Legend of a Mind ~ Moody Blues

[bigboy14100]

Im 22 years old and i appreciate music like this love it more young ppl should be interested in music like this instead of this shitty music now a days

[checkthemdubs]

came across their song "eyes of a child" the other night while having a quite evening with my girlfriend and some nice acid. it changed my life. i've never felt so much hope for mankind.

[MrJbusby]

@checkthemdubs guess who...

[miniredsatan]

awesome stoney video. grew up with these guys as my dad was a big fan. he had all their albums and as a kid i used to love to look at the trippy artwork. 

[astraman1960]

Dont know of another music track that sounds this good in STEREO .

[dorigas1466]

I heard this song in NYC in 1989 on NEWFM. Changed my life. Thanks MB.

[leventino1968]

TIMOTHY LEARY... IS DEAD... NO.. NO... NO...

[fluffydolly]

awesome vid great stuff...!!!!

[guytitanic]

Pure musical therapy and eye candy.... Thank You!

[7329690653]

i'am 66 now but this song and others makes me feel alive and young again I forget the arthritis i even pulled out my fluit and remember the fingering too.and am still longhaired . poneytail

[ChristianHopeVideos]

Rev 20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

Rev 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

[johnnycheck99]

@ChristianHopeVideos Right on. Whatever you say.

[flathead59]

Too bad YouTube was'nt around about 30 years ago back in my days of mushrooms and LSD, this would have really been a great hit, the videos

[johnnycheck99]

@flathead59 Was this song big then?

[flathead59]

@johnnycheck99 Was very much into Blues early 80s ,not too much of it on the radio only a few greats, this is one you might hear on WXRT or on my eight trac or casette in my 67 Galaxie 500, and am still very much into The Blues...

[n64wilbert]

I'm HIGH

[BooeyHogue]

my least fav Moody Blues song. Like... who cares about Timothy Leary? Not me. Now you know.

[mikeheiss1]

@BooeyHogue I care about him enough to answer you. Mind your words, slave. Lots of people miss him, his wisdom. He was way ahead of his time, but how can you possibly understand? You are just a piece of meat. You're becoming extinct, together with this sick social order. Nobody cares about what you think. You're less than nothing; your existence is meaningless. You must be loved by a dozen people, at most. Leary is cherished by millions, even after his death. You are alive and already forgotten.

[emeraldfrog1]

@BooeyHogue Hey, Booey! If you don't get their music that's ok. You just don't get it. Lamar (65)

[blindmang]

@BooeyHogue check the lyrics, it is story set to music.

[ENACODNOM]

Unlike The Beach Boys, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and countless of others, The Moody Blues managed to produce truly decent so-called psychedelic music!

[TheWoodstockWarrior]

This takes me me back to the daze when I flew across the stars with Doctor Tim.

[HVYMETL]

I've listened to this 100ds of times since I was 15, sitting on the roof, watching the stars. How incredibly ethereal their music is.

[OneWayStop]

"..that astral plane we are all on if we would take the time to intellectualize it." By intellectualizing it, you destroy it with mental words which can be argued and misunderstood. It leads to the opposite "path." T. Leary advocated the use of LSD to kick to pieces the stained glass walls we build as we grow into adults and "intellectualize" ourselves OUT of childhood and into the "superior" adults we are now. IMO, MB lyrics remind us of our loss which we rightly mourn.

[scottleeper]

makes me want to get high

[7peacefreak]

If you want to see this stuff in real life, go to the Pacific Northwest.

[uncleezra1]

Graat job- the images you chose really highlight the song and certainly capture the feeling of the late '60s'.

[GlorifiedTruth]

One of my favorites. And the flute solo reminds me of Will Farrell in "Weatherman"!

[snow5crash]

very nice job... good work!! this is great stuff! keep it up!

[snow5crash]

very nice job... good work!!

[TheHawkeyemark]

The point is the inflection point- the switch at the end where you fly the astral plane- to soar- as ususal with the Moody's that spiritual hope. The Moody's don't put their faith in a man. It's God- or something greater. That part of Him that's in us all. I love this song for how it makes me feel- that astral plane we are all on if we would take the time to intellectualize it.

[judyluvsnoel]

this was my fav album ever. i played it until i wore the groves off. thanks for posting it.

[Amicus1952]

Time has shown the most dangerous man was the president.

Still is, unless you look beyond that puppet.

[FinnMove]

Do you know what was the opinion of Timothy Leary of this song ?

