  • Fantastic song, I so love it and Justin, John Lodge, Graeme Edge, and Ray Thomas sorry to see you leave. I love The Moody Blues!!!!

  • i was told to listen to this band...and i said to the guy who told me, that i do not listen to underground music!!!! yeah right!!! And then their music HIT me!!!! WOW !

    i have been hooked since and even taught my children to listen to their music. i am now 58 and still am a HUGE fan!!

  • 4 dislikes??? I guess there are four people out there who are "strange" and wouldn't know good music if it came up and bit them on the arse.

  • This is an awesome production... I only wish that I could have experienced it live....!

    Thank You, Moody Blues

  • THe moody blues are one of the all time great bands of human shumanship.

  • im 65 and have loved their music since days of the future passed, saw them in auckland, best concert i have seen, and ive seen quite a few, just want to say that these guys have made my world a better place

  • My top REAL band.Saw them in Sydney.They hit Reality.The Aussie

  • This song was played at my Father's funeral...brings me to tears every time I hear it.

  • this song !

  • its in my heart !

  • sunflower74311: You are so wrong! Jesus is NOT god! read your bible and you will know! Why is it that so many read it wrong? NO where in the bible says that Jesus is god, BUT it says that he is GODS SON! (sorry my english, i did my best :-) )

  • I never heard this song earlier until yesterday I watched "Pirates of silicon valley"..this song was playing in background in the scene when steve visits therapist..and just the first line of the song made my breath go deeper and deeper....

  • No other band in many a year has brought peace to my heart and soul and made me feel alive. You guy's are great and we finally saw you in Charlotte a while back and it brought memories that I thought I had forgotten. Good show. Music does sooth the sole.

  • One of my all time favorites Moody Blues are timeless..!

  • Magnificent! The entire forum is breathtaking! Came across this song recently reminiscing about my introduction to amazing music. Hit one of the high's!

  • always gives me the goosebumps when they sing this song. its amazing. this song is so moving. makes it so peaceful around.

  • I'm 17 years old and went to see them last night in melbourne! I absolutely love their music! One of the best nights of my life!

  • @JimbopsChannel WOW !!!! Very Cool, You Lucky :-)  LM

  • @JimbopsChannel I've seen them awhile back 1996, took my mother & she loved them. She is no longer alive, but I'll never forget that night. Glad you like them, check out the early stuff.

  • John Lodge, you are brilliant, Justin, Ray and Graeme, what a band you are, I love you love you, love you

    Go Moody Blues...

    forever young

  • CLASS!!!

  • Damn he looks great. What a band...no other really compares imho.  Have always adored the Moodies and really regret not going to see them in Jacksonville a few years ago when I had the chance.

  • First time listening to this song, wow such a good band.

  • Seems a hundred years ago...just a teenager when I first had their ablum, always loved this song. Thank you for having it!

  • Where can I get a copy of this on DVD ?

  • @runthruthewoods this is Moody Blues at Royal Albert Hall 'Hall of Fame' DVD 2000. Fantastic!

  •  ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT

  • A thousand emotions in this masterpiece - don't know how I could have lived my life without this song. How incredibly beautiful!

  • the best ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I have loved your music for such a long time. Moody Blues as time goes by people will come to know of your SKILL with voice and instrument how should be composed. THANK you for your GIFT to ME.

  • Love the Moodies. Always have. And I miss Ray.

  • My highschool is doing Moody Blues song to A Midsummer Night's Dream and making is a musical. The song itself is amazing, but with a different story behind it is crazy awesome

  • The only concert I remember from my youth was the Moody Blues.

  • Comment removed

  • @TheStrat1958 Same thing.

  • OMG - I was at this concert - I love the Moodies  :)

    I was crying at the time and I'm crying now

    I'm a silly old bugger :(

    Thank you for the share

  • @LynnMee WHERE WAS THIS concert. I want to see if they also did I Know You're Out There Somewhere at this concert, too. I like this version better than the recorded version. I want to see if I feel the same way about Out There Somewhere. Thanks, so. Olivia Anne

  • As a college freshman in '73 I wore the groves off this album. Saw them in concert a couple of years ago and they were great. Love this live version - still transports me...

  • From "The Moody Blues Hall of Fame ~ Live At The Royal Albert Hall" DVD circa 2000. Just saw them do this live in Vancouver (as a 7 piece band) and I honestly think it was the best and most moving song I have ever encountered in concert, over 30+ years of concert going. Row 6, center, wow, what a thrill!

  • Absolutely loving this song

    

  • thank you...

  • steve jobs

  • @hellozackchen He went to hell!!!

