Fifty years later and Justin's voice hasn't aged at all.
I wouldn't go that quite far but his voice is still great
I find his voice to be more mellow now. Still wonderful.
Breathe deep the gathering gloom,
Watch lights fade from every room.
Bedsitter people look back and lament
Another day's useless energy is spent.
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one;
Lonely man cries for love and has none;
New mother picks up and suckles her son;
Senior citizens wish they were young.
Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colours from our sight,
Red is grey is yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion
WONDERFUL MIKE!
Seeing Mike Pinder lip synch with perfection Late Lament at 9:16:00 is probably the most profound treat I have had in a long time!
Props to Justin for not laughing when they qued up the record, I thought he was going to lose it there for a moment after the interview. OUI
Ol what treat...Moody blues are respectful mature..mike ponder gave good interview luv mimed performance setting..graeme edge did good conducting and great last bong going on his cymbal and look on ray Thomas and beautiful French woman is priceless ending to this presentation..thank you much!! Appreciated..peace too all
Ray: "Electric spoons".
Fascinating interview and excellent quality video. Thank you so much for posting!
Absolutely agree!
At end--It has MIKE reciting "Late Lament" Amazing !!! I didnt think such video existed...
+Piggy-Pike Mike recited most of the poems, except the one before Ride My See-Saw.
@@MarshalLucky1 this is an historic moment in moodies mk2 re-born!March 1968 .
At least they had a sense of humor about the whole thing, they seem like pretty down to earth lads.
yes i do thinck Ray and Graeme had some joke;
How I love them! They move my soul.
Omg que espetáculo maravilhoso . Tenho 65 anos e sou fã desde meus 12 anos . Obrigada por postar esse vídeo de altíssima qualidade. Entrevistador horrível 😢 merecia um castigo .
Love it.Mike Pinder no longer has his British accent.Hes lived in Ca for decades and in recent interviews sounds like an American ...
Living in California will do that to you that's fer sure, dude..
I know! Saw that look on his face but he was a real gent as always💖
John Lodge plays his bass parts with a Fender Stratocaster.
... I think that was Justin's Telecaster. John is a very good guitar player as well. Probably left his bass like the rest of their gear, with the road crew. "Here, John, hold this for the cameras" ...
@@pereraddison932 As both a strat and Tele player, i can say it was a Stratocaster. Don't know how he got it, but it is a strat.
It's ridiculous that they couldn't use the actual live music and had to lip sync . I would have liked it better even if the sound quality wasn't as good. They were clearly more of a studio band than live, especially with the technical issues Mike Pinder frequently had with his mellotron.
He customized it to the point that I believe he would be the only one who could tune it.
... Mike Pinder had so much trouble with that early tape driven sound FX machine. And being employed at the electrical engineering firm where the M'tron was made, he had direct access and was able to practically update and completely mofify the whole thing. Envisioning a portable, one man orchestra, he switched out the hot glowing energy consuming valves, replacing them with cooler, more modern and reliable transistors. He not only re-jigged the tapes from sound FX to musical instruments such as strings and horns, he also replacing the fluctuating AC transformers with 24 volt DC drivers, that took the Mellowtron from being a valve driven analogue machine, and inventing the very first solid state pseudo digital synthesiser. This inspired Graham Edge to do likewise, and, in conjunction with a university professor, they came up with the very 1st electronic drum kit ...
Studios often weren't designed with live music in mind, and the acoustics were simply not up to snuff for live performances. it took them a while to lick that, and to improve the in-studio microphones to the point where live performances could do the artists justice.
Edge makes a great conductor.
emission française !! JUSTIN ! MIKE the lament et son Mellotron !ok !ok thank you !! merci !
Excellent video. Thank you for postinf
Important show after thé cannes midem .moodies went n1 in France and over many countries ..every labels and journalists were stunnéd by Mike's mellotron.so the guy Gérard Klein asked some boring question on the tron .this is history in moodies life! The moodies mk2 from these early 68 bègun their wonderful story....lips synch again Mike on a hammond and John with a lead gt ... Ascendant for them , they're re-established as a n°1 hit !
Oh my God! What a treasure!
"Hey speak English, man!"
That was so funny!
The New Horizons then Mike should have said to him" just for that, me and the band are going to lip sync! Asked you once speak English , ya started to then you friggen start up with the French fries again. Well here see if you can tell if we're playing live or not.
Go have a croissant!
And don't ask me to do late lament in French, ok!
I know, then what does the interviewer do? He goes back to speaking in French again to Mike. I like when he tries to clarify the frenchman's question looking confused with him and says, with six songs, six parts? why six parts?
Because we couldn't do any more parts to the day. If we did we have to include things like going to the toilet!". LMAO!
Can you imagine if they did have a song about the going to the bathroom part of the day?
Perhaps Ray Thomas could have composed the song that would've been a prequel to "floating" from to our children's children's children It could go with something like, " floating, turds in the bowl , 60 of them, I pooped them all!,
Imagine the look on his face! Oh oui oui!
hahahahahaaha. Smart point Larry Larry Fulmer! A fan with knowledge and humor.