I think he was a bit misunderstood. Leary wasn´t the most dangerous man in USA like the president said. Timothy Leary wasn´t exactly a bad guy he believed most of it what he said about LSD and maybe believed LSD could help the humankind to understand the world better. But the negative points of that chemical wasn´t informed very well when Leary became famous as a LSD guru.

[spacepatrolman]

@FinnMove JOHN LODGE decieded not to take LSD he was an engineer the other guys did

[level505]

@FinnMove this song is more about Astral Projection then it is LSD

[bunchie1966]

Nice; I haven't heard this before.

[NotOrdinaryInGames]

Decent.

[ThickStew]

live among shiny bubbles, colors,liquid philosophy man, inca patters, flux man, eternal flux, accept all as it is, its perfect, pain and extacy, yin yang man, let the calming peace nd love embraces you

[johnnyboync1]

great song about an incredible man.

an absolutely beautiful montage.

imagination is the key.

[Asylum709]

Story in your Eyes

[snookie60100]

Maybe the best artwork i've ever seen here - excellent choice for the song itself. Sincere congratulations.

Jean-Paul/France

[PinealVoyager]

Someone please tell me where i can see more of the light head artwork at 0:16 into the video.

[johnnyboync1]

always one of my all time favorites.

the video is fantastic! the artwork is absolutely beautiful. i wish i could express what's in my head the way these gifted artists can.

[pointreven]

Ray now has his own website raythomas.me-go and visit.

[12192058]

Well done!

[rpmall]

Reminds you of what it's all about again.

[gorickard319582010]

A great masterpiece, placed between 'House of Four Doors, Part 1' and 'House of Four Doors, Part 2' on 'In Search Of The Lost Chord'. Sadly, FM radio stations in my area, even those with a classic rock format, very rarely play this timeless classic anymore.

[goriii19582006]

Great classic which rarely gets played nowadays, even on classic rock stations. 

[laceytony1]

I would just like to say that this video completely matches the song. A most excellent combination indeed!

[laceytony1]

I love this video, and don't need to drop acid to appreciate the artistry of this amazing video. I find this an exceptional video to watch much less to listen. Thanks!

[kataliceb]

hi what is that picture of a women in a white dress with faces as the back ive never seen it before! thanks

[kataliceb]

hi what is the picture of a women in a white dress with two faces as the back, of the dress i ve never seen it before it's beautiful! x

[nmc1763]

Wow!!!!!! outstanding!

[MrPseudox]

Visuals did justice to an ethereal number !!!

[dannyLee3052]

I first heard this song in 1968 when i bought the album "In search of the lost chord" by the Moody Blues.3 of my closes friends and i split a 4 way acid. We started tripping with a boom box blaring the legend of the mind while the hallucinogen was just starting to kicked in and man what a formidable awesome experience.We were on the rooftop.Thank God no one thought of jumping out of the building...Hail to Timothy Leary.What a Genius man he was.May he rest in Astral plain.

[killlagger468]

i recall him teaching a lecture a while back, the class was excited to here about his trips with acid and philosophies.

only to be disappointed that he lectured on satellites and earths gravitational pull.

altho it did enlighten me that life isnt always about mind expansion I presume.

[mobyboy]

He is the great professor, but is he Umma Turman's Father ?

[scrabtree1]

Uma's mother's first marriage was to Tim Leary. She divorced Leary, married another professor, and begat Uma.

[zachtg1]

I remeber going to my first MB concert and looking around at all the people, thinking -these people are a little like me,sort of like family. Never did hard drugs, but these guys always took me somewhere else-a good place.

[lionssong2525]

Love these original wonderful comments.

This song is forever.

[LPLandingZone]

@lionssong2525

AND HOW, BUB.

[speedskiff2]

Moody Blues had that rare gift where people could close their eyes and imagine. My days of "expanded consciousness" are long gone but I can still close my eyes to their music and imagine. Enjoy

[JeD131]

I don't usually care about the video slide show things but man if you're stoned as I am then these are the right pictures to the right song.

[spacepatrolman]

The moody blues did another version called timothy leary is alive [after he died ] which hasnt seen the light of day in here .

[speedskiff2]

wonder if they were using a melotron on this song.

[spacepatrolman]

Yes they definitly did all those swooping portamentos and glissandos .

