Maaaan please rract to gloria by the doors, but you have to react to the cool version and Morrison had a police trouble for singing it right so please men. The doors is one of thr best psychedelic bands and have this organ also you love. ua-cam.com/video/xis84YBN5F0/v-deo.html
Next do Question I had this album 50 years ago at the age of 10 played it in a stack with Iron Butterfly Live, Jimi Hendrix Axis Bold As Love and Santana III
Justin Hayward, the singer has a ytube thing on Tuesday afternoons with stories about how their songs came to be. Just FYI, all. A fun discussion is was Days of Future Passed, or Sgt Pepper's the beginning of prog/concept rock?
@@marimcge nope. just don't think a lot of YOUNG black men listen to the moody blues is all i mean . and to see that music cross cultures, like al green, marvin gaye, the isley brothers and many many more did with me, is fantastic . it proves that we really are all one . have a wonderful day .
@@cweefy Well you’ll be amazed. The point was stop making assumptions. Second point please stop referring to someone’s skin color as defining their culture. This is American music and as Americans we all listen!!!
This is when people were actual artists. Singers, songwriters and musicians. They didn't "sample" other artists work. They did there own. They were original.
I'm a 70- year-old lady and this was "my music" as a young adult (saw them in concert, still love it). Your commentary on this masterpiece was priceless. I laughed until tears were running down my cheeks. Glad you've discovered the Moody Blues, so glad I discovered you. Cheers!...from a new subscriber.
Ms.Linda 57 here n have seen them live too.Watching Mr.Jamel enjoy what we grew up luvn is priceless he truly enjoys it n is very honest with his reactions.God bless
As a photographer, I covered one of these performances for a newspaper in Northwest Indiana. Though I had heard these tunes back when I was a teenager I garnered a whole new appreciation for them when I heard them live. I downloaded them from from Napster afterward.
My wife and I saw them on our 25th Wedding Anniversary with the Rockford, IL Symphony, 26 June 1997. I scored center, front row seats for us. Nights in White Satin is "Our Song."
Remember mate when peeps said you need to listen to Pink Floyd albums rather than songs... ahhhh so it goes with the Moody Blues. This song is from the album Days of Future Pass... which basically covers the journey of a day. This was one of the first concept albums and the use of a proper orchestra to support a band as well as heavy use of the mellotron. The Moodies became associated with concept albums such as 'A Question of Balance.' as well as being associated with art and progressive rock.
The album cover from In Search of the Lost Chord was my favorite, I think. I went to the Long Distance Voyager (Remember Gemini Dream and The Voice?) concert in ?1990? And another MB concert before that one....(198X?)
You can tell it from the way its structured.. They used the keys of an orchestral movement, complete with samples/allusions to other songs on the album.
Actually, it’s Days of Future Passed. Still have the CD somewhere. I got to see them doing the whole album live with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. An amazing show!
Please study this whole album. Not just on the channel, but in your "off time" as well. I use this album as a music theory tool, and as an English/Poetry appreciation tool, for my daughter's lessons. She's 15 and loves this entire album. During my study of this album I have found 4 ways of viewing the story line: A day in a life. A life in a day. The life of a love. The love of a life. The entire piece is one continuous circle, where the opening sound is the closing sound, but backwards. Fading into existence where it faded out. I have been studying this album since 1990, and diacussing it with my daughter for a few uears now. Reliving the discoveries I've made over the years through her joy if discovering something new about the album. Enjoy the ride.
The second half of this is a whole other song, BTW, called "Time to Get Away." Further down the Moodies rabbit hole: "Ride My See-Saw" "Legend of a Mind" "The Dream"/"Have You Heard (Part 1)"/"The Voyage"/"Have You Heard (Part 2)" "Higher and Higher" "Gypsy (Of a Strange and Distant Time)" "And the Tide Rushes In" "The Story in Your Eyes" "My Song" "Isn't Life Strange" "I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock 'n' Roll Band)"
As a HUGE Moody Blues fan of over 50 years, I will tell you much of them if you'd like to know. "Tuesday Afternoon" is part of the concept album, "Days of Future Passed" (1967). The album was the first of its kind to fuse rock and classical music together. Unbeknownst to the record label, Decca, the way it recorded, the 5 members of Moodies, along with producer Tony Clarke, hired several studio musicians (credited on the record as 'The London Festival Orchestra'). This album was one of the first true stereo one. Jamal, you asked if they were high? The Moody Blues released FOUR studio albums in barely over 24 months between Nov 1967- Nov 1969, all of which were concept albums. The Moodies have many, many songs that are hits, per se. Most of which were written by Justin Hayward. Nights in White Satin, Voices in the Sky, The Actor, Lovely to See You, Are You Sitting Comfortably?, Never Comes the Day, Gypsy, Watching and Waiting, Question, The Story in Your Eyes, The Land of Make-Believe, Driftwood, The Voice, Blue World, Your Wildest Dreams, I Know You're Out There Somewhere, Say It With Love, and one of my favorite songs, Forever Autumn (a non-Moodies song). And those are only songs by Justin Hayward! Now, if you'd like to add songs by the other 4 Moody Blues band members (3 of which also sang lead vocals on their songs). You can tell now how much I love this group!! 💙💙💙💙💙
Thanks for your comment, Justine! I got a huge kick out of Jamal's reaction. I'm a HUGE Moody Blues and Justin Hayward fan myself - nice to "meet" you here!
You consider yourself a fan of theirs and not include...for example, the whole album "On the Threshold of a Dream", then...the list goes on and on and on...
@@shawnkilbane6693 you don't know me and to post a reply to me like that is mean. How many tattoos dedicated to the Moodies do YOU have? I've loved this band since I first heard "Nights in White Satin" in 1967!! I was 8!! 💙
Listening to the Moody Blues is like walking through all the stages of one's life. Their music encapsulates the variety of human emotions which is why, unfortunately, many people don't find them overly appealing. There is also their eerie, uncanny sound. It makes you ruminate your existence in a way which only great music can do.
It seems to be tied in with Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and The Moody Blues' Days of Future Passed that seem to have more meaning as I've grown older.
