Don’t forget Mike Pinder and his magical Mellotron…
Made it all come together ..
Passed away April 24. RIP dear brother.
One of the original pioneers that put the mellotron "on the map"!
I really missed Mike leaving the band.
Robert Fripp once said: "Tuning a Mellotron doesn't."
Incredible the luck they had with Laine's replacement. Justin Hayward had(s) it all ..the looks , talent ....
Yes, and John was hired at the same time that Justin was. John and Justin are both great.
Probably the most unique and recognized band during the late sixties for their ability to reach out and have influence over the their vast audiences, that is the ability to touch the listeners very soul. Their writings, arrangements are an amalgamation of so many different styles of music, yet seem so right when the final product is introduced to the human ear. Their music over the decades still haunts many of us and for some, it's a spiritual experience. Love you Guys.
Wow! That's so sweet of you to say David🤠, I actually didn't expect to get such a beautiful comment from you. Thanks so much for being such a huge fan of my music🎵. Well I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music. Could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan of my music???
Omgosh!!! I've always enjoyed the Moody Blues, grew up in the 60's. But I didn't know much about music due to my incredible horrible life.....then a few years ago, I found Denny Laine! ❤ He Is AWESOME! I have a 'thing ' for gingers (redheads). Denny Laine is one of the BEST ever. Thankful for the music 🎶 🙌 ❤❤❤
Hey dude, you nailed it! 👌
Canada loves the Moody Blues.
The Beatles.
Justin never gets credit for being one of the best rock guitarists.
Where would my life be without the magical Moody Blues and Justin Hayward. Thanks for sharing the joy for 50 years!
Seen them live in Ipswich last time they toured..bloody brilliant night and have since seen Justin Hayward 4 times..he's still handsome as ever and a musical genius.
Rest In Peace Ray Thomas. We were hoping to see you at the Rock Hall Induction April 14. Damn you Jann Wenner. Damn You ALL for not letting the MB in b4 now.
Jann Wenner has turned into a asshole. You only get in with his approval & it's turned into a money generating racket. Who is watching the
books?
The moodies should have been in the hall on their first qualification. Many who are in don't even play rock. I don't get it.
This wonderful footage shows the group in their prime. Priceless. All looking great.
@@randyacuna3248 Screw the Hall of Fame. The Moodies didn't need to prove anything ever.
@@sialatorah very correct!
Don't know how those women could sit so still during Ride my Seesaw, that song almost demands you get up and dance.
They had their job to just be scenery and not draw attention to themselves. Just pretty 'art pieces".
They are french...
RIP Denny,Ray and Graeme !! Truly Missed !!!! LR
And Mike Pinder RIP
And it's live singing, not lip syncing! Great stuff, thanks for posting!
At least this is live!
I couldn't help but crack up at the interview on the precious video,
They must have lip synced on purpose because he went back and started spoke French after Mike politely asked him to speak English!
On another interview, Graeme spoke in German. He was one happy rascal!
@@designerlarry I'm not about 1st tune Dr Livingstone, however Ride My SeeSaw ( btw: my all time fave Moody's tune) This is 100% live including all instruments, listen to the Melotron 🎹🥁🎸👍
@@jamesmcintyre2008 well I can see them, look harder.
Justin was only 21 in this video, he looks scared to death!!! Such a great band!! ❤❤❤
I would be scared too!
I almost did not recognize Mr. Hayward with that dark hair color he had back then in 1968.
50 years ago. Man they were a great band. Not nearly enough live performances of the Moodies available.
Oh! Thank you so much for being such an amazing fan of my music my Dear🙏🤠. I hope you never stop being a fan and also stop listening to my songs🎶. Well could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan my music???
@@dennylaine8735 I enjoyed the earlier incarnation of the Moodies (all the early British bands - must have been something in the UK water that produced so many fine artists) as well as the later lineup that was so productive and unusual. In your time, I especially enjoy the filmed version of Pinder's Haven't Really Got the Time. So much energy with Rod Clarke bouncing around. Energy that the later lineup didn't have on the same tune. They were built for other things. Glad that you have so much of your work from then on records. I've listened to them for many decades, as I backtracked when the first albums of the later progressive band were released.