[PeridotTexan]

Hey LPLandingZone....you are sooo right. The Moody Blues are, and will always be the BEST bands ever, and they are definitely underrated. I have been listening to them since the early 70's. I am now 57 and still listen to them. The music never gets old.

[GregERobertson]

right you are . . I've seen 'em three times; once when they did shows with the Orchestra from each city they played . .Awesome . .

[LPLandingZone]

One of the most underrated bands ever.

[probrojeffro]

@LPLandingZone Well, they sold over 70 million albums, but I agree. Even classic stations don't play them much. Certainly not enough talk about them today.

[zitlight73]

I share the same birthday with Tim Leary but throughout my psychedelic era I definitely more influenced by the Moody Blues sometimes I listened to them for days on end. Still do some days.

[wdb54imagine]

It is always a Question of Balance.

[irishwolf81]

Great song to trip to, and listen to sober! Moody Blues kicks ass!

[sherrylynn70]

You're vision for this great Moody Blues classic is awesome...great images respresenting the depth and heights of the an era...enjoyed the experience very much...thank you for your time and sharing your artistic soul...Many Stars♥ PEACE♥

[osinho1234]

Excellent work, Coloradream

Congrats! Keep on truckin'

[millerhenryv]

One Saturday I figured out how to play this on the guitar. Never get tired of playing it. Same thing with Tuesday Afternoon. There's a lot you can do with Tuesday. It's one thing to play these tunes ... the Moody's composed these tunes. Fabulous and thank you.

[wafflehouseco]

turn on, tune in, drop out

[AOXOMOXO]

Great imagery.

"It's all around IF we could but perceive."

[GregERobertson]

"how happy we could be if all of mankind would take the time to journey to the center of the mind"

[WVliberty]

shrooms will definately make you think outside the box man

[GregERobertson]

yes they definitely will.

[spacepatrolman]

you might not come back same thing with house of foor doors

[durgaaa]

@GregERobertson Start with all the world's government officials.

[GregERobertson]

@durgaaa . .yup . .that's what they were tryin' to do . .there was a scheme once to dump a whol;e bunch o' lsd into the Chicago water supply when the Democratic Convention, I think 68 . . what if? . .

[durgaaa]

@GregERobertson -in the water supply would not be safe for kids and old ladies. You gotta have direct targets -not whole city water supplies. Kinda like Grace Slick was trying at the Nixon White House.

[MoniqueandJustin3883]

@durgaaa so true . . if a small kid gets it, might tend to freak 'em a bit, but it sure would do most adults good to have that experiance ..

[durgaaa]

@MoniqueandJustin3883 But not most adults-All At Once- on the same day! Think what that would do to business, traffic, Can you imagine? It's got to be targeted.

[spacepatrolman]

@GregERobertson watch the dragway 42 video with that song

[FreeganGleaner]

Ah yes, the Fibonacci spiral...so appropriate as nature makes such abundant use of it.

This is a great vid, matched to an equally great song.

5 stars

[mindsaber]

At 1:00, those harmonies are magnificent in their capturing of the feel of the psychedelic experience. Although simple, it produces quite a kaleidoscopic visual- there's a certain perfection with how they captured the movement of a trip- the movement within your mind, the intricacies of the patterns.

[heathcoat1]

You have obviously never took LSD

[mindsaber]

Right back atchya. ;)

[johnnyboync1]

one more thing, the montage is incredible. thanks coloradodream.

[johnnyboync1]

i live in the blue ridge mountains and a ride on the parkway with this song blasting really puts me somewhere else. i smile, i think and i even cry.

timeless

[WrathofWotan]

This has been one of my very favouritest songs ever since it was released - millions of great vibes and memories from this one!! Thanks beyond words for the upload.

[saytra123]

trippy as hell bro...great song!

[80sMeavyHetal]

this song is so trippy it really takes me away

love it to play on bass and guitar

thx for uploading

[Hemorrhage888]

Good Job... Thanks

[Pmls1972]

It's 13 years since his death!

[WileERobby]

Awesome video. Awesome song, by the original Moody, the great Ray Thomas.

[matazarno19691]

Dear Friends, I have something to share.

About 12 years ago I met Johana Harcourt-Smith, one of Leary's wifes.

Years later I ended up working with Carol Sue Rosin, a friend of Leary's and the person who announced Timothy's death.

I am at the moment watching the pillow on which he died and his ashes on a can.

All this is happening in Ecuador, South America

[HOUSEOFFOURDOORS]

The spirit endures...

he's outside looking in.........