  • Loved this song for many years...thanks so much for having it...many memories.

  • CLASS! CLASS! CLASS!

    Bravo Mr. John Lodge. Simply brilliant.

  • god theyre FUCKING AMAZING live

    

  • the class act of rock. indeed. simply beautiful...

  • mi ricordano molto i mitici aphrodite's child , magari dal vivo con silver. è bellissimo questo pezzo . cari utenti italiani di youtube basta con questi paragoni assurdi con i pooh .

  • First song I danced to with my fiancee,after a 20 y. bad marriage. Live from red rock in colarado. Unfortunately, I was not ready for another relationship. We had tickets for mann music in Philadelphia summer of 95'. He took his own life. This is first time i have been able to listen to this song. 16 years later. Still not over what I blame myself for. but ,I had a good cry,and they say that is a start.

  • such a peaceful and loving song I love it!!!!

  • Life isn't so strange! You want to see strange, spend a few hours with my crappy wife!

  • @stinger139 ...I just heard the shittiest comment on a moody blues video. You go to a love song on youtube then you comment- spend a few hours with my crappy wife. Get your ass out of here, and get a divorce if your wife is so crappy.

  • @supercj8899 Get a life you retard! How old are you? 9?

  • @stinger139 You're 64 and using age as an insult? I'd really expect you to be less immature.

  • God, this brings such tears to my eyes! Awesome, just awesome! My son would SOOOOO have loved this....

  • I.......................miss her.

  • Where and when was this concert?

  • @aleczko Red Rocks, 1993?

  • @ram4586321 my mistake this is not red rocks

  • this song is so beautiful, and the arrangement......it had to be a genius to do it for full orchestra. i am a guy of 54 and this song makes me cry from the first measure on.

  • I love this song. Beautiful.

  • I have always found a connection to the lyrics in their songs and my life - guess that's why they're one of my fav bands of all time!

  • Love Them!!

  • AMAZING

  • love this video, so sorry for your sadness, iamthewabbit1

  • Surreal, the epitome of soulful harmony !!!

  • Great band, amazing songs

  • @sunonthewindow Thanks for the info .... off to Amazon!!! :)

  • I have been a fan for 30 years now .even when they took time off .And came back stronger than before .The only bad part now is Ray is no longer with them .He is missed bye many and will be .

  • Indescribable! Simply exquisite, if that is apt.

  • I can hardly wait until Sept to see them again live.

  • I was lucky enough to see the Moody Blues in Myrtle Beach, SC a few years ago. Anything and everything they do is superb! And still just as good-looking as ever!

  • Is this concert on DVD? What is it called? Thanks

  • having found my true love and soul mate 35 years ago and then to lose her to MS not long ago...this song is so touching. i fell in love with the moodies long before i met her. rock on guys...

  • I feel sorry for the dislikers...that they have never known this kind of love. "To love and to have lost...." the passion, the height of feelings, the total immersion into and by another human being.... Pray that you find before your time is gone.... Turtle

  • Majestic, beautiful, magnificent.....these words do not adequately convey just how wonderful this song and this performance really are. Love the Moody Blues and they are truly one of the great bands of all time....I could listen to this song forever, even in eternity, it would not get old....It is like a glass of cold water to a person dying of thirst in a vast desert......

  • mystical, melodic, lovely, lovely song~

  • Isn't life strange? Some day in the future, all the Moodies will get back together and play this song, I hope. Jastin, John, Gream and Michel--not to mention Ray.

  • As much as I love you, and I do, Jesus loves you so much more. He is God. He is gracious, kind, forgiving, and gives you more love and peace than you could ever imagine. Please ask Him into your heart.

  • @sunflower74311 God bless you lady...

  • Amen

  • @sunflower74311 please don't preach, this isn't a church. Its youtube.

  • @sunflower74311 God bless you lady.

  • The Moodies are just the greatest period .........

  • Happy Belated B-day, John!! To all of you, thanks for being in my life for 40+ years...still loving your music, and each of you. You have brought magic and joy to myself and MANY others, year after year. Here it is 2011, and you're STILL GREAT!

    *Hugs* to you all, Tory/Magoo

  • Excellent video!

  • I don't know why, but this song always puts me in the best mood. It just makes me happy :)

  • it is the quicksand of time !!!!

  • quite nice....... another reason i write......

    from scottshlass

  • quite nice....... another reason i write......

