I was 15 years old when this song came out and I am now 71. Our Generation had the best music
Right there with you at 71
I'm 67. We did have the best music. Pure talent. (Unlike today) We had a wonderful variety of sounds in the rock genre. Made us expand our musical understanding. It all just made me so happy. It still does. Like nothing else.
Yes, we did, and I'm 75
100% right in that!
Yes we did and I’m 73. 😊
The Moody Blues were an English rock band formed in 1964. This song was released in 1967 on their album Days of Future Passed. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018.
Yes, the whole album is an artistic masterpiece.
2018??? The HOF is a disgrace!!
Sound of my teenage years. This was a favorite!
I have seen them five times and I can't describe how powerful the symphony orchestra backing them up is
They got regular airplay in Seattle through the 80's on the radio station KISW. (The music speaks for itself)
I am 73 and grew up on Moody Blues and others like them. Once it is in your blood it never goes away !!!
1951 was a good year.
I'm 72... Love these guys!! 💋💋💋😻💋😻🌵👵🐺🖖🌵
I love it when younger people "discover" classic rock performances!!!!
The lead singer, Justin Hayward, wrote this when he was 19 years old! He’s now 77 and still touring! His voice is still as beautiful and compelling as ever. I was blessed to have seen him live in 2022.
I saw him in June 2023, third row, ten feet away….my heart overthrown with love. And yes, he still has that voice! Just beautiful.

Thinking u will dig it 🫵🤗 I was in high school and in love at that time ❤️
Truth
Takes me back❤️💕
this song is fantastic , 1967 original ..... singers sounded the same in person (live) ... no auto tune , no gimmicks no half naked dancing ,, just sing and actually playing instruments
when you have talent and discipline , this is what happens
You know, there are some incredible musicians and singers today and that takes nothing away from groups like the Moody Blues.
It didn't do well at the beginning in 1967. So they decided to bring it out in 1972 as its own album which kicked ass.
It’s not crazy, it’s a musical MASTERPIECE! Appreciated by generations before society was musically dumbed down.
With all due respect, but thats just bullsht. There are tons of good young musicians out there making great new music and there always was crapy music around.
@@Max-se8demight be. Musicians nowadays rarely write their own songs, play instruments and most of all can’t sing without having to rely on auto tune.
Yep
@@Max-se8de Name me one today that can sing like that with no extra help. No synthesizers or any other additions to perfect their voices. Just pure talent and maybe I will take a look.
The 60's and 70's were unbelievable. The music, the cars, everything.
The Moody Blues are another big reason growing up with the music of the 60's and 70's was amazing. Their lyrics and poetry rival any of the classical poets.
I grew up in LA in the '60s-'70s. Going to Tower Records was the place to go.
Right on. I actually have the album.
Late 50s,60s and early 70s had the best music ever.
Amen to that!
Awe, same here. Those were the days...some seriously heavy deep music.
This my friend is called 'music' i feel really sorry for people who dont know about what i was raised on ...real music from the 60's,70's and 80's you have missed SO much.
Agreed. That was a time before pitch correction and autotune, synth and other corrective additions to vocals and music. You had to be damned good on an instrument or singing to make it to the top 100 on the radio.
I’m 67 and first heard this as a youngster and this is still as fresh and beautiful as ever. A song you can NEVER tire of .
He’s been holding that note for over 40 years and they still sound the same. And yes it’s Rock. And thank you for showing God respect. Good on you. 🫵🏼
50 YEARS LATER, THIS STILL PIERCES MY SOUL. STILL SOUNDS SO GOOD. You should check out their albums.
Still listening after all these years. Love them.
Have every American released album and two European live concert albums.
No digital enhancement either.
A Question of Balance epitomises this band.
A bloody masterpiece !!!!!!!!!!!!😎🇦🇺🦘
Hell Yeah!!!
Younger generations don't know what they are missing. These were epic songs we all grew to love in their time.
73 years old I lived it and I loved it back in the sixties , old man now but it still brings tears to my eyes ...you can never imagine what you missed , unfourtantly...