Spectacular trips....

[planetjanet2]

i cannot imagine the feeling> How glorious to have been in the circle of Leary's life and death.

[brofranomo]

You know what? For some reason I believe you. Internet is an amazing tool isn't it. I was close friends with a person who was a major heavy metal guitarist. People like us get on line and share sometimes. I know I do. Darrell was a good friend of mine. I truly believe you though.

[polymath1944]

A track from one of the best and most revolutionary rock albums ever done - by anyone! My son used to listen to this album for hours - and he was ony 2-3 years old.

[william3231954]

Brings back memories of a black room , ceiling painted with stars  and 4 way windowpane , travelling to astrel plains

[eps2467]

It's great to find this song on YouTube.

This is another great "lost classic" that they almost never play on the radio anymore. Thanks for posting.

[hujh955]

Born in 1968, Ive been listening to and enjoying this song all my life.

I also think it's xcool that there are no negative, hate tinged posts for this song.

Peace

[telsport]

Right ! I think the Moody Blues fans are a big bunch of real live Moody Blues who vibe at the same rate as the musicians and are every bit as much a part of the band as the guys with the guitarsThey are beautiful See Ray Thomas's quote from stage at Isle of Wight 70 to prove my point , Music enthuses the crowds and fans and that fan enthusiasm l feeds back and inspires the band No hate here ! Thank God !

Tom in Utica

[NoxAtrocitas]

LSD changed my life for what i can only say is the best thing thats ever happened to me, we all miss you timothy. great song by a great fucking band. amazing video

[rwm1]

One of the best of the psychedelic songs by the great Moody Blues with some great ...great imagery. What a sensory pleasure.

[shaggydowah]

Zone out song. Will the real Timothy. Leary please come forth and tune out all of the phyco babble ?

[TACYELLA11]

Wow! I have been missing some great films here.This is fantastic!

[tntcaliente]

Yes"

[DUCKSONAPOUND]

Good old Moody Blues and Timothy :)

[carolloving]

My Friend, you are a master! Remarkable visual, so beautiful. I love the Moody Blues and had the high honor of meeting Dr. Timothy Leary in the 1980's when he gave a talk at Colorado University. I leave you in peace, my friend.

[telsport]

Wish I had been there for the talk.

INterestingly and approproriately, when I was baptised as an adult entering the Roman Catholic church, my priest wrote my name in Book of Life in heaven ...not my own name, but calling me Timothy O Leary . Hmmm...

Certainly not something I asked for..nor is it something I will forswear.

Tom

[jammam02]

Signature song of the 60's-the greatest of the great

[ReikoHinano777]

LSD- yes. plan your trip though, and don't make your dosage too strong. It really will change you. It change me. Love.

[telsport]

Go lightly, yea verily. Remaining facile and attached to the dimension in which one starts is a real boon to the discovery aspects...to the comparisons and the revelations. Heavy dosing can defeat the purpose by besotting the explorer.

Thinking is the best way to travel !!

Tom

[AXISOFHENDRIX]

Spectacular-- incredible song and equally amazing video-- 500 stars - no doubt about it.

[SGTDoom12]

Excellent video, you did a great job. Thank you for that.

[anne241163]

Interesting video, nice song. Never thought of stairs as an art form!

[anitashelby]

Awesome Song & Video!!! 5*s I Love the Moody Blues..Thank You

[garyco345]

Great, awesome song...reaaly like the video as well.

[amethyst2001]

Great song, fantastic images,

thanks Dave *****

[beggarsgame]

Dave, I've got a story about this song. It was May 31, 1996. I'll clearly remember that show. They came out on stage and asked for a moment of silence for their good friend Timothy Leary who passed on that day. It got so very quiet it seemed forever and then the Moodies broke the silence and started the show with this song. Bone chilling. Ironic that their Woodlands show was scheduled the same day Tim floated away on his last trip to all understanding. A beautiful video for a legendary song!

[scotishjohn]

wild photos

thanks got friende it

[Thalbb1987]

This is a truely magnificent song, thank you!

[yasodadasi]

coloradream...good eye for art!

[AcousticPhases]

I have been a Moody Blues fan since the beginning of time immemorial, thats a long time, think about it!

I have tons of their albums, I even enjoy singing some of their songs, but have not recorded and uploaded any covers of them yet!

Thanks for posting this one and thank you Languagedancer for sending this to me.

[saullouis]

The politics of ecstasy.
