The Moody Blues!👍👏👏👏👏👏 weren’t they Great? These videos of them on UA-cam makes my life happier!💖🌸💖💙💙💙💙💙
NEVER get tired of the Moodies. After 50+ years...listening to them virtually every single day...NEVER tired of the Moody Blues. To me, Justin still sounds amazing...still looks amazing. He had a tummy now and I swear , I LOVE IT! Graeme has got to have the most gorgeous head of silver hair...second to Donald Sutherland...and John...he STILL makes playing the bass look like anyone could do it. But that's a big nope. No one does it like John Lodge. And it still amazes me...after all these years, obtaining the success they have obtained, they STILL act like the guys who live just round the block. I miss Ray. Ray reminds me of my brother, who passed away three weeks before Ray did. I miss both of them. But...I NEVER get tired of the Moody Blues. Probably never will.
@ Capismama: Is everything correct, I agree with you. Unfortunately, there is one major eyesore: How did they treat the dear and awesome Patrick Moraz?! What he did for the Moody Blues on keyboards was or is a gem! Do you know this story?
I've loved Justin from day 1, which he was about 25 when I was born, and I grew up with them, always loved the Moody Blues So much. They're truly genious, magical, ancient souls. Such a privilege to be on the planet with them
RIP Michael Pinder Best of the Keyboardist.
I truly love The Moody Blues!!!!!!!!
Amazing how these guys continue to tour year after year and still be motivated to perform as well as they do
Was there and loved it. Loved their music in college in the early 70's. It was the sophistication and the noble symphony of their music. They ushered in Jetro Tull and others. The Moody Blues created a new genre of rock and gave old rock a new challenge. Love it, Herb.
You, Mr. Hayward was runner in school. Won awards for running speeds!
And then hoist stunning writer developed into the greatest writer I know. Yet, he stayed so silent.
My hats off to you Mr. Hayward.
I love Ray and miss him. I am happy I got to see him perform many times. Norda is awesome and a good addition to the stage show but hearing Ray sing, "Timothy Leary's dead............" was one of the big moments in their shows. Glad we have an internet and videos. Bless you Ray.
The best band ever!!!!!!!! 💙💙💙💙💙...
Many, as well as I, thought that Jimmy Page was the best guitarist. WRONG! Justin Hayward is not only the best guitarist but also he has a heart 💖
I have seen The Moody Blues live ! They are fantastic ! Real musicians !
Дякую улюбленому гурту!Ви в формі,ви класні!!!
The Moodies. Greatest group ever!
I always love,his music since I was very young, thanks
Absolutely awesome No other comment needed .Saw them at the Usher Hall in Edinburg more that 50 years ago. I'm older and my hair is grey, but the music is still as good.
audio glitches don't matter that much here, this is pure heaven's spectacle; besides, we all know these songs, like we know diamonds, pearls and turquoise; Norda's supreme confidence, the Keyboard Artists and The Drummer, wow; the Moodies Nouveau, the Moody Blues reborn again and again: Beautiful
Fantastic job, Steve! So glad you were able to upload the whole show. Great memories!
that flautist is really something. Love the Moodies! Each song is an impeccable jewel
Good to see John sing!!
the Moody Blues are tied for 1st with the Beatles as my all time favorite bands. thanks for sharing.
see, an old man can still find gems in this slide zone
They have still got it!! Great music!
Had so many albums in the 70's!
Thank you for posting! I just came across this yesterday while looking for something to get psyched up for seeing the Moodies on Apr. 1 in Niagara Falls! This did it! Fantastic!
We were there and loved it!!!!
Nice concert.
*Missing them so much*
Thanks for uploading this.. I was there... Have been waiting for them to come back to Houston since.,.
Thks so much for including a setlist!! Parts of my brain were shaped by listening to this band late at night on FM radio ca 1971-74 -- the stereo in headphones was amazing.
So much time given to the flute player. Thx for upload anyway
THAT WAS AWESOME !!! (just watched it all) INCREDIBLE !!!
I was there.Thanks so much for posting. Wish they would come back to Houston soon.
Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, in The Woodlands is north of Houston and it is an outdoor venue. Its freaking hot here in Texas! Justin is gonna die in that sweater!
Thx for sharing this video with us!