I'm 72 and loved this song since it first came out. I had the album and would listen to it over and over. We had great music in the 60s and 70s. We grew up at the absolute best time.
This song is over 50 years old, great when I was an 11 year old still great at 67.
I'm 61 and grew up to everything Dean Martin, am ArmyAircorp/AF brat and very eclectic in my music. If it has nothing to say I'm not interested in it. If it's all vulgarity, not interested. Want full circle? The Highwaymen. Song is the same name. Now there's a story with 4 GREAT singers.
I was 15 and this was one of the first albums (8 track) I owned.
Someone once told me that there is a lot about the Ba’Hai faith in the Moody Blues’ music. Anyone else hear that?
Adding/ The Balance is another of their songs often used as an example of this.
I concur! I still love this band and this song...actually...all of their stuff. I'm a couple of years older than you. First time I heard them I was 14 and fresh from England and The Beatles.
Thats called MUSIC.... real MUSIC
👍👍👍yep 👍👍👍
Indeed…you know it’s real music when it never dies!
The best ohh yeah !!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤟🤟🤟🤟
Das ist Musik!!!!!!!
After over 50 years, the Moody Blues can still sell out a stadium in minutes.
I was 13 (back in 1973) when my older brother made me sit down and listen to The Moody Blues. I've loved then ever since.
Love, love, love this song! Been listening to it for at least fifty years.
Pareillement incroyable culte icônic je suis tellement émue à, chaque fois j'écoute cette magnifique chanson mes années folles nostalgie souvenirs inoubliable
Me too! First single I ever bought, and I immediately started saving up for the LP...
Been listening to this since the early 70's. They sound just like they did back then!
@@GrandmasGonnaFlip Same! 😊
a favorite haunting song of that era!
No auto tune there - just talent. Beautiful and a classic. 😍
Yes, no digital enhancements. Just raw talent.
@@blackberrybramble2843 How lucky were we that the music we grew up with that this was the norm? So much real talent - not about the looks but TALENT!!
@AmethystDew Yes, we were. And I feel particularly lucky that I had some extremely talented friends who practiced in my house back then. One day, a repairman was in during a practice session and stopped dead in his tracks. They were so talented - they were doing some Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Those guys had wonderful voices and amazing guitar skills. They had resonant, beautiful Gibson and Fender guitars, a friend who played a mean sax, and I had a four track reel to reel. We were all poor. What great art we made. I loved those days!
I'll never stop loving the Moody Blues 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Hello!? The Moody Blues is a Rock Band. They started in the 60's. They were abd still are very popular. They will go down in history as one of the best legendary Rock bands.
Moody Blues is a rock band from England. The lead singer has pipes and can still sing like that.
I grew up in the 70's when the best rock bands were alive. The Moody Blues always had a full orchestra which was unheard of in that time. If you liked Nights In White Satin you should listen to Tuesday Afternoon, it was my favorite by this band. Just a feel good song.
Oh ! Yes ! Def !
The 2nd version of the Moodies was a big hit in Britain & U.S.
Saw them in the late 70’s. I do not remember an orchestra
@@bobbiehofer4924 They didn't always have the orchestra live. I saw them twice on one tour and the London Albert Hall concert had the full orchestra but at Oxford they didn't.
I remember being in college in 1972 and listening to the sounds of Tuesday Afternoon floating through the afternoon air and just sending me into ecstasy.
They never stopped singing so they kept their voices stayed in shape. Beautiful song.
The bands and groups of the 60’s & 70’s were outstanding. Their music was unadulterated as were their voices. They sound alive rather than the computer, artificially perfect tuned music that is manufactured today. I’ll take my generation’s music any day.
It’s becoming popular again today or all the TH-cam reaction channels wouldn’t be playing it. It stands the test of time.
Omg! Justin Hayward is now 77 but still rocks it!!! This is from 1967. My time I'm very proud to say! I'm 73 and always listen to MB! The best of music!!!!
