  • I'm going to see the show next Wednesday and i can't wait. Been a fan of War of the Worlds since my Dad used to put it on the record player some 25 odd years ago. I can't wait to see it. And your right Rockape 560, the film was crap compared to what it should have been.

  • @firemanshrek Gutted, I didnt know it was touring, and your a lucky guy..all my dad played was Mario Lanza and Jim Reeves!! I was the lad upstairs with his own copy of WOTW and a set of headphones, chrs for making me feel old! LOL

  • I watched the live show at the Newcastle Arena last night, it was truly brilliant :-D

    Hayward was on top form but particular praise must go to Jason Donovan who played the artillerymen brilliantly!

  • I DID NOT REALISE JUSTIN STILL TOURED WITH THIS AND PERFORMED LIVE, I AM GUTTED I CANNOT GO TO THIS YEAR'S TOUR NOW!

  • @TomGreenUK you are a nut

  • to the 20 dislikes, them people have no sense in what music is all about

  • Just saw this show in Belfast. It was an excellent production and great to hear the wonderful Justin Hayward sing live. Great show all round with a 30 ft Martian machine centre stage that shot flames towards the audience. I could feel the heat and I was sitting at the back of the hall.

  • @LaleMI6 i was at it too, me and my girlfriend had a great time, she had introduced it to me briefly a month or so ago, seeing the whole thing live was mind blowing. Justin Hayward has one of greatest voices iv heard.

  • cruise and spelberg missed the boat with their version....if they had kept to the orginal and music they would have had a monster hit on their hands

  • Timeless Classic.....beautiful voice of Justin Hayward......and amazing narration from Richard Burton.....just love it....!!!!

  • i recall this song it was a hit my juniorr year

  • so what's the deal with this dvd region stuff? I live in the US and I WANT this !!!! I bought the lp, yes, the lp, many years ago and was wildly impressed. GREAT STUFF!!!!!

  • The singer, Justin Hayward isn't it?

  • @NytCreeture

    Yes, he is. Yesterday in the Heineken Music Hall, he performed brilliant in the Musical version.

  • going to see this in Dublin i in the O2 on Monday. IT'S GOING TO BE FRICKIN' EPIC!!! That is.. if the country doesn't collapse in on itself before then :/

  • @mrronocon I can confidently say Mrtins didn't land and kill us all. I live in the UK

  • @Martianelder That supposed to say MARTIANS not Mrtins

  • Justin Hayward sounds better live then he does on the cd, and i dont think anyone else can carry it off, and im seeing him live in Cardiff

  • Brill...!!!!

  • bloody fantastic, long live jeff wayne and justin hayward!!

  • Justin Hayward is one of the worlds best vocalist. WHY ARE THE MOODY BLUES NOT IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME? Someone.. please answer that question. Not only a great voice but he has written some of the best lyrics ever. I mean really... "A gentle rain falls gently on my weary eyes, as if to hide a lonely tear" Picturesque and beautiful. You rock Justin!

  • Flipping fantastic,

  • Mashallah. Excellent.

  • Comment removed

  • Cause your not here...

  • The greatest rock ballard, no question... oh and Andrew Lloyd Webber, if you are wondering how a great work of fiction should be interpreted into a musical then look and listen on and weep.

  • wow! Justin Hayward still sounds sooooo awesome!!

  • @manabrau saw him last nite in cardiff still awesome war of the worlds 2010 tour

  • @M374EVL i'm so jealous!!

  • 18 dislikes? Haha fucking cretins

  • Oh how I wish I could have seen this live!

    I've been listening to War of the Worlds since I was a kid. :)

  • @HedwigGraymalk I saw it and it was amazing, if you ever get the chance I fully recommend it :o)

  • i can remeber watching this live at the echo it sent shivers down my neck and spine it was awesome best musical ever

  • What an amazing clip. I hadn't seen this before, encompassing so many facets of British talent and so many aspects of the English language. Prose from Wells spoken in Burton's unforgettable voice the poignancy of Wayne's lyrics, Haywood's magic and THAT band. What a pity it cuts out at the end.

  • @indiSaviKotte The lyrics of Forever Autumn are by Gary Osbourne and Paul Vigrass . Jeff Wayne wrote the music.

  • and incase you younger ppl are wondering about the singer....YES he sings live and if you buy or listen to the ORIGINAL ALBUM.......it is the original singer from 1978

  • @djjimmym  cheers pops!

  • @djjimmym went to see w.o.t.w. in newcastle at the arena ,justin haywood sounds exactly the same,,,,, and Jason Donovon was excellent as the arillaryman

  • @Lindanator09 Hey no spoilers!

  • @Martianelder I'll no more just enjoy !!

  • @Lindanator09 Thank you

  • @Lindanator09 Best thing I've ever seen!

