They're older here but this is the group that started prog rock and the concept album. Justin Hayward has a timeless voice and the whole band is incredible.

Sargent Peppers was the original concept album.

Just one of the greatest songs ever. And the poem that follows it on the album is stunning.

Breathe deep the gathering gloom Watch lights fade from every room Bed-sitter people look back and lament Another days useless energy spent Impassioned lovers wrestle as one Lonely man cries for love and has none New Mother picks up and suckles her son Senior citizens wish they were young Cold hearted orb that rules the night Removes the color from our sight Red is grey and yellow white But we decide which is right And which is an illusion.... Correct me if I got any wrong. Doing that purely from memory.

The poem is titled: "Late Lament". What I've been told is that back in the day of real disc jockeys, and FM radio stations were actually using albums. On the original album Nights in White Satin was followed by Late Lament with a brief pause between the two tracks that was so short that many disc jockeys either missed the pause or deliberately let it play through both tracks making many listeners think it was one track. Even today a lot of people still refer to it as something like "Nights in White Satin - Full Version" or Nights in White Satin - Album Version"

Stunning after all these decades. What talent.

70's kid growing up listening to this. I feel so privileged to hear this back then and now.🙏🏾✨♥️♥️

1967. What a year for music. If you lived through it, then this song, performed with a full symphony orchestra, is just about the peak of happiness. So, if that's true, why does it move me to tears now? Lost youth? Frustration over what is considered music now? I don't know for certain but, damn, what an amazing performance. RIP Graeme Edge and Ray Thomas. Well done Justin and John. The Moody Blues....wow!

Goosebumps every time. Amazing that Justin wrote that when he was 19 years old. They married poetry and music in a very powerful way.

It amazes me that they are so much older and still sound so authentically like the studio version. What a great performance. 🌺✌️

This is my favorite group of all time.

I put this up there with "Whiter shade of pale," from around that same era, classic songs that have an almost spiritual quality to them.

One of the greatest pieces of music ever created

They were the first to use a full orchestra as their backup band. This incredible music is what happens when a bunch of talented, classically trained musicians decide to do rock music. Their albums were my first music purchases back in the day - I’m old.

TUESDAY AFTERNOON IS FABULOUS TOO.

Entire concert is available on you tube. Justin Hayward, the lead singer, wrote this song including the original orchestral score at 19 years of age.

I adore this song, it will be played at my funeral.

Listen to the whole album start to finish. It’s a trip. Literally. ❤

I saw them do this with a full orchestra in the late 1990’s. Every bit as fantastic as this. ❤

This beautiful song always makes me cry ❤️❤️❤️

The lead singer, Justin Hayward is 76 years old and still touring, although without an orchestra. His voice is still as beautiful as ever. I got to see him live last year. The man’s still got it.

So cool!!

This song is much more immersive when heard in the context of the entire album.

Love love love this! Goosebumps every single time I see this video of this beautiful, amazing song and performance! Only thing missing is the Late Lament poem!

Rest in peace to Ray Thomas who is the flute player here.

Deep well to explore here! Some of my favourites are "Isn't Life Strange," "I know You're Out there Somewhere," "The Other Side of Life," "Your Wildest Dreams," and "Tuesday Afternoon."

This song is great❤

In Your Wildest Dreams is one of my favorite Moody Blues songs.

This song is so hauntingly beautiful. Justin Hayward has a unique voice. He's incredible. The MB are the greatest band to come from Great Britain. I have this DVD. The whole concert is fire. 💙💙💙

An absolute classic that I will never tire listening to😊

That slow burn. True old rockers. 🖤

And that sir, is how it’s done

Most groups it’s a song or two. With The Moody Blues it’s the entire albums! The first time I was stoned my friend played their albums. Changed my life to the extent that I traveled to many long distance venues through the years…and even made a Moody Blues man cave with collections dating back to 1967! Question of Balance (The Balance) great sing by Mike Pinder (RIP)! Procession incredible sequence of lyrics, Timothy Leary, Gypsy, Simple Game, They came to America, Lost World, Here Comes The Weekend, Haunted, Eyes of a Child, Dr Livingston, Blue World, For My Lady, My Song, so many more!

One of the best live songs of the Moody Blues EVER!!😳💗👌👍✌

It’s wonderful that people offer so much beauty to us with their talent. I hope their music goes on and on.

The Moody Blues are unmatched and Justin Hayward is a brilliant songwriter with a fantastic voice!

This epic masterpiece will out live us all!! It was "born" in 1967 when I was 15 and I'm so happy its been part of my life since then!!! Completely exquisite!!💜💜🎵🎼🎶🎤🎹🎸🥁🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Listened to it driving around while cutting class.😂😂

The way you sat there mesmerized by the orchestral ending was priceless. Another great song from the boomer generation.

