The first three cuts (w/lyrics) of The Moody Blues album; "On The Threshold Of A Dream". Hope you enjoy- Joe
My dad fixed Moody Blues broken down van in the early 70's ...they gave him this album signed by all of them... must have listened to it a thousand times since I was seven years old
Dinah Darling - Oh my gosh! That album, signed by all the band members! What a treasure! Surely, one of your most prized possessions? Please tell me you still have it!
I've been listening to it too since I've been a little kid, and I never tire of it. Every song on this album is so good, and that opening... wow... that has been burned into my memory. Certainly one of my favorite records of all time.
lucky, absolutely.
That's awesome!
💙
Wow how fantastic is
If you don't have this album ,your collection is not complete.
So true
This LP is my favorite, I like all the 5 first album but this one is the best
When the songs on your 50 year old album are still cutting edge you are one of the best.
Ex-actly right!
Amen....
Het huist in je ziel forceer!! With Love. L
Het woont in je ziel ook liefde

I am almost 70 years old. Still listening. Good music never dies
Iwill be 71 this year!
I will be 74 in 2024. Life is good!
I am also 69 and expecting a new "position" this year... ;-)
@@micheltremblaywebcellance9438 dang. I'm. 69 and. I love. This just love it 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶😍🥰
Yeah, at 75 still listen to most all their masterpieces
I was turned on to the Moody Blues by my girl friend in 1971. Love them still today
Their music and lyrics are mystical.. They opened doors of perception.
Beautifully said!
Try them with a little LSD or Mescaline about midnight.
@@billbailey7302 Flyagaric or Psylocybin also V Effective !
Absolutely awesome story man. Your dad will never forget that as long as he lives. And if you still got it that's a great momento to hang on too
The talent level in this band is simply incredible.
They all had PhDs in music - very talented.
Justin Hayward and John Lodge we key members as is evidenced by their later collaboration as the Blue Jays.All were talented.
In an age where we are questioning consciousness more than ever, the words to In The Beginning are more profound to me that when I was a fourteen year old listening to this. Brilliant for these young men at the time to create this! Love to The Moody's and their fans!
They are so appropriate to all the government control, etc!
My 2 cents worth: CONGRATULATIONS MOODY BLUES FOR MAKING THE BEST STONER, TRIPPING VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN!! BRAVO!!
The whole band writes incredible lyrics - not to mention the music....... 55 years on, this the only band I never get tired of.
Well said..m.s.
Perfectly stated!!!!!
Les Moody Blues ont enregistré un bon nombre de chef d'œuvre mais On the Threshold of a Dream est pour moi le meilleur. J'adore cette album et depuis que je l'ai découvert (un peu par hasard) il y a 25 ans environ je l'écoute souvent.
I am 78 and never stopped listening to this great group ❤️
The decades may have passed but this music still has no equal !!!
Indeed
Amen...
there is nothing today that even comes close!
But Joan Jett gets in the R&R HOF ahead of them?
Timeless!!
still amazing after 50+ years!!!
So calming and serene to my soul through distressing times. In my younger days I took an acid trip with the Moody Blues and the message was we are all star beings going to the sun. I can’t remember what album it was. It was the one I think of going through doors opening. Which is a profound message. I’ve never forgot it. Thanks to the Universe.
It was in Search of the Last Chord
I just saw John Lodge last month and he was awesome. So glad he is keeping Moody Blues' songs alive
Loving singing this... hope my neighbour doesn't mind
How can 95 people not like this?
Threshold of a dream ....... early teens lay down dark room and enjoy.
No drugs needed and never used.
Deep sleep.
They have never heard good music, just head banging and sexual lyrics
Listening to this, I can't help but think that the world has lost a great flute player in Ray Thomas. Rest in Peace, Ray. You brought a lot of joy to a lot of listeners.
