Moody Blues-Eternity Road

[lucripet]

One of he best of the M. B's!

[55painterman]

This Has To Be One of The best Songs Ever Recorded in the History of Music itself,

[aprile452]

Saw them at The Fillmore east in 67 still a fan....They are classic, never go out of "style" Still awesome live!

[moodyjeff54]

My favorite "Moodies" album. I like the open cover, the modern hand to the left, the primitive hand to the right. Both, drawing man's achievements. And the 'band' sitting around a campfire in their 'man-cave'.....Timeless....

[PiratesReport]

2:16 to 2:50 -- best Moodies ever!

[stevenjgw9]

I love this track and the album it comes from, they are so talented and so prolific that it is almost an embarrassment of riches to go through their body of work and pick a favourite. Whatever track I play is my favourite. I love them. Thank you every one who contributes.

[maxauburn]

A song you can listen to anytime, without having to be in any specific mood, except to hear a superb song!

[billo321]

Turning, spinning, catherine-wheeling. Forever changing, there's no beginning...

Catherine wheel: fireworks on a spinning wheel.

[CocteauDalighari]

"To Our Children's" was the 1st Moodys record I bought: the cover art reminded me of an illustration that accompanied some weird, semi-dystopic story by Van Tilburg Clark.

Later, in college, for some Philosophy 101 class, I hypothesized that what distinguished music in part from the other arts was that music could produce a sense of urgency (certain keys, tempos): this Eternity Road was an example (so was Beethoven's 7th). (The professor didn't buy it, & I got a C-minus.)

[dinofrangiamore]

@CocteauDalighari If your professor had taken a hit, put on the head-phones, and listened "To Our Children's", hopefully, if he were a real philosopher himself, he would have given you an A and encouraged you to pursue your hypothesis.

[TVLorien]

the song is just perfect but the video is also inspiring :)

[Tull29]

There can never be another group like this and that is a loss to everyone!

I was about six when I first heard them and we had a cat that would not leave the speakers when the Moody Blues were being played.

I am 50 and will never stop listening to them. I have all the early concept albums on vinyl and just love them!

Keep going Justin and company as we love you till this day!

[nootaramus]

does anyone have the tabs for the solo- is it two guitars ?? I have always loves the solo on this song and never quite managed to get it right..I have suspected its over dubbed several times but actually saw the moodies play this in 1994 and Justin nailed it ..its very chet atkins style pickin at its best.

[53moreHP]

@nootaramus It's 2 guitars playing the solo. Listen closely and you'll hear slight variations in what the guitars are playing because most of the time they play the same thing. How many overdubs I have no idea. Played live most people would never hear the difference. Looked for tab - none found.

[JasonBonitati]

Who needs the Rock n' roll Hall of Fame? To tell us that the Moody Blues are awesome?! Well fuck them. All their fans think they're amazing, who cares what the Hall says.

[TitusBass111]

Timeless music...perfect video! Again, thanks much Jill.

[TitusBass111]

Here's what John Lodge says about the RRHOF, "I suppose, the people who run the Hall of Fame, they’re on their own agenda. And whatever that agenda is, it has nothing to do with me. But obviously, from a fan point of view, they’re saying The Moody Blues haven’t contributed to American rock ‘n’ roll history. But 70 million albums later, incredibly successful tours, and the most devout of fans, I would beg to differ."

[ragnorr1]

@TitusBass111 And John's 100% right! I've been a Moody's fan since "67" and imho, their second to none - thnx for such accurate post!!

[ancientraver19881989]

@TitusBass111 but why gives a shit really the Rock n Roll Hall and Fame is a complete joke anyway a completely pointless thing which hopefully will eventually die and be forgotten - having said that most people dont know it exists now anyway!

[TitusBass111]

Thanks so much for posting these legendary songs from the Moodies! Your videos are awesome! I got to share with my wife and son an evening of their music this week. It was my 5th time! Wow, the Moody Blues live on!!!

[FrancisBarker937AD]

One of my favourites. Takes me to another place, and another out of this world guitar solo.

[trufflehund]

Are Moodys Rock and Roll Hall of Famers yet and, if not, why not!

[ModTopDart]

The Moodies' works from 1964 - 1971 are their best , with "In Search of the Lost Chord" ( 1968 ) being their best .

[unclegangus]

if there are any other Mellotron fans out there like me.....buy the DVD Mellodrama........very entertaining.....all you ever wanted to know aobut the Mellotron and Chamberlin

[faithr46]

My older brother introduced me to the moody,s when I was 11 and I bought every album thank you for great memories!

[PiratesReport]

2:25 to 2:50 -- Moodies at their absolute best!

[PiratesReport]

Novel concept: Music with words that are audible.

[ilovekansas]

Excellent. The boys all kick-in --- great bass rifts throughout -- Graeme's ever present percussion, wonderful guitar, and the mellotron harmonies are fabulous. When you think this was written some 40 years ago, its a testament to this band - timeless! Listen to the part from about 3:30 on ............. its taking me to eternity.....

[lala5732]

One of my favorite Ray songs!!

[JerichoDitch2]

moodies have always been very patient with their songs... allowing them room to develope even if it takes the song past 5 minutes in length...making them more composers than songwriters.  this is a great mournful and mystical song from Ray.