@@designerlarry The moody blues had no issue whatsoever promoting their music to the french public....And the french public was open to english music that was of very high quality even though they truly didn't understand the lyrics. Only idiots like you don't comprehend this and make it an issue by mocking those who don't speak your language even though this was filmed in france. Look around you ...and their are other beautiful languages in this world.
This was terrific. Thanks.
I liked this,,,❤️
Very "of its time" and very enjoyable especially for that reason. Excellent! Thank you for posting.
Incredibly rare Howard ,isn't it ? The return to hit from the moodies!
.Mike does seem to be getting a bit aggravated by the interviewer....I like how Graeme "conducts" the orchestra near the end of "Nights"....Yes, hearing "Late Lament" "spoken" (most likely all of this is lip synched) by Mike is a rare treat.....Seeing Ray's amusement at the very end - him chuckling - is special. This whole thing is special. I'm surprised there's not been more viewings of this and comments. - Jeanne
It is the album recording but this was about the best lip-sync ever!
JeanneW777 I liked seeing ray chuckle. Sure miss his music.

JeanneW777 I liked seeing ray chuckle. RIP Ray, you're traveling eternity road!.
@@boomerbaum ... Lots of practice. Top Of The Pops, and much other tv appearance around the world ...
Mike Pinder could have been a great actor
... Very stately, even Shakespearean ...
Yes, they suddenly turned on the music....and they mimic their own song.... even the Beatles had to mimic their songs to the studio music played in the background.
It is still them and you get view of what look like, however, these are real musicians and they may have felt frustrated to not play live...most people didn't notice and the program hiring them may have made it easier for everybody....and the quality of the sound is guaranteed....no chance of mistakes.
and the band wins because it is promotion for them.
The weird angle shots, stark close-up images... it's almost like watching the Moody Blues in a Fellini film. I give them high marks for being very professional and putting up with an annoying interviewer.
Electric Spoons by Ray Thomas!
Love it and the interviewer did not get it at all.
To be stoned and have to deal with this guy...AND Not laugh????? No way!!!!
So long ago
I would have cracked up if I'd been 1 of the band😂🤣
Moody Blues, could they have been more exquisite?
Oh! Thank you so much for being such an amazing fan of my music Luis🙏🤠. I hope you never stop being a fan and also stop listening to my songs🎶. Well could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan my music???
Não existe nada mais requintado do que Moody ❤ amo desde meus 12anos . Até hoje me deleito ❤estou com 65 anos.
@@dennylaine8735 I was a month shy to be 12 years old in 68 when I first heard Days of future passed and this changed my way of conceive all things in my life I just knew that I didn’t belonged where I was living at that time I was in Honduras a country with a few English spoken people. And I was one of the majority but music has its own way to communicate and found my way in a world where I didn’t belong this made me do my best in trying to learn this language so a new Moody Blues fan was borne. Soon I’ll be 67 and still listening to one of my favorite bands. Lad send me an autograph it’ll be a great gift to me. Regards
electric spoon, c'est une cuillère non pas une fourchette.
Graeme Edge was making me laugh with his "conducting."
sad he died not long ago
@@trevorlahey4205 ... Yes, but Graham, getting to 80 is not too bad. And he worked hard, almost right up to the end ...
Only the interview obviously is live, thee music- lip sync.
Larry Fulmer I also perceived.
Obviously
mike pinder looks pissed man
Yes, Mike was not only getting pissed off about him switching back from English to French to English to French again, send asking about why the different parts of the day, like why only six parts of the day ?
And I think Mike finally his asking questions off when he replied:

staypress yeah cos he tells the French man speak English . So he obliges, then does a revert. No biggie- maybe pissed because the Moodies had to lip sync the song. Dang!
looks like he would like to smack him ome
The interviewer was addressing his French audience in French and toggled back and forth to English as a courtesy to his guests. What’s not to understand about that?
@@tamistone2632 what do you mean?
Serai-ce la chanteuse Pussycat que l'on aperçoit à la fin? elle, qui a adaptée deux titres des Moody Blues. Merci pour le partage.
@@alaincelos476 A ma connaissance, Pussy cat a adaptée: stop (stop) et and my baby's gone (adieu my baby) deux morceaux de leur première période et rien d'autre, c'est Patricia qui a adaptée: nights in white satin (mes rêves de satin)
@@pacreaugerard3291 MERCI
Mike: speak English, Man!
LOL.
So he speaks a bit of English- oops back to French.
Then Nights in White Satin - awesome! Sounds just the the record. Sure, because it is!
So how do you say in franceis?
La lip syncqué?
Lip synch /play back in french!!
The eternal problem has been that the French speak english better than the English speak french. Many's a time I've tried out my french in France, and they reply in english.........
Grame acting like a choir director 😅
The speaker was so boooring!!!!!!!
