Don’t forget Mike Pinder and his magical Mellotron…
Made it all come together ..
Passed away April 24. RIP dear brother.
One of the original pioneers that put the mellotron "on the map"!
Probably the most unique and recognized band during the late sixties for their ability to reach out and have influence over the their vast audiences, that is the ability to touch the listeners very soul. Their writings, arrangements are an amalgamation of so many different styles of music, yet seem so right when the final product is introduced to the human ear. Their music over the decades still haunts many of us and for some, it's a spiritual experience. Love you Guys.
Wow! That's so sweet of you to say David🤠, I actually didn't expect to get such a beautiful comment from you. Thanks so much for being such a huge fan of my music🎵. Well I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music. Could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan of my music???
Omgosh!!! I've always enjoyed the Moody Blues, grew up in the 60's. But I didn't know much about music due to my incredible horrible life.....then a few years ago, I found Denny Laine! ❤ He Is AWESOME! I have a 'thing ' for gingers (redheads). Denny Laine is one of the BEST ever. Thankful for the music 🎶 🙌 ❤❤❤
Hey dude, you nailed it! 👌
Canada loves the Moody Blues.
The Beatles.
Incredible the luck they had with Laine's replacement. Justin Hayward had(s) it all ..the looks , talent ....
They did what the Beatles couldn't do ... play it live!
Well the Beatles played live for several years but got tired of not being able to hear themselves over the silly screaming girls so stopped doing it and made albums instead.
Better than the Beatles.
@@davidlong1786 what i meant was the Beatles couldn't reproduce the over produced songs from Revolver to Sgt and Magical but The Moodys could do all their tunes.
@@WilliamSilva-dq6zj How would you know since they never tried playing those live? They stopped doing live shows in 1966.
@@davidlong1786 as you said they never tried. I love the beatles as much as anyone but Without an orchestra they couldn't reproduce those songs back then. Another reason they stopped touring. Im sure they would do great renditions but if you watch the Moodys live they sound amazing!
Where would my life be without the magical Moody Blues and Justin Hayward. Thanks for sharing the joy for 50 years!
Seen them live in Ipswich last time they toured..bloody brilliant night and have since seen Justin Hayward 4 times..he's still handsome as ever and a musical genius.
from a fellow Brummie,sad day another genius gone to that "gig in the sky" rip MP still listening to the albums after 50years thank you xx
Rest In Peace Ray Thomas. We were hoping to see you at the Rock Hall Induction April 14. Damn you Jann Wenner. Damn You ALL for not letting the MB in b4 now.
Jann Wenner has turned into a asshole. You only get in with his approval & it's turned into a money generating racket. Who is watching the
books?
The moodies should have been in the hall on their first qualification. Many who are in don't even play rock. I don't get it.
This wonderful footage shows the group in their prime. Priceless. All looking great.
@@randyacuna3248 Screw the Hall of Fame. The Moodies didn't need to prove anything ever.
@@sialatorah very correct!
RIP Ray Thomas
Ah, Ray Thomas. I love him. R.I.P.
The look Ray gave to bass player John Lodge his loud high voice. Awesome band in its time then and now before the passing of Ray Thomas RIP.
RIP Ray Thomas.
Justin was only 21 in this video, he looks scared to death!!! Such a great band!! ❤❤❤
I would be scared too!
Proof, as if any was needed, that the Moody Blues was not just a studio band.
this is a studio recording, until mid 1980's televised shows almost always required bands to lip-sync or ad-lib. so I agree that they were more than just a studio band... but this is not an example of that.
And it's live singing, not lip syncing! Great stuff, thanks for posting!
At least this is live!
I couldn't help but crack up at the interview on the precious video,
They must have lip synced on purpose because he went back and started spoke French after Mike politely asked him to speak English!
On another interview, Graeme spoke in German. He was one happy rascal!
@@designerlarry I'm not about 1st tune Dr Livingstone, however Ride My SeeSaw ( btw: my all time fave Moody's tune) This is 100% live including all instruments, listen to the Melotron 🎹🥁🎸👍
@@jamesmcintyre2008 well I can see them, look harder.
One of the few times that you saw Justin Hayward not out front, instead playing in the background. Ray Thomas the vocal point on that night.
Don't know how those women could sit so still during Ride my Seesaw, that song almost demands you get up and dance.
They had their job to just be scenery and not draw attention to themselves. Just pretty 'art pieces".
God I love Ray
Love Ray Thomas... what a great performance
Oh! Thank you so much for being such an amazing fan of music my Dear🙏🤠. I hope you never stop being a fan and also stop listening to my songs🎶. Well could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan my music???
I was a little kid and was so lucky to see Graeme and Justin. I saw the continuing band for the next 30 years. One of the best bands of all time.
50 years ago. Man they were a great band. Not nearly enough live performances of the Moodies available.
Oh! Thank you so much for being such an amazing fan of my music my Dear🙏🤠. I hope you never stop being a fan and also stop listening to my songs🎶. Well could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan my music???
