I had the privilege of mixing their live shows for about 12 years from '86 to '98. I really wish they would have include this song while I was with them.
There is a host of songs I would have loved to have heard during their many shows I attended during that time period. This one is near the top of the list.
Wonderful! One of my all time favourite Musical songs from the Moody Blues composed at a time when few knew of the dreadful situations we would face and how we might avert disaster. Brilliant song from John.
@tonyleach3061 at the same time came Surf's Up by the Beach Boys. Also an album of global and social warning. Songs as A day in the life of a tree, Don't go near the water, Long promised road etc. One of my all time favourite albums.
Avreed. Nkrda is a trained and lrkfesdional musician( flutist) and play in an orchestra. Ir's just that MB wanted her for her talents, akin to ray thomas, not bcos shes a lady. And as justin said, " must also look like a rockstar" . Bdw, ian anderson applied. He has always wanted to play that part in Nights white satin😊
Moodies have been a huge part of my life for decades...each song has a soul!! They are truly deserving of a Universe all their own!! Such insight, gifted vocals, musicians, and so very dedicated to their craft and fans!! Love you All forever and I thank YOU!!!! xxx
Fantastic music. This is a classic example of MB beautiful creative genius.They were unique for their creativity and the beautiful music they created. The music is timeless.
S a d we don't have song writers like this in our songs today. One if my favorites. I remember looking out of my window as a child as the world passed by.
@@thomasgahler4887 I was lucky enough and old enough (lol) to see them do OMTL live in concert in 1972, I beLieve. Just the five of them. Great show. Pinder’s mellotron was breathtaking.
Timeless songs! Moody's are the best by far. No comparison. Their music "sends you" places, places of mystery and wonder and even truth. They probe deep into the soul not just the head. I have been listening since 74 Im 65 now...never get old. Something so deep about their music and soothing and yet inspiring. None better!
This is first Moody Blues album I owned. My Mom bought it for me in 1971. Changed my whole perspective of rock and roll. I've seen them 7 times, from 1974 - Seventh Sojourn tour at the LA Forum, to 2009 at the Dodge Theater in Phoenix. Never seen them play this live. But I did get to see them play It's Up to You once at the LA Forum around 1983.
With the female addition to the song it is definitely a different sound and some fans may like it, but I for one do Not like it at all. I prefer to hear the original voices of the artists singing the song. When I pay to go see a concert I want to hear the song in its best original form with the original artists voices and version as much as possible. Just my own .02
@@MarkSperlik I saw Justin Hayward the other night, with three (very talented) impostors joining him on the Moody Blues songs. But that's the best we've got. I'll be seeing John Lodge next week.
@@iwanttobelieve9086 I’m a woman and I don’t think the Moodies have needed anything other than what they’ve had. Their wonderful voices. Ray has died but he was the only flute player they needed. The lady is very good but not any better than Ray was.
Outstanding song. I just played EGBDF on the turntable, so I had to watch this video again. My first Moody Blues LP was Seventh Sojourn, and the first concert was on the Octave tour. I'm sorry that I was too late to see Mike Pinder in the group. Can't believe that Seventh Sojourn was released 50 years ago.
Likewise Charles! My cousin played "Isn't Life Strange" every morning on his stereo system and of course I became a Moody Blues fan for life!!! My favorite song off of SS was M. Pinder's "When You're a Free Man", then buying all the other previous albums it was like X-mas morning with with each album. Saw them during the Octave tour for the first time in Madison, WI. I was a college student back when j. Wayne's 'War of the Worlds' double album came out and I could not afford it, but the Universe had my back and for some crazy reason I woke up in the middle of the night, turned on the radio just as the night jockey finished saying: "and in its entirety here is J. Wayne's 'War of the Worlds' so I got to hear "Forever Autumn"...
Wow - Outstanding job. This could be a very difficult song to harmonize the right way, but they all hit it spot on. Always one of my favorites from the Core 7 Days, and extremely timely in today's world.
Some days ago I made a comment about the fantastic talent of Justin-John-Ray-Mike & Graham' songwriting , their chords, musical harmonies etc. This song is another chilling example to prove it!
This is definitely John Lodge's best song and the recording is much better than the original track way back when. I don't mind that it was remastered. My compliments also to Julie Ragins for her excellent vocal work on this beautiful song.
This is such a beauty. Shows off John's writing, and Norda was so lovely on flute. She is their best, after Ray passed. More depth, more artistry is Norda.
The magic sound of Mike Pinder is missing in this cut... but they pull it off with the girls fabulous psychedelic harmonies.. this track is two fabulous songs mended with perfection
This must be a very difficult song to perform live with two vocal strains at the same time. Well done as always. Must admit I've had a crush on Julie for years. Still great to see her live with Justin's solo show.
Like the first light of dawn, this music opens your eyes to new promises and to all the wonders of nature. Evocative of powers beyond observation, these pieces pull the strings of the heart, attract nostalgia and awaken the loves, the skinned lives and torpor of the sleeping watchmen
And the two who learned the secret now are one both felt something from a distance never having touched or gazed into each other now together in every universe ✨️ 💛
It was sad to see the group gradually change and splinter off. Now it's only John and Justin left, and doing their own touring. Mike is doing his own thing. It was nice to see them together, while Graeme was still around, at the RRHOF. They seemed to be having a good time, with the guys and their families all getting together and socializing for a few days. Catching up on lost time.
Has there ever been a more meaningful song, with more deeply meaningful lyrics ever written? This song is more relevant today than ever... "He who wants to fight begins the end of time... One more tree will fall, how strong the growing vine... Turn the earth to sand, and still commit no crime... How one thought will live, provide the others die..." Think about those lyrics, in light of today divisive politics, with a party in power, that fosters hate, bigotry, narrow mindedness, ignorance, and intolerance at every turn...
Look out of my window See the world passing by See the look in her eye One more time to live and I have made it mine Leave the wise to write for they write worldly rhymes And he who wants to fight begins the end of time... For I have riches more than these For I have riches more than these Desolation Creation Tell me someone why there's only confusion Evolution Tell me someone that this is all an illusion Pollution Tell me someone Saturation Tell me someone Population Annihilation Revolution Tell me someone why this talk of revolution Confusion Tell me someone when we're changing evolution Illusion Tell me someone Conclusion Tell me someone Starvation Degredation Humiliation Contemplation Changes in my life Inspiration Elation Changes in my life Salvation Changes in my life Communication Compassion Solution Look out on the hedgerow As the world rushes by Hear the birds sign a sigh One more tree will fall how strong the growing vine Turn the earth to sand and still permit no crime How one thought will live provide the others die For I have riches more than these For I have riches more than these
Mañana te llamo para ver como te ha quedado el tema de las dos mierdas y te digo el bueno de las fotos de los videos de los que te he puesto a ver si hay alguna que no te gusta la idea que tengo de la mañana y las que no se ven en la foto de perfil que no se puede hacer en la puerta de mi hermano directamente I am not sure if you remember this or how I am but I have to say that I am not a fan at this time and I am very sorry for the way you do things like that you have to be a good person to me ha dicho.

