- 1968......#61 U.S. Billboard Hot 100, #42 UK Singles Chart
LP version with "Departure" intro.
Original video edited and remastered with HQ stereo sound.
"Ride My See-Saw" is a 1968 single by the English progressive rock band the Moody Blues. It was written by the band's bassist John Lodge, and was first released on the Moody Blues' 1968 album In Search of the Lost Chord. It was the second of two singles from that album, the other being "Voices in the Sky".
Billboard described the single as a "blockbuster rocker" that "comes on strong with all the ingredients to spiral [the Moody Blues] to the top in short order" and a "mover from start to finish." Cash Box called it a "dance track with powerful teen attraction" and "polished vocals."

Данная музыка выглядит так как будто её записывали для фильма стражи галактики 3 где в самом начале фильма начинается полет корабля и там Питер Квил слушает данную песню подаренный одним из земляков в месте с новыми наушниками.
This music looks as if it was recorded for the film Guardians of the Galaxy 3 where at the very beginning of the film the flight of the ship begins and there Peter Quill listens to this song donated by one of the countrymen in a place with new headphones.
Yep. Yep. Yep
Still a great song in July 2024...😂
The live version of this at their concert in Colorado at Red Rock was an amazing version, really amazing imho
Crank it up
Yes 😊
What times we enjoyed
Working on the assembly line, it's Friday and I'm enjoying the time go by with these guys.
❤️🔥✌️
I just saw John Lodge, who wrote “Ride My See-Saw”, last night. He’s 81 years old now, recovering from a stroke he had last Christmas, and he still put on a phenomenal show. This song was his encore. It brought the house down, along with other great Moody Blues songs he performed.
70 years old and still enjoying them..
they seem more talented today than ever.
I have their vinyl album somewhere. 🙂
Same here!
Such a fabulous group! Loved Days of Future Passed. The 60's and 70's were awesome!
2024.07.24 Still as magical of a ride as it was 56 years ago.
Best song by the Moodies, it's like a train running wild and never to stop. 100% excitement!
The Moody Blues have never made bad music, amazing band !
Really only one bad song in all of their discography.......Top Rank Suite.....I wish they never did it.
I was so lucky to be born and grow up with these guys. 60s and 70s. What a time for music
Berzactly. Me Too!
me too 😃
I agree wholeheartedly
Takes me back to my hometown in Chandler, Az. What a time to be! ❤
@@MareShoop nice place
R.I.P Denny Laine, Clint Warwick, Graeme Edge, Ray Thomas and Mike Pinder.
Are they all gone? No way. Tell me please. That so hard to believe…
@@antoniodelrey164 Denny Laine, Clint Warwick, Ray Thomas, Mike Pinder, and Graeme Edge have passed. Justin Hayward and John Lodge are the only two left.
@@richardthomas6331 thanks 6331. That’s sad. Hard to believe most have passed on but we’re all getting up in age…
@@richardthomas6331 : Who are Justin and John in this video?
@@PalaniRides Justin Hayward plays electric guitar and John Lodge plays electric bass
This sounds as GREAT today here in 2023 as it did when I first heard it in 1968! Long Live Quality Music!
Some music is timeless.
define quality in regards to music, please?! sounds excluding and selfish.
@@morbidmanmusic Created with great imagination;-) (Thank you for asking)
@@morbidmanmusic Quality as in wayyyyyyyyy better than MC-Bodybag, Fifty Cents and all the other ridiculous garbage that they put out today
They were ahead of their time! Still fresh and relevant!
I have had this album, many many yrs. Great band. Winwood/ Capaldi. Roy b, CapeTown south africa 🇿🇦
I'm almost 67 yrs old. I knew this song from years ago but god I forgot how absolutely cool and ahead of it's time it is. Thanks. Nice to see and hear it again.
Thanks.
69...with ya brother
68 with you also 👍🏻
Same
❤
These guys still produce original music in 2024..... weren't we lucky to hear them first time round?
this is great on the resolution and also the sound. they were so young looking like kids having fun playing rock and roll.
Wow! They sound fantastic!!
I remember lying in the dark as a 9 year old in 1968 with this song playing in my head.
Even after 55 years I cant believe how much their music influenced my generation. Really, no words are enough.
It’s better than ever!
It’s a kinda funny 😁 song.
Really happy song, excellent video that makes me smile!
My most enduring favorite band. The _fathers_ of progressive rock. RIP Ray, Graeme, and now Denny Laine.
