It's wonderfully generous of Justin to share these videos for free and talk about them in his usual personal and highly personable way. One of the greatest songwriters the world has ever seen, and a singer/guitarist of equal esteem.
@@victoriachinavare5535 if you consider Justin's canon, particularly his early compositions, they are amongst the greatest in all of popular music. Intricate, emotional, highly creative, and, above all, totally original. You can't compare Nights In White Satin, Story In Your Eyes, Tuesday Afternoon, Gypsy, Meanwhile, Are You Sitting Comfortably? or any of his other great songs to the work of any other writer... and certainly the usual "Lennon/McCartney" comparisons don't apply. Everything has his own unmistakable and unique mark on it, and that's an incredibly rare thing in music, where most artists' influences can be fairly easily heard, or at least comparisons are not too difficult. Justin totally forged his own path.
Oh we are so lucky to have this STILL being performed by this incredible artist, and so skilfully as always.
Thank you to you all, again, adoring these snippets....in the absence of live concerts for now .
4:31 4:32 😮
This, to me, is one of the most typical Moody's songs; music and lyrics are burned in my mind. And still the way Justin sings it, the new setting in his personal tour, so different but with so much style.
Fan since 1968. Can't get too much of the Moody Blues!
can you believe here weare, 50+ years later?
this and Question...my favs...
Finding them was fantastic.....I'm still amazed by their unique talent....
Spot on...I will never bet enough of The Moody Blues and this beautiful song is one of the best he has ever done = so beautiful and this man is classy!!!!!!
Moody blues for ever. Been a loyal fane since 1970
I can't listen to this song enough. One of Justin's best. His vocals are amazing, as usual.
However it seems to me Justin has some trouble with his vocal chords. Now and then he's having difficulties to produce a consistent volume, like he's choking at 5:52 : "The sou-ound I have heard in your hell-oo".
@@petergemmeke2867
Fair enough. But he's also 74 years old with over 50 years of live tours under his belt. Still sounds alright all things considered. Not everyone's voice can age like Jon Anderson, unfortunately.
Time To Wake Up yes very true but see all these type of singers sing properly and not over stretching the vocal chords or literary shouting the words like Roger Daltrey does nearly all the heavier Rock singers think or seem to want to shout their vocals and the ones in their 70’s now their voices are shot because of the style of music they still try and sing, That’s why the bands or solo artists that do more sensitive material will always keep their voices 👍😀
@@sheer2waist637 case in point James Taylor and Cat Stevens. ✌🏼
@@sheer2waist637 Robert Plant, shot at 30!
One of the world’s best songs and that flute is wonderful. The young artists with you are great 👍.
A very beautiful and haunting song! In Search of the Lost Chord was an album that really hooked me to the Moody Blues. The Moodies have a unique sound and talent.
I had a friend turn me on to Moody Blues in 1971 while serving in the Armed Forces. Resonated instantly with them. They are still my favorite band of all time. I am 71.
This song is impossibly beautiful.
Extraordinary now as it was when I first heard in 1971-72! As a soldier in Vietnam and the years following, this music of the Moody Blues helped to keep me from going insane.
It Sure Helps Us All What Ever We Go Through. A Blessing 😇🎶❤️😇🎶🎤
❤❤❤❤❤👍👍💪🇮🇹
Likewise in Thailand as member of USAF in 1972. No doubt I had it a lot easier than you did in Vietnam.
War is the ultimate hell for sure. The fact that this song helped your minds in those times my brothers is a testimony to its power. We all used this music to seek enlightenment. The 1960s were the true beginning of human civilization. Whatever darkness humanity encounters in the future, we have seen the light and music like this has helped us to see it. God bless us all.
Still sounds great after all these years....
Justin Hayward wrote so many Beautiful songs.There will never be a better band Then Moody Blues.And Two solo singers as Justin Hayward and John Lodge.Keeps you wondering what this song was about or who was written for. BEAUTIFUL. Love Tuesday Afternoon songs Justin is doing.
And the amazing thing about John Lodge voice is that at a certain pitch it is almost identical to Justin's . Two voices in harmonic perfection.
Sharon - you are SO spot on - wish I could of met a man such as Justin Hayward - what a beautiful man with the most beautiful voice and music I ever heard.
These guys were/are great. No doubt.
But, the Beatles opened all the doors. And Brian Wilson.
@@robertastone7155 I actually did meet John at a show in Hartford CT, March 2020, just before Covid shut everything down. He was a perfect gentleman spending about a half hour with a handful of fans before the show.
There's a distant sadness in the sound.
which is probably why I invariably tear up when I listen to it...
