After 50 years of life and music, I have narrowed it down to just listening to the Moody Blues. Their music is for many lifetimes over. Pure beauty to my heart and ears. Pure beauty. It means the world to me.
Maybe it's been said here before, but this is perfection of timing to the point of genius, a really tight band. You can visually see Justin listening for each note and timing everything everyone else is doing and they are timing to his lead, perfectly! He does it with the keenest of pleasure showing on his face as if he lives for hearing all the notes from everyone, not just himself. Every band leader should be as brilliant. John and Ray know how to fill in as many notes as possible to bring the most pleasure to our ears. BEST BAND, so far! Really tight, they were! Wonder if it could ever happen again
This really takes one back to the days when just the five band members on were stage but I enjoyed the larger productions with Norda Mullen, Julie Ragins, Gordie Marshall, and Alan Hewitt on stage live as well.. Being before Gordie Marshall became the second drummer on tour, one can see Graeme was a pretty darn good drummer on his own, probably much under rated. The tempo of Tuesday Afternoon seems a bit quicker than one hears on the "Lovely to See You" concert DVD. In my mind, the finest band ever and saw them live about twenty five times from 1978 (Providence RI) to 2018 at their final public appearance in Las Vegas. R.I.P. Ray and Graeme.
I have to disagree. I'm a Moodies fanatic myself, but like so many bands when they play live, they're playing this ever so slightly rushed, and as a result some of the critical pocket that gives the recording its feel is lost. It still sounds great, but they're in a bit of a hurry.
The "Band" lost their drummer Graeme Edge and flutist Ray Thomas. RIP guys. Thank you for being part of an incredible band. Justin Hayward and John Lodge are the surviving members. carrying the "torch" to continue the music. Their music is classic! Mike Pinder and Denny Laine left the lineup.
Thank you, Moody Blues “ for all the beautiful music you’ve put out for everyone to enjoy. Their music sounds just as good today as it did years ago, it never gets old & definitely beats all the other music out there today! Thank you, Pointreven for playing The Moody Blues “ music videos!👍👏👏👏♥️
Wow, this is an incredible performance. And they pulled out two gems, Driftwood and Talking out of Turn you rarely hear live. Moodies will live forever!!
@@designerlarry I was very impressed with strange times and december. barring tony clark producing when they took the reins and produced their own albums I felt yaay back to the original style ! what's to do ? take your guitar, pad of paper, write, record, sell the result. South Park is right! what do you need a company for ? nicer fountains ? IF that's even what's stopping them. Justin was asked, he said LONG AGO now, theres material, but I just dont know. I WANTTO HEAR IT ! They shouldve had 5 now since "December" I think the fans have got to speak out. write. etc
Those commenting here will appreciate how we get to see Justin's look and demeanor mature in his videos. He's just as beautiful, but there is a sexiness, confidence and maturity that we get to see develop that hasn't quite surfaced in earlier times. And then there's John in those leather pants! 💖
There aren't many "live" performances I enjoy as much as this. One thing that has always drawn me to the Moody's is that their concerts are true to their original songs - some enhancements here and there, but not over the top...Not every 3-4 minute song needs to be 10-15 minutes in concert.
They should have just made him an official member...he really brought them back to life....and after they kicked him out of the band in 1991, they went downhill. could it be karma?
Yes Patrick Moraz could have gotten more settlement than the measly 430k pounds. In the 13 years wd MB, he contributed much. Anyway MB offered 700k but moraz went to court asking 3 million
Yes, I love that they are always updating their classics. Tonight, I listened to their 1969 live Paris performance of “Tuesday Afternoon” - they played it almost like a ballad.
Cool performance with a gem in Driftwood live and John's Isnt life Strange, Talking Out of Turn classics...love the hit intro of Tuesday Afternoon...nice to hear The Voice done perfectly live by The Voice of Justin Hayward...great to see Ray with his harmonies and beautiful flute pieces. Love the sepia both Justin and John looking absolutely gorgeous, enjoying this video...thankyou, definately one for my Moodies playlist on here. 💙
Such a feast for the ears AND the eyes…how I wish I could have been there. I love how Hayward’s voice just soars on those sustained notes and how Lodge’s voice melds perfectly.
I was at this concert. Wembley Arena, November 1984 as part of their ‘Voices In The Sky’ UK tour for the charity NSPCC. It was filmed by the BBC. I was seated in the upper side tier near the stage on John Lodge’s side of the stage. A great concert. My favourite band and I’ve been a fan since 1969.
RIP Mike Pinder, you were a pioneer of the mellotron. No group has ever copied the sound of the Moodies. The song "The Voice", post Pinder, is my fav song cuz Voice Rd is a road in MI that leads to beautiful North Bar Lake that has great memories for me when I lived up there.
@@designerlarry from the court tv the Moodys did offer Patrick an equal share and be a Moody but he turned it down. Your right, he screwed himself. Hell of a keyboard player.
While it’s great to see the Moodies here, since they lost 3 key members, I don’t think Justin and John will ever return for a tribute concert. I love the way both of them took lead on Isn’t Life Strange. RIP, Ray, Graeme, Mike, Denny and Clint.
The Moody Blues are up for Induction into Rock n Roll Hall of Fame . Their Induction is Long Overdue . Fans are urged to please go to the Halls Website and Vote for the Induction of the Moody Blues . This is one omission by the Hall that that needs to be corrected .
Patrick was a great addition to this band although many would disagree. I doubt their live performances in the 80’s would have been half as good without him. Shame they fell out so badly.
There IS a Mellotron on this stage, the Model MK V , played by Moraz on "The Voice" . I have one, a M400 model, and the Model MK V is a double M400 side by side.
@@floydhelms44 , what I understand is Patrick Kept making side deal with his mgr. and in one case made more money than the Moodys on one tour. But they did offer him full partnership and he refused. in the court hearings.
This was perhaps Moraz's best work with the Moodies. Think of what Pinder would be doing on such a song. The Moodies always functioned best when the keyboardist was an integral part of the songs.
After 50 years of life and music, I have narrowed it down to just listening to the Moody Blues. Their music is for many lifetimes over. Pure beauty to my heart and ears. Pure beauty. It means the world to me.
Thanks for posting, with Ray and Graeme gone now, every one a treasure....

