His name is Justin Hayward and he is closing in on 80 years old. He wrote this song when he was 19 years old. Continue to explore and experience the moody blues. They are one of the most significant groups of recent history.
Saw these guys in Germany in '72. This was taped in the Royal Albert Hall. Sold out at over 5400 seats. Sadly, this was one of the last few live performances for Ray Thomas (flute). He died a year or so after this performance. The drummer, Graeme Edge, has sadly passed as well, leaving only two of the original members still in the group. Justin Hayward (vocals) and John Lodge (bass). 50+ years together...remarkable.
When a singer professes his love for his woman, he generally does it quietly, even a whisper. What makes this so powerful is he shouts it out at the top of his lungs.l....She's gonna get it.
I'm 31 years old, I was raised on this music. My dad and I have seen the Moody Blues live at least 5 or 6 times. They are the most underrated classic rock band of all time.
Justin was around 60 for this performance. The music was around 40 years old. This version is missing a spoken part at the very end. Breathe deep the gathering gloom, Watch lights fade from every room. Bedsitter people look back and lament, Another day's 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 colours from our sight. Red is grey and yellow white. But we decide which is right. And which is an illusion? Morning Glory: Cold hearted orb that rules the night, Removes the colours from our sight, Red is gray and yellow white, But we decide which is right. And which is an illusion? Pinprick holes in a colourless sky, Let insipid figures of light pass by, The mighty light of ten thousand suns, Challenges infinity and is soon gone. Night time, to some a brief interlude, To others the fear of solitude. Brave Helios wake up your steads, Bring the warmth the countryside needs.
The voice, the melody, the lyrics. What a masterpiece. This is a prime example of the power of great music. Justin Hayward, who wrote this and is singing, really hit it out of the park with this song.
There is a lot of enjoyment in learning about great musical groups from day's gone by. That's the fun for myself, but people my age lived through it all personally. It never gets old for me even listening to music for over 63 years old. It keeps me young in my heart and mind, even when my body argues with me now. Hahaha
He still sounds great but Justin Hayward this is quite possibly the weakest I've heard him sing. His voice isn't nearly as powerful as normal. I cannot say I "saw" them, but Moody Blues played with the Vancouver Symphony outdoors at Nat Bailey baseball stadium in Vancouver BC. We sat on the side of little mountain across the street. The stage was in centre field facing the seats behind home plate facing away from us so you couldn't see the stage at all. We heard it perfectly fine and it was a great show. They were then banned from playing at Bailey again because Moody Blues and the Vancouver Symphony... were too loud.
Always feel that no woman no person, can live up to that passion, for me it belongs to human's Creator and the Creator of music itself! It's beauty and its love, love itself. That feeling put into music like no one's done before or since!
Master musicians playing a masterpiece of a song. I've seen the Moody Blues in concert several times-sadly, I never will again, so I'm thankful for these videos.
Justin wrote this song when he was 19 to a girl he adored from afar. Someone told her a few years later it was about her. She asked him if it was true. They got married. They're still married.
The singers name is Justin Hayward, and he wrote the song when he was 17 years old and recorded it with the Moody Blues when he was 19, you should check out Forever Autumn a song by Justin Hayward from the musical version of War of The Worlds by Jeff Wayne it's beautiful
The song Forever Autumn is special to me. My wife and I (both big Moody Blues fans) would often go for really long walks in the woods here in the central California Coast . We were married for 25 years but together for 30. The only girl I ever Kissed. She passed away from Pancreatic Cancer back in 2009. Those leaves lay undisturbed now, because she's not here.
@@MatthewPettyST1300 sorry for your loss, she sounds like a very special person. The power and beauty of music is it can evoke memories that keep our loved ones alive in our hearts forever.
This is Justin Haywood vocals, John Lodge on bass, the late Ray Thomas on flute and Graham Edge on drums, this is the Moody Blues with the World Festival Orchestra at Royal Albert Hall 2000
Who could not love such a song, such a voice, such a group, such a performance? Keep in mind, that this amazing classic is just the ending to their amazing concept album, "Days of Future Passed". The whole album is backed up by the London Symphony Orchestra, and to miss the rest of the album is like watching only the last few minutes of a great movie.
The power of music, all of a sudden these aren't just old men, they're god's, angels of sound on stage sharing their beauty with the world. No matter what age or Creed, everyone stops to bask in the glow of these men's brilliance. Listen to procol harum playing whiter shade of pale live as an old man for a similar experience
You are hooked now. In some down time when you are just drifting that flute solo will suddenly pop into your head. Then the enter song will flood back in. The Royal Albert Hall is fantastic and shows how his voice has improved with age. His girl friend had just broken up with him and as a parting gift gave him a set of white satin sheets. He wrote the song in 1 day. It is the last track of the album Days Of Future Past. The album was recorded with a full orchestra. The full album is a must hear for the full effect.
The original recording was long before this video, and his voice was just as beautiful back then. What's amazing is that with time he just got better. Please check out their other incredible, ground-breaking (for the time) music. Great reaction, you guys!
Donatelo.... you know your named after a turtle right...... what the he'll does who you voted for have anything to do with this song? Back in your shell sis
Had the pleasure of seeing the Moody Blues twice in my life. They never disappointed and put on a great show. Nice reaction to one of the best songs ever. Good choice.
you know this is a masterpiece and you're taking all the enjoyment and great sensation out of it when you keep stopping it to give your thoughts or whatever on it! I stopped watching after the third or fourth time you interfered with it! I don't understand why you so-called 'music lovers' do this?!?
This song has been my favorite song since the first time I first heard it in the mid 70's when I was a teenager. I haven't seen anyone that glistened to this song that didn't think it was amazing. I'm glad newer generations can enjoy a song from many generations past.