Although, the flutist that Justin Hayward and the guys(those who are left), are now using is good. She just doesn't compare to Ray Thomas. I was fortunate to have seen him in concert in Saratoga Springs, NY. And I have to believe that he is finally relaxing in Heaven, but still playing, but this time for God! Rest In Peace, Ray Thomas. You can tell that he put his whole heart into the songs that he played!
I kept writing the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame of why they haven't put Moody Blues at their top of list and then they finally inducted the Moody Blues.. long overdue
No one really compares to this band oh there’s plenty of great bands but
the creative force in their thought provoking songs is a legacy for all humanity. ❤️
so True....they help us REMEMBER who/what we truly ARE....they can cure your AMNESIA here in this dream Earth-life were presently in...IF your ready for it...some of us are AWAKE..but unforetunitly ...most are still sleeping through their lives...WAKE UP!!!
Pink Floyd came close with Dark Side of the Moon.
Timely...
Queen is up there, too.
They're mor tailor made for 🇺🇸
The worlds smallest symphony band!
Nothing short of Astounding and Amazing
Amazing piece of music so far ahead of its’ time. This band is one of the best.
Without Question!!!!!
Yes they are!
I'm blown away where have I been
Not ahead of its time -- there for all time.
Face piles of trials with smiles, I still remember that from 40 years ago!
No words can say what this album does for me and has for 49 Years now....
ditto!
That's why we have music.
My music spans from the 40s big bands 2 Mozart & most in between
I had the Honor to see them preform in Buffalo NY mid 1970’s
Great Show
Thank You for the Memories
RIP Ray Thomas
@@bethsherdell2413 I'm been an fan for as long as I can remember. I was off the charts happy when the got into the Hall.
.
I was in high school from 68-72 and had an older brother who turned me on to all the great lp's from this amazing group. One of the all time great bands for sure!!!
Was in hs also from 68-72. Lived in a rural area where the FM signal just didn't quite reach. Had only heard " Nights in White Satin" in '71 before I went to college in fall '72. Got exposed to the "Core 7" there.
The rest is history.
Me too.
My exact story, same years, older brother. Thank you Mike for showing me the Moodies. RIP.
"On the Threshold of a Dream" is an incredible album. Many of the songs are classics. 69-72 for me. Such an under appreciated band. "Dear Diary" is one of my favorites, off of it. . . . . Inside me, yours truly, Dear Diary. . . . .
Got too see them live one of the best show's i saw tripping on mescalin
Their music creates a mystical childlike euphoria inside me...I recall all of the good memories from childhood and adolescent years.. I feel warmth listening to the moody blues...and safe
yes
"mystical childlike euphoria"
👍👏
I am new among the Moody Blues fans, but, wow, this is incredible! Great we have LPs and CDs. Bands come and go, people die, but great art stays. It is up to us to preserve it for next generations.
Saw the Moodies way back in the day..such a trip man...so good
Photographed them in early 80s for a music magazine, was a highlight in my concert experience,
In the 90s I worked for a small local music magazine in Vegas, I got to take pics of Moody Blues up front, I still have these pics, also did quite a few other bands, which I won't elaborate on, good Xs
Absolutely love the Moody Blues' music! Classic rock. One of the most underrated bands of all time.
Lucky to see them play in Cleveland Ohio
Predicated the survalrnce state 40 yrs before it came into force and how to react to it.❤
Moody Blues just never gets old...
Their music was so original for the time. I will keep listening forever...
Inspiration, explorers of effects and colors of sound. What an ensemble of poetry, voices, choirs, portraits of a time. Extraordinary band. True musicians creating true and eternal music.
I am a Moddy Blues junkie. I have been fortunate enough to see them in concert several times.
They still can crank out a great concert, but I really miss Ray.
I thank God for music like this and the artists who created it!!!
The Moody Blues and the Floyd,with Yes were the Go-to bands for mental excursions @ parties and just being with like minded travellers back in the late 60-1970`s.Now Ihave added Porcupine Tree/S Wison to that list.@70 can do as I please.
Homage to Rene DesCartes
Seen em live multiple times :) !