Yes Karen. Great times. Nice memories
This is not from 1967
@@jtotheb4742She meant the song, not the performance.
The lead singer, Justin Hayward, wrote Nights in White Satin when he was 19 years of age - incredible. It was amazing to grow up during the 60s and 70s, with so much amazing music that is now being discovered by young people through TH-cam reactions. I love seeing you discover it.
I will mention that it was loosely based on a song called The Storm, by The Hunters, (our early 60s band used to play it) worth a listen but no criticism intended, this is how music evolves.
Justin was born Oct 14, 1946 and he wrote Nights in White Satin when he was only 19. The song was released in 1967.
That is exactly how it sounded. Absolutely beautiful then and still is. Why? Because THAT is real music, real talent, real artistry.
It is called Progressive ROCK. Thinks is just the tip of the iceberg of their catalogue of genius ❤❤
Also called "prog rock" for short. When I was in college a new friend who was a few years older than me looked at my record collection and said "you have to be a certain age to have been into prog rock". Never forgot that.
This came out in 1967.. this video is missing the spoken word poetry that comes after the toon on the album called "Late Lament / Resolvement".. The Moody Blues were Prog gods.. Their "thing" was mixing symphonic music with rock and blues.. This song is off of one of the first truly successful concept albums, Days of Future Past.. You should listen to it privately start to finish, headphones on with no interruption.. its an amazing ride. And yes, the original was recorded with a full orchestra
I love the song but to me it really looses something without the spoken word piece....
Exacyly...it's not the same without The Poem at the end
@@brianopp7595Breathe deep the gathering gloom. Watch light fade from every room……
The London Philharmonic no less.
I missed the spoken part, wish it was included. Fantastic performance nonetheless
There are many older and old singers that still have it. Thank God for that.
This was and will be the best love song ever written.
-A millenial hoping to keep classic rock alive into the next 60s
You need to listen to the studio version. There's a haunting poem at the end.
I was hoping it would be on the live version. It's called Late Lament.
If this 75+ year old brain remembers correctly-
“Cold hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the color from our sight
Red is gray and yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion.”
It sounds right to me!@@mypetcrow9873
You are correct, I can't believe I still remember and you just confirmed it.
Late Lament (the poem at the end):
"Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bedsitter people look back and lament
Another day's useless energy is spent
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one
Lonely man cries for love and has none
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young.
Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colors from our sight
Red is grey, and yellow, white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion."
How can you be 40 years old and have never heard Moody Blues Nights in White Satin? This song and Stairway to Heaven was played so much I couldn’t stand it after awhile.
I saw them in concert in 71 when I was 14, One of the best shows that I can remember going to, their sound filled the arena. It was fantastic
you know you're getting old when you learn from a younger friend that they never heard of a singer that's considered a "rock" icon, or know what a movie is that think is a classic.
This is the side of Rock and Roll that many have forgotten--BALLADS. Great song. Slow dance. Wrap your arms around you love and get lost in the music. Many rock ballads used compound meters (derivatives of three), like this one 6/8 meter. Gentle rocking, Magic. Moody Blues were/are a great progressive rock band. Thanks for the reaction.
My wife and I were lucky enough to see the Moody Blues live with our local symphony. What a great show.
Moody blues...one of the most awesome groups ever...blows my mind young people dont know who they are!
The Moody Blues were one of the first Rock bands to do Tours and have regional orchestras join them in concert.
Brilliant!
Dude -as a full time rocker / headbanger metal head - if you've never been to a symphony-orchestra performance, go one time at least - take your wife - there is nothing like it. Powerfully moving ! !!
Yes the original was with a full on symphony.
Somehow 'Nothing else matters' seems to me is a bit inspired by this song.
London Philharmonic.
@@gracecollins8415 London Festival Orchestra.
@@nellgwenn The London Festival Orchestra was an independent orchestra established in 1980 and conducted by Ross Pople. Ten years after ''Question of Balance''.
Justin Heywood has that heart breaking quality to his voice that can just pull at your heart, I could listen to this all day, we had the best music way back then.