    

  • I write music now at 53 years old, because of the Moodies. This group has influenced my life, my music, emotions so much that I now write in there path. From Mike with his Mellotron and Justin and John with their riffs on the guitar and great vocals. I cannot forget Ray's amazing flute and vocals (writings) and at the back Graeme Edge's perfect drumming and occasional lead speaking from the poetic genius work of the Moody writers. What can I say , they are endless .

  • @Spiritrising200 Response to Spiritrising200

    I remember a place from my mispent summers during my youth called Waterton Lakes International Peace Park .The old townsite is in a valley surrounded by a bri lliant glacier fed lake and snow capped towering mountains. The musical mastery of the Moody Blues were able to match the mystery of the yearning I felof life through music and words.

  • Wow...this production gives me goosebumps.

  • Excellent, better with age :-)

  • Stevie Ray Vaughn is good too!

  • Thank you for this vid. <3 :)

  • Absolutely one of the greatest songs period, and I needed to hear it this morning. This insightful and intellectual band has always made me think just as much as they allow me to feel - which makes it a completely emotional experience to listen to and lose myself in their music. The Moody Blues give so much to us because they intuitively give so much of themselves in their work. Bless them all...

  • The Last original intelligent rock-n-roll music and group of musicians and wordsmiths that created all this wondrous music that isn't afraid to ponder the the really big questions-the only questions that matter-I think-therefore I Am....At Least, I think I must be...magnetic ink...hahaha=excellent

  • btw HOW WAS THIS NOT A #1 CHART TOPPING DISNEY BALLAD BACK IN THE HEYDAY OF DISNEY'S LOVE SONGS? It should have been perfect.

  • I can just see how much passion this song draws from them. Great artists.

  • I want John's bass.

  • CLASS! CLASS! CLASS!

  • Straordinaria canzone che tutti dovrebbero conoscere.Quanti hanno attinto a piene mani anzi a pieni orecchi dalla loro arte.Troppi. Questa song è un capolavoro che qui in Italia pochi conoscono. Peccato.Grandi Moodies, veri e sinceri musicisti come pochi al mondo.

  • this band rocks each and every one of them should be in the hall of fame nuff said!!

  • This song brings down the house every time I see the Moodies. It's a great performance.  I can't remember the second drummer's name, but I would really like to see a video isolating on him while he's going ape on the cymbals.

  • My personal opinion, it is far better without the orchestral support.

  • The three people who voted "dislike" are strange.

  • What's not to love about this song?

  • Remember this as my summer song over and over....in Dallas. Now that I hear it again, the same feelings are there!...So dramatic!

  • 3 people must think that like and dislike are the same thing, 'cause for this song, the word "dislike" doesn't appear in my vocabulary.

  • Brilliant!!!!!!!!!

  • Saw the MB for the fourth time last night here in OK. The flute portion of this song was very, very admirably done by Norda Mullen, who apparently has been with the group since ailing Ray Thomas had to medically retire due to gout in 2002. She did an absolutely splendid job with this and Nites in White Satin. She had big shoes to fill and she did a marvelous job, no disrespect to Ray at all - she, he and Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull - among the BEST on a flute in all of rock, INHO.

  • Jana, Niki and Sara......this one's for you. Love you!

  • Timeless, wow, spiritual, magic and full of love...Moody Blues are forever!!!!!!

  • MINUNAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

  • MINUNAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • What can I say about the Moody Blues? Timeless music, the energy of their compositions are spiritual and lift me to levels away from this earth. I have been to countless concerts...on this tour I witnessed their marvel and mystique three times. I am honored to be in their presence and if I ever could choose a place to cross over to the other side, it would be during the magic of the music of this gift from heaven.--Moodies Fan since 1974-Montreal Forum

  • I love these guys. they are my heroes!!!

  • Outstanding - thank-you!

  • :::::le sigh:::: I miss my babe. Lost her so long ago, and now she has just lost her 3rd husband to cancer. Now I mourn for not only for losing her, but the pain she feels now from the most unkindest cut of all from life, well, indeed, how do I put it into words that express what I feel for her... I wish I could of been the one to die in her arms... so she could have one more day with him. That's this song to my heart.

  • @iamthewabbit1 sounds like yer talking about me...but there's no one left to say it :-/

  • @iamthewabbit1 sounds like you're talking about me...but there's no one left who could say it :-/

  • @babsinjrzy The fragility of life is a current of tears both good and bad, guiding us with unseen hands. Maybe those hands guided your eyes to see that so that you'll know that you do not walk alone either.

  • @iamthewabbit1

    Lost the love of my life after 25 years marriage, when she just dumped me. I'd give the world to have her back!

  • @iamthewabbit1 What an excellent comment! The way love should be. Perhaps the best love is a love we can release. Godspeed friend!

