@@MrAuskiwi101 Art this beautiful is proof there is a God. The talent & ability to create such incredible music was one of His greatest gifts to humankind.
I’m 60 yrs old, and I remember when I was in preschool, the teachers played this album to teach us what an orchestra sounded like. My teacher must’ve been so cool.
Pre school? Im here in England.. Im 66 and was huge fan as a teenager. Forget David Cassidy I loved Justin Hayward. Thought he was gorgeous I then got to know Justin years later due to my job..i worked on The War of the Worlds.....and I never told him he was on my wall as a kid 😂😂
One of the greatest groups ever. You mentioned what kind of music. The Moodies are all categories--classic rock, prog, symphonic...And pioneers in each.
In 1970, I was walking around Duke University. In front of the iconic Chapel, four guys were sitting, playing guitars and singing. I thought to myself these guys are good enough to play music for a living. Later that night at the Moody Blues concert, I realized they were the guys from earlier that day. Both performances were excellent.
That's often when they write their best stuff. Just a small sampling... Paul McCartney - When I'm 64 (16 Years old) Kate Bush - "The Man With the Child in His Eyes," (13 years old) Debbie Gibson - "Only in My Dreams" (14 Years old) Steven Tyler - Dream On (16 Years old) Booker T. Jones - "Green Onions" (17 years old) and many, many more. Cheers
@@rmacdougallaliasdogviticus , Lynyrd Skynyrd-FREEBIRD. Vocalist Ronnie Van Zant wrote the lyrics to Freebird when he was 19 and guitarist Allen Collins the music when he was 16, and to this day it remains one of rock's most iconic songs ever written. They had the song already written for 5 years before it finally got recorded on their 1973 debut album Pronounced. Even then it didn't get immediately introduced to the world because Pronounced also had several other legendary songs on the album that became hits and remained set list staples for the band for their entire careers. Before the 1977 plane crash and beyond when the survivors reformed 10 years after the plane crash. Those songs initially got more airplay than Freebird because they were shorter, and deemed to be quote-unquote "more radio friendly" for the time. Among the songs on that debut album with Freebird were Simple Man, Tuesday's Gone, Gimme Three Steps, I Ain't The One, & Things Goin' On.
Breathe deep the gathering gloom Watch lights fade from every room Bed sitter people look back and lament Another days useless energy spent Impassioned lovers wrestle as one Lonely man cries for love and has none New mother picks up and suckles her son Senior citizens wish they were young Cold hearted orb that rules the night Removes the colors from our sight Red is gray and yellow white But we decide which is right And which is an illusion
This rendition of Nights in White Satin never fails to move me with its beauty and fullness. Such a great band! I am so sad to see them one by one leave this realm. They have other gigs to play in other dimensions, perhaps.
When I was 16 years old I worked in a large department store in Fulham, London. Justin used to come in the store, and always came to me to be served. I was always so bowled over by his absolute gorgeousness I could barely speak 😂 He was so sweet though, and always gave me a wink and a beautiful smile.
When my older brother came back from Vietnam, he brought back a Teac reel to reel, a set of quality headphones, and the best music of the late 60s/early 70s. He also took me and my brother to a Moody Blues concert, his favorite group. Back when the cops and security stepped back and left the crowd to do what they wished, including pass joints up snd down the aisle. God, was I lucky to grow up in the golden age.
Saw them three times, once with an orchestra, every time it was not just a concert but an experience. Way underrated still when talking greatest bands of all time.
No No No. You are absolutely wrong. I´m 72 and I remember perfectly that my parents, professors, priests, bishops, etc etc, told us NOT to ear this "new" music, made by younger persons, with electric guitars, long hairs.... mini skirts, etc etc... for them this music was from evil... I always remember this. That's that now, being myself an old person, never, I never say bad words or bad opinions about new generations, their art, music etc.
MB helped this young man navigate smoothly from Rock exclusivity into Classical Music appreciation. Most of their music lent itself to orchestration…the leap to traditional Classic music easy.
I was lucky enough to see the Moody Blues live in concert years ago, it was SO BEAUTIFUL, one of my favorite concerts ever. Still remember hearing the entire album for the first time when it came out, with a bunch of my university friends, sitting on the floor, with candles lit......it was an unbelievable listening experience that night on the first listen. NONE of us said a word until the entire album was played. We were all so blown away, that we were speechless for a few minutes, after it finished.
This is one of those songs that transcends everything, it's so good and so emotional. It is absolutely iconic and the orchestra makes it so much more of an experience.
