The Moody Blues - Lovely to see you

[Alliancelane]

Still a beatifully wrapped gift thrown into waste recepticle.

[atmasurup]

why is stern so popular... my god someone please kick him to the curb

[TheCharlestonFollies]

moody blues totally outclassed the douchebag hahaha awesomeness

[Zippertheslipper]

I missed this show but good to see it on you tube. Tell you what, the Moodies rock big time and those gals dancing, I thought one of them looked like Goldie Hawn and the other gal reminded me of Joyce Behar. Beyond that, the song was very good, need to get more Moodies experience on tv, thank you Howard. ;)

[tastyhorses]

the go go girl on the left puts me in mind of the dancing hippos in Fantasia. The other one looks like a 60's stoner groupie. sheesh.

[NorthTxBalla]

that blonde chick is hott!!!

[PrincessSolitaire]

Good lord - hate Howard Stern. Don't know why he calls it an interview, because he never lets anyone get a word in edgewise.

[atmasurup]

@PrincessSolitaire I agree with you... why are they there oh my god

[GregSr]

Putting the Moody Blues on the Stern Show is like putting a swan in the middle of the Sahara desert.

[razumfrackle]

One of the greatest bands ever do a gig in a toilet.

And, still sounding awesome.

Still trying to wrap my mind out of what just happened.

[R0ckblt]

So surreal, Justin is wincing at howard's abrasiveness then a stellar acoustic version of the song almost like they knew he couldn't say anything while they're playing haha

[mja2035]

Howard is such an idiot.

[posthumanhero]

howard seems so mean here

[EmilyShoutsILY]

Heyward looks as if he could be related to Donald Trump

[gspsutube1]

Side by side: one of the best bands ever, performing one of their best songs, live, without studio production; one of the icons of our current times (think what you will of him). Fortunately for me, the song transcends times and personas, eh?

[module19]

Howard in 1989 is not the same guy as today. I am a fan of Howard and the moodys, but I can see why folks here think Howard is lame in this interview :-)

[geekstreat]

Maybe Moody Blues didnt know what they were getting into that day, but if you dont think these guys never performed around some scantilous dressed woman in theyre day, youre crazy!

[hang10jerry]

Hot little blonde. That's the first time I've seen Howard (The coward,) say a chick was hot and she was.

The drummer seemed stoned enough to actually be enjoying himself.

[imlavernesmom]

Holey Moley! Patrick Moraz looks just like Tony Clifton with them shades on!

[hereinthebronx]

this had to be uncomfy!

[Taxtar]

Howard Stern, you are a mess and yu dont even know who you're interviewing.

[moonlightsea8]

The Moody's should never have  condescended to Howard's level. At least he had the decency to say nothing bad about them...

[NephilimFree]

Stern is a loser God hater loudmouth filth loving moron. I love the Mooddys however. lol

[technocrash09]

Howard is an ASS!

[susiev08]

Funny, I can't stand Howard Stern, but this is one of my favorite versions of this song.... and just watching Justin's reaction to the craziness is fun!!

[dfretless]

Wonderful mix of unintentional parody and musical excellence. Thanks for posting :))

[donottawaguitar]

ha ha

[LashBridges]

I have also wondered why they would appear on this no-talent's show. Must be exposure. Stern has a big following (why? Who knows). The guy has an iq of a chair and if it wasn't for bad taste, he'd fit in well at a circus side-show. Great sound. Lodge and Ray's mics could have been much louder.

[Songbird1165]

These girls should "go go" away these guys have way too much talent & class for this B.S. from H.S. God Bless the Moody Blues!

[wouldntyoulike2know]

I used to be a fan of Howard Stern cause he did have some of my favorite bands as guests on his show, but seriously, who's idea was this?? I've never seen the Moodies look so out of place before. He's very rude to them, but they are forever gentlemen, how they handle it.

[Bullettube]

Yup! Howard Stearn, the DJ of no class had the Moody Blues on his show. Why? because he has always loved them! Hahahh,,get it? Howard hates hypocrisy, he loves the honesty of the Moody Blues, plus he probably spent a lot of time stoned while listening to their deep lyrics back when he was in college. While every other musician today is all hype, the Moddies are still the real deal.

[5winston]

the boys do look scared of Howard and the gang. Great music shuts everybody up!

[notsobigsmoke]

Who are these Idots doing the interview?