John Lodge is so highly underrated as a bassist. I think he is one of the best of all time!!
He just exudes joy on stage. We have been blessed by their music.
@martyc2637 Mr. Lodge's bass sounds HUGE on his solo album 10,000 Light Years!

I’m glad I found this channel. I’ve found bits and pieces of the Moodies in other places on YT but this is a find.

Wonderfully light years ahead.
The perfection is there.

The Blue Jays remain. Justin tours as a solo artist these days.
Don't forget Clint Warwick, too. R.I.P. Clint.😢😢

Justin is so 🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!! His voice is UNBELIEVEABLE, soft, sweet and a fabulous dresser❤️❤️..🥀🥀🥀🥀.. 2022...
Justin Hayward is the grounding force.
That voice. It's home to me.
Agree. Love their reactions to the Songs
Wow, this is an incredible performance. And they pulled out two gems, Driftwood and Talking out of Turn you rarely hear live. Moodies will live forever!!
The Musical GENIUS is not as shy and really starts to blossom!🧞♂️🌹
I noticed that too
Wonderful concert. Love the Moody Blues💖💖💖
This is one of the best live recordings-ever!
RIP Ray Thomas.
Congrats Moody Blues 2018
RRHF
About F'ing time!
For some new Moody Blues albums
hobby gamer very doubtful you'll see new music though I'd be curious what that will sound like. Those days of future are past.

Should have been long before then
Rip Ray Thomas.
I was born in 1986 brought up on Moody Blues. Love them forever ❤️
RAY ISN'T RESTING....HE'S TRAVELING ON "ETERNITY ROAD"....WE DON'T REST THERE.....WE ARE VERY BUSY THERE SWEETIE....WE WAKEUP THERE....🙏🐦👽😇❤🤗
great footage. what a find. :)
I can't believe how good this is.

