  • Thank god The Curtain has stayed risen on this Scene !!

  • what an incredible songwriter and singer! the actor is one of my faves ever....and isn t he the cutest thing ?;-)

  • Obama 2012, Richardson - Oklahoma 2014, Trump 2016

  • . . . sigh . . .

  • A few years ago I had a treat in life-one of many courtesy of the Moodies. I was with my daughter at a Moodies concert and Justin picked up his old guitar, sat on a stool and played this song, just for me. I had tears streaming down my face. My daughter was brought up on this music, and I suspect her children will be as well. Part of the soundtrack of my life, and hers as well.

  • it's such a rainy afternoon here, good for some FB housekeeping and wishing Justin would do more solo touring like this... hope springs eternal!

  • This is my all time Moody Blues favorite! Thanks for the recording!

  • I just can't think of any other singer whose voice makes my heart ache as much as Justin. I never, ever will get tired of listening to him.

  • keep the faith...Got to love the moodies...

  • the moodies have been a mainstay in my life for so long ,,

  • .......The Only Truth We Know.....A Sentiment The Moodys ....Touch our Hearts With.....

  • This band can evoke a mood like nobody else.

  • one of the moody,s best .great to hear ,,the sound in your hello"ahhhh magic!!

  • this is good, but I wish they had had a real flautist playing.

  • Justin still has it!! He is still the most beautiful and gentle soul as he ever was and what a truly gifted and gorgeous man!! His voice is just beautiful!! It just reaches deep into the depth of your soul!! Oh how I love him!! Pure beauty in every sense!! ILY Justin!! ♥♥

  • this is great ty

  • I love Justin Hayward and the Moody Blues. Their music makes me feel young again!

  • I was there! This is the ultimate!  Jay

  • Great song/performance from a great band--- a must have Moody LP! -- From all the comments from all the Moody videos on youtube it is obvious that so many millions appreciate the impact tthis group has had on their lives-- They are truly special -- I knew that at the time-- Thanks for the video!!

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

  • I still can't believe I was at this concert when I was six years old. And still even crazier is that I MET Justin after the concert. I still have the concert ticket he autographed for me that night!

  • I love his music. It helps me through the tough times, like now.  Thanks Justin.

  • His voice sounds younger than his age. He sings smooth and mellow.

  • @MoodyGirl67 You agree with me? I have just fallen in LOVE! Where were you all my life?

  • @gort451 stalker alert! lol

  • My two favorite bands will always be The Beatles and The Moody Blues.. No need to compare... But what an injustice that the Moodies are still not inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame ~

  • This is one of my favorites from this performance.

  • I am curious about the banter regarding the Moodies and the Beatles. Let's just give each band their due. The Beatles undoubtedly altered the course of rock. But the Moodies as well as their peers such as Zep, The Kinks and The Who all influenced the course of rock as well. In fact, the Moodies, Pinder in particular, turned the Beatles on to the use of the Mellotron (Strawberry Fields for example).

  • I was fortunate to get to see Justin's solo performance at the Supper Club in Manhattan. I have to say, the New York crowd was much more lively and on top of that, we knew all the lyrics and sang with him a good portion of the time. And we sounded good too. Too bad that particular night was not recorded.

  • Justin Hayward is undoubtedly one of England's best songwriters.

  • @greetingseartlhings don't forget Lodge - He has wriiten many of the great Moody songs as well

  • If you seriously study their musical evolution.....These guys are as good as the Beatles ever were !

  • don't get carried away dude...you are talking about the Beatles.

  • This song is so good. Whether Justin sings it alone or with The Moody Blues, it is one of the best songs he has written.

    'you're almost part of me..'

  • Moodies far more talented than beatles

  • check the songwriting credits on most of the Moody Blues biggest hits. Except for "I'm Just a Singer in a rock and roll Band", Hayward wrote all the rest.

  • When the Moodies sang this in concert a few years back, I had tears in my eyes.. You see, this has always been one of my favourites, and to have the opportunity to actually see them sing it, it meant a great deal to me. Sincere thanks

  • Mile Pinder Ray Thomas Graeme Edge, John Lodge & Justin are the real Moody Blues. It was not and never should have been a one man band.

  • This just happens to be a gig Justin did-not claiming to be the moodies.

  • This song is just one of the reasons that people LOVE Justin Hayward(& the Moodies,of course!) What a talent!! I believe that decades from now people will still be enthralled by this one song,great art is always timeless...,

  • justin is the moody blues.

  • I agree

  • no way

  • i liked it better when he sang this with the moodies

  • .....WOW.... A Timeless Musical Masterpiece.....Justin Extraordinaire....