The Moody Blues took us along as we all explored new horizons through their music & lyrics. Their songs became the foundation of my philosophy on life. Man, these guys were dialed in!@@Broody58
Amazing footage , of a step back in time with one of the greats , The Moody Blues. Thanks for sharing.
One of the best Rock songs of all time.
If you grow up in the 60s and 70s you knew that The Moody Blues were special
Every now and then you have to have something a little special besides hard rock and they are kind of hard rock but in a real mellow way
"a kickass rock band" --Ann Wilson
Their entire discography belongs on the shelves of every serious record collector 👏
I have 2 vinyl records and always get a thrill whenever I listen
@@donaldrhodes8761 Nice, which ones!?
Agreed!!!
Great great band very important band they bridged symphonic pop and progressive rock.
@@ledhed927 no
Outstanding, part of my youth.
Great music, great memories 😊
My favorite band ever since 1969!!!
Moody Blues created some of the greatest sophisticated rock albums of all time. From 1969 through about 1975 no group reached such great heights of pure genius. Every song took us on incredible trips. They were so influential in rock history.
They were a good psychedelic pop band, but to put them above Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin? Not a chance.
Actually, their finest music was recorded between 1965 to 1971.
You are forgetting the dark side of the moon. Sorry to say they were on the same level
Did you stop listening to the moody blues in 71 because some of there music was un comparable Like money from dark side of the moon
@@richardharrold9736they were every bit as great as Led Zeppelin I have seen both bands multiple times I saw Led Zeppelin every year from 68 to 75 and I think you didn’t see Pink Floyd enough how about Go Now there first hit in 61
One of my favourite fast R &.R songs!
That drummer is a hell of an athlete to maintain that beat for over 4 minutes.
Graeme Edge in his prime was a monster. But playing like that is a younger man's game. I saw the Moody Blues on tour around the time that "Live at Red Rocks" came out, and there were two drummers. Graeme Edge was on one kit, and another nameless fellow was helping him. He still had the beat, but by the 1990's, he was already too old to play a few of the songs he'd played in his youth.
I went to the concert when I was somewhere around age 30 myself, and having been born in 1965, I was just old enough to remember as a kid when their music was all over the airwaves. My date was a few years younger (although still GenX), and that slight difference was enough that when I asked her, she said, "The Moody Who?" By the end of the concert, she had to admit that she'd missed a few things for being born in the early 1970's.
I was also amused when she asked for my binoculars. (We had lawn seats, way back.) Her comment: "That singer looks really cute, and I want a closer look."
Whatever Justin Hayward had in 1968 as a twenty-something, he still had it in about 1992 as a forty-something. Or so thought my date, who could have been his daughter.
@@Focusembedded Very interesting. Thanks for the thoughtful reply. :)
The Moody Blues, pure class!!! I still listen to them after 50 years and never grow tired of their greatness. Truly timeless!!!
'Knights in White Satin ' lives on.
The first seven albums from Days of Future are classics.
I love this song. It will NEVER sound dated. It's so well done!! Their harmony is so perfect!!
Agree!
Word.
Not to mention the dance moves...
@@aceyorbathings were beautiful
Timeless treasure! 1968 nice to see not everyone was tripping on acid...or were they?
Thanks so much for this, fabulous to see these guys after all those years, amazing song and wonderful performance even though not actually singing live.
Great song, Great band ! Great memories !
My boyfriend took me to see them,my first concert,we just celebrated our 50th.Anniversary last month!
How wonderful! Peace.
My wife in June 1984 took me to my first concert. (her fav,,,,John Denver)
36 years ago she became ex wife.
Looking back, I would much rather see the Moody Blues.
Such is life.
Saw them in Tahoe 1992. They were still great.
Awesome comment, thank you!
One of the oddest, yet most beautiful, songs ever recorded....IMHO.
Nice. Real nice.
What a great song... and band!
One of my favorite songs by them! Love them! ❤
" Ride my See Saw" and way so many more of those Moody Blues songs are the absolute greatest and I am glad to be in a part of the time frame that they are in, even though Ray Thomas and Graem Edge are no longer with us. Rest in peace!
Haven't heard this song in years. Glad I ran into this. What a wonderful time in the late 60's. Sad to hear the drummer Graeme Edge passed away in 2021 in Florida of cancer..
Well he was stylin cool here! He looks like a cooler Ringo. ✨😼
An outstanding group 👏
I used to love driving long trips at night on the interstate…and firing up the Moody Blues on my 8 track. Amazing time to be a late teen.
