The Moody Blues was the first rock band combing rock and classical in the late 1960's. They are a very talented band that play 26 instruments between them. Since you are an opera singer I think you might be interested watching them play with a large orchestra. Therefore if there are a lot of Moody Blues fans in the patron group, I hope they would suggest that you react to Moody Blues-Nights in White Satin official Live Video HD. The sound and video quality are great, and this is one of their best songs. Great reaction!
The group is absolutely legendary. You owe it to yourself to hear the studio version now. It's the closing track on their seventh album, appropriately titled, "Seventh Sojourn." (1973)
I have loved this song since my youth and had NEVER seen the clip. Bless you Maggie Renee. And I have to say the Drummer is a joyful maniac who deserves to be celebrated.
Yes, you're right about the audio quality of that recording. You owe it to yourself to listen to the studio version, now that you know you like the song. --Dan
Maggie, I have seen these amazing artists perform live when I lived in Raleigh N.C. --- perfection!!!! It was like we were listening to a CD. So darn good!!!! The Moody Blues has always one of my favorite groups. Holy cheese muffins for sure!!!!........ Thank you so much Roy! And thank you Maggie......
I always liked the Moodies even in the original lineup, through their 'sixties' phase into the seventies where this song is from. Good choice Roy. And good reaction Maggie.
In their earlier albums and performances they were so mystical that people treated them like gurus with all the answers. It was a heavy burden that they didn’t want. (Don’t tell me. Please tell me.)😊
They wrote this song because hippies were sure they knew the secrets of the universe and were pestering them constantly to reveal them. I loved the way they get synthesizer-like effects using acoustic instruments. Lol-I think the crealtors of the Muppets
The Moodies drummer, Graeme Edge was the first drummer to play electronic drums on their 1971 album "Every Good Boy Deserves Favour". This was pre-chip days, it was all done with transistors. He used them on the studio cut of "I'm Just a Singer", which was on their next album "Seventh Sojourn". Being years ahead of actual commercial elecronic drums, they were too touchy to use live. Graeme would say that when it worked it was superb, but it was before their time and too sensitive outside of the studio.
Actually, they were first used on the song "Procession" from the album Every Good Boy Deserves Favour." He was the co-inventor of the electronic drums, along with Brian Groves.
I must say that I prefer these reaction videos where you let the band or artist do the singing. I know that you have a very nice voice but I want to hear the band do the performance and you do the reaction. This is a great tune. Have you ever heard Emerson Lake and Palmer do either C'est La Vie or one of their other love songs? I am 100 percent positive that you would love them. ✌🇨🇦
Saw them play with the Colorado symphony orchestra at Red Rocks, a one of a kind outdoor venue. There was heat lighting flashing out on the horizon so a show along with the show, great memories
Suggestions of songs to listen to (that I have yet to see anywhere) "Question" - song inside a song! "The Voice" Nothing like "Gemini Dream" "For My Lady" "New Horizons" "And the Tide Rushes In" "Going Nowhere" "Say It With Love" "I Know You're Out There Somewhere" I have seen their live shows, all at Summerfest in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. These reactions are beneficial for both new and long time music fans.
Seen them in concert three times, great each time. The Moodies have always been in my top five favorite bands of all time. A ton of great songs by this band: Forever afternoon, Nights in White Satin, The Question, 44,000 Days, Ride my See Saw, Long Distance Voyager, so many more.
Love the Moody Blues. This is a good choice. I would also recommend either Knights in White Satin or The Other Side of Life. Very good songs. I love seeing younger generations rediscover older bands like this.
Hopefully this hasn't been mentioned too often: The story behind the song is almost as good as the song itself. Decades ago the Moody Blues were going to play in a Texas town and a guy stood outside with a sign that said, the Moody Blues will save the world in 27 days, etc. After the concert he yelled at the band and said, You're phonyes, you didn't save the world at all. This song is Justin Hayward's answer.
A wonderful band to be sure... unfortunately it doesn't seem like anyone is making the effort to get their high quality versions on YT. Maybe some limitations created by the original audio recordings as well.
Animals - Don't let me be Misunderstood and this one are from the be very beginning to the height of my Hippie world and neither is a love song. Both have a lot to say. Yes I am a Vocalist but I hear the words first b/c I have had more lucky as a poet then a singer. I have gotten 3 poems pub but never got that record And yes both tunes are will wroth the lisren just for the music forget the words. Both are worthy tunes to veggie out on.
Yeah the audio quality is pretty poor here unfortunately. But do yourself a favor and check out the studio track to appreciate the mastery of the overall cut, and also the singing for sure.
Hey Maggie I once had a good friend named Maggie 😊..hey how about some Amy winehouse music especially Rehab and I'm not good for you .also a tribute to the 27 club Jimmy Hendrix,Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain and Amy winehouse.
One of the great things about the Moody Blues is that they were all songwriters, and they had slightly different styles. You picked an uncharacteristic song in that this was written by the bass player, John Lodge, and while it is probably their third biggest hit, most people react to the more conventionally beautiful songs by the guitarist, Justin Hayward, particularly Knights in White Satin. I actual prefer the songs by the flute player, Ray Thomas and the keyboardist Mike Pindar, because they are generally moodier sounding, being in minor keys. Dear Diary and Melancholy Man being one example of each. The drummer would write a poem for each album, with Pindar setting it to music. On a different note, if you like bands that can stop and start on a dime in unison, you should really react to King Crimson's 21st Century Schizoid Man. King Crimson has some better songs in terms of vocal sound, (both Greg Lake and John Wetton could do these formal British accents while singing) by Schizoid Man has the tightest musicianship.
Maggie, I recommend you not review songs and bands based on a film clips from the 1960s. The sound quality is just too poor. Any band from that era needs to be based on the recordings. The music from that period focused on producing amazing albums. The live performances back then did not have the technology to come close to what could be produced in recording studios. The sound technology used in filming performances was also not up to snuff, the exception might be the Woodstock performances, but that was recorded live with the intention of making an album. The Moody Blues albums from the late 60s and early 70s are masterpieces.