@Natalia Their Live at Red Rocks was a great album. My mum loves MB and I listened to a lot of it but it's only as I've grown older that I see what she saw and understand it better. I've noticed that with a lot of music that I loved I now can understand it at a deeper level.
The Moody Blues are one of the greatest band's out there ! They were so good to help relax me after Viet Nam ! They are good at setting up your mood, to help you calm down and take a breath ! They can make you happy or make you cry ! Song's like, The Tide Rushes In , Watching and Waiting ! You can get very emotional listening to !
@@Wolverines77 that's actually Justin's solo work... for a BBC project... Not taking anything away from you, I regularly pine for their music and those days, best band ever.
saw them at the Royal Albert Hall in 2002 and they were absolutely magnificent. Some 50years since i first saw them at the legendary Isle of Wight '70 fest.
I grew up with these songs. They played a 50th Anniversary tour of the "Days of Future Passed" album in 2017. It was a fantastic concert hearing the entire album played in order (plus other great hits). They still sounded great 50 years later.
This is what was called: “Album Rock”. It was not uncommon for Album Rock radio stations to play whole album side at one time, and full album without a break. Instead of “Singles” cut at 3:30 minutes. Many albums were pretty much the whole side of the record. RUSH, with their Pts.1-3, And others. This was fairly common. I love your channel. I here long forgotten songs and have to add them to my Playlists.😁 Music is an international language all it’s own. It also possesses healing powers, and brings people together - all people. Also, it’s hard for people to fight, when everyone is dancing.😁 Love your channel. 📻🙂
There was a small underground FM station a couple of blocks from where we lived, back about ‘74. They’d just put on an album and wander off every once in a while, leaving some dead air until someone noticed. We’d go over, hang out with the DJs, smoke a doobie, have a beer. It was a very different time.
I was one of the DJs that would put on a side. Actually, I was there to assist with the news but as with a lot of radio stations if someone didn't show up, you were the DJ. It was a very special time and you could never do what we did in the early 1970's. Whenever a new album would come out, like Zeplin or Floyd or Moody Blues and others, we would advertise we were presenting the whole album (usually at midnight on a Friday or Saturday) and we would get big Arbitron numbers for the timeslot. Also, you could spend more time with your girlfriend in the control room because you were usually the only one there.
joonzville Yeah, there were a few around. We had a Collage station that would do most anything. KWUR- U.R.-90.3 Washington University, St.Louis. I lived near enough, and had a good enough radio to pull it in most of the time, though technically [just] outside of their coverage range, considered “ fringe “ area. They did some crazy things❗️ Stuff NO ONE could ever get away with. 📻😁
The Moody Blues were the first (along with the Beatles) to bring a symphonic element to rock ‘n roll. But make no mistake - these guys could rock the house. Check out “The Story in Your Eyes” or “I’m Just A Singer in A Rock and Roll Band.” Their song “Question” has some extreme highs and lows, making it a fascinating musical ride. And of course their classic “Nights In White Satin” is a crowning achievement. And we’ll never forget their debut hit, “Go Now.” One of the often overlooked groups of the ‘60s/‘70s, the Moody Blues belong in the top ten rock groups of all time. PS: You’d be surprised at all the great music that was written by people who were high at the time. ;-)
Of course you are my bright little star, I've pile of file, pretty files of you forefathers fruit, and now to suit our great computer, your magnetic ink. I'm more then that, at least I must be. There you go man keep as cool as you can it riles them to believe that your perceive the webs they weave and keep on thinking free.
@@rondias6625 yep, it's annoying. Like Kravitz doing American Woman, video had scantily clad women, I don't think he realized or just decided to bastardized it. American Women is a protest song against the Vietnam war. And so many do remixes totally butchering classics.
@@woodrose50 all they can see these days are dollar signs..they are clueless to what was really going on and why songs were written in the first place..
"Breathe deep the gathering gloom...." "Days of Future Passed" was like a composition with many movements... not an album with individual, unrelated cuts.
A unique band, with members of singular talent. Another song of theirs I really like is called "My Song." People often overlook them as the pioneers in mixing electronics and psychedelics.
This is actually two songs, afternoon and evening, what comes next is sun set, twilight time and the night (Nights in White Satin). The story of the album is quite interesting. The record company wanted to show off their stereo sound (which was rather new in 1967). The record company wanted the MB to work with a symphony orchestra on a version a classical work (I think Vivaldi's four seasons). The Moodies didn't want to do that, they already had a concept of songs that told the story of a day in the life. So the record company agreed to record their Days of Future Passed with songs about times of day, and have a composer (Peter Knight) provide symphonic segments to transition between songs. The use of the Mellotron (tape recording of strings) and flute playing by Ray Thomas of the Moodies, made the songs by the band sound a lot like the orchestra, so it flowed together almost seamlessly. The album is a timeless masterpiece. Oh hell yes, we hippies got stoned and often spent the whole evening listening to Moody Blues records (sometimes with a little King Crimson or Yes thrown in too).
The band famously was supposed to be working on a rock version of Dvorak’s “New World Symphony” for Decca Records, but asked for privacy from the studio. They talked the conductor for the symphony into creating arrangements for their stageshow, and then recorded their own concept album instead in one week. The orchestra created arrangements that wound each song together into the concept of one day in the life of a man. Justin Hayward has a magnificent voice. He has often talked about the effects of drugs on his work, but they added, and didn’t detract, from what he created back then. It was like lightning in a bottle.
"Y'all be floatin'." Not necessarily, but it is good music for just sitting somewhere, closing your eyes, and letting the music carry you away all on its own. As you said, it is a journey. Hopefully you enjoyed it though. :D
Yes it is good music to "float" with. But there are ways to float, that don't involve drugs...yes? The Moody blues Solidly, Represent Rock and Roll. a music style that changed the course of civilization that cant be said about Jazz or Classical music ! from playing in bars in England the band now has symphony orchestras around the world, playing symphonic versions of these old "hippy drug songs" ...