  • @Lindanator09 not seen w.o.t.w live this year, but i beleive jason donovan does it justice, hope you enjoyed it

  • i like how they use the original artwork from the original vinyl up on the screens

  • Moody Blues THE best band ever! Long live Justin Hayward and the Moody Blues! I still have there 8 tracks.What ever happened to Julie Covington the real Beth?

  • Moody Blues THE best band ever! Long live Justin Hayward and the Moody Blues! I still have there 8 tracks.

  • so badly want to see this live jeff wayne is an amazing artist

  • I have seen this show and its awesome.

  • @ameliessong i think its cos its based in england, unlike that weird war of the worlds movie

  • Best show , ive seen it twice . hayward is amazing !

  • Moody Blues - the essence of the autumn!

  • Justin doesnt look right without his guitar.

  • Such beauty

  • most excellent song, mose excellent show.... Timeless..purely timeless

  • this song touches my heart.

  • thissong really touches my heart.

  • top show,saw the first ever live show....fantastic.....what a performance and the music was out of this world....pun intended

  • Justin loves this show of Jeff Wayne. Forever Autumn is not a Moody Blues song, although they sometimes sing it. Justin is perfect in this role and this

    song.  Jeff Wayne: I am angry with you that you are a New Yorker but won't tour The U.S. I told you at the official site and I will say it again. COME TO MEMPHIS WITH WOTC PLEASE

  • Rich,,,,,, No he isnt miming. I saw it live.

  • @fuzzrrr the singers are obviously miming you can see this easily,as for the rest of it is mimed as well it is identical with the album except the actors have sung their own parts but this has been added to the recording,you can see it all in the videos

  • @jokinaroun100 You are talking out of your ass m8. Have you seen one of these LIVE shows before? I have and it's not mimed by actor or musician. The band use a gizmo that plays in the background on a delay so if there is a problem like a string breaking or an instrument failing it cuts in and plays the part immediatly while they fix the problem.

  • @Dementure1 the only person speaking out of there ass is you,you don't like somes opinion ok but don't start acting like a bitch about it

  • One of the best love songs ever made!

  • is he miming?

  • wow, his voice still sounds great

  • If the Martians could now see what the earth has become, They'd probably say "Fuck it lads, they've got enough problems without us invading their shit!"

  • slik fred i bergen by

  • aksjon...

  • ......Thanks For Sharing The Journey........ Justin You "re Like The Sun Through The Trees.......

  • R.I.P. Phil Lynott.

  • Justin Hayward rocks!!!!!!!!

  • Always loved the songs and the ORIGINAL FILM!! remake is not even half as good!! Song has meant more since my dog died in the Autumn, and silly things like we liked to kiick the leaves along the way, dogs love that! Great songs like this can mean a lot to so many people in so many different ways.

  • I think this is one of Justin's finest. Keep it up dude!

  • Simply beautiful.

  • This is just brilliant!!

  • one of the best musicals to ever be produced! 

  • Amazing - I loved this album, know every word and note by heart. I really REALLY wish they hadn't done the CGI of Richard Burton though - aside from being completely awful, it was just unnecessary. Having the voice would have been more than enough.

  • yup, I'm booking to go and see this!

  • This moves me to tears. sheer unutterable genious.

  • I just heard this on the radio. Epic shit!

  • A great song, performed by the best R&R singer ever. 

    When will Jeff Wayne bring this show to the USA?

  • Going to see this at the O2 in december *nods* (Y) :D lol

  • I love this band!

  • @planetjanet2 hardly a band... more like an orchestra which probably changes around quite a lot :) needless to say war of the worlds is still incredible and love to go see it this year when it comes to the UK again :)

  • Great scenic presence, great sound, great background images, great atmosphere, great show!!!

    Definitely British high quality :)

  • My favourite tune of all time, beautifully sung, my respects to you Justin.

  • calidad del helado este video muy bueno

  • ......A Legend .....Having..... Fun

  • I'm not against cover versions - I often prefer the cover to original - but this is one song that I think no one else could/should ever sing. I honestly believe I would probably laugh if I ever heard anyone else attempt this. It seems to me to be the most perfect marriage of artist and material.

    This song IS Justin Hayward

  • @claimguy Original version by Justin Hayward ? Wrong. Jeff Wayne wrote the melody in 1969 for a Lego advert ! Gary Osbourne & Paul Vigrass wrote the jingle words but later they added the lyrics to the song and included it on their 1972 album `Queues` and released it as a single in Japan where it became a top 20 hit selling 100,000 copies.

    So I guess what you meant to say is you like Justin Hayward`s 1978 cover version

  • @muthafunster Regarding your comment `nobody likes a smart arse ` all i can say is dont put yourself down.

  • @45rpmSINGLES I didn't say that Justin's version was the original. It's not a contest, is it? If anyone else tries this song after Justin's rendering, I think they are in for a critical shellacking. Of course, I don't think anyone will - that was my point.

