  • "don t ever hurt anybody. neither physically nor emotionally" - John Lodge

    great band. nice lads. a class act indeed.

  • I still have the vinyl album that has the ending noise on the closeout groove

  • Greatest Band there ever was or will be. Jesus and the Moody Blues teach us to love everyone . And Love is the answer.. :-) ~~~PEACE & LOVE~~~

  • grew up with the MB's and I still can't get my son(20) to slow down

    enough to listen to them. Once the kids get hooked on hip hop their

    minds are on a different frequency. I miss the music and experiences

    of the late 60's and my senior year of high school-1970. We all just

    assumed that this band was "spiritually enlightened" and we were going

    to grab every word and note to our heart. They were musical poets and

    we knew they had something special. Thanks for letting me rock on.

  • @doula2010 I'm huge into hip-hop and have sampled The Voyage and numerous other Moody Blues songs in a lot of my beats. This is great music!

  • A great selection and the best of the Moody Blues. Knocked and admired in equal measure, MB epitomised their era and today bring their music to a whole new legion of fans.

    Play on MB!...you've made your timeless mark on this world, whilst todays tin bands struggle to make theirs.

  • REAL ACID early 70's Headphones, Pink Floyd, The Moody Blues, Were the days that will never come back.......Kids these days will NEVER understand. !!

  • Alright lovely people that watch this video. There is another video that looks exactly like this that is stolen and being used on another channel. I will not allow this to happen so please flag it. Go to goddessprojectvideos channel and look for Moody Blues "Have You Heard The Voyage."

  • @tommusicfan19 So you're mad somebody else is using your video after you're using somebody else's music? Kind of ironic eh? The Voyage is still a great piece of music!

  • Back in the days of bath-tub and pharmacutical REAL Acid. Songs like this from the MB's could bring you back from a real bad trip. They were saviours!

    Those days are long gone now but, listening to them now still gives me the old "Melancholy Man" feeling.

  • close your eyes...go on a journey...

  • just one word can describe this song......HAUNTING

  • This is the Moody Blues at their proggiest.... If you know what I mean...

  • My very favorite Moody Blues work...When Mike Pinder split after Seventh Sojourn,that was the end of their best work.

  • This album actually came out in 1969 as did Children's.

  • This is my favorite Moody Blues album.

  • hoth2o Ther'es NOBODY could put that better than you have, that's just exactly how itis! thanks!

  • I remember a music book I used to have in 70's. There was a quote in it where it was talking about you being on a trip, soaring through space, exploring galaxies, and then you realize you're still lying flat on your back on your living room floor...listening to the Moody Blues. THIS must've been the tune that inspired that quote. Great stuff!

  • @ProgBassistPhx Theplaces they took me whenna was lyin on some floor stoned........amazin!

  • The moody blues took us by the hand, each album a lesson book, to grow, to gain insight into who we are and what we can be.My life now in my 60s would hav been empty without their gifts, esoteric, metaphysical , metaphoric .words fail to reflect my deepest thanks . my lessons soooo complete. jus waiting on the bus...

  • @hoth2o  Absolutely, absolutely, this is how it was/is, I could not agree more! As John Lodge would say,"keep the faith!" :-)

  • Comment removed

  • I love this trippy tune; it sounds real spacey in some places, haunting in others. Warning! After listening to this track a few times, it’s stirring lyrics and spacey tune will likely return to you later! It waxes richly contemplative. It was so different than anything else of its time; the Moody Blues showed that music can be used to take people far beyond everyday life. Others groups should try extend their talent this far. It cements a much wider and devoted following.

  • Thanks! This is on my "memorial party" (wake) cd!

  • @cloudjia This album, "On the Threshhold of a Dream," came out in the first half of 1969. Their next album, "To our Children's Children's Children," came out later in 1969.

  • Hands down, On The Threshold of a Dream is my favorite Moodies Album from their early years, and these three songs my favorite part of their album!

  • Love it, love it, love it! Really takes me back. The best compilation album ever!

  • haha one person missed the like button! how silly they are

  • Love this song. Don't know why. Just feel so good when I listen to it. The Moody Blues are the soundtrack to my life - a constant that brings nothing but peace and joy.

  • MA FAV SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • sit back and relax!!!!!

  • The song was written and sung by Moodies founder Mike Pinder. His photo is shown a few times in the group shots pictured here.

  • Moodies Forever!!! Why do we fight Wars and spill blood and spend our treasure for Oil?

    Can't anybody come up with a solution.. Come on Mark K's and the Genius of this country.Right, no money to be made!!!

  • I come from today's musical genre. Turned on to these guys by a friend. Incredible Band!!

    Like going from war to peace <3

  • The Moody Blues really don't have to be in the R & R Hall of Fame.....

