- This is my tribute to Mike Pinder, who recently passed away at age 82 on April 24, 2024. He was a key core member of The Moody Blues from 1964-1978. He cofounded the band and was known for his Mellotron playing and his songwriting skills.

Moody Blues - one of the truly greatest rock bands of all time, and Mike Pinder was a key player. Unique sound, instantly recognisable as MB, which sets them apart from almost all of the other bands at that time. Thank you Mike for your invaluable contribution, RIP.
Sad story but we can all remember Mikes contribution and enjoy his performances .
The Moody Blues were and still are unique and legendary
I don't think the passing of Mike has gotten anywhere near enough notice in this news saturated world. One of my favorite Musicians and unceasingly positive people. We will miss you Mike.
Nor Ray Thomas and Graeme Edge ( hope I spelt latter christian name correctly).
I enjoyed this tribute to a rather overlooked artist and pioneer of the marvellous Mellotron .
Despite the somewhat weekend hippy outfits I just love their music and as soon as you hear those vocals you know what you are going to hear.
Thanks for posting this about Mike. He was a very talented man🙌🙌
Thanks for doing this video. I always liked Mike Pinders songs. They were more serious and had an air of something profound about them. I use to own one of his solo records but somehow lost it over the years.
Thank you soo much for this tribute. I just happened to stumble across it here. "Have You Heard"? No, nothing, not a single word until this moment. Sad, with a world on fire, the guiding lights are the hardest to see. Pinder was the Captain...the journey continues "Out and In". God bless.
Keep in our hearts always
Justin Hayward may have been the "voice" of the Moodys, but Mike Pinder was the Sound and soul that made the band so iconic. They never could capture that aural tapestry after his departure...RIP Mike, you were indeed one of a kind. And you are sorely missed.
1968 - 1971 was unbelievable. Their music excellence will never be repeated. (I wish they stopped in 1971).
I remember the song “ Go Now “ it was very popular. I also loved The Moody’s with Justin Hayward & John Lodge into the band. Their harmony was phenomenal with John singing falsetto into the mix. Loved Mike on the Mellotron, Justin with his unique voice & Graeme Edge was a great drummer all those yrs, he & Ray Thomas were with the band from the beginning. RIP, Ray Thomas, Graeme Edge & now Mike Pinder. ♥️♥️♥️
Great review. Have all the Moody Blues albums and both Mike Pinder’s solo albums which are wonderful.
Loved Mike Pinder’s songs and particularly his mellotron playing which attracted me to the Moody Blues in the first place
Mike never been equalled in skills and taste by virtuosos on the mellotron !
He spoke the narration on "Nights in White Satin", big loss, the last original member of The Moodies, RIP
Yes, he did a lot of the spoken word reading of Graeme Edge’s poetry on their albums. I had it in my notes, but neglected to mention that. Thanks for bringing that up. I appreciate you watching and commenting. Have an excellent weekend.
Thank you for the information on Mike Pinder & The Moody Blues!👍👏👏👏💜
Wonderful tribute Dave. Thanks for the great history lesson. Although a big fan since mid-70's, i learned a lot. Rock on!
Great tribute. Thanks.
Well done.
What a well done, thoughtful and considerate tribute to Mike Pinder. Thank you for the time and effort to post this. And I wish you and your family and the Pinder family well considering the illness of your father and Mike's hardship. Peace brother.
Very touching, beautiful. Great loss of inspiration to the world. Thanks for sharing.
This is an outstanding overview of Mike Pinder's life and career. Thank you, Davey.
Thanks for the positive feedback, Todd. Much appreciated and obliged, good sir.
This night I was just thinking on Pinder's 'Melancholy Man' when, for a curious and sad synchronicity, I came across your video and knew that he passed away a few days ago. To me, Pinder and Hawyard were the most important members of the Moodie's, and those who really knew the true spirit of the ethereal sound of the band in their golden years. Whem Pinder left, to me this meant the end of the true Moody Blues sound and spirit. Thank you very much for the excellent video and precious information about lots of things about Pinder that sadly I didn't know. Best regards from Rio de Janeiro.
Thank you for this memorial 🥰🥰
Very nice tribute to the one Mike Pinder. You seem a really caring person. The Beatles and The Moodys (as well as the velvet voices of Paul McCartney and Justin Hayward specifically) awakened the romanticism in us back then and teached the world how to love IMO. I'm a mellotronic fan myself, Keith Emerson and Robert Fripp himself much later, hated the mellotron. A very uneasy instrument to control, adjust and fix. Graham Bond I think, was the first who brought it in the pop audiences back in '65.
As for "Melancholy Man", I think was the prototype love ballad for many Uriah Heep later songs. And all five original members of Moody Blues were very fine songwriters too...
Great Mike Pinder, thank you.

Thanks, Rocker. You brought up many valid points. The Mellotron was truly an unwieldy beast to control, especially in the live arena. Mr. Pinder was quite good at it, even in “the dinosaur 🦖 era” of the late sixties and early seventies. Like the amazing original era of BÖC, all the Moody cats did basically sing and write as well. Oddly enough, one of my favorite Graeme Edge tunes comes from the post-Pinder period, “22,000 Days” from the Long Distance Voyager album. I’ve always loved that particular platter from the Moody Blues since that was the first record I purchased by them, on vinyl, of course. (As a younger lad, when it came out, in 1981.) I’m glad that Mike Pinder outlived Graeme’s lyrics by more than 20 years, roughly the equivalent of about 8,000 extra days. Thanks again for your kind words.
PS: l also think that it was far easier for Graham Bond to control his Mellotron than it was for him to control Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker! 😉
Mike's last track with the Moodies on the Octave album = "One Step Into the Light" is a wonderful Transdental song with spectacular dynamics. The Promise: has some great songs on it as well.
Great info here. Nice tribute
I didn't know 😢 another artist passed, Sad.. love Moody Blues ❤❤
I had no idea! Thank you for bringing this sad news about my one of my favorite bands!
Listen to 'My brother'off the album Blue jays',(Hayward&Lodge) as a tribute to Mike Pinder from Justin Hayward!
The Blue Jays project was originally proposed by Justin in a desire to work with Mike in isolation in America ( they always appeared to have a musical connection - at least until The Day We Meet Again (from Octave) when Pinder said he had nothing to contribute or embellish 'the dirge' - interestingly I have always felt this is a lyric about Justin and Mike). Logistics and personal issues got in the way ( apparently Mike was unhappy with Tony imposing himself upon proceedings, and subsequently John wanted to participate - and it might just as well have been The Moody Blues. In the end the the two J's and Tony removed themselves to England - and gave birth to a classic.
I ❤️ this tribute. Mike was such a genius. He changed music history. Nice job Dave, this is concise and brilliant.
Nice job Davey & thank you. Love his solo version of One Step Into the Light and Among the Stars.
Thanks for the info on Pinder
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Do speak up
@@andrewarthurmatthews6685 ~ Thanks for watching and commenting. This video is three months old, I’ve gotten a new microphone since then. You can probably hear me better on my appearances on other channels. (That’s in my playlist section, under Guest Appearances on Other Channels.) I’m about to debut a new video this coming weekend, so the sound should be better.
