I was fortunate enough to hear the Moodies perform this live at the Manchester College of Commerce. Far better than the Animals version. But then I am biased.
This song is my personal anthem...and this particular rendition is my favorite. I would love to hear the Moody Blues perform this song in concert again.
Justin can sure put a spin on a song - like velvet - Wow - at 1:19 to1:30 ! There's just something in his voice, ( He still has it.) How can he do that?
this is both good and awkward... the best is the flute after chorus.. just makes it so moody blues... now can u imagine eric burden singing nights in white satin?...
Wow, this is SOOOOO cool. I like hearing Justin's voice in this way. He makes this song seem less "down" and more sensual. Or maybe that's just the way Justin's voice is. Naturally sensual. :)
Thank you so much for posting this. The Moody Blues have kept me company in the throws of a broken heart, happiness & just been there with a never ending supply of greatness.
Just wonderful...!! I love these lyrics...I had them on my channel many moons ago....=)) Amazing performing....new one to me. Thanks as ever Mick.... I will pinch this on to my favorites and i am leaving you some Easter eggs instead of stars...=D
Awesome Mick! I have seen them twice in the last few years when they toured in the US. They are an Amazing band of talented musicians! One of my Favorites! There new stuff is just as good as the wonderful music of their past. That say's something about their talent! Their Christmas album is incredible! No one will ever match The Animals version of this song and I am sure the Moodies were not trying to. Thanks so much for posting this! I have never heard it before. Really Cool! Thanks!
@nipsterstang I never knew the MB's did this, not too bad, a credible job. Like you say, it's usually associated with the Animals, with the classic Eric Burdon vocals. I guess this was their early in between period, where they first inherited the blues mantle of the earlier version of the band with the departing Denny Laine. They definitely came of age with their first LP with Justin Hayward and John Lodge on Days of Future Passed, featuring Tuesday Afternoon and Nights in White Satin.
Never heard another version of this song, they did it good but Eric Burdons voice is overwhelming on this one, still like the Animal´s better, Thanks for the post! Mick
This is a great early Moody Blues...it's been years since I last heard it. I had forgotten they covered this fabulous song. Love the clips you used for the vid.
Ha ha,thanks for the non-existent stars and for the fave Rey,I'm pleased that you liked this old recording from the Moodies,they are my number one band !
Have a really great Easter weekend,don't eat too many Easter eggs ! lol
I must have missed something Mick! The Moodies....hm, sorry to say never heard about them before, only this one with The Animals. Which band was first? It was good anyway. Thanks!

Hi Maggan,this song was recorded first by Nina Simone in '64 and the Animals covered it in '65,it was a big hit for them !
I cannot believe you don't know the Moody Blues,they were formed in my hometown,Birmingham,around '63/'64 and had a no. 1 with "Go Now" in '65.
The song most people will associate with them is "Nights in White Satin" from '67,but it has been re-released several times !
Hope this helps you remember them,many thanks for viewing,,,,Mick :)))