It's an awesome song and the poem at the end on the album made it something more. 💕
70 year old here. Lucky to have grown up during the time when the UK and US had some of the best musicians and bands. ❤
Awesome song ……. Everytime I played the album, my mom would come and sit next to me….. she loved them !!!! Moody Blues we’re huge in the 60’s and 70’s I believe before your time. A true MASTERPIECE !!!😘
Lots of beautiful diverse music from numerous bands in the 1960s and 1970s. All pure talent. No auto tune. No computer sounds. The radio was blasting with powerful talent 24 hours a day. These bands loved music and loved to share their music.
It came out in 1967 and the singer, Justin Hayward, was only 19 when he wrote the lyrics.
Growing up in the '60's was an incredible moment in time for music. Doesn't get much better than this
I'm now 76. This song came out when I graduated from highschool. Moody Blues. So great!❤
Best song ever written. A MASTERPIECE.
Tears. Wishing I could dedicate this to my late husband. I miss him so much and still love him with all my heart.
Same here. 😢
Me, too❤
Sorry for your loss.
Best wishes 😢❤
Same ❤❤❤❤
I'm 68 & have been listening to this song since 15 years old. Back then every night when to bed listening to this song with headphones on. One of my top 2 songs ever.
They sound amazing because they take care of that voice! I used to listen to this on the radio, going to sleep every night. True Musicians.
RIP Veteran Cosmic Rockin Ray Thomas and drummer Graeme “precision” Edge. Thank you for the best music of my generation. 💕
Oh, son son son... time to do some educating! This one is from "Days of Future Passed" 1967. Read up on it and listen. Although not an immediate hit with the public, it grew to be a seminal album not just for them but for Rock. My favorite album would be their next one, "In Search of the Lost Chord" in 1968. Like so many albums of the time you really owe it to yourself to listen to the entire thing, not just cherry pick songs here and there. Each is a complete body of work unto its own and well worth the listen.
I'm 71 and I still remember all the words. Thank you for listening to this wonderful music.
I have seen them live over 20 times. when they played at Red Rocks the first time i saw them, it was lightly raining . Then the blue laser lights were reflecting off the raindrops, everybody was freaking out. It was so cool, and i will never forget it.
The music of the Moody Blues is fantastic.I think they are underrated.
Why do people always say that? They are not in any way underrated, they have legions of fans, sold millions of albums and are in the music hall of fame....I've even seen someone comment this on Bowie..ridiculous!
I agree . Love them
@@lynnhamps7052 I'm just glad not to hear "criminally" underrated this time. That gets tossed around a lot too. Maybe the people making those statements realize that THEY have been underrating the band or individual all along and that's how they express their redemption! I'm not a shrink, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express one time.✌
there's that stupid word: underrated. Always used by your clueless generation. Nobody who ever listened to them in real time would even imagine such a descriptor. FFS they were mega-rated, everyone knew of them.
This is crazy how good they are 50 years later. I believe this was from a concert around 2017 or so. This is great, but man this full orchestra verision in surround sound is other worldly. You missed out not being a child of the 60s and 70s, but it's great to see you reacting to them now. You GET it!
this is from "Hall of Fame" concert at Londons Royal Albert Hall, in August 2000.
Quadrophenia, precursor to surround sound.
If you keep singing, your voice will stay strong. My neighbour is in her mid 70's and sang in opera companies all over the world. She still sings every day and can belt out any Wagner soprano part with perfection. Its a daily treat. Age is just a number
My young friend I'm 80 year's old MOODY BLUES has been around for years they are favorites of mine then and now 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
They started Progressive rock. They started as a Blues/Soul band. The singer was 19 when he wrote and first sang this song. Because they were struggling when this song hit, they used a metronone, then the orchestra was added.
this is only partially true. The original album version of the song used both the mellotron and the London Festival Orchestra. The mellotron was used during the main body of the song for the "orchestral" sounds, but the orchestra was used during the intro, the final chorus and the ending portion called "final lament". So if they hired the orchestra for part of the song, I doubt the use of the mellotron in the other parts was fully a financial decision. Mike Pender, the mellotron player in the Moody Blues worked at the factory that made the mellotron. His job was to install the tapes and make sure they were in tune and set up properly. He liked the sound and the potential it gave them to take their music beyond what it had been.
