      Oh! I've listened to this song for decades & enjoy it every time but I didn't know it was a journey through a whole day. I've often wondered if the lyrics were a metaphor for something. But I can dig it. Thanks, man.

    I grew up listening to this group & they are one of my favorites from the 60's-80's. Love their mix of rock with classical music. They have a sound like no other band. They have so many great songs such as "Go Now", "The Story In Your Eyes", "Question", "Ride My See-Saw", "I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band)", "Gemini Dream", "The Voice", "Your Wildest Dreams" etc. But all of their music is great. Many of their records are concept albums & meant to be listened to all at once. Sadly their drummer Graeme Edge passed away recently.

      And Ray Thomas, the flute player, passed in 2018 just before the band was inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame. The second song "Evening Time" was written and performed by John Lodge the bass player. At this time there were five members of which all five wrote and four sang.

      Hey, Dagmar!! I was fortunate enough to see them live in Morgantown, WV in the mid-80s. The whole evening was like a dream. As if I had fallen asleep in the afternoon & awoke in the early evening. Felt good but slightly askew.

    The same with album Search for the Lost Cord.

    It sounds like you're going to love every part of this album ... as do we all. This is one of those early concept albums. Each song blends into the next. FWIW, the X-Men movie in 2014, "Days of Future Past" is of course a reference to this album.

  • @EchoesDaBear
    @EchoesDaBear Год назад +34

    Salvo, so glad you heard the proper 'album' version, but you NEED to hear it in the context of the album's concept for it to really hit home! Forever Afternoon (Tuesday?) is the first part, and yes, it was released as a 'single'. The latter part is Evening (Time To Get Away). This would segue into the evening section on the album - another two fantastic songs: The Sun Set and Twilight Time (my personal favourite). Seriously - you must hear the entire Days Of Future Passed album - to this day, no matter what my mood - hearing it makes me feel good! The band's music, the orchestra, vocal harmonies & lyrics - it's a complete experience! Cheers!

    • @glenndespres5317

    This album is an epic poetic composition which was meant to be listened to from start to the end, note the song titles as it passes through 1 emotional day.
    You have cut out and watched 2 of the better scenes of the movie. Afernoon and Night 😢. PS you only listened to the short version of nights in white satin.

      This 8 minute piece is just "The Afternoon". It starts mentioning evening, but the next piece after this on on the album is formally called "Evening". So, this video does not get close to "The Night". SalvoG, you're going to love this whole album.

  • @rickpopham5400
    @rickpopham5400 Год назад +15

    The killer song from this album is "The Night" which is more commonly known as "Nights in White Satin". I go between "Tuesday Afternoon" and "The Night" as being my favorites. I think the album still holds up pretty well from 1967,.

  • @cabinsnook
    @cabinsnook Год назад +18

    I was 21 when this album came out. Seven of my friends would come by on weekends and we would crank up Moody Blues songs. The music was so unique, we were blown away, and I bought every album they produced.

  • @spikeysnack
    @spikeysnack Год назад +23

    This album as a young teen opened my eyes to a tender emotion that I guess would be a higher romantic feeling toward music, something I felt as a boy was not allowed for boys to feel. But I could not help it, I was in love with the sounds and his voice and emotional tones. I joined symphonic band in high school because of this album, (and because I didn't want to march around with frozen feet in Alaska at football and outdoor hockey games ...).
    Every song on this album is amazing, and the classical bridge passages that echo the melodies between them is a sweet rest between the 60s psychedelic beats of the other songs.
    That mellotron was a magical sound when this was released. It was like a funky pipe organ, but punchier and better suited to the baselines and drums. I notice they are very careful about not stepping on the vocals with that buzzy keyboard sound, but using it to echo the vocal melody after the lines are sung, and that is very good musical writing. The whole thing is a masterpiece on par with a Beethoven or Strauss suite. There are even spoken word passages on this. It is like a musical education of several years in 41 and half minutes.

    • @bryanCJC2105
      @bryanCJC2105 Год назад +5

      I'm glad you said this. The music from back then often had men singing of love and loss, things we would feel in real life. We learned the words to express our feelings even if we couldn't cry in front of anyone. At that age, our emotions were a maelstrom of love, hate, happiness, despair, and more all ramped up to 11. These kinds of songs often helped us navigate and channel our own turbulent emotions. These songs often offered a kind of emotional release by feeling as if the singer was going through it with us, offering themselves as our release.
      I was a child when this came out but growing up hearing words like these sung by men, taught me ways to express these feelings. Whenever I could muster up the courage to reveal them to someone, I knew what to say. In any case, they were an important part of our socialization. This is something that is mostly missing from today's music. I work w young people and sometimes play my own music. I'm stunned when I hear young men in their 20s say they wish they knew how to say things to someone. I keep telling, listen and learn. That's how I learned. Like I said, I'm glad you said this because it's not often acknowledged how important it was for us boys to hear men singing about emotions and love and loss. I just wish I had learned to play an instrument like you did!

