John Lodge Performs 'Nights in White Satin' with Jon Davison of YES

- We wanted to share a little video we put together of ‘Nights in White Satin’. When John decided to bring ‘Days of Future Passed’ into his live show, it was important to find the right way to do Nights - to fully respect the original version written and sung so wonderfully by Justin, to properly pay tribute to him, but at the same time to allow it to breath and grow as part of the joyful concert experience that John wants to share with you. We believe that John, the 10,000 Light Years Band, and, of course, Jon Davison of @yesofficial have done just that… and we hope you agree.
The video is a little bit of behind-the-scenes fun showing them at rehearsals, and then segues into the album version from ‘Days of Future Passed - My Sojourn’, available now slinky.to/Days.... John will be on tour in November 2024, with dates to be announced shortly. Follow John on facebook for the most up to date information! @johnlodgemusic.
My wife and I saw him in July in Nashua NH, it was a great show. Mostly us geezers but there was a smattering of younger folks. The Moody Blues were a big part of my life in the early 1970s.
THANK YOU JOHN
for keeping the MOODY BLUES MUSIC ALIVE!
It may sound just a bit "different" but the "sound" and "meaning"
resonate as much today as it did so so many years ago.
Will you be touring in the upper midwest of the USA soon?
STAY HEALTHY!
Still a classic after all these years,more Blues please...
What a lovely rendition of a great song. Much love and gratitude to John for all the years of great recordings and performances. Rock on, Rocker!
Such an incredible song. An all time classic!
Beautiful version. Great video too! ❤
If one loves rehearsals. 😉
This is a great version. Jon Davison has a great voice. John Lodge has been fabulous for many years
One of my all time favourite song that got me hooked to the Moodies in the late 60's.... lovely cover ❤❤❤
Peace and love from India ☮️✌️❤️🇮🇳

Justin would love this John you and the band did a glorious version of his iconic and beloved song well done 💙
Magnificent ❤ 😢 Thank you.
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant...
Thank you. ❤ 😇
Outstanding!!!!!!!
Always one of my favorites and this was an excellent rendition of it. Great work !😊
I thought I was going to hate this, but it's actually an awesome rendition. Fresh and well done
Wow!! It's truly beautiful, John Lodge! Bravo! Nicely done!
Thanks so much for posting this beautiful song. The behind scenes video was nice to see everyone up close, well done!
I got the vinyl album about a year ago, and it and your concerts in Denver are fantastic! Thanks again!
Hi John Thanks for sharing Nights at a before show rehearsal interesting vocals by Jon Davidson ... Thanks for keeping the faith John I have loved your work for many years, Burn slowly the candle of Life ...
Very impressive. John Lodge is awesome!
Beautiful.
Can't help but feel haunted by the absence of Ray's flute playing, which makes it even more poignant, yet the performance stands on it's own merit.
Saw them at memorial Hall Plymouth Mass this past summer great show super tunes fabulous memories
...desde mi adolescencia, por siempre ❤
Glorious!
Brilliant version cheers love it
What a legend
I was there both nights-it was fantastic -Timothy Leary blew the roof off!
I thought he was outside looking in?
Very cool to see this!
Great Stuff
This is the most classic rock song of all time it still standing strong after over 50 years. John Lodge and John Davis make a great. Unfortunately it sounds like a cover version of any song without Justin Hayward deeply emotional and heartfelt voice making you feel like you are part of his journey.
So well said. Jon Davison truly has a nice voice but Justin is so tied to this iconic song. Justin brings a very special touch and emotion that fits perfectly with the lyrics. Hard if not impossible to beat. Nonetheless, kudos to John Lodge and his band. Any Moody Blues song is always a win!
This Song alone is a Masterpiece, as is the whole Album *
MOODY BLUES
The fellow from Yes did okay with the main vocal and i would mind a listen live. I'd rather hear Justin sing it - just my opinion. The strings playing Ray's flute part was interesting and okay too. I'm old now and i saw the Moodies play so many time live. It's hard with Graeme and Ray gone may they RIP. i still love Justin's voice even at his age he still sounds great. Thank you Moodies for all your great music. Terrific band and songwriting ❤
❤❤❤
Killin it Lodge. You taking on the road?
I thought it was great...I'm 65 yo...I've heard this song all my life...this was a fantastic rendition of this song...John was there back in the day...he knows how to play the song...hey John, how about another rendition of "Blue Guitar" man.
I love Blue Guitar, but its also only intact with Justin singing. Justin's voice
has a fluid quality that Lodge lacks. Blue Jays was a beautiful album.
Shame we only got one continuous shot of the actual performance, but it was great seeing the band in action.
Nicely done versión !
Word !
The flute solo on the cello is interesting
Father in law and Son in law duo
They should put the Blue Jays back together
Just not the same tho.
How could it be really?
During the active years it was normal each member sang the songs they wrote themselfes, just a few exceptions. Justin still restricts to his own songs (except one Pinders, which by then Mike has aked him te sing it. I think it would fit John to have the same limitation, his own MB-music is really good enough. This version of Nights is "just a cover" , more comparable with f.i. the Go Now-band. If I would have the chance to join a Lodge-concert I would hope for Just a Singer, Isn't Life Strange, Gemini Dream, Words you say ...etc.
And I wished that once the'd come together, just to record some Ray Thomas songs ...