    They are the R& R Hall of Fame

  • @billykkutter  right on

  • takes me back to apple wine and lovemaking on a blanket

  • From their album,"On the threshold of a dream". The archetypal Moody Blues.

    Eternal and outstanding. From what I remember the album was cut in 1969 and stayed in the number one spot in Britain for over a year. I bought it in 1972 whilst at college.

    Long may their music live.

  • beautiful

  • When was this song made?

  • Thanks for uploading.

  • A legendary set of tracks from a great musical age.....ageless and beautiful it can only be the Moody Blues at their best......and a great video as well.

    When I ascend to heaven,( I've booked), these tracks will be my backdrop.

  • the best ever, colin & lesley  from nottingham we were there magic

  • absotutly brilliant

  • This song brings back so many pleasant memories! I still play my Threshold of a dream album frequently!!! The Moody Blues ia my favorite group! Just saw them in concert and they sound as good now as they di then!! Their music is very poetic! They are Genius!!!!!

  • Love Mike Pinder's technique with the pitch bends. Haven't heard anyone else that can do them like Mike! Also the tone he was able to get from the mellotron. He used to work at Streetly Electronics testing the trons. They are not easy to play due to the taped sounds only lasting 6 to 8 seconds for each of the keys,yet he could make it sound so smooth! These early recordings are incredible. Thanks for the great memories.

  • the moodies played this suite toward the end of their show- they started with 'are you sitting comfortably" then moved straight into "have you heard the voyage and then have you heard pt II. Mike Pinder's mellotron was at its peak- very loud and created its own wind. the lighting was an eerie purple with blue hints which made the band appear to be floating in space.

    and it was mind blowing- this was when a concert was a big get high event and not alot of don'ts and cops.

    Have you heard ?

  • @nootaramus right on,before gettin high was a bad thing!

  • The Moody Blues created some of the most moving and beautiful music l have evr heard.

  • "The Voyage" is one of the most epic songs I have ever listened to. Jesus Christ on a bicycle!!!

  • MB's were never really the complete band without Mike Pinder.

  • LOVE THEM! :-)

    My dad has been a fan for over 40 years. I'm so glad he "showed" them to me. :-)

  • The Moody Blues I have seen 5 times, they always have back up girl singers, at least in the 5 concerts I saw.

  • I did not know the MB had a girl singer. Look to the left of this video at the end. Who is the girl with the guitar who is obviously singing?

  • @Halo101st Moodies had no girl singer.

  • @manliter Look at 6:47 into this song. There is a girl with a guitar standing stage right playing along with the group. She is most probably a back up, but she is playing and singing with the group.

  • @Halo101st Just a back up singer/player. Moodies never had a girl in the band.

  • This is so lovely and so inspiring- thank you for sharing it. Oh, how I love The Moody Blues!

  • now i know that we are real//// belong to the same world.... turned on to the same world/.............. doorways... have led me here....

    thank you for this song unlike any other.. it speaks to me so deeply.

    My beloved Moodies

  • What's Jumpin' Off?! Any Delaware Valley-ites remember the #1 Soul Brother Psychedelic Phil from Camden, NJ? Late 60's to mid 70's Used to throw the wildest house parties for "Heads Only." Been told he was at Camden Co College from '75-'78. Holler at me if you know/knew him! R U there Adrienne Eve from Garfield Ave?

  • @lkl8 - Yeah, this is Mike Pinder - Mr Heavyheavyheavy songwriter. . . He was the Lennon to Hayward's McCartney (though the parallel is not nearly exact). During his time with the MB's it was such a great mix of heavy and beauty, deep and light, cosmic and "Lovely to see you again, my friend."

    @murple - Many a rabbit hole, yes - the one only the Moodies could take you down. . .

    @280553vs - many of those rabbit holes ended up soaring in some galaxy. . . somewhere. . . with some God somewhere.

  • these guys are spiritual and i have learned so much from their songs. Saw them in Dublin way back in '89 i think. life's ambition fulfilled. Thank you MB's for helping to make me the person i am today. love you always.

  • murple I was down that same rabbit hole! Did you see me?

  • Mike Pinder wrote and sings this song.

  • Who is the lead singer on this? It's not Justin, and I don't think it sounds like John, either.

  • @lkl8 i think its Mike Pinder

  • One of the most psychedelic pieces of music ever. Been down many rabbit holes with the help of this song!

  • now that you know that you are free,,, each day has it all wys.. a look down lifes hallways... doorways... to lead you there,,,

    amazing lyrics from a phenomenal band, Love for a lifetime and many more to come.

  • Does everyone else feel the energy in this song? Sense the day this song became in existance, it still moves life in such a great way. A time of great music I am glade to have grown up listening to it too!

  • These moody Blues tunes are etched into my best memory's. They can never be erased!

  • NOW u know how nice it feels!!

  • Loved him back then, love them now. Quality music lasts.

  • Right behind The Beatles. What an honor!