    I’m always glad to see younger people enjoying the great music of the the 60’s 70’s and 80’s. This album is indeed a classic. A fantastic mix of rock and classical music. Progressive rock if you want to give it a label.
    Many many years of music to delve into. Hundreds and hundreds of mind expanding albums to discover. ENJOY!

    • @Rob-ou1py
      @Rob-ou1py 8 месяцев назад +1

      I grew up in the '80s and we were truly and honestly blessed. Very seldom did we squirm from "different' or "alternative" music to what we were expected to like and listen to. We lived for the weekends, silly to say, but i'm not sure that any teen generation lived to party like we did. On any night, I was the lucky one whose mother trusted her enough to literally give me the house every weekend ALL WEEKEND, I was able to play Billy Joel to Iron Maiden and as much as possible in between each one. Beach Boys to Split Enz.....we were able to journey through music without a lot of judgement from our piers.....Zepplin to Simon and Garfunkel. I honestly feel sorry for what the kids expect from themselves today, from what you see on Tik-Tok, it doesn't seem to be too much. I loved living through it and the best things were the concerts. One day Lionel Richie next, Black Sabbath....and the cost was absorbable for teens, like $17-25 tops. One of the best experiences ever was David Bowies "Let's Dance" Tour....David Bowie, Peter Gabriel and The Tubes. I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and that outdoor concert literally still goes down as one of the best days of my life. Plus 25 Celsius, huge outdoor Stadium and a concert that went until 1 in the morning.....I do seriously long for those days once in a while, because being an adult can really suck sometimes. I dunno, it was truly just so different back then, none of us were angry. No one cared who was gay and if guys wore makeup, everyone loved everyone man....just the way it was. We grew up as a very accepting generation, and the myriad forms of music were there beside us to get us through every teen-age emotion that existed within us. Appreciate what you do man, some reactors just bob their heads to the music and never really appear to listen to the words...that really frustrates me. Maybe you should venture into some classical and opera. Pavarotti "Nessum Dorma" and Mozart reach into your soul and grab your guts....it's when you think that one man can write music for every Orchestral Instrument you realize the potential of the human soul. Thankyou for giving yourself the best of the world we live n. Music is inherent to our being. Just a quick little factoid, they found a Bone Flute in Germany a few years ago aged to 35,000 years old, it has the exact musical scale as it exists to this day...just goes to show you, the brain knows what it wants. Music is the math of the Universe.

    Great reaction. With moody blues always do the album version and if the song you are going for has a shortish song preceding it, play that too it’s probably really the intro. They made to be played a side at a time and they made seven amazing albums on a row

  • @rustyknyffe88

    Just nodding agreement with everyone who grew up with this incredible music. This was back when music was actually music - people playing instruments and not computerized sounds. Moody Blues made me think of knights in armor, damsels in love, heartbreak, depth of love, and purposeful wandering. SO glad you have enjoyed this beautiful piece. 💙

    I've been listening to them for literally decades. First on the radio, vinyl, cassette, and cd. I have never heard this extended version. The second half is so different than the first, it's almost like they don't go together. But wow, like you said, what a treat! I'm so glad you decided to play this version. Now I'm going to go looking for it to listen again with more focus. Thank you Salvo!

  • @hongfang2348
    @hongfang2348 Год назад +5

    Moody Blues fused rock and classical, probably the first rock group to do this, the most prominent rock group to do this. The Beatles used orchestral instruments in some of their music but I would not say their music was a fusion of the genres

    • @bookhouseboy280
      @bookhouseboy280 Год назад

      The Moodies were the first rock/pop group to utilize an orchestra in this way. The Nice with Keith Emerson (pre-ELP) took it even further. As far as the first group to fuse rock and classical, that would be Procol Harum.

    This is one of my favorite bands of all time. Their seven albums, from this one (Days of Future Passed) to The Seventh Sojourn, make up the bulwark of their best material (there is some good stuff on the albums that follow though)! Loved seeing your enthusiasm, and I really love that you are such a thoughtful listener, something I think you said in a while ago in another reaction that you have learned to develop from doing reaction videos. Brother, thank you for taking the time to listen well!