I saw these guys live in 1983. Stevie Ray Vauhan opened for them. It was the greatest show I ever saw. The Moody Blues had an entire orchestra behind them on stage, and Stevie Ray sat at the edge of the stage with his legs hanging over and he said, "I'm gonna play this guitar for you now.", and did he ever. BTW Nights in White Satin as in white satin sheets.
74 year old Justin Hayward, 75 year old Bassist John Lodge, and 80 year old Drummer Graham Edge, are still touring and playing as the Moody Blues. The Flute player/singer Ray Thomas, passed away in 2017 at 76. I believe that this was from a 1994 concert,
As noted below, the singer / guitarist is Justin Hayward - and he's been singing like that since he joined the band in 1966! This performance (might be the 2005 tour?) is *very* close to the original studio recording from 1967!
my high school graduation 1972 celebrated at Disneyland, theme was nights in white satin and was first song at the Dance at Disney Hotel, what a blast Moody Blues Rocked the night!
Lucky enough to meet Justin Hayward in 1982 when he presented my two year old daughter with a prize for fancy dress in the Hayle Carnival. At the time he lived in Lelant, Cornwall, right next door to where the recent G7 meeting was held. Lovely man and a brilliant musician and singer. Look at “Question of Balance” if you get the chance!
I was super young when I heard this song for the first time. I could hear the depth and longing for love in the music. Its also one of the songs that made me fall in love with the written word.
Another great classic rock group... they were huge in their day...classic rock can not be beat.. sorry you guys missed it, glad you are keeping the music alive for new generations.
Yes they are and awesome band and it's possible you may get to see them live if this virus ever goes away. They were still touring a few yrs ago. I've seen them at least half a dozen times starting around 1991 with the orchestra.
This is a brilliantly romantic song. I got to see them in concert in the' 90s. I was in like the 12th row. They came with a full orchestra. They sounded fabulous! When they performed Nights in White Satin it was beyond reality.
I was lucky enough to be at that concert, it was sensational. There were two on consecutive nights, and both were filmed. They were brilliant live ( I’ve seen them more than a hundred times), and their studio recordings were outstanding too. So good to see your honest first reactions. Our old music was special eh? Thanks for sharing
Saw them in 1968 at the Eagles auditorium do their first album. We all went crazy loud in cheering them, screaming more, more. The singer told us thanks, then said no one has ever cheered for us as we did. Then he said they had no other music to play for us. So he said they would play their set again, they did. No recording ever equals their life sounds.
Livie, just so you know, the conductor of most orchestras are usually masters of many instruments. The musicians in the orchestra depend on the conductor to oversee the timing of 40-100 musicians all at one time to produce that amazing sound.
When was this song first performed? In the late 60s. The vast majority of today's songs are forgotten after three years. This is an iconic masterpiece that is covered and played after 55 years.
justin hayward singer wrote this song back in 1966 as a 19yr old ,the moody blues played with the move ,pink floyd ,led zeppillin and many others in and around birmingham uk 1967 68 69 mainly in a club called mothers and this got recorded and released in 1967 and released in 1968 ,great band live and great reaction guys
The Moody Blues were a very innovative band from the late 60s and 70s like Pink Floyd,Procol Harem,Led Zeppelin and a few others I came up in the 60s and I wouldn't have missed it for the world love your classic rock reactions
This song was unique i think in that Rock music was melded with a full orchestra (on purpose that is!). The Moody Blues were innovative - and Justin Hayward was gorgeous!!! oh, and he can sing!!!!
I grew up in the 90's and my dad was a big fan of MB - we listened to them a lot. Justin Hayward was my first crush, when I was probably as young as 6. I was really confused and a bit disappointed when I left homeschool for public school at age 9 and found out all my age peers were insane about Justin Timberlake and the Backstreet Boys. They'd picked the wrong Justin and I knew it, even if they didn't.
Actually, there was no orchestra on the album. The "BBC Festival Orchestra" never existed. The record complany didn't think people would believe it was all done on the Melotron, so they made it up. Made a great legend, however and it has since come true in some of their live performance.
His name is Justin hayward, and he is one of the finest singers from the greatest era of all time, the 70's- I've seen the Moody Blues several times in concert, and they are always great. If you like this song, check out Emerson, Lake and Palmer also- Greg Lake is another of the great voices of this era.
Ps when I saw them at amphitheater near Kansas City in the 80s. A storm was swirling, lightning in the distance. Graeme Edge let the wind blow the flute while he played. Magical! 💖
Bob, I think you mean the 60s & 70s and they put out a few songs in the 80s also. Though one of best groups of all time, I don't think they qualify as a super group or at least the current definition of a super group which is members are already successful as solo artists or as part of other groups or well known in other musical professions then form a group such as the Traveling Wilburys where each member was already famous before forming this super group. The members of The Moody Blues were not famous before starting the Moody Blues though Justin Heyward did a few solo projects while still in the Moody Blues.
This is from the concert at Royal Albert Hall and the whole thing is just phenomenal - if you get a chance to see it - they are timeless, some of the best.
A little extra for you,,,,,the London philharmonic orchestra there were 106 playing in the background at the concert and came from around the world, with 14 different nationalities.
You gotta love that as a bunch of guys in their mid 70's sound just as good now as when they first came on the scene in the 60's... Epic sound without Auto tune or beat boxes....
This song still gives me goosebumps after all these years. Justin Hayward has such a gorgeous voice. Please check out Rush The Garden live from their Clockwork Angels tour. It is absolutely beautiful as well. ✌
His name is Justin Hayward and he is closing in on 80 years old. He wrote this song when he was 19 years old. Continue to explore and experience the moody blues. They are one of the most significant groups of recent history.
That of "beyond" is where that music came from.
Saw these guys in Germany in '72.

