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..

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • @keithbond9423
      @keithbond9423 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

I then got to watch the entire performance right next to the stage. I also was invited to enjoy the hospitality room with food and drinks. Of course I met Ray Thomas, John Lodge and Justin Hayward too. After the show Mike jumped in my van and I drove to the hotel. We went to his room and as he tossed a baggie of weed and a pack of ZigZag papers to me said, “Why don’t you roll a few, you look like you’d be good at it.” 😂 He was a total gentleman the whole time.
