The Moody Blues are tops, and why they aren't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is baffling to me. I notice that the mic's are masking taped to the mic stands, pre gaff tape era it was. ;)
Umm, what is he singing at 1:55? It should be Tuesday afternoon but it sounds like "Something I Have no Clue." It isn't the typical line in the song is it?
@artisallthat The title of the song is tuesday afternoon not afternoons the lyric is supposed to be "something calls to me'" thats what happens when you take LSD on stage
@spacepatrolman He was supposed to sing Tuesday afternoon twice at that point. Whatever he was saying, it ended up sounding like "noon" at the last. He could have been fudging or like @conifergreen2 said, Sunday afternoon. Plenty of singers forget lines and try to make it sound like they didn't. He still sounds fine....
@artisallthat i listened to it again it sounds like he was singing sunday afternoon because like the other guy said it was sunday the moody blues were supposed to play the woodstock festival but they were no where near there procal harum should have played they lived in new york state then
i m a 60 yr old grandma and play a little piano and sing a little. my nephew is a pretty good bass player and IMHO john lodge is an amazing bass player. underrated i would say. i ve been listening especially to him in many moodies songs and i find his one of the most beautiful and melodic creative bassline i have ever enjoyed. fantastic band. all of them.
Back then, what you saw is what you got, no sophisticed electronics to enhance your voice or intsruments. Wonder how many bands or singers nowdays could have cut it back then???
The Rock and Roll hall of fame is so clueless and so full of themselves it is hard to think of them without getting sick to my stomach. Their snub of the Moody Blues is as good of example as any. I laugh at these critics and the industry. They think they are sooo cool and important. The Moody Blues have composed so many beautiful songs I don't know where to begin. I am just grateful I was given the experience. The big world is too in love with themselves to see it or hear it.
@Tuy19299 Not to mention the snubbing of ELO, King Crimson and Rush. I will never take them seriously until they're all in. Hell it even took Pink Floyd what 7 years to get in? They're a complete joke, and this is coming from someone who lives in Cleveland.
@Tuy19299 They will never get 1 penny of my money, they put it in a great place too, Fucking Cleveland Ohio, The Moody Blues could give a toss i reckon if they r in or not.
this band is truly great live in their day. I saw them around the mid 70's and I was ,well, sort of uh hum, well anyway the show was beyond my expectations. One of the best of my life.
My Favorite song of all time !! Thank you! I am a hard core fan of over 40 years. Oh how i wish i had been there! I did get to see this song close up in 2010, 3rd row in DC...One of the best moments of my life with my daughter,,,LOL born on a Tuesday!!!!
it s a track of days of future passed,not from threshold of a dream,this is a great performance live,where is this and can you buy it on dvd,please help me
If you like the lyrics to The Moody Blues songs then you may very well like KOZMIC DREAMERS whose artistic vision and expression, defines them as one of a kind. Buy one of the songs or poems on iTunes.
ye i know its off days of future past and i know that threshold was there third album i own them all and have tripped to them many of times, threshold future and lost chord are the best three albums to listen to trippin.i was just curious as to why it was released as threshold when it was at the isle of white.i watched the whole gig recently on sky arts with interviews with the band and it was called moody blues at the isle of white.thats all.i wasnt aware it had been released as threshold also.
@stevevegetable Threshold actually 4th or 5th depending on whether you count the initial album simply called "the moody blues" then days of F.P. then To our Children's Children, then Lost Chord then Threshold. Either that or Wikipedia is correct which has almost the same chronology, but i think they are mistaken Would have go down to the basement to check my old albums to say for sure.
@verbenco its the first moody blues album before justin hayward joined.then future passed then lost chord then threshold and then childrens children then question then every good boy then seventh sourjon then caught live plus five then octave then out of this world then long distance voyager then the present and so on.i just checked mine for you mate.and rechecked on the official moodies web site.thresh was the 3rd if you count the start when justin joined.or 4th if not.
@stevevegetable Thanks for saving me trip to basement. Truly it is not that i no longer listen to Moody Blues, but when my son, now 25 years old was about 4 years old he broke my last turntable. Who knew vinyl would come back? Now have everything i want on digital devices except "Question" Could go on about M.B for a long time, but for others I am afraid it would all be boring nostalgia.
@verbenco id love to talk about mb for ages.its nice to meet another good music lover.i wouldnt be without my records.much better sound than digital and i love the art work on the covers.something that the digi revolution have missed out on i think.theres something about holding a record and putting on a turntable and having to turn it over.it adds a physical element to the whole process of listening.so much better than pressing a button to a never ending list of tracks.
@stevevegetable Yes, made big mistake giving up on vinyl, but at least i saved the albums in a safe place in basement. when my wife and I are both retired, one of the first projects will be to revive the records. The good thing is that had we done it 20 years ago, turntables were difficult to get, now it will be duck soup. As for Moody Blues, in my Song for Cynthia - it is on youtube,- i tried to make the bridge Moody Bluesish. Other parts of song easier, but i only really like the bridge.