Me too, 28 blessed times and they always took me on a magical musical trip
The Moodies first album changed me and my musical perceptions forever.
Trip heads all enjoyed this album
This s so amazing what the next life can be like just too be reborn back the earth hell I want Jesus Christ 🙏 thank you our fathers mothers in heavenly places 💞
thank you to the moody blues for this lovely song and to all of their hits
I haven’t listened to this in 40 years. It made me cry.
I listen every month to hear QUALITY music
I am happy I had the opportunity to see these guys three times in my life. Could never figure out how they didn't hold the same popularity as Pink Floyd etc.
Too clueless to understand the message. That's what "Dear Diary" is trying to convey.
@@bdickinson6751 you got that right...how do you tell a fish what its like to live on the land? you can't...most folks are still BLIND to REALITY...
because they were never as good as Pink Floyd
From what I read, I don't believe they wanted the kind of popularity that broke the Beatles. They wanted to be able to live their lives AND create great music.
From 67-72 they were more popular than Pink Floyd. Sold more albums had bigger tours. They took a 5 year hiatus, and Pink Floyd simply exploded with some all time great music. They were never the same after Mike Pinder left the group.
My sister and I just saw Justin in concert and he sounded amazing…now I’m 60 and my sister 53 so it’s not like we grew up with this music but it’s truly a masterpiece of a band, the Moody Blues ❤
Tenho 71 anos e não me canso de ouvir, quando para isso tenho oportunidade!
My very first concert, what a great begining! It was at the Chicago Stadium and I was 17, I caught a punch meant for my date and went home with a black eye. What a memory!
It doesn't get any better than that. Mike Pinder, Justin Hayward, John Lodge, Ray Thomas (May he rest in peace), Graeme Edge, God bless the Moody Blues!
Thanks for sharing this...
I love what Jay Sands had to say..."the Moody Blues have been my religion....". Well, I feel that way, too. I've been listening for more than 50 years and they still evoke such beauty and spirituality in their songs/albums with their gorgeous lyrics, beautiful vocals and superb musicianship. They make my soul soar. I will love them forever.
brought me to SPIRITUALITY - The Great Pyramid gave me a College Education
Mine to (religion) 67 yrs old and will love them till the end of my time.
Mine too.
@@jameshill8183 agreed
👍👍👍👍🎶🎶🎶🍷🍷🍷🍷
Lovely to see you again, my friend...
I still have my very scratched up lp of this - i loved them from childhood and fully aware of the depth of the words and meanings have grown with life experiences since too - magic
RIP Graeme Edge. Thanks for the music.
How can you not like these three great songs in this order because they should never be played in any other order !
You JUST CAN'T!! I AGREE. 🤠🖖
Thank you, Moody Blues, for so many years of simply perfect music.
Thank You So Very Much!!! I,m in my 60s and it is so awesome to hear moody blues again!! It reawakens the beauty that has been buried from this life!! I feel alive again!!
Ray Thomas WAS A genius!!!
So far ahead of their time..The lyrics..the musical talent..the vocals..if you can’t appreciate the Moodies then we’ll.. i truly feel for ya..seen em three times and just the best. Ty
Best concert ever. A hot summer night in West Palm Beach, FL. The surreal experience surpassed any other performance I have ever seen, and that is many. Truly Legendary and relevant to this day!
This music puts me in a great mood, they are truly a great band
this will never grow old,it is allways a new beginnning i grock moody blues
Cut my teeth on this music. My dad's music. I'm 52!
Love the flute like Jethro Tull!
Still alive today, because he didn't know we played his records!!!
They were a band before their time!
Lovely to see you again my friend Such a great song
Fell in love with the MOODY BLUES while stationed in Germany with the US Army 1970-72
Got all there albums from the beginning... legends..