You must hear the album version with the poem, Late Lament, at the end of the song. If you only hear one other MB song, make it "Question" from the album A Question of Balance.

so....fucking....beautiful!

I first heard this song driving in the snowy mountains of NC in 2003. My mom was playing the song while I was just trying not to slide off the side of the mountain in her Bonneville. Once we got to the top of the mountain, the music crested and I saw the view and it was magical. I’ll remember it for the rest of my life.

I agree with you the flute is mesmerizing. It really makes that song.😊

I’ve heard this song like a million times but I still like it. Especially if I haven’t heard it in a long time.

I used to play the flute when I was in elementary school through high school (my dad was a musician who played violin, clarinet, saxophone and flute. He taught me the flute. Now I wish I had kept up with it and had learned how to play the violin as well (LOVE the violin) My dad was musically active until he was 98. He died at 102 years old in 2020. I MISS hearing my Dad play, and miss him. RIP dad, I love you.

I remember this playing on the radio growing up. One of the most beautiful songs still to this day.... They can play it on my funeral... :) LJ

I knew you would be in Awe with this band & lead singer, his voice hasn’t changed…” Nights in White Satin “ is my favorite song from The Moody Blues!👍👏👏👏💜🔥🔥🔥

Now You have to react to "Question" from the same Concert. The Entire Concert is EPIC!!

I think this was 2023 ❤ brilliant 🤩

Would love to hear them do the entire album in a concert setting. Question, The Voice, I'm Just a Singer In a Rock and Roll Band, The Other Side of Life, Your Wildest Dreams, Ride My See-Saw, Tuesday Afternoon you will enjoy them all.

All good recommendations here! This hits my top favorites from them.

You should do the whole album, it’s amazing

My favorite Moody Blues song is "Question" and my fav performance of it is Live at Red Rocks.

I had the pleasure of seeing the Moodies in concert three times, twice with a symphony orchestra. They were an incredible live band.

1967 was the Fillmore Auditorium's peak year. I was there for every performance. Moody Blues were one of the best, along with Procul Harum, Big Brother and the Holding Company with Janis Joplin, Cream with Eric Clapton and arguably the best drummer in the world, Ginger Baker, the Association, Sopwith Camel, and the list goes on and on. Bill Graham introduced Carlos Santana around that time, as well. Music was inspiring then. Our generation told stories and protested the worst in society. Peace and love were our mantra.

"Question" is another great song of this concert.

Awesome reaction, I love Justin Haywards voice and the emotional impact it has, I grew up listening to him in my childhood and now in my twilight.. Subscribed.

Remember laying in bed at night at a little girl in the 70s listening to this on the radio. They didn't play it much during the days because of the length so I would stay up late with the radio playing softly by my bed. Many a night I woke up to this song and songs like Starship Troopers by Yes. FM music at night in the 70s/80s was amazing.

From the same concert at the Royal Albert Hall, look at the song "Question" (actually it is the song that follows this one!). I think you'll find that to be great as well

This version is beautiful. I just wish they had included the Late Lament. Check out “Question,” by Moody Blues. You should check out “Silence And I” performed by Alan Parsons Project live at the Proms.

The poem at the end is named "Late Lament" and was originally spoken by Mike Pinder and written by drummer the late Graeme Edge. Listening to Nights in White Satin without the Late Lament at the end is like you're missing out on something very special. In this version, the concernt was opened with Late Lament and is completely missed in the song. This version was released in the 1970s on the album "The Very Best of the Moody Blues". kzread.info/dash/bejne/g2aKqpdmotS9qqw.htmlsi=FOzPyYq6TysQlzzG

You were three when I saw them the first of four times.

I’ve always loved the Moody Blues and I saw them live decades ago… incredible always! “Question” is one of my favor songs by them, but I love ALL their songs. Their full albums go from one amazing song to the next… You also would love “Your wildest dreams” and “The Voice.” Actually I could list all their songs! Thank you! Looking forward to more Moody Blues! ❤

"The Story In Your Eyes" is my favorite Moody Blues song but I also like, "The Voice", "Ride My See-Saw", "I'm Just A Singer In A Rock And Roll Band", "I Know You're Out There Somewhere", "Your Wildest Dreams" and "Tuesday Afternoon" (not necessarily in that order). I saw them in concert in 1987. Great concert.

Just fricken awesome

Have seen them 4 times - twice with a symphony supporting them. All were great shows.

When you consider how many years have lapsed front studio to live, the vocals blow you away

His voice has aged like fine wine.

I've seen them live 3 times back in the day....GREAT LIVE GROUP!