This made my day
Love this... Beautiful lyrics... The sound I have heard in your "hello"...... She sits and gazes from her window!!. ❣️ Pure genius Justin as always. ❣️ 😊
Hi Justin. Do you remember endorsing HDA in 1993? You and the original Moody Blues taped my infomercial in Dallas. I had the greatest sound processer at that time. Always wishing you the best
Love you for 50 years! This is so beautiful- takes me back and tears flow
Just a bewitchingly gorgeous song; always was, always will be. thank you Justin ❤️
Pamela Baker I see a lot of your comments is that Justin Hayward? Picture is so small.
@@sharontrimmer8578 why, yes it is
Lovely to see you again Justin ♥️
Beautiful song on a Tuesday afternoon
One of the greatest song writers of all time.
so many.
Justin, thank you so much for these Tuesday Afternoon gifts! Hearing these scaled-down, intimate performances of my favorite songs AND getting stories about each of them has been a priceless treasure to me at a time when I really need something to look forward to every week. Thank you!
The vocal and flute harmonies. No wonder you mentioned that before the tape rolled.
Justin, your voice is still beautiful and carries the emotion that makes your songs so meaningful to all your fans. The musicians you've assembled to perform with you here are perfect! Thank you for this series...hope to see you in Ohio when we can once again enjoy live performances.
The Moody Blues will never go out of style !!! The music is Timeless !! 💜✌💜✌💜
Thank you for remembering.
Absolute brilliance!
Awesome. Thank you sir. We love ya in Ohio
Welcome home fellow veteran. Hayward has helped a lot of us keep our heads together and he is still at it. We old warriors find a peaceful healing vibe in this music. We need more of this.
One of my favorites... but how can all of his songs be my favorites then?
Another fine performance Justin.
Suppose about fifty years now been listening...the best....
Ray Thomas, never will I forget you, Eye to Eye.
Lovely, Thank you Justin.
That past we shared is like a flowing river going to the sea. I remember that flat, a bit dark distant past. Hey we are survivors not living in bayswater anymore!!
👍👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰...and The Ladies are beautiful.
This will always be one of my favorite songs, and bring me back to a certain time, place, and headspace for however long I live. Thank you for it.
“The sound
I have heard in your hello...” ♥️ 💔
All of that said, I wish I could also hear more about what was happening at that Russian embassy, although (edited to add) he maybe was just alluding to the “interesting” state of diplomacy with the USSR in a more general sense, at the time.
Thanks for your comments on my post,You can send a direct message to my private page.
@@davidjustinhayward1936 Every Good Boy Deserves Favour is what really connected me to the Moody Blues - One day I hope we'll be in perfect harmony, a planet with one mind. Soooo to the point. Lov all what you guys did , it really talked to me. yours songs have to reverberate to all our future generations, and maybe past ;) .... Love you Justin
I have always enjoyed "The Actor", Justin! Thanks for sharing it on this Tuesday Afternoon, 08-25
Tyooooosdaaaaay aaaaafternoon....
I haven't heard this song in years and it's splendid and faithful to the original 👍
Thank you. Just beautiful and fills my ❤.
AH! One of my FAVORITE songs! I used to play this CD on the way to university and I would push play over and over for this song! Thank you for doing this for those of us who truly miss you SO much!
If I was stuck on a desert island and only had one album, it would be This Is The Moody Blues!!! Thank You for a lifetime of the most wonderful music!!!!🌲🌲(Redwoods because I’m from California!)
Of course the voice of the Moody Blues would have a Lava Lamp in his studio! That was some sweet music!
You are so right! I noticed the lava lamp straight away too!
Love it Justin. One of my all time favorites! Keep them coming! Love you and the Moody Blues!
This is such a beautiful song. Sometimes it makes me cry.
Brilliant performance, thank you for sharing this Justin. Stay safe, man! :)
Justin And Band Members...GREAT JOB!!!
Grips my soul every time I hear Moodys. 🥰💖
Indescribable are the emotions, feelings and thoughts that the music of this talented group of Master Musicians known as "The Moody Blues" have given to us, music lovers. Their classic sound and style are a gift to this world.
Having listened to your music over the years, I have often wondered where the prolific words and amazing musicianship have come from? Or, is it simply, that God kissed you on the cheek? Thank you for sharing.
Amen.
G-d was in a good mood the day he made Justin Hayward.
@@pamelarollins118 yes for sure
God just wanted real music to listen too, that is the Moody Blues and the members of the group
@@signal12hvac God's got Class, he expressed it from the beginning with previous and past members
Thank you for these Tuesdays Justin, it’s so nice to let the decades drift back. Best thing about being in my mid to late 60’s memories
This song and Album bring back such precious memories for me..wish I could turn back the page, and live it all over..the very best if times in my life..Thankyou Moodies..your the one..✝
Justin has the best voice EVER!