Thank you very much for this great video, I am a spanish old fan, I never saw The Moddies live, but I love them since the seventies. Muchas gracias +++++
Very good video. I have seen them many times since 1990, Yes I was very late in really dicovering them. But I was born in 63 so. Last time I seen them in concert was May 13ths 2011. I'm going to be at their opening night show in Vegas at the Venetian "Nights In Las Vegas" October 7th. 2016
good to hear pal, I was born in '64, seen the band 10? times since '86. they grow on you, eh? First discovered the M Bs listening to an instrumental of "Nights in White Satin", '84 or '85!
Vejo a trajetoria deste grupo e outros e penso ,com carinho,que com Elvis tudo começou.E dai´a musica jovem chega até os dias de hoje,cad vez melhor.Ouco tudo isso ,inclusive até o pesado Dead Metal.Obrigado Elvis Presley,o Pai.
I love the M.Blues but missed too much Ray Thomas RIP Ray. Now your boat is sailing in calm waters.
Yes I'll love you
I wonder how many youngsters know the Moodies! They just don't get old
I have always loved these guys, miss Ray, and realize that Justin's show at the Greenwich Odeum is postponed. Now the real ticket is to be on the Blue Cruise leaving Miami on April 1, 2020. It was too pricey for me but the next time I win the lottery I will be there. Carry on.
.... Legends... Having Fun...
Re pre-recorded parts, it's hard to be sure with the fluctuating sound quality, but I owuld give the band the benefit of any doubt. In busy sections of a song, it's easy and common enough for a guitarist to lay arpeggios and bass parts off onto a keyboard player, and with modern sampling techniques you be hard put to hear the difference.
And regarding "switching the guitar on and off", Hayward is simply switching between pickups. One of the joys of an ES-335 (similarly to a Les Paul) is that you can individually pre-set a gain setting for each pickup, and thus toggle between rhythm and lead settings simply by flicking the selector switch.
***** if you play at all, its pretty obvious that what we're hearing is 100% live. John is just a bloody good bassist and makes it look easy. Since he switched to the Jazz you can really hear his parts cutting through, so there's no doubt its live.
richard tofts i was in second row from the front in Toronto a few years back and my god they were soooo awesome live and my dad and I loved our seats. the boys were right there
Can't wait till the cruise............I am booked and bags are packed.....It should be awsome!!! Moody Blues Cruise March 20-25,2013 to Grand Cayman and Jamaica. Also on the cruise, Asia, Ambrosia, Prog Collective, Strawbs, among others... Saw them in Austin. Amazing concert. Thanks for the video...
Wonderful, Wonderful ,Wonderful!! Thanks for sharing!!
I love the Moody Blues.
Sad that ray had to pass but got to hand it to Norda Mullen.
Saw them five years ago in Manchester UK and her energy on the stage is phenonemal.
Had to research later and was staggered to hear that she was 50!!!
Had the kids guessing and they had to be encouraged to get out of her twenties.
She must be mid fifties here.
The Moody Blues are Magick! Saw them first in 1981, Toronto Canada and there wasn't even standing room. Best concert I've ever been to!!!
Well, I'm 67 now and been a Moodies fan since the 60's, those images behind Justin during Tuesday Afternoon is as I remember them from that time.
Thanks for this upload, I used to go and see them here in Bristol UK, now it's almost impossible to get tickets because the "fan club" gets first pick before they go on sale, and then there's the ticket price here in the UK!!! Rock On.
Thanks for uploading... great video. I lived in The Woodlands from ' 99-' 02, this is a great venue for concerts.
I still do,nt understand why these guys who deserve to be in the rock and roll hall of fame and Janice Jackson getting in
They are in now!!!!!! Just went to the induction ceremony this past weekend and it was so great to see them be recognized!!!
thanks for this upload..
Great video ty
Wow, that's for posting this!!!!! 2011 was a great for them!
excellent job
awesome video,plus the music is great,considering they dudes are gettin up there .love you guys.
That's as good as it can get for a one cam in the crowd. Nice job! Going to see them in Grande Praire in March.
Superb!!
By the way, when he "flips on his guitar", he's only changing the tone and pitch of that guitar, as all electrical guitars have. He's not sending some hidden signal to some backstage tech to start some prerecorded guitar riff out to the audience to hide what he can't perform live. Still waiting to hear about your info that most of their music is pre-recorded when presented live. Pink Floyd, maybe. The Who maybe and many other bands. Just waiting for something about the MB on that level.
awsome-awsome-awsome! i'll be seeng them march 15.