[technocrash09]

@notsobigsmoke Howard "a**hole" Stern and Robin "I'll do anything for money" Givens.

[salocin671]

howard stern what a  class a wanker

[driftwoodms14]

Stern is a jerk but the video is precious. Thanks!

[Poopaloo55]

Oh my...What's wrong with that lady? LOL!!

The Moody Blues are perfect gentlemen as always!

[justaflamingo]

THANKS FOR THIS! It's always been one of my favorite mb performances. Howard handled them perfectly, but then he's a  master. The girls made it. This is a real guilty pleasure!! Perfect. Loving to laugh at this.........

[g0ygetter]

C'mon, this is absolutely hilarious! God Bless the Moodies! The go'go's are just an added bonus, haha!

[Billykid514]

ABSOLUTE CLASSIC!

[ingodidoubt]

This is hilarious. I can't believe they allowed themselves to be ridiculed like this! Justin Hayward is the steve urkel of rock and roll.

[ingodidoubt]

I stll can't believe I was a big fan of these guys when I was younger. Now I can't stand them!

[julesmoody]

well,you had good taste once

[ingodidoubt]

Yeah, I suppose your right. Now I just listen to Mahler, Shostakovich, Stravinsky, Debussy and all of those mediocre composers.

[FirewindII]

They did very well in the face of The Shock. They didn't look like they were having a good time, but they were themselves. That's how you do it. Be it. That's all. Who came out on top? There you are.

[justaflamingo]

geez, where's your sense of humour? this is the funniest thing i've seen. every time i see it i'm rotflmao. i think the guys actually enjoyed it....loosen up sometime. love the roseanne line.

[Rotamitsena]

Boy can Hayward play a guitar some

[olderbudnoweiser]

...awkward!

[motoxbuddy]

This just should never have happened!

[itsablueworld]

I'm a HUGE Moodies fan... I remember seeing this when it aired live...and wanting to crawl under the table...lol. Justin said it best at the finish..."You've just witnessed the end of a very mediocre career.." ------ May the Moody Blues rock forever!!!

[JIMMIESURFS]

lol

[BeDastardly]

Howard needs to retire. Opie & Anthony, Ron & Fez forever!

[JustPassingByToday]

When Justin was asked about why the group managed themselves through most of their career, he admitted that they made their share of mistakes.

I expect appearing on this show is one of them.

[thenewhorizons]

The Moodies have that "what the hell are we doing here" look on their faces. They still manage to take it in stride being the gentlemen that they are. That must have been a painful experience for them.

[PHS71]

Shut up Howard!

[wopman1010]

I'm new to Howard... is he always this energetic, or WAS he back then??

[alienhuman]

Wasn't this from the "coke" era?

[lloyd63]

Howard is just doing his job, He acknowledged that there was no reason to stroke them because knew how GREAT

they are!!!!!!!!!!!!! and they are GREAT , they just took it all in stride!!!!!!!!!

[patty3173]

howard the schmuck. class meets crass

[docevil003]

patty3173 ..... You said it best with the fewest words...

Moodies had to be pissed at whoever booked them on

Howard the Jackass's show!

[yabits]

What an interesting contrast in character types. The Moodies have a grace that Howard could never attain no matter how hard he tried.

[midwife61]

Amen - Howard is an ass!

[clipboardcrotch]

by grace do mean calling the fat chick roseanne @ 2:18

[lance33177]

LOL

[AnthonyT50]

This is a mix that just doesn't work. Howard is such an asshat.  He tries to make everything a sexual circus and the MB's just sit there rolling their eyes and cussing their agent.

[finbarfay]

Ugh. The Moodies on Howard's program.

The end of the world as we know it.

[jerry1736]

Ditto to most of the comments above. They handled it with their usual grace but why dignify Stern in the first place. I suspect the Moodies were 'lambs led to slaughter' by whomever within their management who, not unlike Stern, just does not 'get it' regarding the Moodies and their beauty message and 4 decades of some of the most important Art on this 'Lost World'.

[warbird01uk]

What an absolute twat! Why the Moodys ever went on his show?

[MeIancholyMan]

As others, I was a bit fearful of what I was watching until the impromptu Lovely To See You.. just fun, fun, fun! Yes, the go-go girls were a bit kitchy.. but then Howard does NOT do the same BORING interviews that EVERY other interviewer does.. MOODY BLUES FOREVER!!!

