LP version with "Departure" intro.
Original video edited and remastered with HQ stereo sound.
"Ride My See-Saw" is a 1968 single by the English progressive rock band the Moody Blues. It was written by the band's bassist John Lodge, and was first released on the Moody Blues' 1968 album In Search of the Lost Chord. It was the second of two singles from that album, the other being "Voices in the Sky".
Billboard described the single as a "blockbuster rocker" that "comes on strong with all the ingredients to spiral [the Moody Blues] to the top in short order" and a "mover from start to finish." Cash Box called it a "dance track with powerful teen attraction" and "polished vocals."

Данная музыка выглядит так как будто её записывали для фильма стражи галактики 3 где в самом начале фильма начинается полет корабля и там Питер Квил слушает данную песню подаренный одним из земляков в месте с новыми наушниками.
This music looks as if it was recorded for the film Guardians of the Galaxy 3 where at the very beginning of the film the flight of the ship begins and there Peter Quill listens to this song donated by one of the countrymen in a place with new headphones.
Yep. Yep. Yep
Still a great song in July 2024...😂
The live version of this at their concert in Colorado at Red Rock was an amazing version, really amazing imho
Crank it up
Yes 😊
What times we enjoyed
Working on the assembly line, it's Friday and I'm enjoying the time go by with these guys.
❤️🔥✌️
70 years old and still enjoying them..
they seem more talented today than ever.
I have their vinyl album somewhere. 🙂
Same here!
65 and still listening.
@@Gmar69 my aunt Paula seen them play back in the 70s my mother liked the Moody Blues too when I was a kid me and mother would sing up a storm in the car R.I.P. Mom 🌹🤘them playing live at the Isle of White in the late 60s early 70s was awesome it was pretty much an English Woodstock concert that must of been something lot of acid going around during that show 🤣
What an era. Guys in suits, bursting with positive energy, smiling, making great music.
Imagine that.
Try to get the trash bands nowadays in a suit and have talent? Not possible
@@graphguy so true!! And they're covered in tattoos.
No kidding. Don't see that anymore. 😢
@@pennykloter1614 Who cares if they have tattoos? I am there to hear the music. FYI, I do not have any tats nor will I ever get one.
@@graphguy Have your been on stage in a suit? The lights will melt you
Grew up Listening to the Moodys in the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties because my Mom was a huge fan ,I still listen to them this Day in Aug of 2024! One of my All time Favorite Bands!
Like all groups of the 60s - 70s, they are slowly passing away, SIGH Music these days doesn't hold a flame to these musicians, never will.
I was so lucky to be born and grow up with these guys. 60s and 70s. What a time for music
Berzactly. Me Too!
me too 😃
I agree wholeheartedly
Takes me back to my hometown in Chandler, Az. What a time to be! ❤
@@MareShoop nice place
R.I.P Denny Laine, Clint Warwick, Graeme Edge, Ray Thomas and Mike Pinder.
Are they all gone? No way. Tell me please. That so hard to believe…
@@antoniodelrey164 Denny Laine, Clint Warwick, Ray Thomas, Mike Pinder, and Graeme Edge have passed. Justin Hayward and John Lodge are the only two left.
@@richardthomas6331 thanks 6331. That’s sad. Hard to believe most have passed on but we’re all getting up in age…
@@richardthomas6331 : Who are Justin and John in this video?
@@PalaniRides Justin Hayward plays electric guitar and John Lodge plays electric bass
I just saw John Lodge, who wrote “Ride My See-Saw”, last night. He’s 81 years old now, recovering from a stroke he had last Christmas, and he still put on a phenomenal show. This song was his encore. It brought the house down, along with other great Moody Blues songs he performed.
So Cool!
Got a few great shots of John Lodge from JULY 2019 when his band, Carl Palmer and his band opened for Yes....Anyone want to see these pics, just send me your e-mail and I will send to you....
Lucky you!!! Thanks for sharing.....Peace.
The Moody Blues have never made bad music, amazing band !
Really only one bad song in all of their discography.......Top Rank Suite.....I wish they never did it.
I'm almost 67 yrs old. I knew this song from years ago but god I forgot how absolutely cool and ahead of it's time it is. Thanks. Nice to see and hear it again.
Thanks.