"This was written by lead singer Justin Hayward, who explained: "I sat down in a field, smoked a funny African cigarette, and that song just came out. It was a Tuesday afternoon." My older brother had all their albums and played them all the time. To me they were okay, but you really could not skate to them as I based most of the music I liked back there by what I could skate to.
@@christinerobinson548 basically what it boils down to is a big roller skater.. if you know anything about The Moody Blues LOL that's not music you really roller skate to... so basically if com editor did not think he could roller skate to the band or the songs then they weren't that good to him.
Remember, this was one of the first “concept” albums and one of the first to use a full symphony. It was their first album and it tracked a typical day from dawn to night
You are helping us all, including yourself, at this time, when we are all dealing with a lot of life's problems. I hope you're growing spiritually from this gift of music. We love you Jamel.
“The Moodies” are considered “psychedelic/folk music” & were very popular through the 60’s & 70’s-even had a song or two on the charts in the 80’s!! I think I owned almost all of “The Moodies” albums & love them all! Justin Hayward’s addition to/band was quintessential & changed everything! Tuesday Afternoon is from the album “Days Of Future Passed” recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra & basically was an album describing a day in the life of creation-day, night, seasons, time, etc.
Hey Jamel, I also grew up in this era and OMG!!! Their music, the poetry, the classical touch seemed to me like they were a step above and beyond . A total experience!!! Take a bow Moody Blues, your music will last forever!!! So beautiful man!!!! I’d never, ever get tired of their music, so many songs you gotta listen to!!!!!!
@@welshwitch2126 I can relate to your experience of the song. I likewise sense something very elegiac, plaintive about the song. It bespeaks that time of life which one would like to return to but cannot do so. Like a cold, misty autumn day whose colours and fragrances invoke remembrance of things past which infuse one with a sense both of elation and melancholy.
Talk about memories flooding back! Hours spent listening to wonderful mind-bending music. Long live the music of an era that changed the world! And yes I was stoned and I liked it!!!!! Stay kind to each other!!!!!!!!!!
When my parents saw them live back in the early 90's, they had the whole London Symphony backing them. My dad said the only band to outshine the Moody Blues in concert was Pink Floyd.
The first three albums I serial listened to as a kid, were, Sly & The Family Stone's Greatest Hits, The Blues Brothers' Briefcase Full of Blues and The Moody Blues' Days of Future Past. Days of Future Past is definitely an acid trip on vinyl.
One of my favourite bands of all time. Seeing them live in concert with our local symphony performing at an outside venue under the stars was AMAZING . Glad you enjoyed all the nuances of the Moody Blues ❤️
My favorite off this album. Lots of good Moodies music out there. "I'm just beginning to see now I'm on my way; it doesn't matter to me chasing the clouds away" Beautiful. And yes he was high; he wrote a song Question that is tuned in open C and Justin said "that's what you can do when you're trippin and play regular chord shapes in an off tuning" or words to that effect. Remember the old saying if you can remember the 60s you weren't really there.
That moment when you find yourself staring out the windshield to see what's ahead and you realize you should have been looking out of the passenger window the whole time.
Hey Jamel, this album is continuous, start to finish, taking you through all stages of the day. It starts in the morning and finishes at night (Nights in White Satin). All songs are bridged by studio orchestra (session musicians) called The London Festival Orchestra, so there is no silence between songs. You actually played two songs which are often linked together on Sirius XM. Forever Afternoon (Tuesday?) and (Evening) Time to Get Away. They are bridged by the session orchestra so it is continuous. If you played it on vinyl, these songs would have been the beginning of side two. If you haven’t, check out the entire album. Truly a masterpiece!
I had the privilege to see these guys during their Red Rocks tour in the 90's and their Strange Times tour in 1999. Both times they toured with a symphony orchestra. This was my mother's favorite band of all time and it was an honor to see them in concert. They were one of the first, if not the first rock bands to intertwine the rock genre with classical symphonics.
This song is from one of the most iconic and best albums my ears have had the pleasure of listening to. "Days Of Future Passed" Musical candy for the soul with elements of rock intertwined with classical cues...by the way the lead vocal is Justin Hayward....
Moody Blues always had that haunting sound to their music almost eerie. They were ahead of their time. Got to see them twice and they put on a great show both times. Great music and yes it was great growing up with all this great music. You ought to check out some of the old Motown artist back in the sixties.
Been watching you for about a month now and have to say you're a credit to the human race! Appreciate that you are willing to listen to and embrace music from my generation. In other words, I had this album when it first came out on vinyl! Thanks for all you do!
Days of Future Passed was one of the earliest concept albums in rock. Each song is part of the day. The most famous is the Night in Nights in White Satin.
I'm only 35, but the Moody Blues were my first concert when I was in second grade maybe? They're me and my mom's band. Every time I hear them, I think of her, and whenever they come through town we go see them together
lots of the Prog bands from that era had transitions in their music like this (Yes, Rush, Emerson Lake and Palmer etc) ...they were compositions reminiscent of classical compositions done by the great composers.....epic stuff
OMG..."All this is going down on a Tuesday?" Hah...the look on your face when the song continued after the Disney section...this ain't just the "long version"; actually, you went into a separate, different song! Rolled into "Evening (Time to Get Away). DAYS OF FUTURE PAST (correction: PASSED) is a concept album, and the songs flow into each other. (The theme is "a day in the life"...) It's an album that's really designed to be listened to as a whole.
Thank you. I like this guy, but I always end up yelling at him for not doing any basic research before he listens to something completely unknown to him.
These songs are from the B Side of Days of Future Passed. Some years ago, I had the good fortune of regularly performing the entire B side with a magical three piece band with an extremely talented bass player and guitarist. I'll always be grateful for the experience. I still love listening to it and it still brings me to the verge of tears.
"GO NOW"-Circa 1964(?) "Story In Your Eyes" "Ride My Seesaw" "I'm Just A Singer In A Rock And Roll Band" "Your Wildest Dreams" - For some reason I like the official video.