    The Moodies did a PBS special at Red Rocks in 1992 and it's fantastic. Whole orchestra. One great story--all the music from this album had been lost, so the conductor and the Moodies had to fax and phone each other for months for him to rewrite the sheet music! But it turned out so very good! Check it out. I saw them in concert in 2003 in Branson and it was just wonderful! So glad I went.

    The story goes, when they debuted this album it was to a private listening to media, family and friends. It was in a closed auditorium with a superb sound system. After it finished there was silence then a thunderous applause. People could not quite adsorb what they had just heard but they loved it. I think it's Moodys at their best. I was fortunate to have seen them in 91 with an orchestra. Magical doesn't even come close to describing that experience.

  • @annheckenbach9396
    @annheckenbach9396 Год назад +4

    I still listen to the whole thing. This was written to be of a piece, concluding with Nights in White Satin. " Cold hearted orb, that rules the night, removes the colors from our sight. Red is grey and yellow white, but we decide which is right, and which is an illusion?"
    Even if you ultimately only listen to it from beginning to end by yourself, for yourself, SO worth it!

    @truckrboat Год назад +3

    The end of the afternoon leads into the Evening which then leads into the song you have heard “Nights in White Satin”. The last four minutes of The Afternoon is talking about The Evening. That is why they cut it off back in the day at the 4 minute version because they are singing about the evening and it is basically a different song!

    • @NYCOPERAFAN
      @NYCOPERAFAN Год назад

      Between "Evening:Time to Get Away" here and Nights are the two numbers "Sunset" and "Twilight Time" along with several orchestral interludes. All of them incredible and essential to appreciate the structure of the album.

    Just FYI, the original Snow White movie was from the 1930's and was the first feature-length animated film. Aside from that, you need to listen to this whole album start to finish. We saw the 50th anniversary concert with the Moody Blues in 2018. This album occurred quite by accident - they answered a challenge from their label to do a rock/orchestral album.

    I saw the Moody Blues live in concert at the Long Beach Arena around 1969. They were a very creative and wonderful group. They used classical music as a basis for their music. The single, "Tuesday Afternoon", was a huge hit. The album "Days of Future Past" is one of the best Rock Classic Albums ever made. P.S. When I saw the Moody Blues in concert they could recreate all of this perfectly ~ LIVE ! In thsoe days ! incredible !! You found and reacted to one of the most imporant albums of all time, no one has on RUclips. Congrats !!

  • @robertmoraga1501
    @robertmoraga1501 Год назад +2

    The back story on the making of this album is really cool. In a nutshell, The Moody Blues were having trouble getting a good recording contract. They were finally hired by Decca for a very, specific gig; they were to adapt Dvorak's Symphony #9 to a popular format with a modern arrangement. However, they ditched the idea and finished the project they had already started; an original piece representing the different times of day. Decca was taken by surprise and not happy with being blindsided. However, the album had its proponents and was released as recorded. Nights in White Satin (The Night) ultimately became their biggest hit and Tuesday Afternoon (Forever Afternoon: Tuesday & Twilight Time) became a beloved track, even by non-fans. Tuesday Afternoon was written by Justin on a beautiful day when he went out to sit in a field in Surrey looking for inspiration from nature. He succeeded. The album is considered by many the first pure concept album with every song connected by a theme and in order. Love your reactions Salvo, technique and tone, among the best I have seen, kudos! And if you want to start album reviews, you could do worse than Days of Future Passed. Peace.

    As I was born in the 60s, and raised in the 70s, I grow up listening to The Moody Blues all my life. Next to Pink Floyd; this is more of my favorite bands. I got to see them once in the last 90s, and it was a Magical Experience, to say the least. I was also very lucky; as I got to sit in the very first row. Right side of the stage; just in front of John Lodge. I had even found one of his picks on the floor, when the looks came on. The lady next to me; who was her first time seeing the band as well, was almost as excited as I was when I found it. It had his name on it; so I knew who it belonged to.
    They didn't do the full version of Nights in White Satin; only because they started off with the orchestra playing the end sequence first. They even had drummer Graeme Edge come on stage first to speak the end poem of the song. Once the music ended; the rest of the band came out. One of the best nights of my life.