Amen.
And still singing beautifully in his early 70’s. He’s definitely one of the greatest singer/songwriters of the last 50 years that’s for sure.
My favorite, as well!
Love this song it's so beautiful
Wonderful song and I enjoy playing along on the flute, too.
After all these years, I've figured out why I've loved the Moody Blues since I first heard them. With beautiful music along with Hayward's smooth as silk voice, they appeal to my intellect and soul. What a loss if they had never been.
Justin - please,
Beautiful, Justin, thanks so much for this. So many memories.
Hi Justin, Thank you for raising the curtain on the scene! The play, song, and band performance are simply gorgeous. Many masterpieces were written in Bayswater and I'll check out the location where the magic happened!
One of my all time favorites and probably the most emotionally vulnerable songs of all time. Fell in love with Justin and his messages in my late teens listening to this song over and over with my headphones.
Each time I listen it transports me to a timeless place, especially for me now that I have seen it played live after all these years it kind of unites my feeling between how it felt then, and how it feels now. These days I only play the Moody Blues when I'm driving, sometimes I get my car out when I don't need to go anywhere just to get that 'listening to Moody Blues whilst driving' kick..
I'd love to hear 'New Horizon' live - is my new hope.
Your music makes my heart implode upon itself. (Don't worry...i like it.)
Not many Mexicans Moody Blues fans, I'm certainly one of the few, but one of the most loyal since 1975. In 1984 I had the opportunity to watch them play in summer in Philadelphia, one of the heights of my life.
Hola!
That’s beautiful, Dear One. ♥️♥️♥️
My first Moodies show was in Philly, at The Spectrum, 1978. Had the pleasure of seeing them with a full orchestra in Sunrise, FL...the tour after Red Rocks. Another in Miami then two more back in Philly.
I'm here bro
Aye bud! I pulled up their stuff 2 doors down one night when I was clearing Ramon Rodriguez' kitchen drain! He said it was beautiful! I know I pulled up Gypsy also, which he really liked. I live in Garden Grove CA. Adjacent to Long Beach, where WAR is from, which I only found out a few years ago. I saw Moodies at the Forum in '84 as well, and at the Long Beach Arena in '81. Justin was wearing all black with a silver vest.
Such a delicate masterpiece!
Stunningly beautiful performance! The 2 guitars, doubled flutes, vocals... heavenly.
Thank you for the gift of music. You truly made an impact on mine and many many other people's lives. Another magical performance! My 20 year old daughter's favorite album is Days, and I just bought her In Search Of on vinyl.
Once more, decades old neuron patterns are awakened, old feelings arise... A shiver runs down my spine...
Wonderful performances! I really do miss the singer/songwriter & prog rock era.
I agree with Ann Wilson: Justin Hayward and the Moody Blues are underrated. (Interview 2020.07.31 in which Heart acknowledges the influence of Justin and the Moodies): ruclips.net/video/z-22GoDqgYA/видео.html
exactly what i was afraid of so for so long, i wouldnt listen knowing how my heart would long for those peaceful days of bell bottoms, embroidered peasant blouses flower crowns, too much smoke then not enough...and the sun always shined.
The flute was flawless note-for-note... and when the backing vocals kick in I got the biggest chill... an absolute Masterpiece from start to finish
Outstanding Performance, Great Justin..... Great The Moody Blues....!!!!! I am from El Salvador, a little country in Central America and, believe me, there are a lot of people that se love this músic.... Thanks a lot for sharing.... An.. Even Years go by, Justin Hayward maintain his great voice.......!!!!!
Great to see Justin looking so well and on his game.... lets have more videos from this song writing genius and more stories of how he came to write so many wonderful songs ......
Another great episode. 😁😉🎼🎸🎻👍 🔥Beautiful.
One of my favorites!!!
I think I'll hit repeat about a billion times.
You can see how much his bandmates appreciate the music and the honor and privilege of being up there with him.
Thank you Justin!♥️✌
1971 age 16....Woke up to my radio alarm, and for some reason "Night in White Satin" played every ...Your music has been in my life ever since...takes my breath away
This is possibly my all time favourite Moodies song - it brings me right back to my teenage years and to all that that brought to me. Can never thank you enough for this beautiful song Justin and would love to know what was behind it.
Absolutely exquisite! Thank you Justin and team. Can't wait to see you all again.
My words exactly !
Always one of my most cherished tunes, has never sounded lovelier than in recent tours; and, I think this performance, from your charming relating of its creation through to that perfect final note, has to be the most enchanting of them all.
The beauty of this song touches us all because it comes from "that place", which is inside all of us. Justin made it real in his music. "I wish this feeling I could share." You did. Perfectly.