Jamal, this album was released when I was 20. I was at a party with my girlfriend and we were both spaced out on our first hit of LSD and laying on the floor. Days of Future Passed came on and we were mesmerized by the sound, something we'd never heard before. I was hooked for like on the Moody Blues.
This album is the journey of one day. Offline listen to it alone with headphones in a dim room. It’s excellent.btw u did more than just Tuesday Afternoon
Days of future passed is one of the best concept albums of all time. As with most concept albums, while the individual tracks can stand on their own, they are intended to be heard as a composite, in sequence. Back in the day I would use "Dawn is a Feeling" as my alarm clock ringer.
It warms my heart to hear a young man such as yourself listening and reviewing some good classic rock! Thank you for the review! I grew up with this music and most of my library contains music of this age and type. Thank you again!
Listening to the Moody Blues was always a journey to a place you'd like to be...It's a state of mind - maybe an altered state of mind! Man, I like your shirt too...
Jamal, the expressions on your face starting at 6:03 makes me think you wish you were born in 1960 and heard this for the first time in the 6th grade like I did!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🎼🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
Listening to/ watching these reactions to songs we grew up with makes me feel young again. I hope and pray that you are having a good day. God's Peace to you and all here!
It was the '70's. Everyone was stoned. I was born in 1990 and my dad introduced me to this music. You don't need to smoke pot to appreciate good music of any genre.
I lost 99.999% of everything I owned to a cat 5 hurricane but, I did manage to get out with one album,( yes I saved an album) and it was the very last album The Moody Blues put out called Every Good Boy Deserves Favor
3 weeks ago, a fire storm blazed through where I live in Oregon, my grand daughter helping me to evacuate - I pointed to my signed Moody Blues poster insisting " If it doesn't go I don't go "

It was very very cool, and very very interesting! Never a dull moment...
Groovey
For all the problems that the '60s had I trade everything I have to be back there as opposed to this crap that's going on today...
This is when people were actual artists. Singers, songwriters and musicians. They didn't "sample" other artists work. They did there own. They were original.
So cool I never left.The truth of the space,love,oneness, the Moodies conveyed is always present.Thank you MB's.

Ditto!😊
Justin Hayward is one of the best voices in rock. VERY underrated.
Anthony, I was 13 when I first heard Justin sing. Honestly it really was like his voice descended from heaven. I never never tire of hearing him sing.
Don't forget Ray Thomas! I always loved his rich baritone voice.
Couldn't agree more Anthony. Forever Autumn...
AND a criminally underrated guitarist
I was not aware they were underrated ... I highly rated them ... read their bio ...
In the 1990s, the Moody Blues toured the nation and performed with each city's symphony orchestra. Talk about a majestic experience
It was fantastic! My departed Wife and I saw them in Orlando, truely magical.
Saw that tour
As a photographer, I covered one of these performances for a newspaper in Northwest Indiana. Though I had heard these tunes back when I was a teenager I garnered a whole new appreciation for them when I heard them live. I downloaded them from from Napster afterward.
Been to a few of those shows. They were brilliant and magical.
My wife and I saw them on our 25th Wedding Anniversary with the Rockford, IL Symphony, 26 June 1997. I scored center, front row seats for us.
Nights in White Satin is "Our Song."
Justin Hayward. One of the greatest rock voices of all time. And the Moody's harmonies are epic.

Please study this whole album. Not just on the channel, but in your "off time" as well. I use this album as a music theory tool, and as an English/Poetry appreciation tool, for my daughter's lessons. She's 15 and loves this entire album. During my study of this album I have found 4 ways of viewing the story line:
A day in a life.
A life in a day.
The life of a love.
The love of a life.
The entire piece is one continuous circle, where the opening sound is the closing sound, but backwards. Fading into existence where it faded out. I have been studying this album since 1990, and diacussing it with my daughter for a few uears now. Reliving the discoveries I've made over the years through her joy if discovering something new about the album. Enjoy the ride.
Omg never thought about it this way!!! AMAZING
Love it.
This is an album that really needs to be listened to from start to finish. A true work of art. Similar to The Dark Side of the Moon.
Could you tell me how you use it as a music theory tool? There's so much inspired harmony, mostly in Pinder's Mellotron and Lodge's bass parts.
The second half of this is a whole other song, BTW, called "Time to Get Away."
Further down the Moodies rabbit hole:
"Ride My See-Saw"
"Legend of a Mind"
"The Dream"/"Have You Heard (Part 1)"/"The Voyage"/"Have You Heard (Part 2)"
"Higher and Higher"
"Gypsy (Of a Strange and Distant Time)"
"And the Tide Rushes In"
"The Story in Your Eyes"
"My Song"
"Isn't Life Strange"
"I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock 'n' Roll Band)"
You beat me to Just A Singer !
"Dear Diary" "Lazy Day" "Floating" "Out and in"
I love Mike Pinder's Out and In.
@@FVD that entire album is a masterpiece...
ComeOnIsSuchAJoy I’d add Questions to that list otherwise excellent primer on them.
As a HUGE Moody Blues fan of over 50 years, I will tell you much of them if you'd like to know. "Tuesday Afternoon" is part of the concept album, "Days of Future Passed" (1967). The album was the first of its kind to fuse rock and classical music together. Unbeknownst to the record label, Decca, the way it recorded, the 5 members of Moodies, along with producer Tony Clarke, hired several studio musicians (credited on the record as 'The London Festival Orchestra'). This album was one of the first true stereo one.
Jamal, you asked if they were high? The Moody Blues released FOUR studio albums in barely over 24 months between Nov 1967- Nov 1969, all of which were concept albums. The Moodies have many, many songs that are hits, per se. Most of which were written by Justin Hayward. Nights in White Satin, Voices in the Sky, The Actor, Lovely to See You, Are You Sitting Comfortably?, Never Comes the Day, Gypsy, Watching and Waiting, Question, The Story in Your Eyes, The Land of Make-Believe, Driftwood, The Voice, Blue World, Your Wildest Dreams, I Know You're Out There Somewhere, Say It With Love, and one of my favorite songs, Forever Autumn (a non-Moodies song). And those are only songs by Justin Hayward! Now, if you'd like to add songs by the other 4 Moody Blues band members (3 of which also sang lead vocals on their songs). You can tell now how much I love this group!! 💙💙💙💙💙
Thanks for your comment, Justine! I got a huge kick out of Jamal's reaction. I'm a HUGE Moody Blues and Justin Hayward fan myself - nice to "meet" you here!