The singer is Justin Heyward. He’s led the band since 1967.
It is Hayward and he has not led the band
I'm 31 years old, I was raised on this music. My dad and I have seen the Moody Blues live at least 5 or 6 times. They are the most underrated classic rock band of all time.
I bought the album in 1968 when I was 18. It will never die !
I still have the LP album in the original jacket.
Justin was around 60 for this performance. The music was around 40 years old.
This version is missing a spoken part at the very end.
Breathe deep the gathering gloom,
Watch lights fade from every room.
Bedsitter people look back and lament,
Another day's 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 colours from our sight.
Red is grey and yellow white.
But we decide which is right.
And which is an illusion?
Morning Glory:
Cold hearted orb that rules the night,
Removes the colours from our sight,
Red is gray and yellow white,
But we decide which is right.
And which is an illusion?
Pinprick holes in a colourless sky,
Let insipid figures of light pass by,
The mighty light of ten thousand suns,
Challenges infinity and is soon gone.
Night time, to some a brief interlude,
To others the fear of solitude.
Brave Helios wake up your steads,
Bring the warmth the countryside needs.
The voice, the melody, the lyrics. What a masterpiece. This is a prime example of the power of great music.

It never gets old for me even listening to music for over 63 years old. It keeps me young in my heart and mind, even when my body argues with me now. Hahaha
It's getting like that for me, too! But so long as I can listen to the Moody Blues or Procol Harum I feel OI'm back where I started,
👍
One of the all time classic songs. The studio version is more haunting but this is an amazing performance.
I like this live version and I've seen The Moody blues perform this song live but I like the long studio version better than the live version
He still sounds great but Justin Hayward this is quite possibly the weakest I've heard him sing. His voice isn't nearly as powerful as normal.
I cannot say I "saw" them, but Moody Blues played with the Vancouver Symphony outdoors at Nat Bailey baseball stadium in Vancouver BC. We sat on the side of little mountain across the street.

We heard it perfectly fine and it was a great show. They were then banned from playing at Bailey again because Moody Blues and the Vancouver Symphony... were too loud.
The one with Michael Jackson.
Yes, studio verson is better. For me, i hardly like live performances.
I prefer the studio version because of this same reason but yeah good performance live
Always feel that no woman no person, can live up to that passion, for me it belongs to human's Creator and the Creator of music itself! It's beauty and its love, love itself. That feeling put into music like no one's done before or since!

