    You are not a child of the 60s and 70s if you didn't listen to The Moody Blues. I'm 69 years old and I am so fortunate to grow up with three decades of the greatest music ever 60s,70s&80s. You had to be a musician back then, not like todays garbage

      This album (Days of Future Passed) was one of the first, if not the first, of what is/was called a concept album. I would recommend that you listen to the album with either headphones, or nice speakers, maybe some smoke if you imbibe, but absolutely start to finish, no breaks (except to turn the record over if that's what you have). It is a masterpiece. I also hope you appreciate the engineering behind the sound. It's amazing for that era! I also hope that you take the time to listen to the next 6 albums of theirs, even if your don't react to them. It's like ice cream for the mind!

      this is how we did it in Hawaii in 1975... get up at 530am, make some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches... drive to Mt Olamana... there was a cow pasture at the base of the mountain... find the cow poo.. pick the toadstools growing from it, brown on top, black on the bottom only... open the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, cover with toadstools.. eat... climb olamana, by time you get to the top.. things get colorful, enjoy the scene... its now about 9am.. go back down to the car.. Load the moody blues casette into the Craig 20W/channel under dash player.. crank it up... drive to the north shore, stopping at all the beaches on the way.. play moody blues, and if you get alll the way through both side... restart... enjoy.. smoke a few doobies.. drink a couple beers.. don't hit anything or anybody... play it loud as your speakers can take Jensen 3 ways ... and that was the very best way to enjoy this album ever. TRUE STORY, but there is more... arrived back at Hickam AFB and a blue and silver 707 was parked in front of base operations.. still pretty high, we checked it out... a line had formed, we got in in and out came President Ford... and he shook all us shroomers hands, weird story.. but.. ya.. it is true... we had a sober driver by the way, I'm 70 yrs old now and survived all this... statute of limitations is long expired.. I HOPE.

    It has just been announced that Denny Laine the original Vocalist/Guitarist with the Moody Blues 1964/66 has died aged 79 years. His biggest hit with them in 64 was ‘Go Now’ a great song. He then went to be the front man with Wings backing Paul McCartney. He was with other groups and a great Solo Artist!

    I saw the Moody Blues in concert in Vegas and they sounded as good live as they did in the studio. Back in the drug era I always noticed that the British band were much more professional in concert than a lot of American bands because the American bands didn't a crap how they sounded all doped up whereas the British bands didn't take their audience for granted. They played sober.

    This was their first album after a lineup change that included then 19 year-old Justin Hayward (lead singer, guitarist and writer of their biggest hits, including this song.) They were given free reign to make this album, so long as they made it "symphonic" in order to show off the "new" stereo sound developed by the record company. "Days of Future Past" was the result and it's an amazing album, especially for 1967!
    The Moody's subsequent releases are not as heavily orchestrated, but still complex, very melodic and deeply intellectual. They're in a class by themselves.

    Not to be overlooked that this album was actually commissioned by Decca to showcase their new stereophonic recording system "Deramic Sound" and that the Moody Blues and the Days of Future Passed was almost an afterthought. It was originally to be a rock/orchestral "hybrid" of Dvorak's New World Symphony until it became apparent the Moody Blues had a concept that was worthy of the new recording technique. This is why the album sold for a price closer resembling a "sampler" album and only gained value and notoriety once it gained public exposure and acceptance in subsequent years.

  • @johnyarusso4953
    @johnyarusso4953 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    The orchestra isn't actually playing during the song itself but comes in at the very end. They used a keyboard instrument called the Mellotron which can simulate orchestral sounds. There was no such thing as The London Symphony Orchestra. They used session musicians, some moonlighting from the London philharmonic.

    that subsequent songs start going into the evening and twilight leading into "Nights in White Satin". "Tuesday Afternoon" and "Nights in White Satin" work as stand alone pieces, but as a part of the whole album just dove tails so nicely.
    A little trivia for you - "Nights" was the only song thar both The Moody Blues and the orchestra were together. All the orchestral transitions were arranged by their producer and recorded separately.