1972 is when I really got into listening to Moody Blues....blew my mind and was hooked
Only they could produce albums so iconic
Their music is so inspirational, back then, and currently in today's craziness! Got to see them in Saint Louis at two concerts at the old Saint Louis Arena (where the Blues did their hockey games) 1970, & 1971? Anyway, never got mixed up into a bad crowd, nor hard drugs, nor heavy drinking. Whew! Was lucky as hell! Survived all of those times. Loved them then, and still love them to this day.
🗣💨💨💨💨 🙂
What a small world. I saw them there also. Just amazing. Trapeze opened for them the first time and were great as well. Charlie Star opened the second time and had the whole crowd singing "Jump down, turn around, pick a bale of cotton" along with him. The definition of surrealism.
great tune by the Moodies
Moody Blues is helping me to understand more clearly now. They are bringing me alive in a new way. The one we all are finding. ❤️
Wonderful day, passing my way, knock on my door, even the score with your eyes. Lovely to see you again my friend! Walk along with me to the next bend.
Thank you Joe, ahh Such GRAND Memories.
So Young , Beautiful , And That Touch Of New Found Freedom. 🤠🖖
The Mike Pinder years draw to a glorious close. Emphasis on the word "glorious".
Nicely done Joe! Really shows the influence of Ray, also.
People couldn't sit still for music like this. I was star struck by them ELP Yes. On and on and on. Never again will a generation experience such icons as these the beatles the stones. Lucky man.
Edit. How could i forget the Pink?
When I was 14 this album saved my life and gave me a new incite on my life x
This was a fantastic album first time I heard it was back in 1972 and was doing acid Wow I floated on this album. And it is fantastic even when you're not High 😅
Grew up with The Moody Blues always love them
The two disc compilation set "This is the Moody Blues" is genius, includes these tunes
First album I ever owned...
These guys just freaking rock and alot of people don't listen ,why?
Justin once said that "we weren't for everybody". That was probably a polite way of saying that not everybody is at a higher level of awareness to understand where they were coming from.
Definitely helps if you’re smoking a 5 skinner at the time. Absolutely brilliant music.
been listening to them for over 50 yrs and still do,never get tired of listening to them ,Love them !!
The fidelity of these tracks is brilliant with such clarity of all instruments and vocals.
One of best underrated song in rock Fab.
There you go man
Keep as cool as you can
Face piles of trial with smile
It riles them to believe that you perceive the webs they weave.
AND KEEP THINKING FREE!
Boy do those words address today’s gov’t...
I still listen to it in 2020 and it's still amazing. It's timeless! Sorry, but I cracked up at the misinterpretation of "Who ordered that?" The original lyrics are "I'm more than that." Followed by, "I know I am. At least, I think I must be." I wish they would remix the entire album and bring the bass and high-end to where they are by today's standards. I know it's impossible, but I can still wish for it.
Agreed. The 'words' and bad grammar put on the video ruin it. Best to just listen and enjoy. 😀
Great vid Joe. The legacy of this band shall live on!
Bravo to Ray and his excellent flute ...Ray ~ RIP
Face pyles of trials with smiles ...it riles ....keep on thinking free....what a great line
I loved this album in 1970 🇺🇸 💙 🎶🎶🎵🎶 🎶🎶🎵
Someone exploded an H-bomb today, but it wasn't anybody I knew 🤣🤣 what an amazing line!
We appreciate your posting music like this must never be forgotten
If you just don't like the Moody Blues I can accept that but I'll never understand it !
I was just coming up to 16 yrs old when Question of balance came out and i am so pleased to have grown up with such a variety of music in my youth.
This was the 2nd album I purchased. I was in High School and bought it the week it came out. My first album purchased was Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix. I was not just another farm girl.
Such iconoclasm, such grandeur, such an improbable cosmic landscape full of darkness, light, fear and wonder and above all mystery, with blasts that plunge you into a trance followed by sudden changes that wake you up, eyes wide and quivering eyebrows. I've been listening to this every now and then for ages and still hear new subtleties🕊️🔥
Beauty in the human experience, as God intends. We walk with one another .