What a dreamboat Justin is!!!
Justin’s from the George Harrison school of guitar,never play one more note than is necessary
Justin and George, are my favorites ❤❤❤
It worked!
Justin is a very beatiful man
Indeed he is.
Heaven sent.
And so is John!!
I named my son after him in 1976. In those days you never heard the name Justin.
DAVID WAS BORN JUSTIN TIME....DAVID BEING HIS FIRST NAME....🌊❄👽🙏🐦🤗👁👁❤😇
There aren't many "live" performances I enjoy as much as this. One thing that has always drawn me to the Moody's is that their concerts are true to their original songs - some enhancements here and there, but not over the top...Not every 3-4 minute song needs to be 10-15 minutes in concert.
Sometimes it's annoying when bands go off script. I want to hear songs the way they're recorded for the most part
My Husband and I Totally Understand & Agree !!!
I had a concert of theirs on VHS but don't use VHS anymore. Great to find these clips of them in concert on YT!!
Justin s voice is pitch perfect
Patrick's contribution is clear in this clip.
I agree, I especially like the use of the Mellotron.
They should have just made him an official member...he really brought them back to life....and after they kicked him out of the band in 1991, they went downhill.
could it be karma?

I love hearing the little tweaks in the songs over the decades. God Bless the Moody Blues for all the music that poured out of them into us!🥰🙏🏼❤️
Yes, I love that they are always updating their classics. Tonight, I listened to their 1969 live Paris performance of “Tuesday Afternoon” - they played it almost like a ballad.
Ray is so beautiful here.
Yes he is
Very good looking band.Very smart.Music is perfect.
They're excellent in concert