,@ Justine April. Like Bring Me No Wine, one of my favourites.
...and don't forget Go Now...
You consider yourself a fan of theirs and not include...for example, the whole album "On the Threshold of a Dream", then...the list goes on and on and on...
@@shawnkilbane6693 you don't know me and to post a reply to me like that is mean. How many tattoos dedicated to the Moodies do YOU have? I've loved this band since I first heard "Nights in White Satin" in 1967!! I was 8!! 💙
Many nights I listened to the entire album front to back and trees were involved. It's a masterpiece
I can't begin to explain what memories this invokes. (I'm weeping inside for my lost youth.)
I would only want to go back to my youth if I had the chance to do things better.
Let me in that time machine with you.
we all are
Worth being old.
Me too
Listening to the Moody Blues is like walking through all the stages of one's life. Their music encapsulates the variety of human emotions which is why, unfortunately, many people don't find them overly appealing. There is also their eerie, uncanny sound. It makes you ruminate your existence in a way which only great music can do.
It seems to be tied in with Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and The Moody Blues' Days of Future Passed that seem to have more meaning as I've grown older.
They have always been one of my fav bands.
@Natalia Their Live at Red Rocks was a great album. My mum loves MB and I listened to a lot of it but it's only as I've grown older that I see what she saw and understand it better. I've noticed that with a lot of music that I loved I now can understand it at a deeper level.
Beautiful comment!
Beautifully said. Reminds me of my childhood and my dad, who passed away last January.😢😢 Incredible song. 🎶
The Moody Blues are one of the greatest band's out there ! They were so good to help relax me after Viet Nam ! They are good at setting up your mood, to help you calm down and take a breath ! They can make you happy or make you cry ! Song's like, The Tide Rushes In , Watching and Waiting ! You can get very emotional listening to !
Yes!
I did not get into them until the mid 80s. They have a great sound.
I get tears in my eyes from Mr. Thomas's flute....
Finally you found this masterpiece. There is nothing like this band anywhere. The are so unique. I love this song.
Saw them in live in an Art Noveau theater in South Bend, Indiana about 4 years ago...BEST CONCERT EVER in my 66 years of life! Truth...
As much as I love their popular hits, my favorite tune of theirs is "Forever Autumn"...
@@Wolverines77 that's actually Justin's solo work... for a BBC project... Not taking anything away from you, I regularly pine for their music and those days, best band ever.
For me the Blues are up there with bands like Queen, The Doors, The Beatles & The Stones
Amen. Began in 1964. 'Cept for a brief hiatus in the 70s steadily working and touring. With no scandals or overdoses just quietly, steadily working.
saw them at the Royal Albert Hall in 2002 and they were absolutely magnificent.
Some 50years since i first saw them at the legendary Isle of Wight '70 fest.
I couldnt agree more 😀
The Moody Blues don't even breath the same air as the others, esp. Queen. I detest any noise from the Moody Blues... Pitiful group.
@@TheTussman, then you're a real jerk.
One of my all time favorite songs ever. This one will NEVER get old. Brings me to tears every time.
Listen to the entire “Days of Future Passed” album - the whole album merges like that
This album is another one that must be listened to from beginning to end (with headphones). It changed lives and is a sonic experience.
Totally agree, for its time 1967, it was amazing; the sound and production was ahead of the game.
@@Jack-D-Ripper the year I was born 1967. Hard to believe. That’s when you had to have talent.
@@shotgunblast28 i was 11 and just starting Senior School. 🙂
I grew up with these songs. They played a 50th Anniversary tour of the "Days of Future Passed" album in 2017. It was a fantastic concert hearing the entire album played in order (plus other great hits). They still sounded great 50 years later.
The question is never "were they high", but "HOW HIGH WERE THEY"?
Saw them in concert early 80s and 2 tabs in I was watching the concert from above the stage. ✌🏻❤
Lol. Way high 😂😂😂
No Shit!!!
high, high ,HIGH. is another one of their songs
Not too high to make great music.
The Moody Blues were just so damned good. The best, most creative music came out of the late '60s.
This is what was called:
“Album Rock”. It was not uncommon for
Album Rock radio stations to play whole album side at one time, and full album without a break. Instead of
“Singles” cut at 3:30 minutes. Many albums were pretty much the whole side of the record.
RUSH, with their Pts.1-3,
And others. This was fairly common.
I love your channel. I here long forgotten songs and have to add them to my Playlists.😁
Music is an international language all it’s own. It also possesses healing powers, and brings people together - all people. Also, it’s hard for people to fight, when everyone is dancing.😁
Love your channel.
📻🙂
There was a small underground FM station a couple of blocks from where we lived, back about ‘74. They’d just put on an album and wander off every once in a while, leaving some dead air until someone noticed. We’d go over, hang out with the DJs, smoke a doobie, have a beer. It was a very different time.
@@joonzville I might have been one of those people. Was it in San Diego? Album rock made the late night go easier.
I was one of the DJs that would put on a side. Actually, I was there to assist with the news but as with a lot of radio stations if someone didn't show up, you were the DJ. It was a very special time and you could never do what we did in the early 1970's. Whenever a new album would come out, like Zeplin or Floyd or Moody Blues and others, we would advertise we were presenting the whole album (usually at midnight on a Friday or Saturday) and we would get big Arbitron numbers for the timeslot. Also, you could spend more time with your girlfriend in the control room because you were usually the only one there.

What radio station did you work at❓❓

joonzville
Yeah, there were a few around.
We had a Collage station that would do most anything.
KWUR- U.R.-90.3
Washington University, St.Louis. I lived near enough, and had a good enough radio to pull it in most of the time, though technically [just] outside of their coverage range, considered “ fringe “ area. They did some crazy things❗️
Stuff NO ONE could ever get away with.