@@ktpinnacle Wow! Thanks once again for your love and affection which you’ve shown towards my music over the years. I’ve always been a passionate, affectionate and a loyal singer🤠🎶. Well do you mind if we text somewhere more private? Do let me know if you're interested
Proof, as if any was needed, that the Moody Blues was not just a studio band.
this is a studio recording, until mid 1980's televised shows almost always required bands to lip-sync or ad-lib. so I agree that they were more than just a studio band... but this is not an example of that.
One of the few times that you saw Justin Hayward not out front, instead playing in the background. Ray Thomas the vocal point on that night.
from a fellow Brummie,sad day another genius gone to that "gig in the sky" rip MP still listening to the albums after 50years thank you xx
I was a little kid and was so lucky to see Graeme and Justin. I saw the continuing band for the next 30 years. One of the best bands of all time.
I like how television was then...everyone dressed well and had manners and women were beautiful.
Great performance even if it looks like the French audience was waiting for the next act, a French ventriloquist and his dog, Bark! The Moody Blues have been awesome since their beginnings! Young, handsome dudes from England!
John O'Connell The girls weren't the audience. They were staged performers that were supposed to be non-reactive. It was considered to be arty, as it was contrary to the norm. A recurring theme during the sixties.
@@heli-crewhgs5285
What's French for Arty-Farty?
I love John occasionally mouthing along to Ray's lines in "Dr. Livingstone, I Presume" xD Ray and John were always the most charismatic and lively performers of the Moodies imo
Rare to ever see live footage of The Moody Blues performing Dr. Livingstone, especially back in '68! Thanks for sharing.
Daniel Lars What a journey! Thanks for this treasure!
Ah, Ray Thomas. I love him. R.I.P.
The look Ray gave to bass player John Lodge his loud high voice. Awesome band in its time then and now before the passing of Ray Thomas RIP.
They all sang!! Those harmonies are really great. Very English!! Love this band!
"Very English"?????
@@manchestertart5614 yes, very British
Next to The Dave Clark Five they're about as English as you can get. Hell, the freakin Beatles ain't as English as they are.
Birmingham actually!
@@carolsaxton839 Except for Justin who's from Swindon :D
RIP Ray Thomas
Ray Thomas, digging it the most as usual. Love it!
Love Ray Thomas... what a great performance
Oh! Thank you so much for being such an amazing fan of music my Dear🙏🤠. I hope you never stop being a fan and also stop listening to my songs🎶. Well could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan my music???
@@dennylaine8735hello Denny, I've been a moodie fan ever since 1968 when I first heard "Nights in White Satin" on Dave Symonds BBC Session on my transistor radio in India and I can proudly say that the Moody Blues is my all time favourite band.... peace and love from India ☮️✌️☮️🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
@@dennylaine8735I've just subscribed to your channel #64 😉😎
Justin Hayward the most underrated guitarist ever.
I think his looks cost him respect from snobs
Him and Steve Winwood.
@@jamesh1369 ...Yeah Steve Winwood is a brilliant guitarist.
Yrs, that upset him. He said he wanted to be thought of for his music, not his looks.
@@krisschedler LOL
Great song!!! Such a good group, ever!!!💙💙💙💙.... They are the best!!!!! No band COME'S close to these talented men!!!!! 🥀🥀🥀🥀.. 2022...
The greatest prog rock band ever- Hail the great Moody Blues!
Besides yes and king crimson and Emerson lake and palmer rush
Love The Moody Blues so much. And I've been wanting to ride on John Lodge's see-saw since I could remember. He was one sexy beast back in the day!
That is funny-never heard of such 'intimate activity' refered as "see-saw .' Such 'fun', does have its 'up & downs' and somehow sounds more reasuring than 'teeter-totter!' (lol)
😂😂😂
I second that idea‼️
This was a great performance, the Moody Blues were a touch of class. Just a pity so few turned up to watch them!
RIP Ray Thomas.
The Moodys lyrics & musical sounds always fascinated me.. NO syrupy la la la here.. Just substance & imagery galore who ALWAYS took the Listener on a British Journey..
They were legends in the making. Greatest rock band in history but I’ve never seen a band playing to an audience of shop window dummies before!! Guess it was considered cool in 1968.
A lot of strange things were considered cool in 1968. Maybe that's why I was never cool.
...before social distancing was cool....
What I find interesting is the camera focuses on Ray Thomas a lot more in the early video clips.. As I did when I saw him live here in Vancouver, so many times.. R.I.P on Your Astral Plain, Our Cosmic Rocker
It may be a Lodge song, but Ray sings lead vocal, so of course the camera focuses on him. Too bad he didn't also play rhythm guitar to free up Hayward. This song needs the lead guitar to stand out more.