And my!

Yes, I saw their show in Portland, Maine a number of years ago now with the Portland Symphonyy backing them. Good show.

Drummer is Graeme Edge. Passed on in 2021. Yeah how about those accelerations & pauses in tempo! Can't get that from no drum machine.... that's soul
@@WayneBrejcha Thank you for the information; Vale Graeme Edge
Back in the day I rocked to both of those bands.
Yes, you're right about the audio quality of that recording. You owe it to yourself to listen to the studio version, now that you know you like the song. --Dan
I love this song, so much fun! Great job Maggie!
🤘🌺👍
It would have blown her mind if she listened to the Concert at Red Rocks. That was epic and before John started to lose his voice.
Maggie,

So glad you enjoyed! 🤗
I always liked the Moodies even in the original lineup, through their 'sixties' phase into the seventies where this song is from. Good choice Roy. And good reaction Maggie.
Glad you liked it! 🤗💟
Saw them in the early eighties with a full orchestra! Absolutely indescribable!
In their earlier albums and performances they were so mystical that people treated them like gurus with all the answers. It was a heavy burden that they didn’t want. (Don’t tell me. Please tell me.)😊
One of my favorite bands.
Group's signature sound was the Mellotron; actually, a series of key-activated tape players which simulated different instruments.
Band hit with a cover of Bessie Banks' "Go Now", then went art-rockish with "Days of Future Passed".
They wrote this song because hippies were sure they knew the secrets of the universe and were pestering them constantly to reveal them. I loved the way they get synthesizer-like effects using acoustic instruments. Lol-I think the crealtors of the Muppets

I didn't know Ray Thomas played the Sax.
Great song and great lyrics.
Thank you Roy
Suggestions of songs to listen to (that I have yet to see anywhere)
"Question" - song inside a song!
"The Voice"
Nothing like "Gemini Dream"
"For My Lady"
"New Horizons"
"And the Tide Rushes In"
"Going Nowhere"
"Say It With Love"
"I Know You're Out There Somewhere"
I have seen their live shows, all at Summerfest in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. These reactions are beneficial for both new and long time music fans.
I love the Moody Blues. 💙. This group is legendary . They are better than the Beatles IMO.
I don't know about better than the Beatles, but surely equal.
This live version is harder rock than the original,,,,this a great audio for those who know the song.

Your faith in cheese muffins is affectious. I need some now 😄
There a Super Group. Never made a bad song. I loved growing up them is the 60's and 70's. High quality Rock. Excellent vocals and musicians
Another great song from a fantastic group! Thanks for the reaction!
i almost forgot to like what was i thinkin what was i thinkin
Thanks Roy. I love this band so much
Hey Maggie. Your reactions are always top drawer, so much fun to watch you enjoying yourself. Sempr Fi from Wisconsin! 🤘🤘
Try Renaissance "Trip To The Fair", lead singer is opera trained
takes a Big sax to cut through that wall of sounds
the words are a bit muffled as you said about the sound quality but they can really play that song good guitar work
👍🌺
Been waiting for Maggie to do the Moody Blues forever and we get this garbled audio version that does nothing to do justice to their brilliance.
Thank you, Roy!
We have a Texas version, I'm just a sanger in a honky tonk band...
Try Renaissance "Running Hard", Annie Haslam is opera trained.
Hopefully this hasn't been mentioned too often:

This song is Justin Hayward's answer.
built on a solid drum foundation
The drummer had to be inspiration for Animal on the Muppets.
You would think that, but the actual inspiration was Keith Moon.
👍❤️
A wonderful band to be sure... unfortunately it doesn't seem like anyone is making the effort to get their high quality versions on YT. Maybe some limitations created by the original audio recordings as well.

they broke up shortly after this. When they got back together Mike
inder, the keyboardist,
Nights in White Satin... plz
Try this again. They broke up shortly after this album. When they got back together Mike Pinder, the keyboardist, could not do it any more.
You are so darn cute. 😍
🤗🙏
Ivnever heard a live version of a Moody Blues song that was better than the studio recording, especially Nights in White Satin.
Nights In White Satin, performed live at Royal Albert Hall is one of them (except for the fact it leaves out the poem at the end).
Not exactly "Nights in White Satin". LOL

вообще ничего не нахожу в этой песенке
Have you ever reacted to Alannah Myles- Black Velvet?
Great song, but yeah, that sure is one crap audio track they used in the video, heh...
Sadly the audio does not do the song justice....😢
Older versions of live songs are not the best medium to do reaction on.
This has nothing to do with the real Moody Blues.