  • @iamthewabbit1 been cruising the internet for about twenty years and that is the most beautiful thing I have ever read. Let me wipe my eyes before I give you a big cyber-hug, wabbit.....

  • @Rainking1956 Thank you very much.

  • @iamthewabbit1 You, sir, have discovered the meaning of love.

  • Cannot put into words how I feel when I listen to this song. Not back then, not now...

  • Starting off in the 60s, The Moody Blues music evolved to the point where a full orchestra enhanced it tremendously. This group has been one of my absolute favorites for almost 50 years.

  • I do not think there is much Music out there than can inspire such passion and dreams as these Gentlemen.I grew up surrounded by this Music and I count myself privileged.

  • top five group of all time - no doubt-- i first heard them in the mud in nam so excluding the music the brothers taught us whites to like , temps, harold melvin, spinners etc we shared this with them and found out we were all one

    so excluding the black allstar lineup its, QUEEN, BEATLES, MOODY BLUES, STONES AND ZEPPELIN i sat in first row in saratoga springs ny in 1992 and carly simon was sitting next to me. cause her song about the guy flying to the races in saratoga was big then, geniues

  • they improved with age and in their looks too! ;p/

  • This makes me want to pull out my old copy of "The Seventh Sojourn" and give it a spin. These guys have terrific staying power, still turning out the crowds roughly 40 years downwind of their prime time.

  • this song gives me chills every time i listen to it

  • I watch this video and many other Moodies regularly. I love the music and the concepts. I'm 60 and my wife has passed, I think of her because our life was founded on the principles in the stuff these guys did. I haven't seen them in person and won't, even though they are in my town in a month or so. I miss her. I thank them for the fond memories I have when I listen to their work. These guys played a part in changing my life before I met the woman whose arms I'd like to be in once again. Peace

  • @firstpriorities1 All I can say is, if you do have the chance to see them live, particularly if they are backed by a full orchestra, you should not miss the opportunity. It will be a day that will shine in your memories, even if your beloved is not there with you.

  • This is sheer magic! Watching these videos,I am transported to the past when I first heard the audio perfection of the Moody Blues! This concert must have been an evening to remember for eternity! The voices, the orchestral harmonies, the entire arrangement is classical majesty!

  • bloody fantastic and I'm a George Harrison fan.

  • @idle44 Justin and George are right up there spiritually ....singing their hearts and souls for all to see. It will be sad when our Justin can't be with us...

  • love these guys to death...very smart...and the best

  • I seen the Moody Blues three times,could see them 100 more times and it would be as great as the first time.......The Moody Blues are the best.

  • Superb!

  • I'm sitting here Cry, Cry, Crying while hearing this

    Magnificent Song! Thank You

  • wow, i have this on my list of songs to be played at my funeral.

  • i want this song played at my funeral

  • You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry .

  • Can't you just feel the love, these guys put into their music?!

  • love love love

  • Beautiful Music... Thanks you...

  • Beautiful performance of a beutiful song!

  • Amazing song!!!!!!

  • Thanks for posting this.

  • I adore this song, always have and many years on it can still make me cry! I love Justin Hayward, I want him! :-) ♥ (-:

  • Love this song.

  • Love this group. RIght up there with the Beatles in my book. Have seen them in concert once and will never forget it. Om Namah Shivaya!

  • @fgbernard uP THERE WITH THE BEATLES? sURELY YOU JEST. tHEY'RE SO FAR ABOVE THE BEATLES, THEY SHINE.

  • @fgbernard UP THERE WITH THE BEATLES? SURELY YOU JEST. tHEY'RE SO FAR ABOVE THE BEATLES, THEY SHINE.

  • Love this group. RIght up there with the Beatles in my book.

  • @fgbernard They're not only UP there with the Beatles, they have surpassed them. They are still with us. They are performing TOGETHER for us. Sacrilege? Nope. Truth.

  • I watch this video every day a few times because i love this so much,

    great,great,great.

  • I've been trying for years to describe how I felt when i first heard the Moody blues. Lets just say its the closest thing to magic I found in this temporal realm. It was unique, special, touching, haunting. Today there is nothing like it - kids listen to motherf... and bitch and endless handclap hip hop/rap. Same old 'beat'. On their i-phones, no less.

  • Here is the first EMO band.

  • wonderful song by the best band of pop music with the beatles

  • This should survive the ages as well as Debussy's "Claire de Lune" or Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata." It's that lovely.

  • Great song! I'm going to their concert in April and I just bought their new calendar! Any fans should check it out at their website called moodybluestoday!