[M231231]

takes alot of security for sakreet to come out and shake it when you're carrying a good extra 60 lbs

[swanker007]

who are them f@@kin' eejet..... interviewing.

[arcticgummibear]

Stern is a PIG..but the Moodys are AWESOME

[jerkyface]

God, I have tried twice and this is just too painful to watch... poor guys... gogo girls??

[lcr1955]

Can't believe that such a class act like the Moody Blues would appear on such a show like this. They handled it well, and as usual WITH CLASS!

[cchight]

it's funny to see the moodies, sensitive, enlightened artists with howard stern who is the antithesis of them. i'm sure this meeting was arranged by their tour manager.

[chocolatcats]

I HATE THE STUPID STUPID LOUD AND IGNORANT HOWARD STERN. Why did the finest band worldwide; BE THERE WITH HIM?

[SAINTpio91006]

Justin did NOT look amused at all here...

[deniseheyse]

how old are these guys? and his voice still so kicking

[kenkomurek]

Ya know Love both The Moody's and Howard, and at the time they were both at their best. Justin and the guys have a sense of humor more then you will ever know, Howard Loves them too, just has to keep things lively in the studio at channel 9. I commend The Moody's for being so polite, but I know that they knew what they were getting into, and it it worked out great and was great exsposure for them, so don't be bitter, because personally I know they have no regrets.

[RS1963]

Too bad they had to put up with Howard and his band of morons.  The Moodies did show class by not getting up and telling him to f-off.

[threerandot]

Geez, I thouhgt they would have retired to their castles by now too!

[uscgccampbell]

The Moodys ooze class and the girl and Stern make me want to puke. They should have gotten up and left the stage. Stern is a classless turd.They should have thrown the girl through a window. Argh, this is awful to watch. Inmates in charge of the asylum.

[latta4]

Stern is such a bleeding, self righteous, arrogant piece of fucking shit! Not worthy whatsoever of these guys. A true Idiot!

[georgethemod]

Oh my poor Moodies:( Who idiot told them to go to this jerk?They seem so out of place in this tv crap...I felt so sad watching them playing this wonderful song of theirs in this sick atmosphere..

[Zippertheslipper]

That host sounds like Cheetah and needs a banana, beyond that, the Moodies are beyond money, they are into musical mystic music.

[stevebenbob]

agreed,blues must have been totally embarashed

[bunyipgirl]

Is Stern serious? I just can't believe an interviewer could be that ignorant and boorish. And pointing his finger, how rude.

Thank you for listening to my rant.

Love Bunyipgirl.

[mrbag60]

I normally like Howard Stern but here he's definitely being idiotic. The Moody Blues were true gentlemen especially Justin who for the most part seemed to take it all in stride. Of course after they left the Moodies probably choked their agent for booking them on his show. As for retirement, i guess they didn't heed Howard's advice and are still going strong to entirely new audiences nearly 20 years later.

[pdelaprimm]

Other than being little more than a loud mouthed boor, Stern is clearly out of his league and offers little beyod a venue.

[jimmyjoy2u]

This was one of Stern's high points. The Moody Blues are ALWAYS a classic act! But -- how do you soar like an eagle when working with a turkey.

[customfrank]

Stern & Robin sounded like two dumb monkees for a minute there , oohh ohh ooohh ooogah oogah but this is still a great memory. The band really enjoyed the vibe and they had fun and it sounded really good.

[LisaMariebythesea]

Stern is sooo lost!! He really is!

What a real classless jerk!

The Moody blues are phenomenal people!!

Stern get a REAL Life. The guys were a real

good sport about it!!!!

[swizzlecheeks]

Stern, you so not get it!!!! Your a material girl, pal.

[EGMAG]

How could the FANTASTIC GREAT MOODY BLUES condescend to this low level and have an interview with that psycho nut stern?

[profjohnfrinks]

why is graeme sitting out of the group...does he not have the right to sit at the desk?

[BrainheartMan]

I LOVE this chat the Moodies had with Howard Stern!!!

Leave it ol' Howie to slightly compromise these cleaner-cut guys, with "slightly" being the operative word!

[Wassabe23]

I'll be brave and post a comment as a huge fan of both Stern and the Moodies. Great for me to see this and Stern does speak well of them even to this day. Artie does a great "Breathe deep..the gathering gloom..."