You have to remember rock was not the only genre we listened to so we didn't have to search it out in rock, all kinds of instruments played in rock right down to the tambourine. But every genre of music was hitting between 1960s through the 90s.

Been there ,done that. So wonderful to hear someone giving this the airing it deserves.

Fantastic reation

I was born around the time that album came out loved pop until i heard this song as a young teenager this song changed my whole musical taste ..cried when i first heard this song and still cry now a beautiful masterpiece ..Justins voice is incredible..still , musical talent is incredible .❤

Some of the music that came from the 60' and 70's is timeless and will never be forgotten. Some of today's artists should take time to listen to the older music. No autotune there and the broad range of music is awesome.

This piece is recognizable, immediately. It's one that is iconic and we all know the words, the breaks, and the bridges. I have always associated Moody Blues with knights in armor on chargers and damsels in distress. Moody Blues ........check out "For My Lady"

The Moody Blues was my very first concert, way back when I was 17 - no orchestra, but they killed.

I’m catching my breath, Again and again!

Such a great band with an extensive catalogue, still as good as ever!

The end always makes me hold my breath. Fantastic

The first time my husband saw them they were "stripped down," no orchestra, and he said while it was good it was sorely different in a not so good way. That was in the middle of the seventies. When he saw them again, twice in the nineties with full orchestra, it was fabulous!! One of our favorite bands from back in the day! Glad you enjoyed it!

I was lucky enough to see these guys in the 80’s, and they were just a “next level “ performance.

The actual song includes the orchestra at the end and also prose. That was beautiful. PLEASE react to Tuesday Afternoon by the Moody Blues.

You can buy the DVD of the entire concert. Moody Blues at The Royal Albert Hall. Check out The Story In Your Eyes from the same concert.

One of the things I watch your videos for is your excellent analysis, but also for the sensitivity with which you understand the meaning in a strictly artistic sense of the music of other generations, each generation captured a lot of content in music, not just musical. , but social and language beyond words, I congratulate you for being so receptive.

We had the best music

I still get chills! The poetry at the end of the song was missing here - "Breathe deep......" Beautiful.

Very cool to hear it w/ the orchestra to get the full sound the album had

Justin Hayward had another massive hit 'Forever Autumn' from Jeff Wayne's 'War Of The Worlds'!

I Believe it's this same Concert " Tuesday Afternoon " A MUST HEAR !!

The concert is on KZread and available on DVD and CD. When I saw it on KZread I bought both!

Question, The Story in Your Eyes, Driftwood, Never Comes the Day.....and everything else they ever recorded!!!

Seeing this live twice was life changing.I know that sounds cheesy,but it is one of the most beautiful ever written.

Bravo, an amazing performance, sounds as great as the original and and beautiful vocals by Justin.

💗💕💗💕 Moody Blues.

🇨🇦 1967 DJ's, Record producers, nobody thought this a hit ! It was too long, it was too slow, you can't dance to it, there were many reasons they thought it would fail ! But, they all forgot one thing ! Sitting at home with your Girl, this seductive piece was perfect for making out ! LOL It is interesting to note that while the Orchestra is not part of the group (obviously) the music and arrangements were all written (for all instruments) by the Moody Blues ! Recommendations ? Just a Singer in a Rock and Roll band or Ride my See Saw !

Also check out Marshall Tucker beyond Jethro, and a few others. Uses the flute. But this is another masterpiece, yet again. Leave it to the 70's. And most of the 60's of course.

I love the Moody Blues Song "I Know You're Out There Somewhere." Another one "Ride My SeeSaw".

"I know you're out there somewhere" is a sequel to "Your wildest dreams".

Agree with you about the flute. I was teen in the 70's and it seemed more popular at the time. Flute music is gorgeous, haunting, and many things. If you haven't already check out mama's and papa's music. Can't recall which songs. I'm sure there's many more from back in the day.

❤❤❤ This song is amazing

♥♥♥♥🔥🔥🔥🔥 okay - we got a hell yes from him this time !! LOL YES !

Yes, time for a deep rabbit hole dive into the Moody Blues. In your wildest dreams The story in your eyes Tuesday afternoon I'm just a singer in a rock 'n' roll band Ride my see-saw That should get you started.....

I don’t remember what year it was (but probably mid 1990s?), they toured the country but didn’t bring the orchestra with them, they got the local symphony in whatever city they were playing in to come in for the night & play with them. I was lucky enough to attend the show in Portland, ME & it was a thrill! And you really need to listen to the whole album, by yourself if you don’t want to do a reaction video of it, and hear the poem that comes after this song. It is so beautiful. Late Lament, I think it is called. Others here have said that the Moody Blues invented the concept album & Idk if that is true, but this album is definitely worth listening to all the way through. Give it a chance someday! 😄
