To be a Moody Blues fan is to be a voyager with them. You just can't help it. They take you away. I have seen them so many times and the music never gets old.
The Moody Blues have been with me from the very beginning. In 1967 I loved their words, voices and the hope and comfort they always seemed to bring. Their songs were my songs, some of the experiences they sang of I to had. Justin Hayward was and is a beautiful voice and a beautiful soul. I too am now in my 60's just like Justin, and I have thanked the Lord many a day tthat I could go along on this great adventure with him called life. I pray for many more years for this wonderful group.
OMG!! Always one of my all time favorite groups! Memories of Bloomington, Indiana and the good old college days at IU. Hard to grasp that that was 43 years ago. Thank you so much Frank!!!
Justin playing his beloved Gibson 335 which he refers to as "Red" and still plays in Moody's concerts till this day. Funny to see the guitars attached with chords to the amps, as nowadays they are more free to move around the stage. Love this vintage vid.
This is MY Justin heartthrob. Not Timberlake, not Bieber.....HAYWARD! He's now in his 60's and I'm in my 50's and my heart still beats for him. Sighhh!
Jesus, listen how well they recreate the sound live. This is a really complex song. Damn musicians were soooo much better then. I give Pinder a lot of credit as the annoying musical craftsman of the band. But no point arguing, just great music.
Oh yea, iediah! I agree. Heaven's, he's beautiful and I would love to touch touch that ruffled hair. He's still beautiful and his live performances have even gotten better. Is it weird that now that I'm an old hag, I feel kind of pervy when I see him this young and think about how hot he is here? I feel silly.
Does that organ-styled instrument create the sound of the "strings" that we hear? Is that like a synthesizer? And it creates all that "atmosphere" of sound, what sounds like violins and the like? Please educate me. Thanks.
Nothing digital about the mellotron. The instrument had hundreds of pre-recorded tapes to call upon for sound. Mike Pindar was the sales rep for mellotron who sold the Beatles the one they used for "Strawberry Fields Forever."
Why? I ask why, music today is nothing like Moody Blues, ELO, The Animals, The Turtles, Billy Vaughn, Herb Albert, The Kinks, (yes also everyone knows The Beatles and The Who, but bands that most have forgotten) and hunderds more for the 50s thru the mid 80s. I know so many songs, and instumental hits, that nobody has heard of. Sorry, this group is one of my favorites, and so powerful, that just hits me in my heart and soul.
Also, I was born around this time, and that is special.
These guys wrote great songs and produced awesome, soul stirring music. I think they are not recognized more because they are so hard to classify. It is senseless to compare them to "Rock" artists, their music is so much more advanced than most popular "rock" acts of the same time. The only band I would ever compare them to is the Beatles and I love them both.
The industry always tried to pigeon-hole them into a genre. R&R Hall of Fame people can't place them either, they are a category all their own. I remember first time I heard tunes from "Days" on radio way back when, I ran to record store and really didn't know where to find the album.... Not finding it in the rock section I did an embarrassing search thru the classical section, and since I heard "blues" in the name I searched the R&B section. After giving up I found them on the "try this!" rack
@absoluteauthority08 Yes... there seems to be a need to fit everyone into some kind of scheme, as opposed to "music most people like"... I've always thought it was odd how usually Joan Armatrading is put into R&B (you mean, all black people AREN'T soul singers?) and Lisa Stanfield in Rock (you mean, all white females, who aren't giving blow jobs to men like they should, AREN'T rock singers?)....
550,000 people have seen this? What else can you say? How many other bands have a 43 year old concert tape that over a half million people have watched? The world is full of smarter people than I thought. People with love in their hearts.
@alittlepale We must be half a million fools. The rock and Roll hall of Fame does not wis h to recognize their existence. They beleive John mellencamp, The Lovin Spoonful (its been 38 years since they charted) Run DMC and Gandmaster Flash deserved to be inducted in their first year of eligibility.
@DavelovesRealMusic I hear you, but you are no fool nor are the rest of us. Recognition for the band would be great, but they know how many fans they have and they just keep rocking on. Nothing can erase what they have accomplished nor the effect they have had on all those people. Fact is, I would prefer to know things that most don't...such as the secrets & delights of the Moodies.
Damn!! Justin is just too sexy here!! And his voice is just beautiful, so entrancing!! I have always loved The Moody Blues since i was a little girl!! Their music has totally shaped my life and touched my soul throughout these years!! What a phenomenal band they were!! Never be a time like this again. It was pure magic!! just magic!! The Moody Blues forever in our hearts!! <3
I saw the 2010 tour THE DAY WE MEET AGAIN about two months ago in Knox. Tn. and as always THE MOODY BLUES were perfect, this was my fourth concert, one when I was 14, the other three in the last five years. This is one of my favorite videos. Justin puts his heart and soul into it. He still does, so do John, Graeme, and the rest of the band. This video gives me chills, I call it MOODY BLUES MAGIC. When Justin sings he put his all into his music. There will never be another band like the MOODIES.
Hey there Justin Hayward fans. Catch Justin starring in The War of the Worlds Musical, the Jeff Wayne version live on stage! To celebrate the launch of the play why not check out the Official competition page where you can win some excellent prizes and even meet the Cast (That means Justin himself!)
Check out our Facebook Competition page for terms and conditions and rules of entry! Just Facebook search "The Martians Have Landed" and get started! Good Luck!
WOW ! FLASHBACK !! I feel as if I am 17 again and NOT 51 !! This is FANSTASTIC !!! It's as if I am a teen again in my bedroom blaring my stereo ! TY for posting this !!! It's gr8 !
