A few years later, Andy Speake (the drummer in our group - sadly now passed) was playing with his group "The Amorous Prawns" on stage with Thunderclap who were not having a very good time after this record. Anyway - Andy bought the drums on this record (which turned out to have from the Who - made for Woodstock in 1969) for £100. He used them for years then Premier drums bought them (for their hall of fame) for £10,000 (a fortune in the 1980s). Anyway - now you know. Not quite sure why I put up this little snippet - just a small factoid. Love this record
The coolest music teacher ever. Teaching the youth what it is. I wish it were so. The world would be a better place. At least these kids got that experience.
Oh Lord have Mercy! Bang a gong! To get him to do more with this group would be beyond Heavenly. Can someone who actually knows him GET THROUGH to him? This is so much better than that scheiss back-up band, on solo tours. Sorry, but they are so shabby compared to the amazing Moodies. Must be very difficult without a decent producer, to get things done. We live in such a different world now. Expenses and costs outweigh Quality and Beauty. I clasp my pearls.
This version of “Story” leaves me breathless! I don’t know how Justin keeps topping himself but he does! I saw him twice in concert this week, Sunday in RI and Wed. in Rockport Ma. Story in Your Eyes is one of his two encore songs (the other being IKYOTS) and at age 74 Justin sang it beautifully!! It gave me shivers and brought tears to my eyes! I hope he continues touring for years to come! 💙💙
Justin has this uncanny ability to draw you into his music. It's like you can't escape and you don't want to because there is no artist like him or The Moody Blues. They're unique and they're inviting. They reel you in with harmonious sounds and then imprison you in their lyrics. This is just another brilliant reinvention of a classic turned into another classic.
This is magnificent. Even at this late date, I hope Justin would get together with these incredibly talented musicians and put out an album of his solo songs and Moodies' greats with them. Bravo!
Thanks for supporting my music ❤️I'm so grateful and I hope you never stop being a fan, I would like to honor you by giving you my personal information if that's ok by you.
This is absolutely splendid. Just very uplifting rendition of a true, classic. I also noticed (after listening several times!) that the young man with the trumpet and trombone disappears from the scene as the video ends. He’s just not there anymore. Trying to figure out what the meeting of that is trying to convey!
Nothing beats nights --the very charm of it--and his mea nings -- written for his wife of forever -- it gives you insight into him as well as the rest of the members --so inclusive of John Lodge as well --i believe the two main writers of the Moodies songs
What a true gift for us all!! Justin has the most beautiful voice, soft and lovely..🌹🌹🌹🌹..... What a true 🎨🎨 artist!!!!! Love his singing!!!! 🥀🥀🥀🥀. .2022...
That was fantastic... Justin Hayward is genius. The Moody Blues recording of this song from Every Good Boy Deserves favour was a favorite song for me from the first time I heard it when I was 8 years old. This new rendition holds true to the spirit of the original recording. I really enjoyed this very much.
I love YT for stuff like this. New arrangement, young energy, and Justin's voice that just doesn't seem to change...all these years later. Doubt if any of these ladies had ever heard of The Moody Blues before this.
Such a fun video with a step in the past and in the present. I love seeing and hearing Justin sing and play this beautiful song. The other musicians add more pleasure to the whole performance.
I love the edit at 2:05, the man continues his practice of making all he touches beautiful, the silver pipe of the guardrail becoming the flute. We all play our music in what we do, no matter how seemingly mundane. Your day is the song you write. Make it your best!
He got old. This is the bloke I wanted to be when I was younger. Give me 45 years of brilliant music. Keep on rocking Justin, and the rest of the boys.
Seems like Justin is re-inventing himself and freshening up his music- hopefully for a new audience as well as the older one. Quite an achievement for someone in their very late 60's.
Dang justin i just love what your dooing now playing with all these cool musicians. It must be so hard with all the memories with the moodys as we are all entering in that twilight time. I play and write from ear but I wish i hadn't dismissed more theory and instruction over the many years .I think you were always my influence and mentor. Your personal touch on these video series is so down home and the love seen with these accomplished players getting to play with you is sooo awesome. Iam not much for playing in bars as i have aged but i play allot of your songs at home . Something i must do for my sanity.
Thanks Justin. I have been listening to the Moody Blues since Days of Future Past. I’ve lost count of how many times I saw you in concert (10-12?) . I absolutely love what you are doing now on RUclips. I look forward to every song you put up. It REALLY helps during this pandemic. Thank you so much.

Justin is about the coolest person ever.
The coolest music teacher ever. Teaching the youth what it is. I wish it were so. The world would be a better place. At least these kids got that experience.
This was the first band that I recall writing stories into their songs.... and you could understand all of the words.
If Justin has put out a whole album reinventing his original songs, I'm in. This is excellent work.
I want this music for my 4tet.
He should do, and soon. We all need cheering up.
I'm in, too❤
I’m in as well!
Oh Lord have Mercy!
Bang a gong!
To get him to do more with this group would be beyond Heavenly.

I clasp my pearls.
In any version, mix, or orchestration, this is still in my top 3 favorite Justin tunes.
The gardener on the tambourine….outstanding

One of the best versions of this.
God I wish there was an hour of this.