69...with ya brother
68 with you also 👍🏻
Same
❤
Loved the Moody Blues! Even their 80’s music was great.
If you grow up in the 60s and 70s you knew that The Moody Blues were special
Every now and then you have to have something a little special besides hard rock and they are kind of hard rock but in a real mellow way
"a kickass rock band" --Ann Wilson
Even after 55 years I cant believe how much their music influenced my generation. Really, no words are enough.
It’s better than ever!
It’s a kinda funny 😁 song.
Really happy song, excellent video that makes me smile!
My most enduring favorite band. The _fathers_ of progressive rock. RIP Ray, Graeme, and now Denny Laine.
The Moody Blues took us along as we all explored new horizons through their music & lyrics. Their songs became the foundation of my philosophy on life. Man, these guys were dialed in!@@Broody58
This sounds as GREAT today here in 2023 as it did when I first heard it in 1968! Long Live Quality Music!
Some music is timeless.
define quality in regards to music, please?! sounds excluding and selfish.
@@morbidmanmusic Created with great imagination;-) (Thank you for asking)
@@morbidmanmusic Quality as in wayyyyyyyyy better than MC-Bodybag, Fifty Cents and all the other ridiculous garbage that they put out today
That drummer is a hell of an athlete to maintain that beat for over 4 minutes.
Graeme Edge in his prime was a monster. But playing like that is a younger man's game. I saw the Moody Blues on tour around the time that "Live at Red Rocks" came out, and there were two drummers. Graeme Edge was on one kit, and another nameless fellow was helping him. He still had the beat, but by the 1990's, he was already too old to play a few of the songs he'd played in his youth.
I went to the concert when I was somewhere around age 30 myself, and having been born in 1965, I was just old enough to remember as a kid when their music was all over the airwaves. My date was a few years younger (although still GenX), and that slight difference was enough that when I asked her, she said, "The Moody Who?" By the end of the concert, she had to admit that she'd missed a few things for being born in the early 1970's.
I was also amused when she asked for my binoculars. (We had lawn seats, way back.) Her comment: "That singer looks really cute, and I want a closer look."
Whatever Justin Hayward had in 1968 as a twenty-something, he still had it in about 1992 as a forty-something. Or so thought my date, who could have been his daughter.
@@Focusembedded Very interesting. Thanks for the thoughtful reply. :)
And in a suit & tie !
I’m 1000 years old. Still jam out to this track
😂
Moody Blues created some of the greatest sophisticated rock albums of all time. From 1969 through about 1975 no group reached such great heights of pure genius. Every song took us on incredible trips. They were so influential in rock history.
They were a good psychedelic pop band, but to put them above Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin? Not a chance.
Actually, their finest music was recorded between 1965 to 1971.
You are forgetting the dark side of the moon. Sorry to say they were on the same level
Did you stop listening to the moody blues in 71 because some of there music was un comparable Like money from dark side of the moon
@@richardharrold9736they were every bit as great as Led Zeppelin I have seen both bands multiple times I saw Led Zeppelin every year from 68 to 75 and I think you didn’t see Pink Floyd enough how about Go Now there first hit in 61
Their entire discography belongs on the shelves of every serious record collector 👏
I have 2 vinyl records and always get a thrill whenever I listen
@@donaldrhodes8761 Nice, which ones!?
Agreed!!!
Great great band very important band they bridged symphonic pop and progressive rock.
@@ledhed927 no
Such a great band, with so many songs from my childhood..Memories that I still cherish today❤
I love this song. It will NEVER sound dated. It's so well done!! Their harmony is so perfect!!
Agree!
Word.
Not to mention the dance moves...
@@aceyorbathings were beautiful
Timeless treasure! 1968 nice to see not everyone was tripping on acid...or were they?
Perhaps the most underrated band ever.
No cardi B is more underrated tbh
What makes you believe they're underrated?
@@gogoyubari366 Yeh. I always thought they were way over-rated.
@@gogoyubari366 Radio rarely plays them anymore, and it took them a long time to get in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Def a more sophisticated niche.
My boyfriend took me to see them,my first concert,we just celebrated our 50th.Anniversary last month!
How wonderful! Peace.
My wife in June 1984 took me to my first concert. (her fav,,,,John Denver)
36 years ago she became ex wife.