These guys are always fabulous, here on YouTube or live watching them myself. Two best concerts I have ever been at! Their one Greatest Hits compilation called "Legend of a Band", says it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love them since the 60's!
The Moody Blues are called one the pioneers of prog rock and ARE highly underated. I like them more than Rush, undeniably one of the most popular bands in the world, not to say I don't like Rush, I like the Moodies better though :)
this song is about? he couldnt tell her in a letter so he decided to go to her...he didn't mind it was a long 3 day journey by horse...he chased the clouds away....she wanted to go with him to his homeland far away but was a noblwoman and had an overbearing father...love found...love lost...forever?//
i'm in america and have been in love with justin since the age of 12..this is my alltime fav song and (knight) in white satin....i wish I could see at least one of their concerts maybe in new hampshire in sept...if he outlives his wife,I would folow him around the world and take care of him in his old age even feed him etc and he could sing to me! lol bobbie
They seem nervous here. The guitar strumming is delivered with a bit too much desperation—much more than you hear on the original recording; kind of a funky 60's groove in contrast to the usual laid back deliverance. Despite that, it's a fantastic piece of video.
i've loved justin since I was 12 and this is my favorite of all songs...he truly is a gifted singer,songwriter,and musician...no wonder the band plays on....
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.
Love is the only reason why!!!!!!
Open all the shutters on your windows, unlock all the locks upon your door, brush away the cobwebs from your daydreams, no secrets come between us anymore, only love will see you through, you know what love can do to you.
Finally, some more footage from their Isle of Wight performance. The only song that I've seen is their performance of "Night's in White Satin". I wonder if their is footage of their full set.
@sabatini210 :) i could'nt fathom a comment that added anything to this hauntingly beautiful post, so i went completely out of character with an insult. sorry, when i feel vunerable, i have sociopathic tendancies. rofl hitler youth rally, that is the first time ive ever been in contention with a nazi.
Looking at Justin's eyes in this video just tells you why he is one of the all time best songwriters that ever come along! To watch & hear the passion & serenity the Moody Blues songs sound is sensationally beatiful! They will always be a part of my life!
Wonderful live version of one of my many favourite Moodies songs!!! Justin looks gorgeous. Thanks Big Brother 'Johnnie' for playing their songs when I was a kid. Will always remind me of you, and what a way to be remembered Bro x x x
Oh my dear friends... what the hell happened to meaningful, heartfelt, emotional music like this? Does it have to be all bling, sex, young girls dressed like sluts and ugly rappers nowadays? Where are the Moody Blues of the 21st Century? Questions, questions, but no answers... anyway, wonderful stuff, thanks for posting.
Well, there may not be a Moody Blues, but there is PLENTY of great music out there. I'm 43 so I loved the Moody Blues in the 70's, and love lots of new bands now...you just have to look past all the nonsense that lives in "Top 40" lists. Try Arcade Fire, No Cars Go, for example.
@Mrfairchap I have played many styles of music for different audiences from 40's Swing, R& R, Punk, Alternative Music to Trance and electro ...I agree with you, even though I look forward to the next trend of music, fashion, etc ... ( The music must say something ! ) the communication is duplicated now so many times I feel it is lost in translation ...somehow.
Among many genres I really appreciate the 60's music it had a lot to say ,If the new generation will listen,and learn to appreciate.
Freakin' A. I'm so psyched about the Moody Blues!! I'll get to see Justin, John, and Graeme this Friday night, at the Hard Rock Hotel, Las Vegas, NV....kicking off their US tour for 2011!!!
Justin Hayward is one of THE most underated musicians in rock, singing, playing, and songwriting, the whole lot. The keyboard that Mike P is playing is called a mellotron. It replicated the string section sounds used in the studio by playing tapes of prerecorded string instruments. By all accounts it weighed nearly a ton and could be a real bastard to play because it would always breakdown usually when it got to hot so Mike P also became quite the expert at onstage repairs.
@cudaj2 - Right you are. Justin H. doesn't get the recognition he deserves. Maybe it's because he likes his privacy? I don't know. I'm grateful for these films so my children can see an example of quality 70's music. PS - Did you know that it was from a sack of applications sent in response to an ad by Eric Burdon for the new Animals (though that was unknown to the applicants) that the Moody Blues, upon Denny Laine's departure, pulled Justin's name? I suspect you know the story. Peace.
@mjcamck71 I HAVE heard that, but wasn't quite sure how true it was, Lol! If it is, and it sounds to be true, then they definitely made the right choice! The rest is excellent rock history.
@cudaj2 Good info re:Moody Blues,. Good description of Mellotron. I am not sure that any of the new synths do as well with instrument voices, Although today some come very close,still hard to beat analog sound of mellotron. Although mellotron was used in live performances of this song,I believe that the Days of Future Passed album was before mellotron and orchestra sounds were made by London Symphony Orchestra.
Justin's been doing it for more than 40 years and sounds as good as ever. I really wish I'd seen them before Mike and Ray left the band though. Oh for a time machine.
@PoolsOfBlueGlass I'm 60 odd now seen them a few times at the Belfry in the late sixties -70s only a small place so atmosphere was great , Mike Pinder on meletron Ray Thomas playing flute and Obo live in Brum so have seen them regularly. but 60's was best time to be young.. and enjoyed every bit of it.
THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER BAND AS GOOD AS THE MOODIES. THERE MUSIC IS TIMELESS. I GREW UP WITH THE MOODIES AND I WILL DIE WITH THE MOODIES TANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT MEMORIES. OVER THE YEARS KEEP THE FAITH AND KEEP ON SINGING.
@cloudjia that is something different,I do not ever remember hearing that intro. Yet likely I just missed it. Wow I really prefer this version above all others,great find!
hey bigjoe 57, your surnames not blakiston is it, just a hunch. They are as good as ever saw them a couple of years ago at the NEC, sheer magic, lik being back in the 60's, oh for time travel
ha i don't care for the weed yi, but i am certanly glad to see someone discover this music for the first time.... the 60's 70's were truly amazing musically
Nice to see this ! The song is better known to US ears, as it was released as a single over there. Recently featured in a Visa ad.
Mike Pinder is playing a mellotron which is even harder to play live than other keyboard,
They go out of tune, tape loops snap, the pitch will vary with temperature etc etc. But what a magical sound he got from it, virtually defining the "Moodies" sound.
9 times out of 10, nobody but the original artist can do it "right". There are a few redo's that are good, not many. While I like this song, I have to say Nights in White Satin is their best. Just takes ya back..........
I was at this and it still sounds good. its funny looking back and thinking forward to how things became. I dont know why people are so worried about the hall of fame...
Next to the Beatles, Moody's are the Best

