I'm 65 yrs old. heard this song all the time as a teenager. But now I'm "Listening" also. Incredible live performance. I appreciate them more now, than I did before.
me too and I am 68! I love these reactions for one reason is because I get reintroduced to music of my teen years.
Justin wrote this as a young man of only 19, who adored a lady from afar, and was too shy to approach her. Eventually he did. They married and are still married to this day
I've had this album for YEARS. The whole thing is brilliant. Days of Future Passed. Give it a listen.
This song was released near the end of 1967, and originally charted in 1968. Re-released in 1972 and rose even higher on the charts.
Wow! I remember this song as a teenager growing up in the 70s. This live version with the full orchestra is breathtaking - much richer than I remember. A classic!
Me too!! ❤❤
Was visiting my cousin in Colorado we got to see them at the Red Rocks Concert with the Colorado Symphony orchestra while there. Wonderful time by all.❤
@ wow. What a great experience!
Justin Hayward (lead singer) wrote this masterpiece when he was 19 years old. On the album the song ended with a gorgeous poem.
The poem embedded in the orchestral part toward the end is called The Late Lament. It was written by one of the band members. In one early release it was recited by Richard Harris (the first Dumbledore)
Once you've heard it, the song seems incomplete without it.

It's amazing how it hits you differently as an adult . We can appreciate the talent more now. I took had heard this song before, but this version when they are older really hits hard.
The Moody Blues like so many other groups and performers from that age of the 50s, 60s, and 70s, as they age, they are like fine wines. They just keep getting better. I am so glad I was part of that music generation. Each day, something new came across the airways, better than the previous day but not as good as tomorrow. What wonderful memories.
I didn't appreciate this ultimate masterpiece in my youth. When I was a teenager, I thought this was too long and dragged out. Now, I hear the wonder of each intricate note and it's like lightning! Awesome reaction! ❤❤❤
Beautiful song and amazing performance. Brings back teenage memories. Great reaction
🇨🇦 Imagine being British and not remembering some of your countries greatest bands !
Now you should react (under threat of flogging) to other great British bands like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Queen, the Hollies, more Moody Blues, the Kinks, Pink Floyd, the Who, Led Zeppelin, Procol Harum or the Animals, just to mention a few ! Good Luck ! 🇨🇦
I'm always grateful to Moody Blues for adding some classical sound to the normal rock and roll I always listened to at the time.
I was lucky enough to see them in concert about 20 years ago. It was amazing.
😎😎
I saw them on one of their reunion tours in the mid 90's. They still have it! They aged well.
Love this song
I saw them around the same time period on the video. Happy to say they sounded the same, incredible concert. Magical evening.
I've seen them live at least 15 times, from 1968 to 2004. An amazing band.
Thanks for an awe-inspiring reaction. Cannot even begin to tell you how many times I’ve listened to this song and it still evokes anemotional response, even 50+ years later. Really appreciate your recognition of this song as a classic.
Such a unique piece and beautiful song!!🎶🎵🔥
To Me, This Is A Epic Song! I Remember Hearing it on the Radio and Rushing out to Buy the 45 record. I still have it, Plus their album. 😊✌
This song is one of my all-time faves :). It was even used in an episode of the old TV show "Wiseguy."
A fantastic band and an epic legend of a song.
Oh my god, my body is shaking.🥺🥺 ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
An absolute classic. I knew you would recognize it as soon as it started, it was everywhere and easy to distinguish.
I have been listening to this song for so long. The Moody Blues helped me through difficult times when younger. I had all their albums. This song in particular never gets old.
Their "wildest dreams" is another good one 😊
To many to mention!😊
This live performance was in 2000, I think, but Justin Hayward first sang it on the album 'Days of Future Passed' in 1966/67
So many fantastic songs for you to check out - just a few listed below. You can't pin the Moody Blues down to just one genre!