...Legends From The Beginning...
Wow!!! That's so sweet of you to say my Dear🤠, I actually didn't expect to get such a beautiful comment from you. Thanks so much for being such a huge fan of my music🎵. Well I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music. Could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan of my music???
a time travel video! Jus looks so cute and you can hear his guitar...so cool!
True talent, genuine playing, love it!
this was fantastic. Live, real, human. Very cool
Agreed!
maybe
they sounded great live.
Oh! Thank you so much for being such an amazing fan of my music Stephen🙏🤠. I hope you never stop being a fan and also stop listening to my songs🎶. Well could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan my music???
excellent post. This is the first time I have seen them doing this stuff live and pure
PBS had a special about 25 years ago that had a lot of live performances. It was out when "Your Wildest Dream" was a hit. One of the best documentary's of theirs.
Not enough live video of the Moodies from this era.
There is 1 hour vidéo from july 68 within thé students dancing around.this is called "this evening we ll dance with thé MB" wonderful show with rare stuffs..théy all had gréât time check on thé net...
This is just fabulous! So great to see such vintage performances. Thank you!
Lodge is so great!! Gorgeous and what a bass player. All of them are perfection!
Ditto! I adore John!
Bonjour, peeps
Pia Struck John was very good looking!!!
Love John Lodge❣️Who wrote this great song, too! What a handsome and fun-loving guy‼️
You can really hear the Beatles influence in Dr Livingston. My dad played their albums every Sunday when I was growing up. It was a long time coming but they made it to the HOF.
Bass reminds me a lot of Yellow Submarine
They did play Ray and Mike on 2 of their songs "walrus" + 1 playing harp or doing thé "dogs" noises.Ain t à joke...
God I love Ray
Pandemic 'social distance' seating decades before covid!
Thanks for posting this great early Moody Blues performance.
What a fantastic historical document! I am dismayed that the studio audience is sitting there like mannequins, I’d want to jump up and dance!
The French are too conceited to show
any emotion.
They were all runway models.
Amazing!!! WOW! love it... All so cute and clean cut. Good times
All cute and clean cut and tripping on
some killer windowpane....
Wow!!! That's so sweet of you to say John🤠, I actually didn't expect to get such a beautiful comment from you. Thanks so much for being such a huge fan of my music🎵. Well I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music. Could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan of my music???
The Moodies. Greatest group ever!
Another great video and the Moodies doing their best! Worst audience I've seen in years.
The German audiences were by far and above the worst of the lot!
Whattaya mean? They gave the Moodies their undivided attention. Not a single one of them was checking her instagram page.
@@Qrayon Exactly. I love that quietness and focus in them ladies.
Thank you ! ( it's an elixir of eternal youth ❤️ )
What a great band from 1965 - 1972 my favorite moody blue's
Very impressive live performance!
Justin looks so miserable.....but John looks like he’s having a hell of a good time...
I think that was Justin's job back then, to look woebegone.
John is getting the royalty check
John always looks happy. 💗💕
Lovely song, and some fabulous mellotron, damn well love the sound. A great old band.
Wow!!! That's so sweet of you to say Dale🤠, I actually didn't expect to get such a beautiful comment from you. Thanks so much for being such a huge fan of my music🎵. Well I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music. Could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan of my music???
How they went from Go Now to this wonderful band is amazing. Such talent. I love their harmonies together. No one else could ever sound like them.
Aaahh-the French like to sit around and look cool. I don't think they understood the awesomeness in front of them.
They didn't know English as well as today in 2018.
Bonjour
Looks like Clock Work Orange decor.
So cool to see this. Had all of the albums of this incarnation. So shaped my life.
Oh! Thank you so much for being such an amazing fan of my music Richard🙏🤠. I hope you never stop being a fan and also stop listening to my songs🎶. Well could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan my music???

The look he gives John Lodge at 6:21 cracked me up so hard.
R.I.P. Ray Thomas
R.I.P. Ray, and thanks for the music.
My goodness 😍, thought they were my AGE!!!

Great memories. Thanks for posting it. RIP Ray, we will miss you.
excellent! I love this live version of Ride my see-saw
thank you for posting this video of the band playing live in the sixties!
Brilliant live music.