So many reactors leave off the Coda and it's just incomplete without it. There are SO many great Moody songs! If you ever do WATCHING AND WAITING, .ake sure to do the short songs I'D NEVER THOUGHT I'D LIVE TO BE 100 and I NEVER THOUGHT I'D LIVE TO BE A MILLION all TOGETHER before WATCHING AND WAITING!

    We always talk about Floyd being THE “stoner” band. But before Floyd, there was The Moody Blues. This came out in 1967/68, right as psychedelic rock was flourishing on both sides of the Atlantic. I do know that if you were having a party where weed was going to be present. Moody Blues was definitely one of the bands that was going to be on the turntable. Often as the party was winding down…..a really chill vibe.

    You really need to listen to an entire MB album to experience the journey they're taking you on. It's really an emotional experience, in this case, the highs and lows and deep reflections through one solitary day.

    The first seven Moody Blues albums which are frequently referred to as the 7 Core albums are a masterpiece. The are must haves for anyone who loves music.

      I was helping a friend pack up her uncle's estate. Tucked away in a corner of an upstairs bedroom was a huge stash of cds--from the carpenters to green day to ozzy--and 7 albums. The core 7. I just about fell over when she told me to take all of it as a thank you. I love the Moody Blues, never owned them all on vinyl at the same time, and I finally have a whole weekend off to enjoy them the way they were intended!

    My first memory of this album was driving in a Ford festiva on cassette back in 1990 with my dad. I was six years old. I will always have a special place in my heart for the moody blues. Most underrated band of all time.

    The orchestration around the end of the short/radio version (which you correctly identified) is one of my favorite moments in symphonic music. They have many other great songs, but this and Nights In White Satin--AKA" The Night," which you still need to hear in full (about 7 1/2 mins.)--were enough to make me a Moody Blues fan. Orchestral rock at its finest!

    My high school art teacher introduced me to listening to The Moody Blues albums, I received most of their albums up to 1979. from her upon graduation Releases after that date I purchased. Was happy when CDs came out so I didn't have to flip the album for Side B and could continue the music flow. Hope to see your reaction to the entire album and your reaction to the progression of the "day". Can't wait to witness your re-action to the entire day from brave Helios (he-LEE-os) pulling the sun across the sky (Morning) to the Bed-sitter People lamented to wasting their energy on another day spent. This album is definitely in the Concept Album category.

    Your reaction to this is one of most enthusiastic I’ve ever seen. The songs cut off because they all run together. It’s wonderful to see someone so impressed by the Moodies.

    Omg, this was soooo good, I forgot about this song, it was in the 60’s….brilliantly done! It’s like I’m hearing it for the first time. I think some of us baby boomers took our great music for granted…oh my heart! ♥️👏👏👏👏

    At 10:42 the singer, John Lodge, is followed by a high voice in falsetto (himself doing it). But, wait, where is the other backing voices from the band we used to hear here?! Well, in this album edition they had lost the recordings of the other Moodies voices, thats why John is alone being a "castrato" singer..

    The keyboard player Mike Pinder worked in the mellotron factory at one time.

  • @tobytanzer
    @tobytanzer Год назад +1

    Add my recommendation for Renaissance to your symphonic prog list. I love the Moodies too. Mike Pinder's mellotron helped create their trademark "wall of sound" brand, which sadly changed after he left the group. The Moodies remind me of John Williams. Renaissance reminds me or Rachmaninoff, Bach, Prokofiev, and Tchaikovsky. Things I Can't Understand might be a good starting point.

    I agree there are interludes of Disney and in the last part you hear a little Beatles as well. This song has 5 songs in it and they all flow together so well. Always one of my favorites but for us who grew up with them there are so many great songs to choose from over 4 decades of recordings and even now, nearly 60 years later, they still play dates.

    Saw them live in the late '70s and was stunned when Justin really did hold that long note LIVE with just one quick breath in the middle!

    Like so many before me, I grew up in a household where all types of music was played (I learned to swing dance with my dad while we listened to Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey). My sisters loved the Beatles, while my brothers listened to everything else British that wasn't The Fab Four. The Core Albums from the MB catalog are gems of the era they came from; their last album (both new and standard Christmas songs) was released in the early aughts. You need to do yourself (and your audience) a favor and play the entire (restored DOFP LP, as well as "Every Good Boy Deserves Favour" and "In Search of the Lost Chord". Not every song is a gem, but if you dig deep (and BREATH deep), you won't regret it. Looking forward to seeing your reactions to the music that has given me such joy and inspiration for so many years. "Open your mind".