Thomas Richard Oh, yes. Donovan, please Jamel.
Been my favorite band since 1967. They are The Moody Blues. You need to listen to them at least once a day.
They have the power to make you be a good human !
"All of this is going down on a Tuesday?!" Yes, sir...it sure is.
Troy Reichert 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Classic Jamal!!
I had a report to do in High School Humanities class : " The Good Man ,The Good Society". This was one of the songs used !! 👍😁
Yup. Lovin it
Oh! Yeah! Nothing sounds like the Moody Blues. Lots to explore.
The Moody Blues were the first (along with the Beatles) to bring a symphonic element to rock ‘n roll. But make no mistake - these guys could rock the house. Check out “The Story in Your Eyes” or “I’m Just A Singer in A Rock and Roll Band.” Their song “Question” has some extreme highs and lows, making it a fascinating musical ride. And of course their classic “Nights In White Satin” is a crowning achievement. And we’ll never forget their debut hit, “Go Now.” One of the often overlooked groups of the ‘60s/‘70s, the Moody Blues belong in the top ten rock groups of all time. PS: You’d be surprised at all the great music that was written by people who were high at the time. ;-)
"nights in white satin", "ride my see-saw", and "melancholy man" are all must listens.
Of course you are my bright little star, I've pile of file, pretty files of you forefathers fruit, and now to suit our great computer, your magnetic ink. I'm more then that, at least I must be. There you go man keep as cool as you can it riles them to believe that your perceive the webs they weave and keep on thinking free.
@@woodrose50 thats it isnt it..there arent anymore truely free thinkers these days..just copy cats...✌
@@rondias6625 yep, it's annoying. Like Kravitz doing American Woman, video had scantily clad women, I don't think he realized or just decided to bastardized it. American Women is a protest song against the Vietnam war. And so many do remixes totally butchering classics.
@@woodrose50 all they can see these days are dollar signs..they are clueless to what was really going on and why songs were written in the first place..
Dont forget "question"
This song is one amazing masterpiece. Every part of it is music to the ears. It's truly like digging up buried treasures from the past!
Moody Blues was known as "The smallest symphony orchestra around" due to the number or instruments they played.
True but this album used an orchestra of underpaid musicians from the London Symphony Orchestra who were recruited and directed by Peter Knight.
High as hell here. You, me, Moody Blues, coffee and my bong. It's a FANTASTIC Tuesday in my world! How about the rest of y'all!?!?
I wish!! Enjoy. 🤩
@@PaintedCavern I'll pull one for ya, brother!
Here goes.....
Enjoying a mimosa! Cheers eh! 🇨🇦❤️
I’d like to join your world! 😀

"Breathe deep the gathering gloom...." "Days of Future Passed" was like a composition with many movements... not an album with individual, unrelated cuts.
This type of music is what happens when 5 brilliant musicians get together to create music that touches the soul.
A unique band, with members of singular talent. Another song of theirs I really like is called "My Song." People often overlook them as the pioneers in mixing electronics and psychedelics.
This is actually two songs, afternoon and evening, what comes next is sun set, twilight time and the night (Nights in White Satin). The story of the album is quite interesting. The record company wanted to show off their stereo sound (which was rather new in 1967). The record company wanted the MB to work with a symphony orchestra on a version a classical work (I think Vivaldi's four seasons). The Moodies didn't want to do that, they already had a concept of songs that told the story of a day in the life. So the record company agreed to record their Days of Future Passed with songs about times of day, and have a composer (Peter Knight) provide symphonic segments to transition between songs. The use of the Mellotron (tape recording of strings) and flute playing by Ray Thomas of the Moodies, made the songs by the band sound a lot like the orchestra, so it flowed together almost seamlessly. The album is a timeless masterpiece.
Oh hell yes, we hippies got stoned and often spent the whole evening listening to Moody Blues records (sometimes with a little King Crimson or Yes thrown in too).
It was actually Dvorcak's "New World Symphony," not Vivaldi. 😊
And it was the amazing Mike Pinder on Mellotron. Who later taught Paul McCartney....
I was around at that time and I remember. And yes, we always got stoned to the Moody Blues
@@DG-uh8uv I was just 2 when the album came out, and didn't discover it until the 1980s -- and immediately became a huge fan of the Moodys....
I'm still listening at 70.
DUDE!!!!!! Moody Blues " Story in your Eyes". Good message for the world today.
Thank you thank you thank you this is one of my favorite songs by them I think you're going to love it
I love the Moody Blues live. To be so immersed in their musical journey is delightful.
The band famously was supposed to be working on a rock version of Dvorak’s “New World Symphony” for Decca Records, but asked for privacy from the studio. They talked the conductor for the symphony into creating arrangements for their stageshow, and then recorded their own concept album instead in one week. The orchestra created arrangements that wound each song together into the concept of one day in the life of a man.
Justin Hayward has a magnificent voice. He has often talked about the effects of drugs on his work, but they added, and didn’t detract, from what he created back then. It was like lightning in a bottle.
"Y'all be floatin'." Not necessarily, but it is good music for just sitting somewhere, closing your eyes, and letting the music carry you away all on its own. As you said, it is a journey. Hopefully you enjoyed it though. :D
Yes it is good music to "float" with. But there are ways to float, that don't involve drugs...yes? The Moody blues Solidly, Represent Rock and Roll. a music style that changed the course of civilization that cant be said about Jazz or Classical music ! from playing in bars in England the band now has symphony orchestras around the world, playing symphonic versions of these old "hippy drug songs" ...
My parents loved the moody blues, and they were “floating” too LOL
This is "the" song for me. I love everything they do/did but this one just grabbed my soul and has never let go.
"This was written by lead singer Justin Hayward, who explained: "I sat down in a field, smoked a funny African cigarette, and that song just came out. It was a Tuesday afternoon." My older brother had all their albums and played them all the time. To me they were okay, but you really could not skate to them as I based most of the music I liked back there by what I could skate to.
yes indeed Justin like the weed he talked about that during the making of nights and white satin too LOL..