Looking back, I would much rather see the Moody Blues.
Such is life.
Saw them in Tahoe 1992. They were still great.
Awesome comment, thank you!
I like watching Ray do his dance.
It did make me laugh but in a good way 🤣
Ray Thomas always looked so much older than the other band members, but they eventually
Caught up. Ha
Ray Thomas was darkly handsome.
Didn't he have a side project called The Dancin' Maitre D'?
Love this song!! I'm in my sixes now and still lov !! 60 and 70s had the best music!! Went to many concerts and had lots of fun!! There will never be the Age of Innocence again!! ❤
Upon leaving home after getting married years and years ago I left my collection of Moody Blues 8-track tapes and Motorola player to my younger brother who was 13 at the time. Little did I know at the time how he'd come to embrace the band. My brother remained a Moody's fan up until the moment of his untimely passing at age 47 a little under 13 years ago. He would go to see the Moody Blues anywhere within a 300-mile radius of home. My dear, dear brother.
So sorry for your untimely loss. My youngest brother now in his 50's, became hooked when I recited Lament to him when he was wee.
I am so very sorry for the loss of your brother
Have fun while we can...you just don't know what's round that corner.....or how close that corner is...!!!!
@@relic69 Thank you for your kind and caring thoughts. Best wishes.
@@royrobles7423 I appreciate your kindness and thoughtful comments. Best wishes to you.
I remember lying in the dark as a 9 year old in 1968 with this song playing in my head.
Great memory
What a fun time for them....they must have had a blast......Noticed that they are all RIP....RIP Moody Blues and THANK YOU!!
These guys still produce original music in 2024..... weren't we lucky to hear them first time round?
The Moody Blues, pure class!!! I still listen to them after 50 years and never grow tired of their greatness. Truly timeless!!!
'Knights in White Satin ' lives on.
The first seven albums from Days of Future are classics.
One of the most talented bands of all time.
Oh lucky me,going to see Justin hayward in October for my 76th birthday...cant Wait!!
Even my mother loved the Moody Blues.
I used to love driving long trips at night on the interstate…and firing up the Moody Blues on my 8 track. Amazing time to be a late teen.
Did you experience what I did, that certain tracks would always cause the 8 track to change channels? On days of future passed it was usually twilight time that never finished.
Piece of trivia, the same guy invented the 8 track and the lear jet.
2024.07.24 Still as magical of a ride as it was 56 years ago.
Haven't heard this song in years. Glad I ran into this. What a wonderful time in the late 60's. Sad to hear the drummer Graeme Edge passed away in 2021 in Florida of cancer..
Well he was stylin cool here! He looks like a cooler Ringo. ✨😼
Love their music. They were in a league of their own.
No one had a sound like them or wrote songs like them. They were like Cream totally different.
Superb track . . . . God Bless Mike Pinder, passed away yesterday . . . . the King of the Mellotron.
Yes Pinder, like Brian Jones and a few others could play many instruments and odd ones at that. RIP to one of the Moodies, all true artists. I was lucky to see them in 1980. I think Pinder had left by then.
Was the last surviving original band member as well 😕
Yes, definitely, RIP. Him and John Paul Jones for Mellotron!
@coreyfagan1019
The rest have all passed?
😢😢
@@ianstuart5660 Yes, all the original members, which doesn't include Justin Hayward and John Lodge.
Man, do I miss the old days😅
Best song by the Moodies, it's like a train running wild and never to stop. 100% excitement!
One of the best Rock songs of all time.
I'm 70 this is my number 1 band of all time!!!! Had the opportunity to see them on their many tours. Solid music STILL withstands the test of time ageless
I’m 70 also. There is a woman whom this music brings back memories.
You were truly blessed to see them live! 64 years old and remember my older cousin turned me on to the MB! RIParadise my favorite cousin! Aloha
72 here and loved this band. Had all of it on 8 track!!!
Was in high school back then was my favorite band, some of my classmates thought I was strange because I liked them, graduated in 1969.
💀..as in R.Plant..?..(he's KILLIN IT on that Telecaster..Ohh Yah..!!)
I’m 129 years old and I’ll never get tired of this song.
You don't look a day past 107 years! What's your secret to such a l-o-n-g life? 🦆
Such a fabulous group! Loved Days of Future Passed. The 60's and 70's were awesome!