Did you experience what I did, that certain tracks would always cause the 8 track to change channels? On days of future passed it was usually twilight time that never finished.
Piece of trivia, the same guy invented the 8 track and the lear jet.
The Moody Blues used such meaningful metaphors and emotional expressions in their songs. Their music is very spiritual.
Love their music. They were in a league of their own.
No one had a sound like them or wrote songs like them. They were like Cream totally different.
Definitely groovy! Fantastic!
LOVE them, saw them live in 1981 or so, some reunion tour or something. They were still great.
A true gem of a song, the guitar solo is addictive, and that one note just keeps hanging in the air ...
They have some great guitar playing in a lot of songs just brilliant musicians
Moody Blues, one of my favorite bands. Their songs were more cerebral then most other bands.
They were my number one band when I was young in 1970, their music is still pertinent today.
Saw them in concert in Seattle in the 60s and they were fantastic.
Perhaps the most underrated band ever.
No cardi B is more underrated tbh
What makes you believe they're underrated?
@@gogoyubari366 Yeh. I always thought they were way over-rated.
@@gogoyubari366 Radio rarely plays them anymore, and it took them a long time to get in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Def a more sophisticated niche.
Dig the foot shuffle and ties...
Love them! Saw them live eight times.
It would take forever to explain their impact in music history. In my college days we wore out moody blues albums playing day after day. It was a privilege to be listening to them in their time.
We wore out Moody Blues 8-Track tapes even quicker, but cruising through the mountains w/ their music playing was the coolest! IMO, they had no rival; their music was & still is incredible.
Great song! The Moody Blues had this as their encore song at many of the best concerts I've ever seen. Always a crowd pleaser!
Great band. I was born in ‘65 but loved music from my earliest days. I remember my uncle, who was a Vietnam veteran and wounded terribly during Tet, putting in an 8-Track of the Beatles White album and saying, “Tommy, this is the greatest rock and roll band ever” while we were driving down an Ohio interstate. I must have been four or five. My Mom liked the Moody Blues as well as Carrol King and the Turtles. What a great time for music.
Great song, great group.
fantastic, I still have the album I bought in junior high school.
I am so glad I grew up in an era with this wonderful music of the 60s and 70s. The Moody Blues are my favorite band and their music will never go out of style.
I saw them with San Diego symphony. It was awesome. My number one band of a ll time with or without acid
I can remember walking through Piedmont Park on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon hearing The Moody Blues or a San Francisco rock band softly blaring in the background…what a great time!
I'm 70 this is my number 1 band of all time!!!! Had the opportunity to see them on their many tours. Solid music STILL withstands the test of time ageless
I’m 70 also. There is a woman whom this music brings back memories.
You were truly blessed to see them live! 64 years old and remember my older cousin turned me on to the MB! RIParadise my favorite cousin! Aloha
72 here and loved this band. Had all of it on 8 track!!!
Was in high school back then was my favorite band, some of my classmates thought I was strange because I liked them, graduated in 1969.
💀..as in R.Plant..?..(he's KILLIN IT on that Telecaster..Ohh Yah..!!)
Spectacular - thank you for posting!! 🏆🏆
Our pleasure!
What an absolute masterful musical production! I feel so blessed to have witnessed music of this caliber when it was originally released.... and I'm still able to rock to it all these years later. The Moody Blues, one of the greatest bands ever.

Troll.👎
So glad they finally got into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame.
my 1st version was an album, then had the 8trac, the cassette, and now I have the download..I never tire of it.
Upon leaving home after getting married years and years ago I left my collection of Moody Blues 8-track tapes and Motorola player to my younger brother who was 13 at the time. Little did I know at the time how he'd come to embrace the band. My brother remained a Moody's fan up until the moment of his untimely passing at age 47 a little under 13 years ago. He would go to see the Moody Blues anywhere within a 300-mile radius of home. My dear, dear brother.
So sorry for your untimely loss. My youngest brother now in his 50's, became hooked when I recited Lament to him when he was wee.
I am so very sorry for the loss of your brother
Have fun while we can...you just don't know what's round that corner.....or how close that corner is...!!!!
@@relic69 Thank you for your kind and caring thoughts. Best wishes.
@@royrobles7423 I appreciate your kindness and thoughtful comments. Best wishes to you.
I was sweet sixteen when this song came out. My girlfriend and I would listen to this and the Moody Blues other songs and make out in her living room. Flower children we were and will always be. Thank you, Moody Blues, for these great songs that are timeless. They mean so much to me and my teenage memories.
I'm so old I remember that they were my favorite band when this came out.