I kind of want to experience a funny cigarette. Lol
Yeah. I'll have what he's having!😃✌
What does the second have of your last sentence mean? It's going to bug me until I find out.
@@christinerobinson548 basically what it boils down to is a big roller skater..
if you know anything about The Moody Blues LOL that's not music you really roller skate to...
so basically if com editor did not think he could roller skate to the band or the songs then they weren't that good to him.
Remember, this was one of the first “concept” albums and one of the first to use a full symphony. It was their first album and it tracked a typical day from dawn to night
You are helping us all, including yourself, at this time, when we are all dealing with a lot of life's problems. I hope you're growing spiritually from this gift of music.
We love you Jamel.
One of my friends suggest listening to this whole album outdoors, with good earbuds, at sunset.
He was right.
I’m doing that right now!
Of course he was...it's Days of Future Passed! 😘
“The Moodies” are considered “psychedelic/folk music” & were very popular through the 60’s & 70’s-even had a song or two on the charts in the 80’s!!
I think I owned almost all of “The Moodies” albums & love them all!
Justin Hayward’s addition to/band was quintessential & changed everything!
Tuesday Afternoon is from the album “Days Of Future Passed” recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra & basically was an album describing a day in the life of creation-day, night, seasons, time, etc.
I have most and John Lodge /Justin Haywards Bluejay album.
Actually there was no London Symphony Orchestra..it was just called that..And it's about a day in an average person's life..
Hey Jamel, I also grew up in this era and OMG!!! Their music, the poetry, the classical touch seemed to me like they were a step above and beyond . A total experience!!! Take a bow Moody Blues, your music will last forever!!! So beautiful man!!!! I’d never, ever get tired of their music, so many songs you gotta listen to!!!!!!
"How many songs in here?"
Well, I see you've entered the prog-rock realm, Jamel!
He made reference to thinking how many songs were in the intro of Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding.
@@jonnuanez2843 Yes, I remember that one.
More songs than Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody possessed - yet still never receiving proper recognition!
Since it's autumn I'd recommend "Forever Autumn," it was a part of The War of the Worlds soundtrack.
Beautiful song
I just wrote the same suggestion!
It would be awesome if he reacted to the entire War Of The Worlds...
This is one of my favorite songs ever. Sometimes it makes me cry because I associate it with losing my dad. Don’t know why, but I do.
@@welshwitch2126 I can relate to your experience of the song. I likewise sense something very elegiac, plaintive about the song. It bespeaks that time of life which one would like to return to but cannot do so. Like a cold, misty autumn day whose colours and fragrances invoke remembrance of things past which infuse one with a sense both of elation and melancholy.
Oh your face is pure joy. It's like looking at my grand children seeing things for the first time. Beautiful
Seven classic albums in five years, birth of prog rock here.
You should check out "Question" by Moody Blues next. Great track.
Great video as always Jamel!
Talk about memories flooding back! Hours spent listening to wonderful mind-bending music. Long live the music of an era that changed the world! And yes I was stoned and I liked it!!!!! Stay kind to each other!!!!!!!!!!
When my parents saw them live back in the early 90's, they had the whole London Symphony backing them. My dad said the only band to outshine the Moody Blues in concert was Pink Floyd.
Saw them in '93 (I think) with the Rockford Symphony Orchestra. Place just reeked of Mary Jane. I was pregnant, so...but I still had a blast!
My wife and I saw them 3 times at Jones Beach Theatre with the Long Island philharmonic backing them. Phenomenal!
Mike Pinder and the mellotron - honey for the ears!
An underrated master of the mellotron! Few used it better!
@@chadpollet7452 Pinder is a brilliant composer.
My fathers favorite band. In 2021 still brings me so many smiles.
The moody blues are so underrated
They are in the hall of fame. Not underrated.
Yes.
@@Shawney-jf6kc the hall of fame is not the be all and end all
The first three albums I serial listened to as a kid, were, Sly & The Family Stone's Greatest Hits, The Blues Brothers' Briefcase Full of Blues and The Moody Blues' Days of Future Past. Days of Future Past is definitely an acid trip on vinyl.
Acid Rock.
One of my favourite bands of all time. Seeing them live in concert with our local symphony performing at an outside venue under the stars was AMAZING .
Glad you enjoyed all the nuances of the Moody Blues ❤️
My favorite off this album. Lots of good Moodies music out there. "I'm just beginning to see now I'm on my way; it doesn't matter to me chasing the clouds away" Beautiful. And yes he was high; he wrote a song Question that is tuned in open C and Justin said "that's what you can do when you're trippin and play regular chord shapes in an off tuning" or words to that effect. Remember the old saying if you can remember the 60s you weren't really there.
“Nights in White Satin”...the perfect make-out backdrop.
Indeed! 💋
Well, I’m in my 60’s now and listened to this in the 70’s. Days of future past indeed. I never get tired of it.
"Question" and "Story In Your Eyes" are great songs of theirs.
Tuesday Afternoon and Story in your Eyes are my two favorites of theirs.
That moment when you find yourself staring out the windshield to see what's ahead and you realize you should have been looking out of the passenger window the whole time.
The whole country was a little high back then! I was there. :}
A little high?? The trees are talking to him, explaining it all with a sigh.
I’d rather listen to trees than humans today...🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey Jamel, this album is continuous, start to finish, taking you through all stages of the day. It starts in the morning and finishes at night (Nights in White Satin). All songs are bridged by studio orchestra (session musicians) called The London Festival Orchestra, so there is no silence between songs. You actually played two songs which are often linked together on Sirius XM. Forever Afternoon (Tuesday?) and (Evening) Time to Get Away. They are bridged by the session orchestra so it is continuous. If you played it on vinyl, these songs would have been the beginning of side two. If you haven’t, check out the entire album. Truly a masterpiece!
I had the privilege to see these guys during their Red Rocks tour in the 90's and their Strange Times tour in 1999. Both times they toured with a symphony orchestra. This was my mother's favorite band of all time and it was an honor to see them in concert. They were one of the first, if not the first rock bands to intertwine the rock genre with classical symphonics.