They used to play in Daytona Beach a lot. I saw them four times. The local orchestra would play with them. Sublime.
Dig the foot shuffle and ties...
One of the oddest, yet most beautiful, songs ever recorded....IMHO.
" Ride my See Saw" and way so many more of those Moody Blues songs are the absolute greatest and I am glad to be in a part of the time frame that they are in, even though Ray Thomas and Graem Edge are no longer with us. Rest in peace!
The Moody Blues used such meaningful metaphors and emotional expressions in their songs. Their music is very spiritual.
My favorite band ever since 1969!!!
A true gem of a song, the guitar solo is addictive, and that one note just keeps hanging in the air ...
They have some great guitar playing in a lot of songs just brilliant musicians
I was 16 when this came out. Just loved these guys and their music. Still do. What a time for music. I loved it that Art Bell used this song. "Wanna take a ride".
The classiest rock band of the 60s and 70s. This is the good stuff.
not good enough for the rock hall of fame though, but the beastie boys are.
Great tune...Ray's shuffle is everything in this.
I love Ray in this. Makes me smile every time.
Any Hollies fans out there? He’s channeling Allan Clarke
Ray’s got his “swerve” move going on big time here, love it!
@@cd3694I love the Hollies! 😅
Yeah, I was digging that!
The winner of the best dressed band of '68 is the Moody Blues. The Kinks were a distant second.
Ha ! Mod was the look !
I am so glad I grew up in an era with this wonderful music of the 60s and 70s. The Moody Blues are my favorite band and their music will never go out of style.
I saw them with San Diego symphony. It was awesome. My number one band of a ll time with or without acid
I can remember walking through Piedmont Park on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon hearing The Moody Blues or a San Francisco rock band softly blaring in the background…what a great time!
It would take forever to explain their impact in music history. In my college days we wore out moody blues albums playing day after day. It was a privilege to be listening to them in their time.
We wore out Moody Blues 8-Track tapes even quicker, but cruising through the mountains w/ their music playing was the coolest! IMO, they had no rival; their music was & still is incredible.
Moody Blues, one of my favorite bands. Their songs were more cerebral then most other bands.
Ride the wave Mike. Your brilliant work is complete. Say hello to Ray, Gram, and Denny. You guys leave us a little richer and happier!
@@davetomlin5246 Don't forget Clint Warwick
They were ahead of their time! Still fresh and relevant!
What a band timeless music. Didn't even care none of the instruments were plugged in.
It's good to be able to see what they look like. Lip-Synching isn't always horrible.
Mike pinder passed away yesterday rest in peace in land of the Hammond organ in heaven!.from shaz in the East Midlands
@@sharonastill The mellotron.
This gets me going like no other, I feel like a little girl again chasing friends around the playground equipment, going up and down on the wooden see saw with metal handles, using feet to propel higher. John Lodge is a monster bassist and carry’s us along until we are ready set go for blastoff 💥🚀!!
John Lodge is so handsome,I love this band!
Timeless masterpiece. This will ALWAYS sound good

So glad they finally got into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame.
December 12th, 2023 - Now THIS, is MUSIC ! Mind-boggling Talent on display here, as relevant today as it was back in the Sixties !! The UK has given us several of the greatest performers ever, way too many to name as the list is incredibly
long ❣ 🇬🇧 Roland Singh, Canada 🇨🇦
Yes it is!
British Invasion and the Moodies are da bomb! 😉 ♥️
Good on yer Roland!
Lots of talent here, a shame that they couldn't have played live.
They were my number one band when I was young in 1970, their music is still pertinent today.
*These fellas have always been & will always be groovy* ☮🎸🎶
and far out , man !!!
The Association blew them off stage at the monterey pop festival.
The Association were great musicians and performers who could write songs but not like the Moody’s.
I was sweet sixteen when this song came out. My girlfriend and I would listen to this and the Moody Blues other songs and make out in her living room. Flower children we were and will always be. Thank you, Moody Blues, for these great songs that are timeless. They mean so much to me and my teenage memories.
Feel lucky to have seen them live twice. Great band.
