@borecleaner1 Justin Hayward rocks on the guitar. John Lodge's bass is awesome, and Mike Pinder's lyrics and melloron make this one of the best Moodies' songs there is.
this song uses the mellotron and the moog synth ( I believe ) and the cool guitar interlude is justin hayward's very realistic futuristic synth sounding solo. remember 1970 was the time and the moodies were using very advanced equipment and flawless recording. you can even appreciate the care taken in the recording even today. masterful.
@TitusBass111 Saw the band saturday night at the St Michele Winery in Woodinville.....wasn't disappointed in the least..first tune was ''gypsy'' and a little under two hours later they finished with ''ride my see-saw''.......Loved every second of the show........sat five rows from the stage.the speakers damn near blew me away,especially when Justin Hayward went to work with his guitar......Great Show !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@borecleaner1 Saw them in GP Texas earlier this month with my wife and teenage son! The Moodies were superb. So happy for you, Junes just around the corner. Oh, Justin Haywood is the mast of the guitar from 1:32.
Justin Hayward is better known for his amazing voice but his guitar playing is seldom mentioned. It's him playing the guitar lead in the middle of this song. Mike Pinder's own distinctive voice, amazing mellotron and mini-Moog, aided by Ray Thomas's flute. Superb stuff. Superb band.
@FrancisBarker937AD Whoever did the FANTASTIC guitar licks from 1:32 to 1:59 has talented beyond that relegated to mere mortals.That was the most powerful and intense guitar playing I have ever heard in my life.......My wife,who is incidentally my high school sweetheart who I have been married almost thirty-three years to,surprised the living hell out of me when she told me that she had bought tickets for us to see the Moody Blues at the St Michelle Winery in Woodinville this June 4th..Yeah !!!!
How is it, we are here??????