Like a hidden jewel you just keep Rediscovering.
I love this---the vintage black and white tones but it's crisp and modern at the same time...perfect.
Though it's not that old, 1985.it was on telly, was in colour!
i do love the mix - bass and guitar are very distinct - love Ray's vocals - which are soooo missed in concert [still missed - after so many years]
I remember this, thought it would have been released on dvd by now!
I had a VHS of them in concert. I know longer use VHS. So great to these YT clips. And some of the in the 60s which I'd never seen before.
My fav. Wish I'd been there.probably would have cried x
Such a feast for the ears AND the eyes…how I wish I could have been there. I love how Hayward’s voice just soars on those sustained notes and how Lodge’s voice melds perfectly.
The transitions between the different sections for Tuesday Afternoon were even more seamless and musical than the studio version. Fantastic.
Ole Jus was always massively underrated on guitar, tha knows
They sound so good here. Love them.
I was at this concert. Wembley Arena, November 1984 as part of their ‘Voices In The Sky’ UK tour for the charity NSPCC. It was filmed by the BBC. I was seated in the upper side tier near the stage on John Lodge’s side of the stage. A great concert. My favourite band and I’ve been a fan since 1969.
Just LOVE these gentlemen!
I've never seen them in person. I would love to go back to see this
💖 Wonderful.
Oh this is excellent! Great quality on the video and sound....and the Moodys, as always are perfect! Thanks Pointreven!
Hayward, the microphone is positioned perfect for you on this particular set.:)
I love all the Moody Blues. John Lodge Ray Thomas and Graham Edge. So glad they are in the rock and roll hall of Fame. So very deserving. 🙏🏻♥️🌹
Beautiful!!
Justin = Dreamboat
Thank you so very much for sharing this beautiful video!
Amazing then Amazing now !
woow this is good! love this tuesday afternoon verision!!
This is friggin good
This Was The First Moody Blues Concert I Attended ,Thursday 29th November 1984.
Thanks for dating this! Lucky you!!!
Amazing performance
The Voice always lifts me to the moon and back
God bless You and your family, Justin.
Love this look, hair style white shirt.Wonderful,and the words danced, danced, and danced.
Great quality! Thank you!
John Lodge high vocals and harmonies gave them such a great and distinctive sound
I write stories to music. Tuesday afternoon is one of them. Someday on dvd.
I love Justin's writing his beautiful voice. He is so very talented.🙏🏻♥️🌹seen the Moody's in the states. Best night of my life !!!
Isn't Life Strange for the win! How nice to see them without a kazillion backing musicians.
I agree with you 6828lu
All they would of needed would of been Mike Pinder!
@@chuckwerry7437 I agree - although Patrick Moraz was a brilliant musician, he was never really part of the band in the same way Mike was
It's a mesmerizing song!👌
Another one i didn't have, thank you!
Great recording and good choice of songs. TheMoodies are my favorite band.
1987ish? Such a joy.
So haunting...Isn't life strange...Absolutely beautiful!
I love You very much, God bless You forever.
Oh he's so gorgeous!
i like justin in black and white
Thank you Pointeven very beautiful video !!!!!
Just got to Justin in Phoenix Az, June 25, 2024 on a Tuesday Afternoon
He’s still got it….. that voice and guitar player
Moody Blues Forever !!
He is so cute
RIP Mike Pinder, you were a pioneer of the mellotron. No group has ever copied the sound of the Moodies. The song "The Voice", post Pinder, is my fav song cuz Voice Rd is a road in MI that leads to beautiful North Bar Lake that has great memories for me when I lived up there.
The Moody Blues brings me back, for some reason, to the Medieval era and it feels fine to me
I have a lifetime of a memory seeing this Band at Bill Grahams famed Fillmore East in NYC in march of 1970 not much has ever beat that night
Wow Patrick Moraz!
aloways underrated und makes a brilliant Job after Mike
Thank you - vielen Danke - Merci bcp!
It's pretty clear that Ray Thomas considered Moraz to be a member here.
Harmono he.brought him in. Shame all the bullshit greed and egos fucked up what's been a classic band
Moratz had his chance and blew it.
Russ4704 dunno what went down, but Patrick Moraz got screwed as well. He was a good replacement instrumentally for Mike Pinder.
@@designerlarry from the court tv the Moodys did offer Patrick an equal share and be a Moody but he turned it down. Your right, he screwed himself. Hell of a keyboard player.
It was Graeme who brought him in, not Ray.
Awesome
I missed this one! Thanks for the post!
Waauw this sounds amazing live. ❤
This band was so Remarkable to make Eachother Better, to sing into our hearts, they really made the song comelive on stage.
Trop bien ce concert vraiment un super groupe et de super musiciens
Et superbe voix😊😊😊😊😊
the same year I saw them in Pensacola I believe...
While it’s great to see the Moodies here, since they lost 3 key members, I don’t think Justin and John will ever return for a tribute concert. I love the way both of them took lead on Isn’t Life Strange.
RIP, Ray, Graeme, Mike, Denny and Clint.
There are an exceptional then The Moody Blues. And still are today.
The Moody Blues are up for Induction into Rock n Roll Hall of Fame . Their Induction is Long Overdue . Fans are urged to please go to the Halls Website and Vote for the Induction of the Moody Blues . This is one omission by the Hall that that needs to be corrected .
❤these impressed me already in the 70.s
I LOVE these guys!
Justin il.mio principe
This is great
is that a mellotron MK 5 Patrick Moraz uses? either way I love hes extensive use of the mellotron. it really suits the Moody blues style.
Patrick was a great addition to this band although many would disagree. I doubt their live performances in the 80’s would have been half as good without him. Shame they fell out so badly.
In the 60s the Moody Blues moved us to asking real "Questions"
I love You, JUSTIN.
I love You forever, You are very beautiful, Justin.
❤🙏
1986 concert full footage is what I long to see
For me, the keyboard here only “works” on songs written no earlier than 1981. Difficult to emulate the Mike Pinder and mellotron sound in the 1980s.
There IS a Mellotron on this stage, the Model MK V , played by Moraz on "The Voice" . I have one, a M400 model, and the Model MK V is a double M400 side by side.
mike was a god of the mellotron
@@jlgkl23 I saw that as well. he plays it on a lot of other songs to. :) nice seeing another Mellotron fan.
Moratz is trying to take over.
You are 100% correct. He ended up sueing The Moodies ,years later.
@@floydhelms44 , what I understand is Patrick Kept making side deal with his mgr. and in one case made more money than the Moodys on one tour. But they did offer him full partnership and he refused. in the court hearings.
This was perhaps Moraz's best work with the Moodies. Think of what Pinder would be doing on such a song. The Moodies always functioned best when the keyboardist was an integral part of the songs.
JOHN LODGES NEW SONG "CRAZY" IS DREADFUL.....I LOVE THE OLD MOODY BLUE'S......💞
Patrick Moran on KEYS!!!! Awesome!