[youngmoodyfan]

They handled it well, but what torture! "My good friends the Moody Blues"? Yuck. Any Moodies fan knows they won't pull a "last tour" stunt! Justin does solo albums anyway and the band's still together- duh!

I don't know if it was this interview or another one, but my dad said once he heard Stern ask Justin, "You must have a beautiful babe waiting back at your hotel room whenever you want, right?" and Justin calmly replied, "Yes- and we've been married for many years." :-D

[MountainGirl78]

Howard is just always very obnoxious because it is the only way he get attention. Before he started up his radio show in the 80's he went from one radio station to another. Justin is such a gentleman and he bore all of Howard's questions with the grace that he always possesses.

[zippy830]

Amen.

[LashBridges]

Yeah...why would these guys who are known for being oh so CLASSY degrade themselves by appearing with this lowlife jerk. What a sickening human being. But being so professional, they pull it off with a great rendition from the 'Threshold of a Dream' album.

[SirFone]

How on earth did they wind up on this schlemiel's show? I'm wondering if The Moodies didn't lose a bet or something . . .

[Entropy56]

The 'end of a mediocre career" when you have to go on Howard Stern.

[candleoflife]

Music has no age... There is NO LAST TOUR! It's who you are. You can never put down your instruments one day and say I'm done with this...

[inwoodliver]

sukreet was a local news story at the time.

[Gilk53]

Stern is an idiot

[terrijane61]

Gilk, I agree wholeheartedy! Check out that fat sow he brought in for a go-go dancer. PUH-LEEEZE!!!! I'm, sorry, but Stern is just a BIG @#%$@ )&(^*$% !!!!!

[Gilk53]

People PAY to hear this idiot on the airwaves????!! The Moodys ran for the shower after being this close to this slime-ball

[terrijane61]

I'm sure they did!! Was it just me, or did Justin look he wanted to bust Stern right in the mouth? Justin could mop the floor with Stern.

[weatherpro]

Howard stut up ... too bad you can't put tape on his mouth and concentrate on the band.

[hostroute]

Thats not Howard Stern its Parick Moraz getting his revenge!

[yewtubular]

It's a shame I can't watch this but the only piece of crap that is crappier than actual crap is that piece of crap know as Howard "The World's Biggest Piece of 'Crappier Than Crap' Crap" Stern. Crap should sue H.S. for defamation of character.

[Backlap]

What the Heck?! What were they doing on Howard Stern? Justin certainly looks offended by Howard's insistance that they retire. Looks like Justin proved Howard wrong lol!

[inwoodliver]

stern= pig

moodies=creative geniuses

[terrijane61]

AMEN!!!! You could just SEE the total disgust on the Moodies faces. How on earth did they end up on Stern's pathetic show? I bet they had no idea what they were in for. Poor guys...Stern is lower than whale crap!!

[BurkeDevlin66]

stern WILL die

[stillayankee123]

Love Howard and Love the Moody Blues. Geez...I thought that Howard could have gotten a better looking gogo girl. She has more rolls than a bakery. Thanks for posting!

[TimHuguet]

Stern = Moron.

Moodies = Genius.

[vikicz]

Justin remains so classy about all this!

[mylittlelovely]

Who are these morons ? Howard Stern and is that other one his sister ? I haven't ever before seen this Stern-idiot, and I truly hope this was the last time.

[dougcody]

The Moodies on Howard Stern? Truly a sign of the apocolypse!

[noyna9]

Its only because Howard was and is inadequate and jealous because he wasn,t and isn,t a rock star and never will be.Sad isn,t it.

[SteveH925]

I can't stand Stern but at least he was decent towards them.

The blonde was kind of hot, though. ;)

[janiceflanagan]

keep howard away from justin!

[vikicz]

Couldn't agree more!

[UU2]

I had no idea the Moodies were on Howard Stern. Who did they lose a huge bet to? Yes, you can tell they are all thinking "This guy is a complete turd. We're never coming back."

[specialk1079]

I couldn't agree more with you!

[terrijane61]

me 2

[cheerfulhamster]

I think I must've sustained 50 IQ points worth of brain damage watching this. No wonder they left this behind and toured symphony orchestras for the next decade. Thanks for the share, it was sobering. I totally agree with Kev.

[Kevtheguitarist]

The man talking should die, but the Moodies are great! lol.

[MoodiesFan]

I really love your Moodies stuff :)