  • This song would be a good measure of how good a singer is in those Pop Idol competitions.

    By the way, Hayward is now speaking with some kind of west country/mid Atlantic accent but he should speak with a brummie accent

  • Why would Justin speak with a Brummie accent? He was born and bred in the west country--Swindon to be exact. It was only the rest of group that was from Birmingham.

  • I stand corrected. I didn't know he was from Swindon

  • My so favourite Justin song. After seeing this, I just had to buy the DVD. Thanks Redbaron for making me aware of this great DVD. :)

  • One of my favorite moodys songs.Justins voice is still amazing.thanks red baron for the post

  • I remember the Moodys since 68 when they would do their shit on national tv. You slags think you know what mtv is? No. You do not. You were still stil sucking on nipples when vids became has beens. 1980-81. Everyone thought MTV broke the glass ib music vids. Martha Quinn may have been cute and doable and all that, but MTV and Martha are not music pioneers. Both are coat tail riders.

  • give them hell boog

  • "The sound I have heard in your hello" never heard anyone put it so rightly, have been there!

  • Thank You !

  • This is my all time favourite Moodies song. When I discovered them in the fall of 1982, I played this song to death. So many memories come flooding back. I can still smell the interior of my first car when I hear this song.

    Thanks for posting this!!

  • It's a great song. The Moody Blues being very serious and wanting to sound like Scott Walker. Works Well.

  • Great DVD

  • I definitely think this is one of the Moodies best songs. I, too, played it on repeat over, and over and over after hearing it for the firs time.

    Keep rockin', Justin!

  • Justin My Dream....Justin Stay Forever....Legendary.....And..­... Sexy.....Justin My dream.... Justin Stay Forever.....

  • Lots of people love Justin but I think you would completely freak him out. YOU'VE GOT IT BAD!

  • One more thing... this performance itself, seeming so recent, is already ten years old!

    Where does the time go?

  • my time didn't go anywhere..it's still in my clock ticking away...but I have changed and the clock doesn't care...man, "isn't life strange?"...so i don't understand your question ??...just joking.

  • My buddy (songdogmi) and I have played this song for what?... about a quarter of a century now! This is an unbelievably good song. I remember the first day I heard it... and I picked up the needle (phonograph) and repeated it over and over again.

    Geeze, what a song.

  • Forget "Nights in White Satin", IMHO this is Justin's finest song.

  • On a Rockline radio interview a couple of months ago Justin said he does use YouTube to research music by other artists, but felt it would be "pointless" to view Moody clips, so you're right KevyRae, he probably will never see these posts. His bandmate John Lodge, however, says that he gets a kick out of seeing old Moody Blues clips on YouTube -- that sometimes he sees clips of performances he can't remember them doing!

  • If Justin actually does read this, which I doubt he does, you're totally freaking him out! I met Justin about 10 years ago.. He's very hunmble and appreciative of his fans... You, however, would frighten him!

  • Honey, you're really obsessed or something.

  • justin my dream..justin stay forever..on mount olympus the gods still recall..the storm.. on the day you let venus touch your voice ...in exchange for your guitar..justin my dream.. justin stay forever...mortal women are envious...the thunder and lightning..know and adorn you, your guitar and voice..justin my dream.. justin stay forever..your spirit lives in the mist...the stars sparkle as you move..justin my dream.. justin stay forever... sparkle for me...justin my dream ...justin stay forever

  • LOL!!!!

  • justin my dream...justin stay forever...your voice has cast a spell on the goddess venus... justin my dream... justin stay forever...on mount olympus...in secret you glide on the enchanted mist...justin my dream... justin stay forever...the mist will protect you... take your red guitar...drift back to earth... justin my dream...justin stay forever...mortal women need you more...justin my dream ...justin stay forever...

  • sorry for my first comment, honeystayforever, but I couldn't believe my eyes, I wanted to ask if I could have what you had:)), I don't want to offend you, but really, come back to earth :)

    peace [smile], gerda

  • yes that is a god in that pink shirt...disguised as just a singer in a rock and roll band...justin my dream...justin stay forever...zeus needs inspiration to create ... ...another galaxy... he will be calling...justin my dream...justin stay forever....

  • justin my dream

  • Wow, realy realy very nice to hear this one from Justin solo, it is hard to get this dvd in Holland, someone know`s it is out in Holland??

  • Thank you redbaron863 for posting this wonderful tune. It never get's airplay. I was so excited to see it here! Thanks.

  • Yes, the drummer really did a great job enhancing this song.. I still love the original, but this version has been added to my fave list!

  • One of the most beautifull songs ever, and a wonderfull performance!

  • 16 days to Waukegan!!!!