Check out their DVD from 2006. "Lovely to see you" from the Greek Theater. It's quite good. It's their standard set they do in their shows but well recorded. They[as well as many other recording groups] play to recorded tracks that provide the fullness and the various instruments that were present on the original recordings. Listen closely to the background sounds, especially the vocals. They're not coming from the synthesizers. Watch when Heyward does a solo, he'll flip on his guitar just be4.
Hey I was here. . :) COOL!!!
💞🙏💞
Hi SW! Thank you for the amazing info (gone are the "good 'ol" days of big, crazy priced camcorders--like the nearly $2,000 one I got for the school I taught at--only to have them go digital immediately afterwards, which I later REALLY lamented). Ironically, someone asked me the same question today, what I use for my videos--I capture mine on my iPhone 4S. Gotta love technology, my friend! Thank you--and rock on, SW!! :)
Thanks. I used a Sony Cybershot 14.1 mega pixel compact camera. Editing was done with AVS4YOU software.
Some of you no doubt are aware that Justin has a daughter named Doremi as in Do Re Mi (a great name) who graduated from UCLA
@ Just Aguy thanks for putting Norda's name in as the flute player, I never knew who she was so I did a little investigating online and found her site..........learned a lot of good stuff.
kas aweru You are simply wrong. I can assure you that Justin's guitar is live100% of the time when a song is going on (I play a little myself). He is not "turning it off or on" but is adjusting volume and tone, etc., settings. At one or two concerts I saw him stop a song after a few bars, no recorded sounds lingered. . You are aware that there are synthesizers, keyboards and rhythm guitar playing on most songs in addition to Justin. What you hear from John Lodge is live also. He just makes it look easy. The Moodies keyboardists "sample" some sounds, but the concert is 100% live.
How much longer will these guys keep performing??? Hopefully till 100 or so???
That is a good looking Moody-ette Blue crashing away in 'E.'
😇🙏💖
Best song: Nights in White Satin...I love it 0:57:30 :)
PS: the quality of this video is awesome!
SWG,, achou um fã valeu ,,me lembra 65 e 66 67 70.. parabénsssssssssssssssss
bad enough Pinder isn't there, but I really miss Ray Thomas, seen the other flute player, still ain't nothin' like the real thing.
Ray can be replaced musically but never vocally. Let's give Norda her dues she does a great job and is easy on the eyes. No old walrus moustache.🌞😃
C'mon guys, I didn't say that. I know all the lead vocals are live, as well as both sets of drums. In some of the songs I can hear 2, 3 guitars in the background while Heyward is simply holding his left hand on the neck. His short riffs are live. He flips his switch on the bottom and goes into it. Even the sound level is radically different when he plays his solos. Point is, we're hearing more sound than is actually coming from the stage. I like it that way. Sounds a lot better with some fullnes
I guess I'll have to buy that DVD. I have other Moody DVD's but not that one. I was trying to find anything on UA-cam that corroborated your claim that Hayward only actually plays live 10% of the time. I'll check out the Greek Theater DVD it and thanks for the suggestion.
Interesting stat regarding the recorded track and Hayward's guitar being turned off about 90% of the time. What's your source for that information?
Well, you are aware of your lousy camera. You are not guilty of some crime, you are just a victim of bad technical solutions. Anyway, thanks for capturing this concert and uploading it, meant a lot to me!
love watching Gordy Marshall in Isn't Life Strange. Saw him several times live with the band... what a showman. He's like a whirling dervish up there! Have often said I'd pay just to see him in this song. R.I.P, Graeme 11/11/2021.
Who?
@@patmercer8591 the second drummer behind Justin.
Hi SW! Jean Claude Van D@MN (!), this is AWESOME! Also, I LOVE your video quality.
SW, what equipment did you use to capture it?
Love your editing too! Rock on, my friend! ;-)
I'm showing up as Galbally22 but this is from Tallyvideo1.
Days of Future Passed is what I want to hear. I never hear them do " Evening Time to Get Away" Maybe the vocals are imposable? where did they get that Angel Norda? They do not come down too often?