Seriously???? OMG
Now that’s true love ❤️. Congratulations to both of them and wishing them many more years together
Those facts never cease to amaze me.
Dona, stop being a potato.
That's pretty cool actually Dave. Thanks for sharing.
'67 was a power year for rock.... The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Sergeant Pepper's, Moody Blues, and more...
Be ready be blown away. Like we were when I first heard them over 50 plus years ago. Enjoy and trip out
This song is 54yrs old. It was released in 1967. This is a classic. It is awesome
The Moody Blues are always a journey. Your journey has begun.
White Satin Tuesday afternoon, Your wildest dreams Moody Blues
One of the best songs of all time..timeles.....
Justin Hayward's voice is a gift from God. He's had it since he was in his teens and still has it now.
The singers name is Justin Hayward, and he wrote the song when he was 17 years old and recorded it with the Moody Blues when he was 19, you should check out Forever Autumn a song by Justin Hayward from the musical version of War of The Worlds by Jeff Wayne it's beautiful
Justin is doing a solo mini tour. I just got tickets to see him at City Winery Boston in September.
@@shwicaz wow lucky guy, he is amazing live you're in for one hell of a performance
I love forever autumn.
The song Forever Autumn is special to me. My wife and I (both big Moody Blues fans) would often go for really long walks in the woods here in the central California Coast . We were married for 25 years but together for 30. The only girl I ever Kissed. She passed away from Pancreatic Cancer back in 2009. Those leaves lay undisturbed now, because she's not here.

It makes me feel good that you young kids still love my music I love you oh yeah I love you
Both of you now understand the power of the moody blues. I have seen them 14 times
Such an old song. So beautiful.
This is an excellent concert video and I highly recommend watching the whole thing.

Justin Hayward's voice is just amazing, like others have said "Forever Autumn" off of The War of the Worlds album is just beautiful.
Loved that Album, nearly every song was great, Richard Burton's narration, fantastic.
Still listen to that album today. Ahead of it's time!
.... and he still have that voice!
Forever Autumn? Damn. ♥️😞♥️

His voice hasn't changed in decades!
Thank you for your reaction. It warms my heart and makes me cry. I heard this song first in early 70s it still affects me. 💋
This song has always giving me goosebumps
A good song is a good song no matter who or when it’s made. They stand the test of time👍
this was the first concert i ever went to...1971, excellent!
I saw these guys live in 1983. Stevie Ray Vauhan opened for them. It was the greatest show I ever saw.

Pink Floyd n Moody Blues r really 2 of the most outstanding bands.
This song came out when i was a KID... and i'm 58 now.. and still respect the message!!
74 year old Justin Hayward, 75 year old Bassist John Lodge, and 80 year old Drummer Graham Edge, are still touring and playing as the Moody Blues. The Flute player/singer Ray Thomas, passed away in 2017 at 76. I believe that this was from a 1994 concert,

This song is like a fine wine that only gets better over time. Fabulous song. nice reaction.

Look at “Question of Balance” if you get the chance!
This is the first song I ever remember hearing. Special place for this one.
A wonderful very spiritual group
I was super young when I heard this song for the first time. I could hear the depth and longing for love in the music. Its also one of the songs that made me fall in love with the written word.
You must hear the extended play version on their album that is 20 minutes long❣️ It will blow your mind away ‼️
Another great classic rock group... they were huge in their day...classic rock can not be beat.. sorry you guys missed it, glad you are keeping the music alive for new generations.
You two are adorable. I wish you the best!

I recognize that fabric! Omg, gurl, I had a dress made from that material! Small world!
Saw them in 1968 at the Eagles auditorium do their first album. We all went crazy loud in cheering them, screaming more, more. The singer told us thanks, then said no one has ever cheered for us as we did. Then he said they had no other music to play for us. So he said they would play their set again, they did.

Lead singer is Justin Hayward. This song was first recorded in the 60s. The band is still touring
super fun watching you guys discover this amazing music.
Livie, just so you know, the conductor of most orchestras are usually masters of many instruments. The musicians in the orchestra depend on the conductor to oversee the timing of 40-100 musicians all at one time to produce that amazing sound.
Orchestra and rock are like peanut butter and jelly!!!

