Indeed! This was "Pop Music" on the radio when I was a kid.

One of the great rock songs ever written. We were stunned by its beauty when it first came out. There is a part missing from this version, so you need to listen to the studio version to hear the whole thing.

There's Only one Justin Hayward!! And he's Still going!

When I watch young people watch music like this I realize how fortunate I was to be born in 1960 and to have grown up during the 60's and 70's. By the time I was 18, I'd heard some of the best music ever written simply by turning on my radio. I actually can't remember the first time I heard Nights in White Satin and so its imbedded in my soul as something that has always existed, much like songs like Stairway to Heaven and so much more. How lucky my generation was. And at the time, we took it all for granted.

Now here’s a guy that can recognize real music when he hears it! Nights in White Satin is a musical masterpiece!

I buried my brother today... And tonight you brought this song back to me. I can't stop crying, but I have to thank you JB. "Because I love you!!!" Such a primal scream. 💕

A hauntingly beautiful song. 😍

It is lovely to see your reaction to one of the most beautiful songs ever. Thank you James.

This song is one of the best ever made in history, as it brought back great memories from my childhood. Thank You for sharing your thoughts and reaction to this beautiful musical masterpiece by the Moody Blues. XO

It’s such a pleasure watching you discover the music I’ve loved all my life. Your reactions are priceless. You make me remember when I first heard this… and how I fell hopelessly in love with it that day.🐝🤗❤️

This guy has some of the deepest and most sincere reactions I've ever seen on here. Absolutely love it.

That look on your face is priceless. It's so great to see young people like you enjoying the music we grew up on. I can tell you are in awe of this music

You just have to listen to "Question", "I Know You're Out There Somewhere", and "The Other Side of Life". Actually, you really can't go wrong with any Moody Blues song.

Moody Blues were considered psychedelic rock back in my day. Justin Hayward's voice has more power with age and this sounds even better than their first release in 1967. Sadly the flutist Ray Thomas passed away in 2018 at the age of 76 and Co Founder and Drummer Graeme Edge passed away in 2021 at the age of 80. lead singer Justin Hayward is 75. Great reaction as always...

The proper listen is “Procession/Story in your Eyes”. MBs are a concept album band - one of the most musical and enduring- nicknamed The Veteran Cosmic Rockers.

The singer wrote this to a girl in high school. Never sent it but eventually married her and still is .

It is so wonderful to see you smile. Whatever you are doing for yourself KEEP IT UP!

Your face listening to this is an absolute picture 😍 It’s a truly beautiful song! ❤️🥰

Best reaction of all the young folks listening to this masterpiece. You have a musical soul. Love this.

No words can describe the beauty of this song. I'm so glad to have been on this earth when it first came out.

Listen to the extended studio version. There's a poetry section (starts out "Breathe deep the gathering gloom..."), and then there's a little something extra added to the big finish. On KZread this version is called "The Night".

I loved watching your reaction. Your face was filled with wonder! The Moody Blues are a classic rock band. My favorite song by them is "The Story In Your Eyes" ✌️🎶

Justin Hayward, the vocalist and writer of this song, is still touring. His voice is still amazing!

I think I've heard this almost every day since it first came out and it still gives me chills every time I hear it! You said it, this is real music! FABULOUS reaction!

This song was written forty years ago and it’s one of the most awesome songs ever written

My girlfriend gave me the album as a gift when it came out, and I did not know who they were, so I did not play the album. 3 Years later, I finally opened that album and listened to it. I was completely blown away, and have been a Moody since 1972. Their music comforted me during my time in the service and Vietnam. Yeah, they are great! Hope you listen to the full version on the album. You will not be disappointed.

Congratulations.. You have discovered the magic of the Moody Blues. Unlike anything before or after.

Showing off how GORGEOUS the blending of rock and symphonic music. They are the pioneers.

When I saw the start of the video, I noticed this was a live version, not the studio cut and I thought it might not be so good, but MAN, they brought their A-game!!! And the sound is phenomenal on the headphones I am listening on. The bass is really driving and melodic - perfect. I am not surprised how moved you were.

Beautiful yes? "Just what you want to be, you will be in the end." I lift up my arms and visualize sending waves of love accross the world with the chorus and when I need it I imagine the waves coming back to me. Lately I've needed it. Love never dies. 🎵☮️💜🤘

The Moody Blues live up to their name thru all their music taking you along for the ride in an emotional roller coaster of the highs and lows of their musical journey!

I love this band so much. Your reaction made me cry. This is what music is really about.

I so appreciate your reaction. You’re just lost in the moment. It feels so genuine. Hauntingly beautiful is the only way to describe this song. It was originally recorded in the late 60’s. Imagine that. No doubt, it ages well. So beautiful

This was a hit in '67 and again in the early 70's. A rare feat.

"Real music"? After 54 years I'm still listening.

Definitely one of the most beautiful songs and albums ever written! Whole album is a wonderful journey!