This song is from the album "Days of Future Passed". On the Original recorded version of "Nights in White Satin" there's a Spoken Word Poem ,at the end of the song that's called " Late Lament" The poem was written by drummer Graeme Edge and are recited by keyboardist Mike Pinder. To me the song isn't complete without the Spoken Word Poem at the End...
The way I rate any performer or performance is how they can make me FEEL the emotion. Even though I have listened to this many times over my life, I still feel the emotion. Wonderful!
I saw that video once and could never find it again! They were absolutely young babies at the very beginning of their musical journey and even then their talent was beyond obvious!
A Moody's fan here from yesteryear, who was fortunate enough to see them three times during their prime with their "classic" lineup. I've heard this song countless times and it's still as riveting and impactful as ever! Great to see you checking out this live version!
This song (including the ending poem, not done here) is one of the most beautiful works of art ever created. I cannot experience it in full without shedding tears.
Everytime I hear this I get goose bumps and a few tears. I'm not sure why the tears, I guess its just so powerful and the "love" feels real? Simply EPIC and TIMELESS ! I have subscribed now!
This is my nominee for the most hauntingly beautiful, moodiest (no pun intended) song from the 70s. We listened to this song in dark rooms and let the music and spirituality take us on an extended journey. Again, the Moodies prove, as does Procol Harum's Whiter Shade of Pale, that rock, symphony, and choir go together, as Sinatra intoned, like love and marriage. Simply otherwordly.
Finally!! This is the quintessential version of this song that makes them really good live!! I saw them live years ago in 1980!!! They put on just a wonderful show with such beautiful music!!!
I'm 67. The number one album for me is Days of future pass. They took a chance with this album and the rest is history. One of the greatest bands ever!
The amazing thing to me is these older bands and singers can actually sound exactly as they did in their songs from the first time they performed or recorded them. I have listened to this song my hole life and it never changes and that’s what I absolutely love. We were blessed with such great artist and music back then. I loved your reactions.
This has been one of my favorite songs since it was released when I was 7. I was so lucky to be introduced to music very early by my mom and my sister (8 years older).
I saw them in a small venue of about 600 and what a great show with an intimate setting. I have been a fan since the mid-sixties and they did not disappoint.
Seen them a bunch live, hard to tell live apart from the albums they are so good. 'Departure' / 'Ride My See-Saw' (1968) from the 'In Search of The Lost Cord' album next please. Must be played together, 'Departure' is only 45 seconds long btw. Cheers.
Saw them in Toronto in the 80’s. I don’t think they knew how big this song was in Canada. When they finished it, they got a standing ovation that went on and on. They didn’t know what to do when the cheering just kept going. Eventually the crowd settled and the concert went on. That moment will live prominently in my memory forever. Enjoyed your reaction to this epic performance.
Bands like The MB's, and Procul Harum, from the UK, brought the orchestral element to Rock, which made you look at Rock in a whole other light, back then. The Beatles, and the Who, as well, went way beyond the typical 2 guitars, Bass, and drums thing, very often..Ironically, The MB's have a song, "I'm just a singer in a Rock 'n Roll band," which they were, but came to be so much more...I saw them twice, and they didn't disappoint, either time.
It's never complete without the poetry at the end, as on the album! "Cold-hearted orb that rules the night, Removes the colours from our sight, Red is grey and yellow white But we decide which is right And which is an illusion."
This is a great live performance. "Nights In White Satin" is their most famous song. Moody Blues are one of my favorite groups from the 60's-80's. Love their mix of rock with classical music. Lots of great songs such as "Go Now", "Tuesday Afternoon", "The Story In Your Eyes", "Question", "Ride My See-Saw", "I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band)", "Gemini Dream", "The Voice" etc. All of their music is great! Many of their records are concept albums & meant to be listened to all at once. Sadly Ray Thomas their flute player & singer passed away in 2018 & their drummer Graeme Edge passed away in 2021.
I listen to the Moody Blues when I was very very young and listening to this live concert figuring it would sound different but it did not it sounds exactly the same as the original and to me that is just amazing. I enjoyed your reactions to this beautiful song.
Saw them in the late 90s in Tampa at an auditorium very similar to this. It was like this, a performance/listening experience live rather than a wild rock concert.
- - - - always refreshing to hear incorporating CLASSICAL MUSIC into songs. Classical is the oldest & the most timeless of any genre. This was done very well while still being a popular song.
Question and Go Now both special remind me of just starting my first job