Anyone see the likeness between the young Ray Thomas and Michael Palin. Ray would have been great in the dead parrot sketch.
great live performance !!! however, those girls must have been sedated to be that stoic, not even tapping their feet !!! ... the French , LOL !!!
They make me uncomfortable.. French audience suck!
From the look of them, they had earplugs inserted.
Most like they were told to sit still.
A great piece of film. But yes, Mr. Walters, the girls sitting motionlessly in the chairs arrayed before them is just bizarre.
There was a gigantic crest in the wave of Rock/music in that yr 1968 and obviously many had not yet crossed the threshold, so performances like this one seemed quite bizzare and as much interesting.
Ray Thomas reminds me of the Sheriff of Nottingham from the Bugs Bunny cartoon.
COOL THAKS FOR PRESERVING ...
great stuff vintage classics thank you
Oh! Thank you so much for being such an amazing fan of my music my Dear🙏🤠. I hope you never stop being a fan and also stop listening to my songs🎶. Well could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan my music???
Vuestra música ha sido cautivadora, muy profesional, y especialmente para todos los públicos y edades. Como dicen "atemporal". Yo soy un poquito mas joven, no mucho. Cuando descubrí que existiais, sencillamente quedé atrapada.
Y hoy sigo escuchando y disfrutando
Muchisímas gracias!!😊🙋🏼♀️
Love the homemade MB logo on the kick drum.

@@dennylaine8735
It's not actually 'your' music, is it 'Denny'?
Those French gals obviously were deaf and blind!! They sat there still as stones! The Moodies were in their prime musically as well as physically. I'd have been having fits if I had been there. :) And my Lovely Lodgey was sooo darned cute!
They're lovely watching so carfully.
I like the chill-out, modern approach of the audience. It looks arty even now in 2021.
The version of Ride My See-Saw was earlier than the album one. No lead guitar in the beginning and the vocal arrangements are rougher. The studio made them the best symphonic rock band of all time.
Go RayRay, go!Loving it!!!
Oh! Thank you so much for being such an amazing fan of my music William🙏🤠. I hope you never stop being a fan and also stop listening to my songs🎶. Well could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan my music???

I saw them in concert four times at the Providence Civic Center. In the late 70’s through mid 80’s
Absolutely timeless.

That brought back memories! Riding on the back roads, smoking weed and listening to Moody Blues 8-track tapes!
What a classy video !! With the ladies watching .. Such Charisma
The music of my teenage years... thankfully!
Oh! Thank you so much for being such an amazing fan of my music Carrie🙏🤠. I hope you never stop being a fan and also stop listening to my songs🎶. Well could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan my music???
The music of the Moody Blues is like a mystery. I’ve been a fan of this band since I was 20 years old. I can honestly tell you that I believe the music of the moody blues saved my life! Because when I was a young, I discovered that I preferred to listen to their music with clear mind than to sit around and smoke dope.
How can the past appear as future fiction? We have lost our present, there may be no future. People had wonderful dreams in the 60s.
We did! We had hope for a better future.
Different Moody set up. effective bare bones musical sound. Seated women observing and moodies faces reacting to their and each other vocals is Memorable as they hang on for the musical ride. Thank you for posting peace too all
John always looks like he's having fun! What a cutie pie.
I loved Ray's and Mike's singing. Would of liked more. Love Justin too.
The put the magical bang into music and lyrics.
Ray .....have you found polar bear.......l know you have........you now have the freedom to cuddle them...........fly high......watch me feed the birds in my garden...........much love..........
RIP Ray you will be missed xxx
I love how Ray is fronting the band 👨🏻
Love those guys!

epic clip, thanks
R I P Ray ...
weird staging with chicks just sitting there instead off dancing their ass off.....very excellent performance by the MBs....I saw them in late '60's live and was amazed at their skill....don't think they get the acclaim they deserve.
That's what everyone's screaming.
Ahh, found an actual live version from back in the day of See Saw. Most seem to have at least the music canned (no wire coming out of the guitar). Voices could have been live, however.
Wow!!! That's so sweet of you to say Lynn🤠, I actually didn't expect to get such a beautiful comment from you. Thanks so much for being such a huge fan of my music🎵. Well I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music. Could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan of my music???
I think Ray was an amazing vocalist, a d their best.
Presume nothing!!love and miss you Ray😅😅😅😅😅
My god . How cool is Lodge . His body is his bass .
Agreed. Beautiful man that wrote this song too.
Love Lodgy😄❣️
This video is amazing back in time. priceless