Except that the LFO wasn't real, it was a group of session musicians.@@keithbond9423
I have to throw ELP in there for the beginning of prog rock as well. Great bands. You experienced their albums.
The Moodies come from the same area and genre as The Beatles and The Who and played palled around with them and played in the same clubs in England. They came to America maybe two years later. Started out as a Blues band and had a hit with "Go Now" but "Nights in White Satin" was their international hit, and the album (Days of Future Past) was a monumental album in the history of rock music - the album that started the "Progressive Rock" genre - mixing rock and classical music with sensitive and ponderous lyrics about love and loss and even religion. They were British Hippie Rockers. Had many huge albums in the Sixties and Seventies, and made a comeback in 1981 with the song "The Voice" and the album "Long Distance Voyager". In the mid-Eighties they had two wonderful hits with "Your Wildest Dream" and "I Know You're Out There Somewhere" which are two of my favorites. They often have a haunting melancholy sound with profound lyrics, but their Eighties songs are sentimental uptempo love songs. Love Me Some Moodies!
One of my favorite songs and bands. I have seen them many times in concert. This song came out in 1967. Please react to more of their music. The 70's were the best!!!!!
Love this song. It was so popular when I was in high school. Every band covered it. They were so unique, and the instruments spoke to my soul.
Amazing how many people these days haven't heard of so many classic bands. Moody Blues were huge
I know 😮 When he said he'd never heard of them!! When did these Brilliant Bands fall through the Cracks of Musical History? 😢
@@DorothySpang I was 17 working at 7-11 for $1.65 hour when this song was all over the radio! I guess that, given he is 30 years younger than I, he can be forgiven for his ignorance.
Moody Blues are the beginning of progressive, symphonic rock. They, and bands like Procol Harum, Yes, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, and King Crimson created the genre.
Interstingly, they credited an orchestra, the London Festival Orchestra, on the album that didn't actually exist. It was some session musicians and a Mellotron, a keyboard instrument with tapes of instrument sounds. They were afraid people wouldn't believe it was real.
Some of the best times in my life with this music.
Now you see why we say the 80's music was the best. You get EVERYTHING in one song. Everything.
80’s were good…This was from 1967.
I'm 70, and graduated from high school in 1971. I was on the school newspaper staff, and the newspaper office was located in a "colony," a temporary building on the school grounds but some distance from the main building. We (newpaper staff) were basically a bunch of hippies and had a whole setup for ourselves out there, including a record player and a bunch of albums. The Moody Blues album was played a lot, along with Emerson, Lake and Palmer and Creedence Clearwater Revival. (Lots of others but memory fails me!) I wish I had fully realized and appreciated then what an incredibly good time that was in my life!
This was perfect, this song came out when I was 11 years old. Almost 70 and iit's still great
Remember this came out in 1967. We loved our generation so much, all our bros & sisters ✌️☮️
I’m 70 and a big Moody Blues fan. I love your face! 🥰
This song is one of the best songs ever written it was released as a single 3 different times and was a hit every time
This song is one of the Super Classics. It is at or near the very top of any list of great classic rock songs. It's their biggest track.
My grandmother bought me my 1st Moody Blues album, 'Every Good Boy Deserves Favor', for my 13th birthday. The guy at the record store recommended it. Lol. She had no idea, and I had an awesome introduction to them.
I asked for that album for Christmas when I was 13, too.
I thought Jethro Tull did Every Good Boy Deserves Favor. Which is a mnemonic for musicians to memorize a scale.
The Moody Blues have a lot of hits. Some have more of a rock sound but they were extremely popular in the late 60s and 70’s. I always liked Your Wildest Dreams.😊
The greatest generation in music ever....nothing will ever compare. My generation of music was very prophetic and stood the test of time.