+victor crocco ****Believe it or not....and I KNOW this to be true....Norda is originally from America. Trained as a classical flute player...........and (like so many of us true blue fans).......has LOVED THE MOODIES' MUSIC since her youth. Ain't that cool? She , spouse, and baby....I believe reside somewhere in London most of the year when she is not on tour with the Moodies.
It's 420
Marta is better with the acoustic guitar than the tambourine.
Greats Moodys
Who are the ladies back UP musicians
Norda Mullen on flute and Julie Ragins on keyboard.
that chick on the flute is something else!
A cheap substitute for Ray Thomas.
@@eyeballll Ease up dude. Ray had every right to retire. Norda was a very fine replacement.
You can set the sound in your camera to not jump in and out of stereo.
It's not jumping in and out of stereo, it's cutting the highs out whenever I use the zoom. Crappy Sony Cybershot camera. Sorry...
It's a good show. Everyone's mostly on key and the sound is good. Unlike an orchestra or say, Fleetwood Mac, rock groups' studio recordings are mixed with other tracks and backup vocals, strings, etc. People who attend the concerts want to hear the original sound, and with a band like MB, it's impossible to reproduce it with only a handful of performers, when the original recordings were a major undertaking. I think it's great for the overall experience. I just threw 90% out there. Say, most OTT
Gee, those guys look older than they did in 1970. Did I get that much older too?
BTY: THANKS!
Awesome video and concert, thanks for uploading! Just a couple of small criticisms (nit picking really)...it seems that the sound was affected each time zoom in/out was used. Maybe hand blocking the microphone. Donno if that could be helped or not depending upon your camera, but something to think about. Secondly seems like a lot of focus on the flute player (the gorgeous and talented Norda Mullen), but truthfully I cant say I wouldn't have done the same considering she is easy on the eyes!
Totally agree, dude.
Clapton is God.
Sorry , he was deposed by the late , great Jimi Hendrix !
What happened to the other half of this song? Jeez!
Which song? There are 16 of them.
Hey, swguthrie could focus on Norda or on some 60-something-year-old guys. I have no complaints about the cinematography. ;)
I do. Too much flute player. Barely saw John.
Tyler scott
Wow! They have really had a lot going for them and I miss the real original flute player... The guy really made me happy!
You couldn't miss him too much if you can't even type his name. His name was Ray Thomas.
Ray was not well and has since passed. He is surely missed!
Nice job of capturing the gist of their show with rudimentary equipment. Better than most audience captured videos I've seen of the MBs, and the editing job was neat.
I saw exactly the same show in Dec '12, which I'm sure they all are. For all us lifelong fans, all we needed was a reasonable facsimile of the original. I didn't even care that about 80% of what I heard was a recorded track. You're aware, of course that Justin Hayward's guitar is turned off about 90% of the time.
You’re definitely not a musician are you? Even a musician with the most basic understanding of performance knows that every note you’re hearing is being played live, every single note.
Three things: my eyes, my ears and common sense. Where do you think all that sound comes from. Watch Heyward the next time you see one of these concerts, he'll flip on his guitar whenever he does a solo riff. Listen to the bass closely. Lodge is nowhere near playing all the notes while he's walking around the stage. His right hand just goes through the motions. I thought everyone knew that groups like this and Pink Floyd[another one] play to a recorded program. Nothing wrong with it.
What??? He is switching pick ups, not switching it off for heavens sake. Not a musician are you?
Love these guys; but I can honestly say it all sounded a bit rushed to me :/
I like their “no bullshit” approach: hitting you with one song after another. Boom, boom, boom!
Ears,eyes and common sense are all great, but “90% of the time.” Hayward is not playing. Factually? I think their full sound comes from great musicianship. I’ve seen the Moodies live over 25 times since ‘67 and never once felt they weren’t 100% live.Keyboards and synthesizers add to the overall sound fullness, but that’s not intentional prerecorded guitar work. Assuming you’re right please suggest a link to a Moodies video where it’s obvious they are not playing live. I’d love to be corrected.
It would really suck to end up Drummer # 2
Are you kidding?? Look at the joy on his face, - Probably stoked that he can tell his grandkids that he got to play with them.
Oh, - I guess you mean Graeme feeling less important? I think he probably knows everyone still considers him the main man, even the backup drummer.
I think it would be great. They trade off.