[beyondtheveilofdeath]

...let's walk on it....Travellin' toward Home Sweet Home..:-)

[malcolmsnake]

This song is one of my favorites!

[HKiersik]

ben gewoon in een moodiblue bui

40 jaar terug,

lovely on a rainy day

[Hitch0403]

Ray sings lead here..even tho a song John wrote Candle of light...Justin sing s lead on that

[bootsiebanty]

Very cosmic tune, even for the MB's. The To Our C's C's C has several of these.

[DavelovesRealMusic]

Ray only had ONE US radio hot--FOR MY LADY, yet his best compositions, Legend of a Mind, Dear Diary and Eternity Road went unnoticed by any Rolling Stone critic. We Love you ray,,

[MrShaunwhite]

great video

[zooluke]

justine rules! the moody blues rule! what a great song.

[tchaser58]

I could listen to this song all day and never get tired of it.

[Villagejonesy]

And, great video, MoodyJill! Very dreamlike.

[Villagejonesy]

This song is one of those Moody Blues songs for which they had to write "I'm Just a Singer in a Rock and Roll Band," to tell people "we really have no cosmic wisdom, everybody!"

To which I answer: "oh yeah?" :D)

[Byrdeyy]

omg...

[Jim2803]

Justin's harmonized solo in this is so uplifting and magical!

[Villagejonesy]

@Jim2803 Yes, that really makes the song, doesn't it? Takes it up just a little bit higher...

[spacepatrolman]

@Jim2803 very jazzy like king crimson the group they almost signed

[spacepatrolman]

@Jim2803 your right this was a pinacle of progressive  rock albums

[Inflec]

@Jim2803 Actually the lead vocal here is Ray Thomas.

[ProcolHarum1967]

@Inflec I think he means he likes Justin's backing vocals that work in harmony with Ray's

[spacepatrolman]

@Jim2803 thats a high point of the album 2:17

[spacepatrolman]

@Jim2803 sounds like there is 2 guitars there or some delay

[comisar99]

love you jill

[wildwindsca]

great video , the images capture the song especailly 2:06 . A song which although not very well know to non moody fans is totally moody, justins guitar picking and riff , the mellotron , johns bass is very prominent, rays voice and flute its all there!! and of course mr edge.

[BlackAssassin913]

Ray Thomas always had a great singing voice. You should hear him sing on "Celtic Sonant" ! (Keys of the Kingdom)

[kruizen]

nice video for this. good job!

[AdamsApple1963]

This and "Floating" are my two favorite Ray Thomas compositions...from my favorite MB album..To Our Children's Children's Children...Days Of Future Passed is a very close second! Anyway, another superb job, Jill!

[erikandgregsmom]

I thought this was a John Lodge song - am I wrong?

[dudemeisterSC]

@erikandgregsmom It's Ray that's singing Eternity Road.

[erikandgregsmom]

@dudemeisterSC thanks!

[DavelovesRealMusic]

@erikandgregsmom You are wrong..Ray Thomas wrote and sang this one.

[POPACHELLI]

GREAT SONG TO RELAX TO.

[EssentialDegnities]

This song I always dedicated it to my Late Uncle who was a bit strange...I love this video :-)

[starblade9]

My dad just passed away due to diebetes. He would have loved this video...

[Microsloth]

I always enjoy hearing those classic Mellotron strings.

[spacepatrolman]

@Microsloth at thispoint mike pinder turned the mellotron into a one man orchestra

[sallythewerewolf]

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!

I will be watching this over and over......

Thank you!

[records700]

my favorite moodies lp, and eternity road is one reason why.

[craigalan100]

Outstandin Jill...ive seen the Moodys three times and they are awesome.

[salbird2006]

MoodyJill fantastic!

traveling eternity road what will you find there... ;)

[lcr1955]

A wonderful mystical journey indeed....thanks for groovy video.....

[LolBananaPhone]

1000th view!

[eppomanta]

Great MB' Song... Nice Video

[Microsloth]

Very nice... one of my favorite MB songs. Brings back memories for sure.

[riflebone]

Ray's flute playing was always hauntingly beautiful. It was a shame it wasn't utilized more in the later albums.

[yogamantra]

my favorite group of all time endless classics that never date, an endless journey of pure poetry, nothing against, baby baby baby, but this music transcends the cot

thanks for this

[1999wharfrat]

Absolutely love this song. I think this is one of the best tunes for John, he really kicks it from about 1:50 to 2:50.

[LolBananaPhone]

Upvoted

[apeshitdig]

psychedelic meditation

[nicolemb22]

Absolutely my favorite work I have viewed. My favorite Moodies song with a great video. Thank you for sharing it.

[geribarbara]

A joy to watch and listen to:)) You certainly made a great video with this wonderful song!

5 huge stars

[spacedoc517]

I know you struggled with this video, and it would appear the effort was well worth it! Very nice job... I think you captured the messages in the music nicely! Thx

[neptunebob]

Tasty! But my audio cut out a few seconds early, at the end. Was that an internet hiccup?

[routube22]

An amazing effort that visually captures what is ungraspable, mixes textures, sacred symbols and nuances of life's mysteries that only could be boldly ventured into with this Moody Blues classic.