"It's personal" but I can truly relate-it's very spiritual, longing for physical REALITY. Marvelous piece 👍💗👌 🤣 of work.
Another absolutely beautiful song, I’m just loving these Tuesday afternoons. 💕💕
This was always one of my favorite songs of all time. I was 16 when I bought On the Threshold of a Dream. I played that record over and over. Thank you Sir for creating such lovely songs 👏❤️
Thanks for supporting my music ❤️I'm so grateful and I hope you never stop being a fan, I would like to honor you by giving you my personal information if that's ok by you.
Sounds Amazing ❣️🌟🌹
That’s for the love and support it’s nice seeing you here
Just Hayward has always been on my short list of great musicians; along with the Moodies. Was fortunate to see them all in concert three times in their heyday; and meet Mike Dawes when he did International Guitar Night tours just last year. Love this series!!
At college. Winter evening with a light snow. Laying in my upper bunk with headphones on. Listening to this magnificent album. memories.
May I thank you for your awesome gift during such difficult times. I have seen the Moody Blues perform about 10 - 12 times in my life and never walked out disappointed. I have passed on the love of your music to my daughter and we listen very frequently to this very day. Her favorite is Question. My favorite is all of your work. Thank you thank you thank you.
I will forever love this song and what it means to me! Thank you so much Justin for these Tuesday Afternoons!
I'm always looking forward to this time! Thank you for your beautiful songs!
This has always been one of my favorite Moody Blues album tracks since I "borrowed" my cousin's copy of In Search of the Lost Chord back when I was 12 (don't worry, I gave it back when I bought my own copy). But I never noticed until seeing this excellent performance how the song is built around harmony. Your vocal harmony with Julie, the harmony of Karmen's flute with Julie's keyboard, and your guitar harmonizing with Mike's. Wonderful! Your series really gives me something to look forward to each Tuesday Afternoon. Thank you so very much for all this amazing music that has enriched my life.
There is just something about this song and the musical instruments that just transport me to a different world.
I am glad Justin loves his songs as much as I do!
These melodies were an intrinsic part of my life years ago and help me then as they do now, even if I don't know exactly what they mean?
There were always angelic whisperings coming thru the words and music.
I loved hearing the group rely that "they" didn't even know what they singing about until years later!
As soon as the music started, I got goosebumps - so many pleasurable memories of hearing this song on the album, over and over, back in the day. Justin, these Tuesday afternoon sessions, with your personal background stories, are beyond wonderful! And, you've still got it, after all these years. I've always loved the Moody Blues, with a passion. And, you have such wonderful musicians with you now, too! Such beauty you've been sharing with us! Thank you, from the bottom of my tiny little heart... smiles, and more, here.
this is it right here ...the pure essence of the Moody Blues.....breathtakingly beautiful
We were so lucky to have been at this concert. it had been cancelled and then rescheduled. What a dream to find out it was being recorded! I was hoping to buy this on DVD, but will enjoy this if not. Thanks to Justin for sharing this with us!
Another poet extraordinaire.I love his voice.He is in that rare class of a singer from the 60's whose voice is still as good now as it was then.
Beautiful...one of my favorite songs...made my day...severe thunderstorms...fed the baby squirrell...
"This garden universe, vibrate complete. Some we got a sound so sweet..." My father, born 1949, took Days of future passed to our small village after he bought it in the big record-store in Stockholm. His mother lived there and our family lived 20 swedish miles north. As a guitar-player this is the song that my father has played the most. We (my sisters and I) got to be the choir. This song has that mystic-Moody-feeling, that "fairy-dust" that Ray Thomas talked about. Moody Blues has been and will always be a big part of our lives. To our children's children's children as we now are four generations listening. My fathers grand doughters-doughter's favourite song is "Twilight time". Justin, if you read this, say hello to my father Thomas.
This song and actually the whole album was tremendous!
No one can write a song like Justin! Poetry at it’s finest!
So many good songs, but this is my absolute favorite. Ohhhh, darlin'..... Perfection!
Such a beautiful song. So timeless. Love the backing musicians on this track
I remember as a child just turning off the lights and listening to this album front to back........
Love this song. Just love this Album. I fell in love with it immediately..bought it that day..still have it the Original Album..Threshold Records...Have them all always will..the Moody Blues are the Hall Of Fame...Thankyou Justin, John, Ray, Mike ,graham, for all those years if the best and only music. Your once in a life time, and never again..God Bless ..🎸🎹🎼
Sounded so good it was bringing tears to my eyes involuntarily. That NEVER happens.
What a great song and a great performance
I saw Justin Hayward a month ago in Hastings. I'm 66 and it was a dream come true. He was amazing. He transported me to such a happy time in my life.
Sounds amazing to me! Ah, the memories 😊
