I want this video on my V75 unit.

@yronwyatt49b I tried to change the settings so you could do that, but it's not working right now. YT sucks, sorry!

Great post, thank you! Nice juxtaposition to what's on the album, more reverb on the voices and more mellotron/keyboards on this version. Is that John playing 12 string at 1:23?

[bze2nlz4]

@1999wharfrat Yes that's him :)

[moodybluesgurl]

ok so i'm dying to know what the photo is from at 2:43. Is that an album cover a publicity photo what??

[bze2nlz4]

@moodybluesgurl Someone else noticed the Coke bottles and then I was able to track down the picture...it is a Coca-Cola ad from a Dutch magazine, probably around '67-'68. They also recorded a radio commercial for Coke around that time...it is here on YT :)

Fantastic! Thank you for sharing this. I hadn't heard this version and agree with the masses that it sounds great. Such a tight band. They sound as good live as they do in the studio and we all know that isn't easy to do. Bravo! Encore Encore!

[DenEColt]

Never heard this version before. It's faster than the album version but still good. Great stuff - thanks for sharing!

[NORSKize]

Good Times.

[shegocrazy]

This version is so good I want the remastered CD - NOW.

@Zippertheslipper - Agreed. I can't for the life of me figure out why they aren't. Has to be political or something along those lines. Or maybe they just didn't fit into Jann Wenner's "club of elitist snobs" Don't know, but if I were The Moody Blues, I'd tell them to stick it.

Thanks for posting this, 1st time hearing this extended version, very cool .

[fliegelalan]

feels like good rock n roll!

Great job, nice rare photos I had not seen before. Can't get enough of these guys, the truest Legend of a Band still out there, no doubt.

@1999wharfrat OOPs...I stand corrected...I thought u meant in the audio track!

[Skyhawkct]

@1999wharfrat Probably not. Back then The Moodies did a ton of multi tracking, so it's probably Justin playing both lead and rythm 12 string.