Superb track . . . . God Bless Mike Pinder, passed away yesterday . . . . the King of the Mellotron.
Yes Pinder, like Brian Jones and a few others could play many instruments and odd ones at that. RIP to one of the Moodies, all true artists. I was lucky to see them in 1980. I think Pinder had left by then.
Was the last surviving original band member as well 😕
Yes, definitely, RIP. Him and John Paul Jones for Mellotron!
@coreyfagan1019
The rest have all passed?
😢😢
@@ianstuart5660 Yes, all the original members, which doesn't include Justin Hayward and John Lodge.
Timeless classic. The beginning is such gold.
Whoever thinks this band was under rated does not know music history. They are one of the most famous of all rock bands
sorry to interrupt, but I would not say they are one of the most famous of all rock bands, they are famous and very well known but that is where it stops, unfortunately. Also, what does knowing music history have to do with the rating of a band? IMHO, the Moody Blues are very underrated simply because they do not get enough mention or airplay. The airplay they get is either the Denny Laine period, generally epitomised by just one song "Go Now", or the post Denny Laine period, generally epitomise by one song "Nights in White Satin" (with now and again, as a token gesture, one of the their other pieces of genius being thrown in). Underrated they definitely are, IMHO!
Simply timeless.
These guys were several cuts above the usual 70's rotgut rock 'n roll. Even in high school I knew quality.
What a band timeless music. Didn't even care none of the instruments were plugged in.
It's good to be able to see what they look like. Lip-Synching isn't always horrible.
Wonderful Indian tinged guitar solo! Go Justin!
Ray Thomas cutting some rug there! RIP🙏
This gets me going like no other, I feel like a little girl again chasing friends around the playground equipment, going up and down on the wooden see saw with metal handles, using feet to propel higher. John Lodge is a monster bassist and carry’s us along until we are ready set go for blastoff 💥🚀!!
Was in High School in San Antonio, Tx,, such good memories with this great band. Such great music, Now I'm 70 and still enjoy the Moodies as much as ever.!!!
Excellent 1968 video The Moody blues and doesn't get any better than that it's priceless it's perfect and every way The moody blues were the best band in the 1960s my opinion❤❤❤❤❤
very cool and original band
Timeless masterpiece. This will ALWAYS sound good
That driving beat! Love this song!!!!
My exact thought too. Driving throughout.
Running In Place; cool rhythm section 😅
Great song....among the best
They say you never forget your first. I never did, it was The Moody Blues album "every good boy deserves favour"..... 1971 so that would have made me 15yo and I bought it with my very own money. What a great album and with headphones I wore that album out!
One of my favorite Moody Blues songs!!!
Look how young these guys are makes me feel old.
The classiest rock band of the 60s and 70s. This is the good stuff.
not good enough for the rock hall of fame though, but the beastie boys are.
The winner of the best dressed band of '68 is the Moody Blues. The Kinks were a distant second.
Ha ! Mod was the look !
Ride the wave Mike. Your brilliant work is complete. Say hello to Ray, Gram, and Denny. You guys leave us a little richer and happier!
@@davetomlin5246 Don't forget Clint Warwick
Such a cool group. To this day they have an army of fans in the millions.
STUNNING!
A total killer song from my favorite albums of theirs. The Moody Blues could rock when they wanted to do so.
It truly does not get any better.
Such a happy song, I first heard it as a 10 year old in the evening on the school playground in southern Californiaholding a cheap am radio while swinging on the swing set radio in hand all by myself 😁
The best band EVER!!!!! They are so phenomenal!!!! I have all their albums, they are so very great..... They are my favorite band.... 💙💙💙💙....
The music was great and the musicians were amazing and awesome the music never gets old
Great tune...Ray's shuffle is everything in this.
I love Ray in this. Makes me smile every time.
Any Hollies fans out there? He’s channeling Allan Clarke
Ray’s got his “swerve” move going on big time here, love it!
@@cd3694I love the Hollies! 😅
Yeah, I was digging that!
*These fellas have always been & will always be groovy* ☮🎸🎶
and far out , man !!!
The Association blew them off stage at the monterey pop festival.
The Association were great musicians and performers who could write songs but not like the Moody’s.
The Blues best of the best.
These guys where huge in my day back in the middle 60s and beyond. Ride my See saw was a favorite of mine. Still is.
I grew up with this, there are no words and In Search Of The Lost Chord is still an utterly amazing album. Thanks dad ❤❤❤
thank you ! I will check it out !
The best.