Did you you do the 86 show at the Jones Beach theater.??? I was there. A with the Long Island Philharmonic.
There is a host of songs I would have loved to have heard during their many shows I attended during that time period. This one is near the top of the list.

very true on that and if your responding here then Bless ya. legend of a mind
Norda Mullen does justice to Ray's flute part.
Ray pretty much gave his blessings. He and Norda were good friends.
Then throws it all away when she starts goofing with Graeme 😑😖

I've never heard this live. I love it.
Check out the Moody Blues Live in Japan in 1974. Not only do they do this live, but its with Pinder.
Thomas Gahler And as a switch, Justin covers the lower registers of the vocals. At least it sounds like it.
@@thomasgahler4887 I was lucky enough and old enough (lol) to see them do OMTL live in concert in 1972, I beLieve. Just the five of them. Great show. Pinder’s mellotron was breathtaking.

Norda looking particularly lovely.
keyboards and crystal clear highs?
Rather impressive set of guns she has
Julie Raggins @@LostLk2hi
These voices are awesome. I love You Moody. Forever and ever.
If anyone knows any other who can top that please share it with the rest of us but I don't think there is. WOW ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC
Never saw this one!! They really are the best!!
The ladies have enhanced this version.
Brian Thompson Agreed, Brian. The Moodies have ALWAYS been great, but they've also needed a bit more of a female touch. This is the best.
Oh yes - Sol uuuuuu tion. That melted me.

Excellent!!!!!!!
One of most beautiful songs ever written.
This could be John's greatest song? 🎶
One of my favorite moodie songs!
one of my favorites for a very long time!
Riches only the sounds , sensations , and emotions that are felt through the music and performance of the MOODY BLUES.
This is such a nice version of this wonderful song with its beautiful messages.
Beautiful - simply beautiful.
Look out of my window... See the world passing by... See the look in her eyes... ❤

As usual, the Moodies are tops.!!
Excellent arrangement!
Great song by John Lodge I saw this perform this with the original band at my first concert -1974
Fantastic!!
You knocked it out of the park again. Thank you!
Shivers.
VERY cool! I would have given a lot to see this in real life. I always liked it and played it a lot during the college days.
Oh I just love this version - brilliant as always 💕💕
Well done!
And the two who learned the secret now are one both felt something from a distance never having touched or gazed into each other now together in every universe ✨️ 💛
I enjoyed this, thank you !!!!!
Wonderful performance, enchanting flute. 👏👏👏👏👏👏💕😚
The live version is powerful! I would be great if I could have it on my I Tunes!
I think they sing along with a studio version.
I love this song
Wow. That was really well done and just so nice to see and hear. Not normally on the set list.
Just lovely, thanks for posting.
Awesome
To me this is better than the original on the LP "Every Good Boy Deserves Favour" because of the enriching addition of the ladies backup vocals.
Φανταστικό τραγούδι και εδώ πολύ όμορφη εκτελεση❤❤❤
one more time to live
for I have riches more than these
Master pice.That's all!
Que buen tema... Muy bueno
Moodies rock the house
It was sad to see the group gradually change and splinter off. Now it's only John and Justin left, and doing their own touring. Mike is doing his own thing.

Incredible performance! And a great video! Is there a video of this full concert?
Weird seeing and hearing someone else playing the flute...
Great song but what are psychedelic harmonies?
The two ladies are pretty fine singers a d musucians ,but i do miss Ray and Mike deep deep feeling ,pretty beutiful song !!!
Look out of my window
See the world passing by
See the look in her eye
One more time to live and I have made it mine
Leave the wise to write for they write worldly rhymes
And he who wants to fight begins the end of time...

Tell me someone why there's only confusion
Evolution
Tell me someone that this is all an illusion

Tell me someone why this talk of revolution
Confusion

Changes in my life
Inspiration
Elation
Changes in my life

Look out on the hedgerow
As the world rushes by
Hear the birds sign a sigh
One more tree will fall how strong the growing vine
Turn the earth to sand and still permit no crime
How one thought will live provide the others die
For I have riches more than these
For I have riches more than these
Beautiful, but would have been more so with Mike playing his Mellotron. RIP Mike 😢

"remastered" version? come on...
I think the vocal track from the recording is playing underneath the band