The Moody Blues are amazing!! This is another band I grew up listening to! They're very theatrical! A few of my favorites by them are Tuesday afternoon, Your wildest dreams, I know you're out there somewhere, and Ride my see saw! So good!!! Definitely check out Procol Harum - A whiter shade of Pale!! You won't be disappointed!
Although I love Conquistador as well
Agreed and either one has to be the live in Denmark version with the orchestra
Oh, totally with you on the Procol Harem. A Whiter Shade of Pale is *so* good.
I'd add The Hollies - He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother to go on the theme of Procol Harum...unless BP already reacted to it. Someone has recently and I can't keep up. I watch a lot of these. Many of my 60s/70s music are what I call the Viet Nam era songs. I used to trip my oldest son out when I'd start singing a song from a Supernatural episode because I knew them before 2005.
@angb4132 Love the Hollies!! Long cool woman in a black dress is one of my favorite songs!!
to opt to do a flute solo over a guitar solo, just makes the song a memorable song, love it!!!
Flute and Sax solos were popular in rock back in the 60's & 70's
As a little kid listening to this back in the day blew me away. I’m so grateful to my older brother for liking a lot music back then and introducing that music to me.
Please, please, please, do yourself a favor and listen to the recorded version of this song to hear the poem at the end of the song. It’s another aspect to this song that will blow you completely away. ❤ 🤯
My boyfriend (now husband of 50 yrs) lived in Moody Blues world in the 69-72 yrs. It was an enchanted time.
I'm 70 and when this song released it was everything. People loved it including me. Even to this day this is still one of my favorite songs. Glad you featured it, brings back lots of great memories. ❤
About the voice, it does not go away if you don't abuse it. That's why the technique is important, to not hurt your physical instrument.
And yeah, this song was huge, back in the day
It’s always a treat when the Moody Blues plays with an orchestra. Justin was only 19 when he joined the Moodies and recorded Nights in White Satin and Tuesday Afternoon. I first fell in love with them on that album Days of Future Passed. In this video I think he’s in his 50s.
I am glad I grew up when music was this good. I still love and listen to all the old groups. They were the BEST!!!
This song was originally released in 1967. Actually the Moody Blues are a rock band, this album "Days Of Future Past" was one of the original examples of a genre known as Progressive Rock. Listen to the album version , it's even more epic! The older singers that still have their voice are those that took care of their voice over the years.
Moody Blues in this video are a class act who have been singing this song for decades!
This is my first time hearing this song, and it is beautiful. The music from the 60's, 70's, 80's & 90's was the shit! They don't make music like those times anymore. I loved growing up back then, and wouldn't trade it for Nothing in the world!...I just found out this song came out in 1967 (I was 3yrs old)
He has such a beautiful and controlled voice. Phrasing is effortless, enunciation as clear as a bell. He only powers up his volume when he wants to - he doesn’t have to squeeze out a yell just to reach a high note.
- Orchestration is a core part of their sound (i.e.not just an addition for this concert).
He is 65 when singing this. I love this song, i was in elementary school when this came out. Played this on my violin😀. Love your videos, so diverse!🙂✌️
Actually yes the original sounded just like this! 😅 Check out their albums. They were incredible! This was the music I grew up with. I became a musician myself, and these are the songs we still cover. My generation won’t be around much longer, so it is so sweet… so beautiful and exciting to see young rapper artists hearing our music for the first time! Thank you for taking the time to discover the great classics of the 60’s and 70’s! 🙏🏻 ❤
The flute is beautiful.
A progressive band . One of the best classic bands ever. Justin Hayward has a very distinct voice . Their music is fire ❤
I have shivers all through me. They are so fabulous. Always loved them.
This song came out in 1967. Moody Blues is considered a rock band, however they were one of the first to play around with adding the sound of an orchestra to their songs, and it became a major part of their sound. The awesome singer for this song is Justin Hayward.
Pure talent just his OWN voice / band 60's 70's