So beautiful. My heart just melted from the beauty. You know a song is outstanding when it can stand up to any kind of arrangement and be this good.
Gorgeous! Imagine this on tour? I will settle for this beautiful video for now instead. How have I missed seeing this until now?
Same here - just found it in June 2024, and it blew me away.
That’s what I was also thinking. Love the instrumentation
That was wonderful, a tad humorous and I absolutely loved it!❤❤❤❤❤
This is magnificent. Even at this late date, I hope Justin would get together with these incredibly talented musicians and put out an album of his solo songs and Moodies' greats with them. Bravo!
Who doesn’t know every word? ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much ☺️;
I don’t but I love it anyway. The simple arrangement is great , but the same some with the Clasical Quartet is fabulous for being totally different.
Well done! Good to see you have not retired!
Great band and at the same time both melodious and with a well timed tension.
Justin Hayward is still amazing.
He hasn't lost his voice, unlike several of his contemporaries ( who shall remain unnamed out of respect )
I particularly enjoyed that clear, sharp flute but it is all fantastic!
Thanks for supporting my music ❤️I'm so grateful and I hope you never stop being a fan, I would like to honor you by giving you my personal information if that's ok by you.
@@justinhayward5136scammer!
As always Sharon 😊
Such a good man. Beautiful voice and pretty man.

Justin's voice... timeless. I love this rendition.

I'm breathless, too!❤
Aww ☺️ thank you so much “
Excellent well written song , and musicality is brilliant.
I could listen to that voice all day. The sexiest voice in rock and roll. He still sounds magnificent.
What a true gift for us all!! Justin has the most beautiful voice, soft and lovely..🌹🌹🌹🌹..... What a true 🎨🎨 artist!!!!! Love his singing!!!! 🥀🥀🥀🥀. .2022...
So very light and whimsical!
Well, that was just totally awesome! Justin, you just keep rolling on. We are so mesmerized by your heartfelt music.

You always amaze me Justin ! Beautiful video and as always, a great song.
Amazing. A true gift.
Wow, is this ever nice! ☺Kudos, Justin and ladies.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
He's gotta be pushing 80 ... WTH??? He's still got it. I guess music keeps you young.
Born 14 October 1946, which makes him 77 this October. Probably close to 70 when this was shot. He was really young when the band got its start.
I just saw him with his band in July 2024, Washington D.C. 😎 Fantastic show! Sounded as great as ever! He, like his music is ageless🎸🎶
This is one of the many great songs from one of the greatest bands.
The human voice is the greatest instrument and also That bridge!
Prachtig deze versie van het nummer.
Beautiful "cover" of one of my favorite Moody Blues' songs.
Love the quartet!
I'm still smiling - this is the sprightliest version of one of my favorite songs I've ever heard. Well done!
I love YT for stuff like this. New arrangement, young energy, and Justin's voice that just doesn't seem to change...all these years later. Doubt if any of these ladies had ever heard of The Moody Blues before this.
What an absolute masterpiece! Justin Hayward remains my favorite living musician.
So very beautiful. You and the Moody Blues are like a fine wine. The older you are, the better.
Awesome! I love it!🙂❤️👍🎸
Justin this was absolutely fabulous such talented players a 50 year old song that is so timeless great arrangement
Love is the answer. ❤️
True, Thank you 😊 ❤
Lithe, lovely and gorgeous arrangement.
This is by far the best arrangement of this track I have ever heard. OUTSTANDING!
I would buy a album of Justin Hayward and the Quartet.
Thank you 😊/
Justin, this was a joy to watch. Much love to you! 💕
Such a fun video with a step in the past and in the present. I love seeing and hearing Justin sing and play this beautiful song. The other musicians add more pleasure to the whole performance.

The new moodies. Thanks Justin. A new touch to a great tune
Absolutely love this song.
This rivals the original, beautiful alternative. Every positive adjective I can think of it deserves.
Marvelous.
Thank you)
I 💙 this. He's been my favorite for years.
That was great...love to hear more played this way. A whole album - I agree with the others.
Everything about this is perfect. Justin just gets better and better, and he was brilliant in the 1970s.
Oh, my gosh, just gorgeous…The Voice, the Music, it all was sublime ❤️
SEEN THE BAND OVER 10 TIMES ONLY WORD IS AMAZING,JUST AMAZING,AND HE IS A DAMN GOOD GUITARIST TOO
This and any version of this is so beautiful. Especially if Justin is singing! ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
I love the edit at 2:05, the man continues his practice of making all he touches beautiful, the silver pipe of the guardrail becoming the flute. We all play our music in what we do, no matter how seemingly mundane. Your day is the song you write. Make it your best!
Lovely!🌹
Thank you 🎉-
Wonderful ❤ love it

Fantastic! I had to go listen to the whole album after this..
Nice unintentional flash mob. Love the song and love the performance. So happy to have all the videos I can get.
BRILLIANT! ❤ 🎶🎵💗
Seems like Justin is re-inventing himself and freshening up his music- hopefully for a new audience as well as the older one. Quite an achievement for someone in their very late 60's.
Gordon Harrison He's a genius, quite simply!
Gordon Harrison He is actually 72 this year! Hard to believe..I was born on his 8th birthday. So cool to share a birthday with someone this famous!
Genius is as genius does.
OUTSTANDING, THE MUSIC LIVES!

Justin never seems to loose anything, what a great rendition of this song, thanks Justin
Love this version ❤️ so much. Everything Justin does is wonderful.
Odpoczywam od trosk.Przy tej muzyce.Magia magia.Miód na uszy i serce ❤️
Always one of my favorites...glad he agrees.
Happy Birthday Justin.
Thanks Justin. I have been listening to the Moody Blues since Days of Future Past. I’ve lost count of how many times I saw you in concert (10-12?) . I absolutely love what you are doing now on RUclips. I look forward to every song you put up. It REALLY helps during this pandemic. Thank you so much.
Fantastic. His voice is a little softer but once in a while you hear the voice of 1969.
OUTSTANDING.