Moody Blues - have every album- Amazing Artists 🦅🔥🦅🔥🦅🔥

I first heard this song with my aunt when I was about 5. And I immediately fell in love with the song. I first saw them in concert when I was 30.

What a beautiful memory to have. It's amazing how the soul of a 5-year-old can grasp and be so deeply moved by a work of art, such as a piece of music like Nights in White Satin. People need to stop underestimating the understanding and depth of a child. They are truly capable humans who "get" it. I remember my own childhood moments. In my case, when I first heard "Rhapsody in Blue", I remember how deeply moved I was. It made such a huge impression on me, even though I had the musical knowledge or life experience of a mere child. Our spirits just know!

I've listened to this song countless times over the years, and I still get choked up every time.

J, your little intake of breath just a few seconds in said it all. The flute, the wails, the gorgeous crescendos...interspersed with those soft instrumental interludes that can lull you to sleep. It's one of the most beautiful mixes of rock and orchestra ever.

And yes, I still tear up listening to this song and I’m in my 60’s, all these years later, the beauty of”real music” 😎😎

Great song! This was very popular when I was in England many years ago! Afterwards it got very popular in the USA! Thank you, James! Take care. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I know a lot of friends in the military bought it, as you could hear it playing in the dorms in 69 and 70.

Moody Blues was of my teen years . Such an amazing talent. Justin Haywards vocals emit goosebumps .. especially this song. Late 60 and the 70s were the era of music that was stellar. Mind boggling stuff. I am stuck in this era to this day.( 63 yrs old music lover)

JAMES! You are the perfect person to react to this song! Your musical and emotional sensibilities are so refined and attuned to fully register the depth of this great music. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you!

Welcome to the music from my youth. I'm so glad that you're enjoying it - and there's so much more great music from the 1960s and 70s to discover

If you should decide to listen to their whole albums you will discover that they were perhaps the first rock band to use orchestral arrangements and spoken poetry in their music and sound. Their debut album in 1967 (this tune is on it), "Days of Future Passed" is legendary and meant to be listened to as a whole concept album experience about a single day from morning until night.

Great Reaction......and GREAT Recognition of Great Music. They've been performing this song for 50 years and it STILL Brings Chills. Rock and Roll HOF band performs with class and as you saw, appreciated by classy people like yourself.

Such a beautiful song..it gives me chills too. 💜

BRAVO! BRAVO! Awesome finale! You're not kidding, "This is real music."

Too much beauty in one song. I had the privilege of seeing them with a full orchestra many years ago. This video brings it all back. Love it, love it. Just beautiful. Your reaction is spot on. That’s The Moody Blues.

My introduction to them was when my sister gave me their album Seventh Sojourn for a birthday gift. I had the pleasure of attending one of their concerts when I was stationed in Hawaii in 1974. The concert hall had great acoustics and that flute sounded great from anywhere in the place. At the end of the first song they did the flute player suddenly noticed that there were people up behind the stage in the balcony. For the rest of the concert he faced that balcony which is were me and my date were seated. That poetry really gets to me now when he says "senior citizens wish they where young"'. I am mow 70. They had some great albums, Seventh Sojourn, Days of Future Past, To Our Children's Children's Children, Every Good Boy Deserves Favor.

So glad you chose this version. Well done. RIP Ray Thomas and Graeme Edge.

I always saw The Moody Blues as a real class act, poetry in motion and two steps ahead of a lot of groups of the 60 & 70’s era!!!!! Glad your enjoying it, keeping their music alive!!!

You should call your channel JBLETHAL Fearless Reactions. You are never afraid to show exactly what you feel! Great reaction as always your are one of the best!

so i commented before i listened and now after seeing your reaction, there is a lot to say. even after listening to the Moodies everyday since 1968, many of their songs still can bring a tear to my eyes. 16 studio albums, numerous solo albums and 7 concept albums in a row, the Moodies were considered the worlds smallest orchestra with the 5 of them playing up to 33 instruments on an album. many of their great songs have a Prelude song to them so the first seven albums should be played in full with headphones and a dark room. i enjoyed your reaction and have subscribed

I am seriously addicted to this song, hardcore. My late husband took me to see them on Mud Island in Memphis, small venue, very intimate and so nice and beautiful. It was a midsummer night I will never forget as long as I live.

What a beautiful reaction from someone who obviously feels the soul and meaning. I adore this song, I'm glad you enjoyed.❤

Your reaction says it all! Weren’t we privileged back then to all this glorious music 1st hand❤

I first heard this when I was 15 (I'm 70 now) and have travelled along the Moodies highway for all my life. I just wish I could hear it for the first time again. But then, having heard it over a thousand times it still gives me goosebumps. Also, I understand your reaction......beautiful music isn't it?

Amazing band, love ur reaction. They're up there with Yes & Pink Floyd as far as intricate compositions. ♥️💯😎

You are right. Doesn’t get better than this. Hauntingly beautiful.