@joakorush2112 it doesn't matter. it was simpler time, not so much mental clutter. plus the Brittish country-side provided all the inspiration one needed
These old black & white tapes of the Moodies playing live are priceless. Who would have thought that the Moodies would be capable of replicating this song live? It's quite an achievement.
To you twenty two, I and of course you are entitled to our collective own opinions.
But to be able to pull off such a complex arrangement, particularly in light of the technology of the time and give it a negative rating. Well it leaves me sort of speechless The only comment and its really a question I can think of is, whats in your collection
Justin is wonderful and the synthesizer/organ is great. I have the DTS 5.1 surround CD that I can only play on my DTS DVD player and it is called In Search of a Lost Chord, which includes this song.
Mustaches aren't popular these days and I don't care,but for those who still think they're cool, Mike Pinder's stash (keyboards) is a work of art .Missed Mike and Ray last night but the Moodies were still fantastic and magical.
This was preparation for those of us able to catch the 'wave,' hold within our hearts what we learned, were shown, so that in the coming years we could be lights, not sad bitter people. This too shall pass.
This was music to open the mind and the heart and the soul and evolve with. But instead of evolving into a world where everyone has compassion for one another we have evolved into the fracticious world of Lady Ga Ga where everyone is fucking each other over and killing one another. Check please!
Mezmorizing song. I have to listen to it a lot. I love the trance it puts me in. Justin's voice is magical. And he looks as sexy as can be here. He's so attractive always. :)
This is the oldest video footage of the Moody Blues that I have come across. Priceless! The quality is fantastic. I was born in 1960 so I caught the tail end of the 60's era. That is probably the only part of getting old that was worth it...the 60's and early 70's music. Unfortunately, the younger crowd missed not only great music, they missed the passion, creativity and sheer brilliance of that generation (which I regret is gone forever).
This is an amazing song. This was way before my time I was born in'94. I love 60s and 70s music. Sometimes I throw in a little 80s. What a great time period to live in. I hate modern time and last decade. Maybe if I die God will let me experience the 60s and 70s. I wish I could go in a time machine or something.
@FanLedZeppelin I was born in 1990 and I have the same kind of mindset, but you just gotta hope that music today will turn around. I'm a musician myself, and I write songs in a classic rock style. Of course, nothing will compare to the music and culture and spirit of that time, but there's still hope
@RedSiberianBluesman Yeah. I mean if someone were to pick up jimi hendrix's guitar or some other rock god's guitar and start playing the exact same way it still wouldn't sound the same. Magic?
omg,... this vid and song brings back so many memories. I use to go tubing on Tuesday afternoons with a dear friend, this was our song. Thank you Moody Blues for so many memories! Love you all!!!
How the heck can he see with his hair in his eyes like that. Great video. And yes, the Rock and Roll Hall of Shame is a joke. These guys were the first to ever record the mellotron, and record a rock-opera. With their incredible catalog, it's ludicrous that hey're not in the Hall of Fame. Shame!
The Hall of Fame is corporate bullshit anyhow. Its the old boys club collectively jerking each other off telling each other how great they are. Also induction is a mechanism to markedly increases sales and therefore $ of the inductees and their labels. Hmmm Record Corporations would never take advantage of that of course; its all about the music to them after all right?...right...
The real Fame is the work period. Don't need a committee to sanctify that.
Because the RRHoF committee is made up of a bunch or pigs who want only commercialism and not quality in there. The Moodies are LONG overdue for this recognition, but no one will stand up for them. No one in higher places. The 60's defined sooooo much of what is still the best music ever heard in R & R, but you would be surprised who ISNT in there yet.
This is my favorite Moody Blues video so far. I'm still discovering them. :) Justin looks so...perfect here. So gorgeous. And what a voice, gives me permanant chills.
I'm a 'moodie's fan too, although I didn't really discover them until their second time around with 'Your Wildest Dreams'....Now I see what I was missing !
In 1966 I lived in a small town in Northern Alberta. The local hangout had a juke-box that offered 3 songs for 25 cents. Every day I would play this song 3 times in a row. The first time I had a chance to see them sing it live in 1978 I had tears in my eyes. Thanks for posting
Justin Hayward is 63 this year,having been born in 1946 according to the band's website..and yes he still looks pretty good for his age and he can still sing too!! His songs are timeless.
Hermosa Beach, 1973-ish; drinking jug wine & herbal relaxation, at a friends pad on 3rd St and the Strand (on the beach) this music made it ethereal - wow, such good memories - like those days were never going to end . . .
Listening to just a few frames of this, it's clear that this is one of the greatest bands of all time. So many different sounds, textures and emotions are combined into this sound. When I saw them in '83, the DJ introduced them as "one of the few bands you can truly call legendary." Enough said.
He seems a little tweaky and rushing it at first... but man. what an awesome mood this song evokes for me, every time. This is one song I should be sick of (I worked in "Classic Rock" radio for decades), but I still just love it.
I think Hayward has always been able to look into the future...just knows one step ahead of us....and what a beauty he still is. Lovely, haunting, beautiful band...forever, no matter when the earth ends.
Sharon, I believe you're referring to the flautist. If so, that's Ray Thomas, not Mike Pinder. Pinder is the excellent keyboardist. Strong performances all around on this one.
Hi. was just joking - put the comment there to c what response I would get. Sorry to have upset you. And yes, I love the Moody Blues. Justin Hayward was, is and shall remain one of the greatest musicians that ever lived. God bless.
just watched justin and ian anderson in "nights" at Canterbury. awesome...moodybluesattitude.