I have seen them at Red Rocks many times, it's the perfect setting.
First listen, thousandth listen; I will never get tired of this song. Gets me every time. Same with the rest of the album, DAYS OF FUTURE PAST.
This song is from one of the most iconic and best albums my ears have had the pleasure of listening to. "Days Of Future Passed" Musical candy for the soul with elements of rock intertwined with classical cues...by the way the lead vocal is Justin Hayward....
The Moody Blues songs are an experience of emotions... they were/are pure genius if you ask me.
Moody Blues always had that haunting sound to their music almost eerie. They were ahead of their time. Got to see them twice and they put on a great show both times. Great music and yes it was great growing up with all this great music. You ought to check out some of the old Motown artist back in the sixties.
Day's of future past is supposed to be a total experience. When you get to play the WHOLE album it will make a lot more sense to you.
Been watching you for about a month now and have to say you're a credit to the human race! Appreciate that you are willing to listen to and embrace music from my generation. In other words, I had this album when it first came out on vinyl! Thanks for all you do!
Days of Future Passed was one of the earliest concept albums in rock. Each song is part of the day. The most famous is the Night in Nights in White Satin.
The extended version of Nights in White Satin is the best too.
Bingo
Nights in White Satin is such an awesome song!
Nights in White Satin was a bigger hit and got more airplay. But I always felt Tuesday Afternoon was a hair better.
I'm only 35, but the Moody Blues were my first concert when I was in second grade maybe? They're me and my mom's band. Every time I hear them, I think of her, and whenever they come through town we go see them together
lots of the Prog bands from that era had transitions in their music like this (Yes, Rush, Emerson Lake and Palmer etc) ...they were compositions reminiscent of classical compositions done by the great composers.....epic stuff
Please do “I’m just a singer in a rock & roll band” next by them.
OMG..."All this is going down on a Tuesday?" Hah...the look on your face when the song continued after the Disney section...this ain't just the "long version"; actually, you went into a separate, different song! Rolled into "Evening (Time to Get Away). DAYS OF FUTURE PAST (correction: PASSED) is a concept album, and the songs flow into each other. (The theme is "a day in the life"...)
It's an album that's really designed to be listened to as a whole.
Thank you. I like this guy, but I always end up yelling at him for not doing any basic research before he listens to something completely unknown to him.
BTW, It's "Days of Future Passed" - not "Past"
@@sschmidtevalue good eye
@@beckiru but, that's the point in his videos; to get a fresh and unbiased view of old and unfamiliar music
These songs are from the B Side of Days of Future Passed. Some years ago, I had the good fortune of regularly performing the entire B side with a magical three piece band with an extremely talented bass player and guitarist. I'll always be grateful for the experience. I still love listening to it and it still brings me to the verge of tears.
DUDE!!!!! Cat Stephen's ""Peace Train". Another good message for the world today.
.
....ohhhhhh, absoLUTEly...:)!
Yes! And Love Train, by the O'Jays! Both have positive messages, just right for Jamel's channel.

"GO NOW"-Circa 1964(?)
"Story In Your Eyes"
"Ride My Seesaw"
"I'm Just A Singer In A Rock And Roll Band"
"Your Wildest Dreams" - For some reason I like the official video.
Rabbit hole
Jamal, this album was released when I was 20. I was at a party with my girlfriend and we were both spaced out on our first hit of LSD and laying on the floor. Days of Future Passed came on and we were mesmerized by the sound, something we'd never heard before. I was hooked for like on the Moody Blues.
This album is the journey of one day. Offline listen to it alone with headphones in a dim room. It’s excellent.btw u did more than just Tuesday Afternoon
Days of future passed is one of the best concept albums of all time. As with most concept albums, while the individual tracks can stand on their own, they are intended to be heard as a composite, in sequence. Back in the day I would use "Dawn is a Feeling" as my alarm clock ringer.
It warms my heart to hear a young man such as yourself listening and reviewing some good classic rock! Thank you for the review! I grew up with this music and most of my library contains music of this age and type. Thank you again!

In your wildest dreams
Nights in white satin
If you want a real treat, listen to the entire Days of Future Passed start to finish. Amazing!
Absolutely love the poem at the end. I actually had it memorized at one time. Could probably still recite most of it....
Listening to the Moody Blues was always a journey to a place you'd like to be...It's a state of mind - maybe an altered state of mind! Man, I like your shirt too...
Jamal, the expressions on your face starting at 6:03 makes me think you wish you were born in 1960 and heard this for the first time in the 6th grade like I did!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🎼🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
Listening to/ watching these reactions to songs we grew up with makes me feel young again.
I hope and pray that you are having a good day.
God's Peace to you and all here!
Just like me. Timeless band. Jamel Jamal made me laugh several times with his reactions too.
Moody blues songs always took you away somewhere. Love the hook of the shuffle.
Always remember Tuesday is the best day of the week. Why? Because it is the furthest you can get from the next Monday.
That's true!
I'm off Mondays, so doesn't apply to me, lol
Jamel, "Your Wildest Dreams" and "I'm Just A Singer" are next for you!
Yes, " Your Wildest Dreams" is one of those songs that makes me feel better no matter what you're going through.
It was the '70's. Everyone was stoned.
I was born in 1990 and my dad introduced me to this music.
You don't need to smoke pot to appreciate good music of any genre.
This album came out in 1967....
This song kicks ass.
I lost 99.999% of everything I owned to a cat 5 hurricane but, I did manage to get out with one album,( yes I saved an album) and it was the very last album The Moody Blues put out called Every Good Boy Deserves Favor
3 weeks ago, a fire storm blazed through where I live in Oregon, my grand daughter helping me to evacuate - I pointed to my signed Moody Blues poster insisting " If it doesn't go I don't go "
@@TommyFoundation Well... priorities and all!
Damn, I'm just glad that you and TommyFoundation made it out okay and are still alive to tell the tale. Be well, friends!
Beautiful 1968 song … never get tired of listening to this one .. 😊
listening to the whole album is just like watching a movie