  • @claimguy His version is the original, he was the singer on the original album.

    as was the Voice of Man and atleast half the orchestra in this remaster.

    this musical should've made a Hall Of Fame style list somewhere :)

    It's an awesome piece of music from the Eve of the War to the final radio call to Nasa, and a chilling possibility of what could happen. It's also timeless in it's appeal.

  • @claimguy Forgot to say - the original version is on youtube by `Vigrass & Osbourne `

  • Justin Hayward is amazing. He sounds as good as he did 30 years ago when this was recorded. What a class act!

  • muy interesante!!!!

  • great tune and a great show

  • what a tune

  • saw it live and it really was fabulous- especially this song. he is a legend

  • As a heavy metal fan, this is prob the best Ballard I have ever heard! No one else but Justin Haywood could ever deliver the sound to the lyrics like he has Forever Autumn!

  • @Ieysha1963 can't agree more!

  • @Ieysha1963 It's Justin HayWARD.

    Idiot.

  • wow!!! i listened to this album stoned!! in the 90,s ALSOME!!!!!!

  • Bloody Awesome, what a legend!!!

  • I remember when the album came out.....it is awesome!!

  • Isn't that Richard Burton at the beginning?

  • yes it is richard burton, as he was the man who played the journalist in the musical version of 'The War of the Worlds'

  • Amazing - saw this live in Glasgow last year.

  • This is Amazing :-)

  • One of the Most Beautiful Songs Recorded.

  • Have you notice that is left arm is longer then the right one ?

  • I will always love this version of world of the worlds or the book better then the newer movie version!

  • brencrow...my god! the hardest of times for you! and my heartfelt wishes go out to you! this song is just brilliant....and your song! I can not claim to know how you feel hun, but all of my wishes for your future happiness, I send to you!

  • Justin has wrote many songs, google them and you will see that he writes very beautiful songs, and sings them like an angel. He might not have wrote this one, but no one could have covered it like he did. It remains my most favorite song ever. And now that I lost my husband in fall, it will be special for me forever.

  • Let me see...the Moody Blues did not write this song. Jeff Wayne did.

  • LOL you are sad. Who says gut really ?

    Go away old man.

  • pure musik.....pure mind.

  • Absolutely brilliant . A timeless classic

  • auto, listen to the older Moody blues songs and get back with us. Not the top 40 .

  • Forever Autumn is one of the best pieces of music ever written - FACT!

  • Cant stand "the Moody Blues" own music but boy oh boy, Justin Hayward nailed this one......

  • What the fuck do you know about music

  • great work by Jeff Lynn and lets never forget the great voice of Richard Burton

  • @autopilotflight not moody blues fan either , but this song is beautiful and justin hayward is brilliant

  • The song & Justin Hayward....Just too good. Take a bow.

  • Theres nobody like Moody Blues in todays music. They are just amazing.

    Dj

  • @KingKrunkmungas You are right, quantity will never replace quality, ever. The junk they turn out today, one or two exceptions here and there, is just mass produced garbage. It's all about the Money now. GREED personified !

  • @MRAMX390

    I know. I'm sick of it, its just...sad. Money determines the music of today. And that will never change..its like we've lost true music forever. With exceptions of Enigma some of Coldplay and few other bands and of course Myself! :D

    DJ

  • Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I went to the Irish leg of Jeff Wayne's 'The War of the Worlds' tour at the 02 in Dublin last year. It was very good, but there was a technical glitch at the start but to be honest it was really very small considering the size of the production as a whole.

    I love this song, it's a great piece of music the way it flows along so effortlessly

  • i love Jeff Wayne - War of the worlds album, i am 22 and i have it, amazing stuff!

  • Magnficent!

  • What a classic! Brilliant, from a great long living group of musos. The great Moody Blues.

  • @spindrifter2 Exactly, one of the greatest groups of talented musicians of all time. I put ELO and many of the 60's, 70's and 80's groups in this category. Every group or individual artist today, and I use the term artist very loosely, has very little if any true talent. It's all about the money !

  • And after all these years they are still music for body mind and soul! Want to add Pink Floyd and Alan Parsons projekt among these great musicians

  • It's amazing that after so many years it was so perfectly played :)

  • Brilliant!!!!

  • at the very beginning, watch the cool face. its eyebrows are gettin a lot of exercise there! great song, though.

  • Burton did it so well on stage because at the filming he was dead. Carrie is Jeff Wayne's daughter.

  • a boat out of england! how true that is now

  • The summer sun is fading as the year grows old and darker days are drawing near

  • I named my son after you Justin, Thanks for a lifetime of music!

  • Thank you so much for sharing.

    This is a classic with a classic singer.

    Burton does a great job as always also.

    Jeff Wayne is super as well.

  • Such a wonderfull song and lyrics. Justin Hayward has a great voice

  • thats the moody blues on stage singer that is