Try: The Actor; What am I doing here; Meanwhile; I'm Just the Singer in a Rock and Roll Band; Question; Driftwood; The Story in Your Eyes; Gypsy.
Also check out Justin singing 'Forever Autumn' which first appeared on the 1978 version of Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds and then as a live stage performance in 2006
The 70s and 80s were so amazing. So MANY great bands and so many underrated. Glad to see them getting the recognition they deserve! What a great time to be alive and in love with music.
I really like watching these older groups getting back together in later years and adding depth to the original song. I think it would be a good niche to focus on for reactions.
Nights in White Satin is an all-time classic and the Moody Blues are one of the biggest bands of all time, though lack of airplay scuppered their sales from the 80s onwards.
This was popular in the 60's. Justin Hayward is a lot older here
Another great song from the 60's is Whiter Shade of Pale by Procul Harum. A group from the UK. Watch the performance live in Denmark in 2006(?)
This is my favorite song, of theirs. I bought that album, when I was in high school.
This was a performance at the Royal Albert Hall, all available on YT. The song immediately after this in the concert is also magical, "Question". Watch! I've been blessed to see them many, many (many) times, both with orchestra and without.
Tuesday Afternoon, I’m Just a Singer in a Rock ‘n’ Roll Band, The Voice, In Your Wildest Dreams, Ride My See-saw … and the list goes on forever
I got to see them live in Las Vegas around 86 or 87. They were just as good then. Best concerts ever. Thanks.
A phenomenal live performance! This was the first song I ever heard on a good pair of headphones, back in the mid-60s. I felt like I was sitting in the middle of the orchestra. The entire album this song is from "Days of Future Passed" is amazing. "Tuesday Afternoon" was another hit from that album. Thanks for playing this one.
Always loved this song. Thanks!
The eyes and ears of age percieve things very differently than those of youth.
Justin said it perfectly within the words:
"Beauty, I'd always missed with these eyes before."
I've seen them three times in my life and they are fabulous with an orchestral wonderland and mesmerizing as hell!
I graduated HS 1975, our Senior prom theme "Knights in White Satin "
Gods of Prog/symphonic rock.
1965, absolute masterpiece
Written in 1967!
Masterpiece
Love this performance !!!
I remember laying on my bed, headphones on and just floating away listening to their albums…………………
Oh Such a beautiful song and such a talented band!
One for the ages.
The studio version was brought out in 1967.
Seen the 'Moody's' several times,great live band!,although British they had most of their success in the 'States'!,around 80 million albums sold in all!,both Justin Hayward the lead guitarist & John Lodge on bass are still touring as solo artists,Hayward doing a lot from his solo work & a few Moody's songs where as Lodge is more into keeping the Moody's back catalogue of music alive mixed with some of his solo work!.
Brings back memories. I saw them in concert on September 29, 1971 in Vancouver BC Canada at the Pacific Coliseum.
Can't beat the classic's!!!!!
Progressive rock at its best!
When my daughter was a teen, she got tickets to see them live. I grew up with their music. She would not allow me to go with her. 😟
You should look for this concert. The whole thing is wonderful.
❤this song. First time ever hearing it live though. Glad you're back😊
The albums are journeys from one track to the next. We wanted better sound, recording and media technology because of bands like the Moody Blues that needed higher fidelity to best enjoy the music at home. (We call that being an "audiophile", a person who invests in best home entertainment to try and replicate studio or live performance.)
This song ends with the reading of a poem.
I was aware of the original album right when it came out in 1967. My sister had it, and I kept stealing it out of her room. I have had the privilege of attending multiple performances, from just Justin with flutist/backup singer at a small music hall in Nashville, Justin with just 3 backing musicians (his current touring band), the 7-member band for most of the 2000s, all the way up to several performances with a full orchestra. (No, I was not at the Royal Albert Hall that night; the commute from California is just a bit too much....)
The album, Days of Future Passed, is a wonderful concept album. Nights in White Satin is immortal.
Great reaction! You should listen to the version that has a poem at the end.