Great band. I was born in ‘65 but loved music from my earliest days. I remember my uncle, who was a Vietnam veteran and wounded terribly during Tet, putting in an 8-Track of the Beatles White album and saying, “Tommy, this is the greatest rock and roll band ever” while we were driving down an Ohio interstate. I must have been four or five. My Mom liked the Moody Blues as well as Carrol King and the Turtles. What a great time for music.
My favorite Moody Blues song
I loved it, my kids grew to love it and I still love it....those are my guys....all the way.
What an absolute masterful musical production! I feel so blessed to have witnessed music of this caliber when it was originally released.... and I'm still able to rock to it all these years later. The Moody Blues, one of the greatest bands ever.
My favorite Moody Blues tune! 2024
Such a happy song, I first heard it as a 10 year old in the evening on the school playground in southern Californiaholding a cheap am radio while swinging on the swing set radio in hand all by myself 😁
14th September 1968 edition of the BBC2 music show, Colour Me Pop. R.I.P. Ray and Graeme
These guys were several cuts above the usual 70's rotgut rock 'n roll. Even in high school I knew quality.
Yo these guys got all the super babes too! The perfect touch of psychedelia and keeping with the times. And putting on some of the best shows ever.
Timeless classic. The beginning is such gold.
That driving beat! Love this song!!!!
My exact thought too. Driving throughout.
Running In Place; cool rhythm section 😅
The best band EVER!!!!! They are so phenomenal!!!! I have all their albums, they are so very great..... They are my favorite band.... 💙💙💙💙....
Profoundly good rock and roll song, and yet punk bands held them in contempt. I can't remember one punk song now, but I can remember every hit the Moody Blues ever made.
Such a cool group. To this day they have an army of fans in the millions.
Welcome to our grandparents were way cooler than us.
Darned right we were! We had THESE gents!!!!
Vocally, these guys were probably the most complex and incredible singers during the late 60s and 70s. And their music was sensational.
Great Band great harmonies. I saw them live and they were every bit as good LIVE as on recording.
The drummer of any band makes or breaks the band. He fucking rocks
AGREED
RIP Graeme Edge ….. performed the opening poetry
Graeme was a very powerful man~drummer~time keeper, he’s fantastic! 😅
Bill Ward of Black Sabbath was better....so was Buddy Rich and Neil Peart.
@ilovekansas Wrote it, too.
These guys were way ahead of their time, what an excellent band.
Nope, sorry... they were in their time and they reflected and influenced it.
R I G H T {{ON}} T I M E!!👌♥️
Was in High School in San Antonio, Tx,, such good memories with this great band. Such great music, Now I'm 70 and still enjoy the Moodies as much as ever.!!!
I smoked my first bowl of Hash while this song blasted from the speakers. I was 15. It was 1970.
My favourite by the MBs I remember my father knocking on my bedroom door asking me what I was playing: Nights in White Satin, huge hit in France.
Brilliant memory! I remember my father telling me to turn it down😂 👍🏻
@@Daniel-deMerrivaleah!ah! My father was cooler than yours! 😂😂😂
@@jean-lucjanot7054 As far as the Moody’s ….yes 😂😂
Great song! The Moody Blues had this as their encore song at many of the best concerts I've ever seen. Always a crowd pleaser!
Look how young these guys are makes me feel old.
A total killer song from my favorite albums of theirs. The Moody Blues could rock when they wanted to do so.
Wow, that closeup of Justin Hayward's playing just blows my mind. Thank you so much for posting this - it's one of my favorite Moody Blues songs.
Glad you enjoyed it!
He did a good job of pretending to play. None of the instruments or mics were plugged into anything. The guitars didn't even pretend to have cables. It must have been terrible having to fake live music back then.
Love looking at-watching musician’s fingers-hands too; their “instrument” also…Justin’s a fab guitar slinger
I won't use the U-Word here, but Hayward is a fantastic guitar player.
The Moodies were so awesome...their first 7 albums were incomparable. Justin and John were the balladeer and troubadour, Graeme the poet, Ray the leprechaun, and Mike the futurist. I loved just about everything they did musically. They were at the height of their powers at this time and their legacy will hopefully live on long after our generation passes on. The Moodies spoke volumes for our generation and I miss them not being around any longer to carry on. So I listen to their albums and sing their tunes! Rock on, boys!
The Ramones blew them away at CBGB's in 1977!
The music was great and the musicians were amazing and awesome the music never gets old