Along the lines of the Moody Blues is a classical rock group called Renaissance. The group is lead by opera-like vocalist Annie Haslam. They were most popular is the 1970's with their "Live at Carnegie Hall" double live album being their most popular. Their more popular songs are "Can You Understand", "Mother Russia", "Ashes Are Burning" and "Carpet of the Sun". They are best appreciated live. There are great live performances from 1974 on youtube.
Can you imagine what Justin must have been thinking and feeling? He wrote this majestic song when he was only 19 and here he has a full orchestra behind him! Amazing! If you ever want to hear the perfect combination between a drummer and a bass player this is it. Graeme and John are simply perfect in this version just so together. Alwasy loved this song but this setting is quite stunning!
An era when people sang and musicians played, no theatricals , just pure music 🎵
Seen em twice, with orchestra and let me tell you, it was as close to spiritual that you will get this side of heaven
Being that heaven is fictional you'll have to put up with this great band
@@MrAuskiwi101 prove it doesn't, you can't

I’m 60 yrs old, and I remember when I was in preschool, the teachers played this album to teach us what an orchestra sounded like.
My teacher must’ve been so cool.
Although the orchestra on the album was actually a "Melotron". Of course the instruments were originally recordings of real instruments.
I'm almost 64, for a field trip my 5th grade teacher took us to our local uni to watch a live rock band. It was a different time!
Pre school? Im here in England.. Im 66 and was huge fan as a teenager. Forget David Cassidy I loved Justin Hayward. Thought he was gorgeous
I then got to know Justin years later due to my job..i worked on The War of the Worlds.....and I never told him he was on my wall as a kid 😂😂
I'm 62 and I have the exact same story , but I was in the 3rd grade ! Apparently Miss Ward was super cool as well !
64 years and a cool 5th grade teacher played American Pie on his guitar in class. Some teachers "got it" back then too.

Justin Hayward wrote this song when he was 19 years old. It is kind of unbelievable that someone reached that level of talent by that age.
And he is still killing at age 77.
That's often when they write their best stuff. Just a small sampling...
Paul McCartney - When I'm 64 (16 Years old)
Kate Bush - "The Man With the Child in His Eyes," (13 years old)

Am 68 and this song still gives me chills!
Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bed sitter people look back and lament
Another days useless energy spent
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one
Lonely man cries for love and has none
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young
Cold hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colors from our sight
Red is gray and yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion
Thank you i liked that.
That added at the end is so good. Rarely was it played as well on the radio.
Was going to do the exact same thing. lol
The song is never complete without this poem.
@@firedoc5Exactly! And it’s so disappointing when you get to the end and it’s not there!
Makes me feel old 😂❤60-70’s BEST MUSIC🎉🎉
Agree 💯
Feel TIMELESS...like thisbeautiful piece of music!! ❤❤❤ ...and, yes: 60s and 70s were THE BEST!!
When you hear "our" music from the 60's and 70's, yiu understand why we say "what happened to music".
My oldest brother has 3 favorite bands-Beatles, Pink Floyd and Moody Blues. I thank him for making sure I had a great music education like this.
I too was exposed to music at an earlier age than most from hearing what others such as babysitters and older kids of family friends.
The same bro. Same bands and more.
And it doesn't get much better than that!
A music masterpiece,,,,,, I'm 56, and it still sends chills threw me when I hear,, very loud,,,,,,,, the old music is Soo great,,,,,,
Anytime the old music is Soo great,,,,,