  • Just bought a tickets for the next october here in Finland. Hope to hear live this great song this time.

  • Have you ever seen Justin or the band live? I have twice here in the US, and both times they played The Actor. It is a beautiful song and they do it very well live.

    So, you're going in October? Possibly near Justin's birthday, the 14th? :-)

  • Moodies, 22.10. Just about 2 years ago saw them here in Finland.

  • Written from the heart and sung just as beautifully by Justin here; what a GEM!

    This is was a rare Treat! Love the Early songs!!

  • It was a pleasure to see this concert. Finially Justin singing his songs solo,sans my brother....I did NOT say that!

    justin You rock, LVX,Joy L.

  • This is a wonderful song. Very inviting. Such pleasant memories.

  • This beautiful song touches me like some many from 'In Search of the Lost Chord' and 'A Question of Balance.'

    My mother listened to the group when I was growing up, and the sound resonates with my soul to this very day.

  • Some words of a German: great music. I love the Moodies/Justin-songs since 1969, the LP "TOCCC". A fantastic album. I miss Mike Pinder, too, since many years. Ray Thomas, a good singer, but not a good flute-player. Norda Mullen is much better. I'm waiting of a new CD after STRANGE TIMES from 1999/2000, except "DECEMBER" from 2003. Bye, from Michael

  • Great video and song, from a legendary group, who practically became a religious experience for me!

  • simply a stunning piece of work.

  • Tabs and Bud. Need I say more.

  • I thank you Justin, John, Ray, and Mike and others for the 35 years of pleasure you have brought to my life...I love your music and have been a devotae since "NIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN" (1969)Your music has always been an inspiration to my life, and to millions you will always be more then "JUST A SINGER IN A ROCK'N ROLL BAND" (1970's)

    I LOVE 'BLUE JAYS!

    I remember tripping to this song and seeing 'colored rain'

    THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

  • I was fortunate to be in the audience at this San Juan Capistrano show with Justin Hayward. It was a great gig! "The Actor" in particular, always plays well. I once heard Justin and John Lodge play "The Actor" simply on two acoustic guitars and it was beautiful. The song is timeless...:-)

  • I love this song!!! This is songwriting at it's best, from the heart, such melody, such words that somehow seem to speak for us all...

  • I love these classic MB songs, they bring me back to a magical part of my life. They are timeless in their beauty and shall live on long after we've gone...

  • A most fantastik recording. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

  • houleyman:Norda, too! When this gig needed a flutist, the local college was called. She ws so nervous her 1st time, I comforted her by telling how gracious we fans are. The rest is history!

  • I wish I was there. It seems to be a perfect day when everything works well.

    The BEST performance alive EVER of Justin or any other Moodie.

    A MUST HAVE DVD and CD.

    I travell a lot listenning to this show.

  • I was there, too. I'm the woman with big white sleeves at Jus' feet.The acoustics were perfect. Jus was relaxed and intimate with the crowd. When he sang "Darlin', you're almost part of me" to my face, my life changed forever.

  • My fav Moody Blues song ever! Smooth, deep, profound...But this one needs a Mellotron!!!! MOODY BLUES! :-D

  • I was there! LIVE! The best concert that I have ever been to... Next lifetime, I want to be Justin... He so great! Thanks to Joe for teaching me this song back in '79.

  • he is so talented. My hero!!!!

  • i would like to watch Justin playing "The Land of Make Believe, one of my favorites of Moodies.( as "The Actor" )

  • Yes, Ok!

  • @redbaron863 do you think you might post Forever Autumn from this concert for me? I was there. Sitting at the feet of Paul Bliss, just to his right. It's my all time favorite Justin tune. Thanks!

  • You should re-title this appropriately - it is not the Moody Blues but rather Justin Hayward solo.

  • Justin never ceases to ammaze the audiance. I don't think there is anything I don't like or love about Justin or the MoodyBlues as a hole. Hope they are around for ever.

  • It looks like Paul Bliss playing the keys and Gordon Marshall play'n the drums...I guess that's how they got the job in the current concerts.

  • I have played this song at coffe shops before, it is one of the better ones... what am I saying, all of their songs are good

  • This man has written so many haunting melodies. The Moodies are in their own genre'.

  • thanks! if i read your header i guess i would have known!

  • is this justin solo or moodies?

  • DVD "Justin live in San Juan Capistrano" See his internet page.

  • Great video, great song! I wish the Moodies would do more stuff like this in concert.

  • I drove all the way to Akron OH from Pgh to see this band and hear this song there in 2002.

  • isnt this justin only? thanks for posting!

  • I would love to see more from this dvd! It's Great :)