This is an amazing song. This was way before my time I was born in'94. I love 60s and 70s music. Sometimes I throw in a little 80s. What a great time period to live in. I hate modern time and last decade. Maybe if I die God will let me experience the 60s and 70s. I wish I could go in a time machine or something.

@FanLedZeppelin I was born in 1990 and I have the same kind of mindset, but you just gotta hope that music today will turn around. I'm a musician myself, and I write songs in a classic rock style. Of course, nothing will compare to the music and culture and spirit of that time, but there's still hope

@RedSiberianBluesman Yeah. I mean if someone were to pick up jimi hendrix's guitar or some other rock god's guitar and start playing the exact same way it still wouldn't sound the same. Magic?

How the heck can he see with his hair in his eyes like that. Great video. And yes, the Rock and Roll Hall of Shame is a joke. These guys were the first to ever record the mellotron, and record a rock-opera. With their incredible catalog, it's ludicrous that hey're not in the Hall of Fame. Shame!

The Hall of Fame is corporate bullshit anyhow. Its the old boys club collectively jerking each other off telling each other how great they are. Also induction is a mechanism to markedly increases sales and therefore $ of the inductees and their labels. Hmmm Record Corporations would never take advantage of that of course; its all about the music to them after all right?...right...
The real Fame is the work period. Don't need a committee to sanctify that.

Why are they not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame????
whiskersdog77 2 years ago
Because the RRHoF committee is made up of a bunch or pigs who want only commercialism and not quality in there. The Moodies are LONG overdue for this recognition, but no one will stand up for them. No one in higher places. The 60's defined sooooo much of what is still the best music ever heard in R & R, but you would be surprised who ISNT in there yet.

i hate my mother. she heard any track she liked 30 times in a row in earlier times. maybe she is still doing the same ...
when you are a kid you learn to hate all these tracks, especially if the volume couldn't give you a chance to escape in any way.
this was one of these hate-tracks, and - a miracle or something like that has come and let me give peace with it.
a really beautiful song - i like it now.

II was Moodys fan till Denny Layne quit. Alwasy thought he was heart and soul of the band and they never quite matched Go Now.

In 1966 I lived in a small town in Northern Alberta. The local hangout had a juke-box that offered 3 songs for 25 cents. Every day I would play this song 3 times in a row. The first time I had a chance to see them sing it live in 1978 I had tears in my eyes. Thanks for posting

Hermosa Beach, 1973-ish; drinking jug wine & herbal relaxation, at a friends pad on 3rd St and the Strand (on the beach) this music made it ethereal - wow, such good memories - like those days were never going to end . . .

Listening to just a few frames of this, it's clear that this is one of the greatest bands of all time. So many different sounds, textures and emotions are combined into this sound. When I saw them in '83, the DJ introduced them as "one of the few bands you can truly call legendary." Enough said.
flash7725 2 years ago 3
I don't know about the rest of you but I think that there is no other sound like that of the Moodies in the late '70's. Dream-like and haunting....

Justin is a genius - a master-composer as well as a unique performer with a voice that sends shivers up the spine.

He seems a little tweaky and rushing it at first... but man. what an awesome mood this song evokes for me, every time. This is one song I should be sick of (I worked in "Classic Rock" radio for decades), but I still just love it.

Sharon, I believe you're referring to the flautist. If so, that's Ray Thomas, not Mike Pinder. Pinder is the excellent keyboardist. Strong performances all around on this one.