67 here. The Moody Blues were one of my favorite bands.
Love this song. It was the "Theme" of my senior prom in 1976. And this is an amazing performance!
I have seen them 5 times from 1972 to the middles 2000s and they never disappoint.
What surprises me is people never seem to comment on the background vocals. Especially at their age, it's very impressive.
Saw them three times, once with an orchestra, every time it was not just a concert but an experience. Way underrated still when talking greatest bands of all time.
This was back when music WAS music. Back in my youth. 😊

IMO one of the top 10 pieces of music ever written.
This made me cry,just unbelievable how this is part of my musical past😊😊😊
A favorite song from the early 70s. Glad you like it too. They have no bad offerings.
I’ve had the pleasure of seeing The Moodies in concert many times. Love, love, love them!

Justin wrote this when he was 19 years old 19 ,.... where has all that talent gone ....
Into alot of being
Buetiful songs that probably art hip for radio
Beautiful real music with real talent and real instruments... Can't beat it.
I saw Justin Hayward last year in a performance of War of the Worlds. He has a great voice that doesn't seem to have aged!
The way I rate any performer or performance is how they can make me FEEL the emotion. Even though I have listened to this many times over my life, I still feel the emotion. Wonderful!
There’s a video of this song when it first came out. They looked very young and appear to be playing in a school auditorium. Just as inspiring!
I saw that video once and could never find it again! They were absolutely young babies at the very beginning of their musical journey and even then their talent was beyond obvious!
But is the song complete w/o the poem at the end?
A: No
If the band plays it live without the poem then I guess it is complete. I do love the studio version with the poem though.
A Moody's fan here from yesteryear, who was fortunate enough to see them three times during their prime with their "classic" lineup. I've heard this song countless times and it's still as riveting and impactful as ever!
Great to see you checking out this live version!
Every live video, from the facial expression to the effects are the best.
You back an iconic group , with an iconic tune , backed by the London Philharmonic ......in Prince Albert Hall ......and you get pure magic .
I got to see their performances two times. Once in Philadelphia and then again at Red Rocks.😊
As I’ve said 100’s of times before an orchestra compliments modern music so magically, I love it. ❤️🤘🎸🎻🦘
Greatest unrequited love song in rock history from one of the Top 5 Greatest Bands of ALL TIME.
The Moody Blues sound is like no other. My favorite band. They are more other worldly than progressive and more Rock than they get credit for.
This song (including the ending poem, not done here) is one of the most beautiful works of art ever created. I cannot experience it in full without shedding tears.

This is so very awesome! Moody Blues are icons! They still sound as good now as they did then! Love your reactions!
The Moody Blues has such a cool, mellow sound. 😎
Really great song by them, love it!!❤❤
Yes, seeing The Moddy Blues live is an experience. I've seen them 3 times, and they don't diisappoint!
Live you guys. Thanks. Keep going. Until next time stay well and poppin for fresh
Seen them a bunch live, hard to tell live apart from the albums they are so good.
'Departure' / 'Ride My See-Saw' (1968) from the 'In Search of The Lost Cord' album next please. Must be played together, 'Departure' is only 45 seconds long btw. Cheers.

NO POEM AT THE END?
The first time I saw The Moody Blues was the first time I wept at a concert.
Such a beautiful and haunting song. It's perfection in all ways.
I bought this single in 1967 and I still have it brand new condition. One the best songs ever from a time when music was music!
best live version
been a hardcore moodies fan since i was 10 back in 1968
The Moody Blues was a must see live and I did .......Iconic band
Pure Talent
I got to see a lot of bands, but I wish I had seen them back in the day. Thanks B&B :)

The Moody Blues were the first poets of the Rock and Roll Era, combine that with a philharmonic orchestra and you are in musical orbit!
The only thing is the Breathe Deep soliloquey at the end of the album version. It was a perfect ending to this perfect song.