    As a 14 year old at the time this song came out, I don't believe I really cared about the meaning of the lyrics. I mean really....at that age and at that time, what would I know about the symphonic and intricate details of the song. Mostly, it was Justin's voice, the musicality, and that at the time, it sounded like it could be a love song. Definitely brings back sweet memories.

    The song is about a man walking away from his troubles and moving toward a new beginning. "I'm beginning to see that I'm on my way, it doesn't matter to me, chasing the clouds away."
    My sister introduced me to the Days Of Future Passed album around 1970. After that, more Moody Blues albums. Mike Pinder playing the Mellotron is what got me hooked on the band. When I heard he left the band in the late 1970's, I was disappointed. Within 5 years after Justin Hayward (Lead writer, singer, and guitar) joined the band in 1966, they recorded 7 albums that established their fan base with their progressive rock sound. All other albums following had commercial success but still, it was those early recordings that defined the band's unique style. My favorite song is Tuesday Afternoon. I've seen The Moody Blues in concert 3 times.

    Days of Future Passed was one of if not the first of stereo rock albums recorded in stereo and the first progressive rock album. The orchestra on this track isn't an orchestra it's an early analog keyboard called a mellotron. The parts linking the rock tracks is the orchestra.

    The Moody Blues are my favorite band of all time. I had tickets to see the Moody Blues in concert at the Forum in Inglewood, California in 1969. But they got hung up in Customs and did not get to the gig. So the other band on the ticket had to do 2 sets, Jefferson Airplane.
    This song and Nights in White Satin are from their second album Days Of Future Passed in 1967. Their label, Decca Records wanted them to make an album with the London Festival Orchestra doing The New World Symphony by Antonin Dvořák to demonstrate their new Deramic Stereo Sound recording process. But when conductor Peter Knight heard what they were working on he thought that would be better and wrote the orchestral transitions between the songs about a day in the life of every man. The band and the orchestra never played together. The whole album was pieced together by record producer Tony Clarke, the sixth Moody. What sounds like the orchestra during the band's songs was actually Mike Pinder on the Mellotron.

    Sam made reference to "Peak Hour". It's my favorite song on "Days of Future Passed" and worth a reaction. My favorite Moody Blues album is "Every Good Boy Deserves Favour" which was released in 1971.
    The singer on "Tuesday Afternoon" and "Nights in White Satin" is Justin Hayward. However, when the Moody Blues were having their visa problems their lead singer was Denny Laine. He would later become a part of Paul McCartney & Wings.
    Sadly, Denny Laine passed away today at the age of 79. It would be worth your while to react to The Moody Blues' first big hit "Go Now" with Laine on lead vocal. It's a very different sound from you've heard today. R.I.P. Denny Laine.

    I'm guessing the Ed Sullivan show since that was about the only one on TV where they had our bands and they also hosted the Beatles for their first trip to America. I finally got to see them in an outdoor concert with my sister in Dallas in the 90s. Was a fun time on the grass with a picnic and wine. Grew up with them and many more that I got to see in college in the early 70s. I have this album still along with some others. This whole album is a one sitter. They always had deep, spiritual lyrics to their music so you have to listen to the words as well as the music. They and ELO did full album stories so suggest treating ELO the same with their albums. The trees reference is easy, trees want to communicate with humanity so if you go and hug or stand next to a tree you can have a conversation and if you know how to channel or communicate with nature then you definitely need to go to a forest and connect with the trees. The trees in forests are connected via all their roots to help each other out energetically and with other needs.

In an interview,Justin Hayward said that the song came to him as he was with his dog walking the country side. He went on to say that smoking A BIG AFRICAN JOINT took him on a ride. Also the were the second,Beatles first of course incorporating the melotron, an keyboard instrument . It was used in Strawberry Fields Forever.

    Got the Ed Sullivan Show. Knew that from the date. I recommend "The Question" from the "A Question of Balance" album. It's literally 2 songs in one. They combined 2 different songs and created a masterpiece. Great job guys!