JB.... This was played at my birth. Moody Blues is goosebumps and tears... It harmonizes w/ your emotions... Don't shy away... There's a whole world of such beautiful artistry. But few as heart touching as Moody Blues.

I'm sixty. I discovered the Moody Blues as a teenager, and have been listening to them ever since. Their first seven albums are legendary. Long Distance Voyager is also excellent. Sadly, nothing they did after that is worth listening to, but those first seven albums are masterpieces. This song is from "Days of Future Passed".

The smile that broke out on your face when the singing started is everything to me

I wish you could know how it feels to have come of age listening to this and so many other masterpieces of the pop music of that era and then to see someone like you appreciating it over 50 years later. Thank you!

At the end here the drummer recites a poem while the orchestra provides back ground music that even at 19 years old I found thought provoking: " Breath deep the gathering gloom, watch lights fade from every room. Bedsitter people sit back and lament, another days useless energy spent. Impassioned lovers wrestle as one, lonely man cry out for love but 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 colors from our sight, red is gray and yellow white, bur WE decide which is right, and which is an illusion." That was powerful stuff back in 1968! A lot of hits came off of that album!

Yours is my favorite reaction to this song. I cried when I heard them in concert and still get misty eyed when I hear it. Ahhh 🎉. I sooths my heart

Greatest musical generation the world has ever seen! It changed everything🌏💕✌

James, beautiful reaction, you took me back to when I first heard this as a young boy in 1968, it was such a profound musical experience, my progressive rock journey started right there. The Moody Blues are a wonderful band, their songwriting and in particular that of lead singer Justin Hayward who wrote this will mesmerize you. You're embarking on an epic journey of sublime musical discovery. Some other gems are "Tuesday Afternoon", "Question", "The story in your eyes" , "Watching and waiting" , "Ride my see saw" and "Legend of a mind" , enjoy the journey

64 yo guy here and have loved the band since the 60's Had all their albums

"Breathe deep the gathering gloom..." Back in the early 1970s I would burrow deep under the bed covers late at night, holding my mono radio very close to my ear so as not to wake my younger brother or anyone else in the house, and wait for the local rock station to play this song, wondering how any piece of music could be so magical and mysterious. You really do need to hear the complete studio version, with the poetic reading at the end, which starts with the line in quotations above. But more importantly, please don't ever lose the honesty and wonder of your reactions, JB...to both music and life.

❤ Love your reaction, I grew up listening to him in my childhood and now in my twilight still loving it, thank you for your review, subscribed.... This was the last performance by the entire group before the deaths of Drummer Graeme Charles Edge (11 November 2021), and Flutist and songwriter Ray Thomas (4 January 2018) Lead Singer and writer and guitarist Justin Hayward declared the band "over" after the death of the drummer. Justin Hayward continues to this day to bring new and past material to Audience with competent musicians. The Moody Blues legend Justin Hayward was awarded an OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) for his longstanding contribution to the arts by King Charles III at the July 11, 2023 Investitures ceremony at Windsor Castle. Ie: I've had a friend that lived in Swindon, where Justin grew up in, he has refused to admit to a relationship there, well someone in particular but he wrote Nights In White Satin after receiving Satin Sheets by a lover at 19 years old and by the late 80s when he tried to return and wrote the song, "In Your Wildest Dreams, 1986", (production told him your too old but he insisted to star himself in the video)... admits you can never return home,.. Things change, people do too, and so time stands in defiance of... us ❤️ this was quite a change and a testimony to time vs.. US.

Justin Hayward and the band sound just as good, in this modern day concert , as they did back when this song came out in 1967. ❤

His voice is just as good now as it was back then and he's in his 70s now. Justin (the lead singer) wrote Nights in White Satin when he was 19 years old after a breakup with a girlfriend who had given him a set of white satin bed sheets. The song was released in 1967. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018.

In the 50+yrs of listening to this beautiful song, one of my all time favorites, it still brings tears to my eyes

You happen to have chosen my favorite song of all time. 💜💜💜💜💜

Yes, I have seen them perform this live 3 times in my life, it is really magical live, the flute pierces through the air, the audience is rapt, stunning musical genius.

I'm so humbled & grateful that I grew up during the very best generation of music! I'm so very happy to see your generation is finally discovering and enjoying it.

Some truly awesome music from the mid-to-late 1960s...in the space of about 12-months, we got this epic song, "Sergeant Pepper" from The Beatles, "Pet Sounds" from the Beach Boys, and "Whiter Shade of Pale" from Procul Harum, just to name a few. Your reactions always bring me back to the time when I first heard this music. As you say, this is "real music," not some electronically-massaged dreck. Excellent review, as always!

I have loved the moody blues since I was 17 and still love them today at 65.

And I can still recite the poem (epilogue) at the end of the song. 💕💕💕