justin hayward singer wrote this song back in 1966 as a 19yr old ,the moody blues played with the move ,pink floyd ,led zeppillin and many others in and around birmingham uk 1967 68 69 mainly in a club called mothers and this got recorded and released in 1967 and released in 1968 ,great band live and great reaction guys
The Moody Blues were a very innovative band from the late 60s and 70s like Pink Floyd,Procol Harem,Led Zeppelin and a few others I came up in the 60s and I wouldn't have missed it for the world love your classic rock reactions
This song was unique i think in that Rock music was melded with a full orchestra (on purpose that is!). The Moody Blues were innovative - and Justin Hayward was gorgeous!!! oh, and he can sing!!!!
One of the first “prog rock” bands for sure pushed the sound of music and continued to change with it
I grew up in the 90's and my dad was a big fan of MB - we listened to them a lot. Justin Hayward was my first crush, when I was probably as young as 6. I was really confused and a bit disappointed when I left homeschool for public school at age 9 and found out all my age peers were insane about Justin Timberlake and the Backstreet Boys.
They'd picked the wrong Justin and I knew it, even if they didn't.
Actually, there was no orchestra on the album. The "BBC Festival Orchestra" never existed. The record complany didn't think people would believe it was all done on the Melotron, so they made it up. Made a great legend, however and it has since come true in some of their live performance.
So cool to see young people react to REAL MUSIC. AMAZING MUSIC!
Thank you for that. First time seeing it sung live and, i enjoyed watching your vid😊
His name is Justin hayward, and he is one of the finest singers from the greatest era of all time, the 70's- I've seen the Moody Blues several times
in concert, and they are always great. If you like this song, check out Emerson, Lake and Palmer also- Greg Lake is another of the great voices
of this era.
Ps when I saw them at amphitheater near Kansas City in the 80s. A storm was swirling, lightning in the distance. Graeme Edge let the wind blow the flute while he played. Magical! 💖
One of the most beautiful songs ever. They came out in the 1960's.
The Moody Blues were one of the "Supergroups" of the 70's. You better be good if you have an orchestra backing you up.
Bob, I think you mean the 60s & 70s and they put out a few songs in the 80s also. Though one of best groups of all time, I don't think they qualify as a super group or at least the current definition of a super group which is members are already successful as solo artists or as part of other groups or well known in other musical professions then form a group such as the Traveling Wilburys where each member was already famous before forming this super group. The members of The Moody Blues were not famous before starting the Moody Blues though Justin Heyward did a few solo projects while still in the Moody Blues.
Great group but no super group lol There were only a few of those
Ray Thomas was the man playing the flute, sadly he passed away a few years ago from cancer. The rest of the band is still touring.
Another timeless piece of music from 1971.
You MUST listen to the FULL VERSION, and be sure to let it play in it's ENTIRETY...
😁
The lead vocalist for the Moody Blues is Justin Hayward. You might enjoy the epic song "The Question."
It's a sixties Band with their greatest hit.
I saw them live with a symphony orchestra in the 1990’s . Something else.
One of the all-time favorite slow dance song
You guys started out looking very skeptical but then….you really listened to the joy of this music.
The Moody Blues were an awesome band, and quite frankly we had a LOT of great bands back in that era.
I got to see them live. Truly awesome. War Of The World's album, narrated by Richard Burton, soundtrack was by the Moody Blues.
Beautiful song, reminds me of my late father playing the album Out Of This World with this track was on.
at weekend parties we slow danced in the dark to this song sometimes 3 times in a row
This is from the concert at Royal Albert Hall and the whole thing is just phenomenal - if you get a chance to see it - they are timeless, some of the best.
must listen to the full studio version
This never gets old.
First time I listened to this was 1973 at school... blew me away, it's still does 💜🎶👍
The Moody Blues have been around since the 70s.
So, yes they are an older band.
But dang they are soooo good.
A little extra for you,,,,,the London philharmonic orchestra there were 106 playing in the background at the concert and came from around the world, with 14 different nationalities.
You gotta love that as a bunch of guys in their mid 70's sound just as good now as when they first came on the scene in the 60's... Epic sound without Auto tune or beat boxes....
This song still gives me goosebumps after all these years. Justin Hayward has such a gorgeous voice. Please check out Rush The Garden live from their Clockwork Angels tour. It is absolutely beautiful as well. ✌
check out more The Moody Blues like "Tuesday Afternoon" or "Your Wildest Dreams"
Gemini Dream, Blue World...
Absolutely!
The Voice is good too.
My dad's favourite song dedicated to my mum 💙🙏
My fav music of all time
One of the 10 greatest songs of all time.
Justin Hayward (singer/songwriter) is one of the greatest free agent pickup in rock history.
In case you didn't know, this song was released in 1967 at the height of the hippie movement and summer of love.
One of the greatest songs ever made PERIOT.
A lesson..don’t diss a song so quickly because it starts with an orchestra! How beautiful was that!?