Oh my dear friends... what the hell happened to meaningful, heartfelt, emotional music like this? Does it have to be all bling, sex, young girls dressed like sluts and ugly rappers nowadays? Where are the Moody Blues of the 21st Century? Questions, questions, but no answers... anyway, wonderful stuff, thanks for posting.

Well, there may not be a Moody Blues, but there is PLENTY of great music out there. I'm 43 so I loved the Moody Blues in the 70's, and love lots of new bands now...you just have to look past all the nonsense that lives in "Top 40" lists. Try Arcade Fire, No Cars Go, for example.

@Mrfairchap I have played many styles of music for different audiences from 40's Swing, R& R, Punk, Alternative Music to Trance and electro ...I agree with you, even though I look forward to the next trend of music, fashion, etc ... ( The music must say something ! ) the communication is duplicated now so many times I feel it is lost in translation ...somehow.
Among many genres I really appreciate the 60's music it had a lot to say ,If the new generation will listen,and learn to appreciate.

Justin Hayward is one of THE most underated musicians in rock, singing, playing, and songwriting, the whole lot. The keyboard that Mike P is playing is called a mellotron. It replicated the string section sounds used in the studio by playing tapes of prerecorded string instruments. By all accounts it weighed nearly a ton and could be a real bastard to play because it would always breakdown usually when it got to hot so Mike P also became quite the expert at onstage repairs.

@cudaj2 - Right you are. Justin H. doesn't get the recognition he deserves. Maybe it's because he likes his privacy? I don't know. I'm grateful for these films so my children can see an example of quality 70's music. PS - Did you know that it was from a sack of applications sent in response to an ad by Eric Burdon for the new Animals (though that was unknown to the applicants) that the Moody Blues, upon Denny Laine's departure, pulled Justin's name? I suspect you know the story. Peace.

@cudaj2 Good info re:Moody Blues,. Good description of Mellotron. I am not sure that any of the new synths do as well with instrument voices, Although today some come very close,still hard to beat analog sound of mellotron. Although mellotron was used in live performances of this song,I believe that the Days of Future Passed album was before mellotron and orchestra sounds were made by London Symphony Orchestra.

@verbenco Yes you are correct, that was the reason they got the mellotron to reproduce what the London Symphony Orchestra had done. Thank you!

@PoolsOfBlueGlass I'm 60 odd now seen them a few times at the Belfry in the late sixties -70s only a small place so atmosphere was great , Mike Pinder on meletron Ray Thomas playing flute and Obo live in Brum so have seen them regularly. but 60's was best time to be young.. and enjoyed every bit of it.

Nice to see this ! The song is better known to US ears, as it was released as a single over there. Recently featured in a Visa ad.
Mike Pinder is playing a mellotron which is even harder to play live than other keyboard,
They go out of tune, tape loops snap, the pitch will vary with temperature etc etc. But what a magical sound he got from it, virtually defining the "Moodies" sound.