I saw them in concert in Honolulu in 1974. It was a great show. They were a lot younger than this video. 🌺🌴🌺
I'm enjoying watching tour reactions! I wonder what your reaction might be to "monsters", the heart wrenching song by James Blunt.
Cold hearted orb that rules the night, robs the colors from our sight, black is grey and yellow white - who's to say which one is right, and which illusion.
Love that part. ❤
For more Moody Blues I loved “Tuesday Afternoon “.
You might want to check “Todd Hoffman’s version of Sound of Silence as another take on that song🌺 I love your reactions ❤️❤️
Yeah, I love that one too. The whole album, "Days of Future Passed" is great!
Love this song ❤️
Very unique voice. The best voice I've ever heard was Jim Reeves "He'll have to go!" & "The Blizzard"
Some other songs are also about the singers lost love who left because he was on the road all the time.
❤️❤️❤️
Okay, now do Procol Harum, live in Denmark (for more of this kind of feeling). Love this channel, glad I subscribed.
Great song and reaction
There was jazz-rock fusion, blues-rock fusion, then there was this: orchestral fusion-rock fusion. I'm sure there was a big band fusion also, but I can't put a finger on a specific instance.
Even more interesting was Tomita's interpretation of classic symphony performed electronically. See "Snowflakes are dancing" or "Firebird".
Oof course you have! It's pretty much the only competition for LZ Stairway to Heaven for the best rock song of all time!😊
Should listen to album, In Search of the Lost Chord.
We had it as a teenager. Im 63 now. 😅😂
Hello Taylor Family. We definitely would like to meet your wife. Maybe tell us a brief info of your family -2 sons, 2 dogs & a cat type info. I love your response to the videos & it’s easy to see you have a great appreciation of music & talent.
I have a couple of suggestions first is KD LANG preforming at Vancouver Winter Olympics in 2010. Make sure to watch that performance. It’s outstanding. You will love it! Second is Red Sovine. He has 3 to listen to. Being a Veteran you maybe know this one Deck of Cards. The other 2 is Teddy Bear & Teddy Bears Last Ride. Crying is allowed as you will be teary after this. Thanks you for your channel. I very much enjoy your reactions.
1 more is TRACY BYRD -- The Truth About Men. It’s funny but have your wife listen to it as well. I’d love to see both your reactions.
Do the song, "Question", from the same concert.
They have a lot of good songs.
Alabama, "Feels so right"
Love the song and your reaction. Last night I watched the Live Aid concert I was up till 4am... could you please do anything by P!nk, the power of her vocal it's just tremendous. You could do anything by her I'm not picky cause I actually don't know a lot it's not my normal genre. She did cover Bobby Magee and even Zeppelin last night perfectly.
I always feel like people are puttin' me on, when they say they've never heard of Moody Blues or Nights In White Satin. For real? Wow, that's ....... I hear Twilight Zone music. Dang.
The only bad thing about the live version is not getting Vincent Price reading Edgar Allen Poe
Is it me or is this from a movie?🤔🥰
cackles in the shadows cold blooded orb
Look for David Allen Coe "The Ride" you'll like it!
"Fabulous" is not nearly enough.
Introduce your wife to Lobo.....start with"me and you and a dog named Boo"
I just don't get it, how can a person who might love music not know this song by The Moody blues🤔🎵🎶
Then try procul Harem, a Whiter Shade of Pale.
I can't believe you have never heard this song🙄🙄
I love the Moody Blues, saw them in concert way back when and it was great. Some of those notes coming at you from loud speakers in a stadium would vibrate your insides. Justin Hayward was the lead singer, but I actually preferred the singing of Ray Thomas. Sadly are all the members are gone now.
While it is true that the original members are gone, Justin Hayward and John Lodge are still very much alive.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE listen to Taylor Swift song RONAN it is beyond beautiful 😊
The studio version is much better.
Lyrics are dumb but the music is ethereal.