I really appreciate your thoughtful and respectful comment regarding John’s inclusion of NIWS at his concerts and I do agree with you. John’s son in law Jon Davison has a lovely voice but Nights is an iconic song tied to Justin and his amazing, unique voice. John Lodge is an absolute legend in his own right and I hope he keeps performing for many years to come. His catalog of music is vast and wonderful and his current band is great. Some people have suggested that it’s a matter of respect to leave Justin’s songs for him to perform as he is still touring. You’re right, Justin does his own songs that he wrote while in the band or his solo work. Either way I love the Moody Blues and miss their concerts but thankfully John and Justin are still delivering stellar performances for us. I wish them all the best.
!
Doesn't have the register for either Jon or Justin.
It is not John Lodge singing. This version is well done. Fresh voice.
I just wish Eddie Vedder sing this song
Wrong style voice. Doesnt fit
It could be worse John himself could have tried to sing it His voice had seen better days
This song can ONLY be sung by Justin Hayward! Shame on you Mr. John Lodge.
Oh please. I’ve been singing it for years. My granddaughter sings it too. Grow up!
That was my first thought, but this is an awesome rendition. Let's put on our adult pants and realize taste is subjective, beauty in the eyes of the beholder etc. This is a beautiful version
Great rendition
Davison nails it down pretty damn good .... 👍
Awwwww...sounds like SOMEBODY needs a hug!
Nope
I agree they're both great but they're better as a team I wish these brits would stop arguing and just come together everybody's dead in the band they should embrace each other
this is scare, my cat sad
Okay look: this is going to sound harsh; however, it's well intentioned. Firstly- this was really interesting, to see this soundcheck/rehearsal, the equipment, the close up & real recording of what, even as a soundcheck, seemed to be the real deal. But nobody needs more praises here- it's not that constructive. Everything sounded amazing, except for one crucial element- the vocals. Not the singer, not missed notes... nothing like that. It's just the song is imprinted on the world with a more sonorous lyrical representation than is offered here- it's jarring to the consciousness, especially for those really familiar or fans of the Moody Blues. I'm trying to be somewhat gentle- as the singer/guitarist is obviously talented in both areas; however- should we not always strive to serve the song?
The vocals come off thin & weak, & frankly- with the pining submissiveness of the lyrics- it's a treacherous precipice to take on, without falling into the crevasse of simp-dom. The long girly hair doesn't help the image- one could wager the fella has a brush he uses before bed each night- just like a school-girl. I know I sound insulting, but I'm honoring the masculinity, the manliness of the song. Notwithstanding, there's loads of girly-men who still love women & might long after them.... but let's not make this song a joke. So it's not personal- the guy is obviously brilliant- just not for this song, imo. Let's talk about a fix:
Try double tracking him slightly. Something. Beef him up. I can't tell you he needs a haircut, but it doesn't serve the song- it looks weak & girly, with the thin pining vocals... So compensate or SOMETHING. Okay... you'll get away with it, with fans, for the most part... & I'm not looking for an imitation of Hayward. I'm just sayin'... with all the effort & wonderful embodiment of the song displayed... shore up this end. We're only as strong as our weakest point.
YES THAT IS NOTHING BUT HARSH....
Perhaps one of the more bizarre comments. Long girly hair ???
@@dominicdahlheimer6861 I said it would sound harsh... & you're 'surprised'? Must be a youngster.
Here's a link to Nights in White Satin featuring Justin Hayward who is also exhibiting girly-man hair - so if you are going to be dreaming with wistful self-restraint about a man brushing his hair before bedtime like a schoolgirl then it may as well be to the song's original author ruclips.net/video/ajVSeAYFs3Y/видео.html
@@alfinpogform4774 No, doesn't compare. Context is king, & frankly- some people can pull it off- others, just can't. You're obviously concerned about hurting someone's feelings. Take honesty like a man. Dude looks prissy & sings whiny- it's really just that simple. It doesn't serve the masculine tenderness of the song- it's a mismatch, & it fails. Now, F off, kid.