    I saw the Moody Blues in concert at the Desert Sky Pavillion outside of Phoenix, AZ. in '93. They and "The Phoenix Festival Orchestra" presented us with a fantastic performance of Days Of Future Past ... l just wish l had had a date who was ... worthy of the experience.

    The lyrics here are part of the back to nature movement that was underway. The description of the afternoon is not urban, but pastoral, and making it feel mystical, magical. The wind is whispering a mystery in the trees. At the very end of the song, I imagine the sun is setting. Next up on the album is "Evening," and the sun has gone down, with lingering light on the horizon.
    IIRC, "Peak Hour" is the only upbeat, energetic song on the album. All of the rest is more tranquil and poetic.

    This was made at a time when FM radio was at it peek, with long-running theme music running. A wonderful time.
    And by the way, I guessed beforehand it would be the Ed Sullivan show. Many groups, made a debut on that show, including the Beatles. ;)

    Sad to hear today from Denny's wife that he passed away yesterday she wrote. Great song, great timing, and great reaction guys. Takes me back quite a bit. I was born in 70 so I got into them much later. Our band would sit around with a lot of beer and sometimes rip into a few of these kind of songs for fun. Keep up the awesome videos. Have a great evening. 🍻🤟

    I had forgotten about this one, it's so melodic and it's got that super long breath support drawn-out phrasing that they do every once in awhile.
    If you want to check out a really up-tempo banger, and it was another hit for them, I'm Just a Singer in a Rock and Roll Band. The bass guitar line is so urgent and the singing is just fantastic and it's got great lyrical content and it just feels so good.

    You had some great thoughts on this beautiful song. It's about winding down after a long day, it segues directly into "Evening - Time to Get Away. It's the opening track of Side Two which ends with "Nights in White Satin." Thanks for a great reaction!

    Here's another one of their songs, if interested. "The Moody Blues - The Story In Your Eyes" (channel: The Moody Blues) [This is also a concept album] --This song is from the album "Every Good Boy Deserves Favour" and released in 1971, the album reached #2 on the US Billboard 200 chart and stayed there for three weeks. This song that I suggested was the only song on the album to reach the Top 40 singles chart. As always loved rocking with you both, thanks for sharing.

    "The trees are calling me near/I've got to find out why" is a line that resonates with me. As an avid hiker it puts me in mind of the peace I feel when I have the whole mountain to myself and there's nothing around but birdsong, the breeze, my dogs, the gorgeous views, etc. It replenishes my soul! Better than going to church for me.
    Loved your reactions to some of my all-time favorite music! This is my wife's favorite band.

    This album came out in 1967 when I first entered the U.S. Army. I did not get to hear it until almost a year later. I believe it was dubbed a "concept" album. The songs flow into each other from track to track. This, as I recall, was one of the first "rock" albums to feature a full orchestra. I think "Tommy" by the Who did something similar as well. We considered albums like these as "head" albums as they were not albums or songs o dance to but simply sit back and enjoy. Great reaction. Take care.

      @@floydlawson3765 I was busy. I was in a barracks of double bunks. We had no radio that could pick up any "rock" stations. The E-5's had separate quarters and some of them had complete stereo setups with an amp, a receiver, a phonograph and some even had reel to reel tape units. Once I made Sp5 I moved off base. At that point I was able to enjoy my love of music again. Take care.

    The Moody Blues have been one of my favorite bands since the mid 1960's. I love the stories and messages in their lyrics, and the way they are packaged in the beautiful, melodic, dreamlike vocals and instrumentation. Both of you did a great job with the lyrics, especially considering this was the first time hearing this song. I interpret the lyrics and music of this song as seeing the beauty of an ordinary day. I think the message is that we miss that beauty by getting caught up in a hectic, busy, and stressful lifestyle. As much as I would like a reaction to the whole album, I agree with you that it would be wiser to take a few other songs instead.