  • Beatles #1

    Moody Blues#2

  • The song is "Trippie" takes you in your minds eye on a fantastic journey.. ^i^

  • @radr4lf55 Well, that's pretty much what millions of us did when we put our vinyls of this stuff on those old Sony's, Panasonic's and Dual's 40 years ago. Sheryl Crow said she knew a vending machine repairman who got high on existentialism, ya know. And that's what we did. The seven albums from 1967 to 1972 were each "trips" from the first to the final note. We listened. We felt. We thought. We grew.

  • I would listen to them all night while in college and attended some of their first US concerts. I've seen them most recently at a 2008 Christmas Party in Dallas, TX up close and personal, they still send shivers through my whole body.

  • Very nice song~

    Check out Awake and aware in L.A. David Wilcox Interesting Information on the human experience

  • love it!

  • Great Video, i've been trying to look for this song for a long time

  • This is simply magnificent. I particularly love Mike Pinder's piano solo which begins at 4.27 and ends approx 5.28 - breathtaking.

    The Moody Blues are one of the few groups whose music will be played / remembered in decades to come.

  • it is like seein an old wonderful friend Lucinda, I know they are inspiring the contemporary indie bands. cool. I was a "surrounded by friends " constantly" but still painfully lonely teen. This and other music helped me feel less lonely.

    The younger peeps dont seem to know this music. It makes me feel like writing a theater peice to go with it. Smile smile Has anyone seen them recently , its still great? would love to know?

  • I'm going to see them tomorrow night but I did see them about 1 1/2 years ago. They were fantastic! I think the voices have done well and the music just gets better and better. I took my 28 yr. old daughter who grew up hearing me play their music. She said it was the best concert she had ever been to!

  • I took my 27 year old daughter and my 2 year old granddaughter and 8 year grandson and my 21 year old son who's name is Justin, of course, and my 10 year old son...his name is Jonathan... 2 the September 09 show in Memphis! Thank you for the post and helping to create more generatins of Moody Blues fans! Peace, my fellow Moody fan! Long may they rock! They sound as GREAT as ever!

  • I added another generation in September as I took my 74 yr. mom to her first MB concert. She loved it! I think it's the best MB concert I've ever been too and I've seen them about 15 times since the mid 80s. I had the time of my life! It was just them, no orchestra and they rocked the Fabulous Fox Theater in St. Louis -- wish I could go again right now! I had to exercise restraint though, John was only several feet away from me and I was on the aisle on his side!!! LOL

  • Never to late for new Justin/ Moody Blues fans! love to all! Peace my friends! I had to do kind of the same thing! I was standing so close I could have touched John at one point and all I coould do was just look and remind myself to breathe! Had to miss the past three years due to an accident, but am on the mend and, if I can help it, I will never miss another concert!

    Love znd Peace to you and your precious mom! Tonya

  • saw them oct 2008 Royal Albert Hall,tour still on in USA.Yes they were/are still fabulous

  • Thank you for the memories this has brought back................happy days.

  • Great job, Tommy! This is my favorite Moody Blues song. Seeing the album cover "This is the Moody Blues" brought a smile to my face - it was like seeing an old friend! Thanks again!

  • All their music is beautiful, but these three pieces are tremendous!

  • Truly a CLASSICAL peace.

  • 25 y/o life long fan. Thanks to my parents. Im passing it on to 6 month old son.

  • What a beautiful song & video. Will see them in Costa Mesa-CA in 3 weeks for the 22nd time. Outdoors, close to ocean, sunset, Moodys playing!!! Not much can be better.

  • mesmerizing somg

  • oh yes how this song makes us free

    A look down lifes hallways

    doorways to lead us there

  • WOW! I MISSED THIS SO MUCH, THANK YOU!

  • very good sound on this, from CD?

  • This is from their Compilation album "This Is The Moody Blues" CD so yes this is CD quality sound that you can here from here

  • @jonasjar  Best

  • Does anyone know how to play the piano part from 4:27 to about 5:30? or can someone please give me those tabs?

  • I as well remember the First time i ever heard of the Moody Blues,,where i was,and the circumstance as to how i heard them...Knights in White Satin ,to be exact,and my Mother was home listening to them,i walked in,,she shssss'd me with closed eye's and a finger to her lips shushingly .lol..soo into the music..

    Thank You Moody Blues..and My Ever soo Missed Mother,,she's probably Shusshing the Angels,,and Listening to them ^i^ ^i^ ^i^ I Love you :)

  • I understand that Pink Floyd, we're very much influenced by the Moody blues.

  • absolutely love the Moody Blues... thanx goes to my parents to exposing me whenever we went camping... now every time i hear a Moody Blues song i think of where i was when i heard it... its amazing... love them... born in '92 btw... younger generation has some good class in it still

  • this number makes me get goosebumps. kinda sad too. i think it's great that the younger generation finds meaning in these songs. (drooblat). inmo, anything after 1979 can't compare.

