flushed out.
German exchange in Hamburg 1978 was the key moment (see what I did there? ) and the song was Highway Star by Deep Purple. I was already rock orientated, but that took things to a new level for me.