  • Back in '94 my dad turned me on to them via a doubled-sided casette. In Search of the Lost Chord/ On the Threshold of a Dream. I listened to this section so much that I began to hear the other album come through in reverse as the tape wore down. The Moody Blues was the perfect medicine for the cultural infirmities I suffered through the enticements of the pre-adolescent renaissance known as grunge rock.

  • About forty years since first getting into this song from my favorite Moody Blues album, it still rates to me one of my top songs from my favorite group of all times. Thank you YouTube for this great website and nice job from the maker of this video. Moody Blues are Masters of this higher level type rock. And do they ever rock out live-see them live,. if you get a chance. And they really belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame of the Universe.

  • This particular medley sounds a bit more crisp and spacious than the original....it sounds absolutely fantastic

  • In these days... what a beautiful warming feeling. It's been too long.

  • enjoy the music Jim,kick your shoes off... take a deep breath and let the music take you away to that place of total relaxation! Have a great weekend!

  • Gruntol5, you have a good point re: R&RHofF inductees and the Moodys, one I have begun to have myself. They are too special and amazing to be gathered into such a musically confining group. There has not been a single time that I have been bored with their music and I first heard them back in 1967. Their concerts have constantly improved over the years. I've had the pleasure to see them five times, the last in Portland OR 2001--and, it was the best! Thanks for your comments.

  • The moddys music has always and  still does warm my heart. What amazing musicians.

  • I wrote to the Rock in Roll Hall of Fame about the MB, asking why in the world they weren't included. I got a very long reply, but the short of it was the RRHF doesn't care about all the folks who have voted for the Moodies either by mail, email or phone. They have there OWN way of selecting which artists are chosen and that MAYBE one day the MB will be selected. So basically --- the fans don't count.

  • Comment removed

  • It's not appropriate to have the MB's in R&R Hall of Fame. Here's some of the first choices they made (1986): Buddy Holly Chuck Berry Elvis Presley Fats Domino James Brown Jerry Lee Lewis Little Richard Ray Charles Sam Cooke The Everly Brothers - All Americans (of course!) I'm not saying there's anything wrong with these artists, but the Moody Blues are a world apart. I would hate to see them in this company. They were/are far too special and in a class of their own..
  • they have to be one of the most creative musicians and song writers there has been. And so under rated!

  • Every time I hear a MB song I'm amazed at how they can continue to entertain and inspire me! God, I'll miss them, but at least we'll have their tremendous music...and the dreams.

  • Why the pictures of the band when Patrick Moraz played keyboard? You know this is Pinder on the vocals don't you?

    I don't think the band ever played this song after Pinder left. This is a sore spot for those of us who love the "core 7" sound. It seems that they are stuck with their own issues & there will no reunion - not even a studio video.

  • Good point! Not to take anything away from Moraz (very talented in his own right), but Pinder and the mellotron were at the heart of so many of the Moodies' songs. What a band!

  • this band were so ahead of their time. close your eyes to this and it takes you on a journey. lucy in the sky eat your heart out

  • Nice one tom.....good choice ......the mellotron still does what no other can...

    lol

    kutter

  • Revelation 13:15-18

    a choice...

    the sane world of God's love,

    or the insane world of hatred!

  • Nancy, remember the RG Saddle Club and Gidget?

    I loved you then and now, you did the right thing. I still love you, and you were wild!

    David,

  • Nancy S. and I love them!...., Right Nancy?

  • What can be said about the Moody Blues except they are the GREATEST BAND EVER. They bring back many memories of how it was in the 60's and 70's. What wonderful years they were but thanks to the libes look what we have today God forgive them for they no not what they done.

  • a million thank yous!!

    I found a copy of this record in my tool shed a few years ago, never knowing anything about the Moody Blues...and WOW its truly amazing

  • ...Moodys..... Have You Heard....You Are Legends...To The World.....

  • The best song ever (in my opinion) !!

  • I'd still go and see them.

  • I saw them do this song live back in the early 70's in St. Louis Mo. You could actually feel wind wooshing from Pinder's Mellotron!

  • unbelievable music at it's pureeeeeeeeeest partner

  • Is isn't "The Moody Blues" without Mike Pinder.

    Thanks for posting!

  • i love them thanks!

  • One of my all time favorite Moody Blues tracks! Mike Pinder's best song along with Out and In.

  • I still remember the first time I heard this song, immediately following Alison Steele the Nightbird's open on WNEW FM. Worked perfectly after the flute music and that moment in time sticks with me to this day --

  • the trippiest song the Moodies ever did

  • I love this song. Thank you.

  • Thank you Tom for putting this clip of my favourite group on youtube,you have made my night by seeing it again,cheers,a moody blues fan,kim xxxx