@@dennylaine8735 I enjoyed the earlier incarnation of the Moodies (all the early British bands - must have been something in the UK water that produced so many fine artists) as well as the later lineup that was so productive and unusual. In your time, I especially enjoy the filmed version of Pinder's Haven't Really Got the Time. So much energy with Rod Clarke bouncing around. Energy that the later lineup didn't have on the same tune. They were built for other things. Glad that you have so much of your work from then on records. I've listened to them for many decades, as I backtracked when the first albums of the later progressive band were released.
@@ktpinnacle Wow! Thanks once again for your love and affection which you’ve shown towards my music over the years. I’ve always been a passionate, affectionate and a loyal singer🤠🎶. Well do you mind if we text somewhere more private? Do let me know if you're interested
I love John occasionally mouthing along to Ray's lines in "Dr. Livingstone, I Presume" xD Ray and John were always the most charismatic and lively performers of the Moodies imo
The greatest prog rock band ever- Hail the great Moody Blues!
Besides yes and king crimson and Emerson lake and palmer rush
They all sang!! Those harmonies are really great. Very English!! Love this band!
"Very English"?????
@@manchestertart5614 yes, very British
Next to The Dave Clark Five they're about as English as you can get. Hell, the freakin Beatles ain't as English as they are.
Birmingham actually!
@@carolsaxton839 Except for Justin who's from Swindon :D
...Legends From The Beginning...
Wow!!! That's so sweet of you to say my Dear🤠, I actually didn't expect to get such a beautiful comment from you. Thanks so much for being such a huge fan of my music🎵. Well I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music. Could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan of my music???
Rare to ever see live footage of The Moody Blues performing Dr. Livingstone, especially back in '68! Thanks for sharing.
Daniel Lars What a journey! Thanks for this treasure!
My god . How cool is Lodge . His body is his bass .
Agreed. Beautiful man that wrote this song too.
Great song!!! Such a good group, ever!!!💙💙💙💙.... They are the best!!!!! No band COME'S close to these talented men!!!!! 🥀🥀🥀🥀.. 2022...
they sounded great live.
Oh! Thank you so much for being such an amazing fan of my music Stephen🙏🤠. I hope you never stop being a fan and also stop listening to my songs🎶. Well could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan my music???
RIP Denny,Ray and Graeme !! Truly Missed !!!! LR
And Mike Pinder RIP
The Moodys lyrics & musical sounds always fascinated me.. NO syrupy la la la here.. Just substance & imagery galore who ALWAYS took the Listener on a British Journey..
Ray Thomas, digging it the most as usual. Love it!
This was a great performance, the Moody Blues were a touch of class. Just a pity so few turned up to watch them!
Some of the best music ever
Oh! Thank you so much for being such an amazing fan of my music Mike🙏🤠. I hope you never stop being a fan and also stop listening to my songs🎶. Well could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan my music???
Great performance even if it looks like the French audience was waiting for the next act, a French ventriloquist and his dog, Bark! The Moody Blues have been awesome since their beginnings! Young, handsome dudes from England!
John O'Connell The girls weren't the audience. They were staged performers that were supposed to be non-reactive. It was considered to be arty, as it was contrary to the norm. A recurring theme during the sixties.
@@heli-crewhgs5285
What's French for Arty-Farty?
You can really hear the Beatles influence in Dr Livingston. My dad played their albums every Sunday when I was growing up. It was a long time coming but they made it to the HOF.
Bass reminds me a lot of Yellow Submarine
They did play Ray and Mike on 2 of their songs "walrus" + 1 playing harp or doing thé "dogs" noises.Ain t à joke...
Justin Hayward the most underrated guitarist ever.
I think his looks cost him respect from snobs
Him and Steve Winwood.
@@jamesh1369 ...Yeah Steve Winwood is a brilliant guitarist.
Yrs, that upset him. He said he wanted to be thought of for his music, not his looks.
@@krisschedler LOL
Terrific, live and no lip sync Thanx ! For posting this fantastic rarity
Very impressive live performance!
Love The Moody Blues so much. And I've been wanting to ride on John Lodge's see-saw since I could remember. He was one sexy beast back in the day!
That is funny-never heard of such 'intimate activity' refered as "see-saw .' Such 'fun', does have its 'up & downs' and somehow sounds more reasuring than 'teeter-totter!' (lol)
😂😂😂
Lovely song, and some fabulous mellotron, damn well love the sound. A great old band.
Wow!!! That's so sweet of you to say Dale🤠, I actually didn't expect to get such a beautiful comment from you. Thanks so much for being such a huge fan of my music🎵. Well I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music. Could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan of my music???
What I find interesting is the camera focuses on Ray Thomas a lot more in the early video clips.. As I did when I saw him live here in Vancouver, so many times.. R.I.P on Your Astral Plain, Our Cosmic Rocker
It may be a Lodge song, but Ray sings lead vocal, so of course the camera focuses on him. Too bad he didn't also play rhythm guitar to free up Hayward. This song needs the lead guitar to stand out more.
True talent, genuine playing, love it!
This is just fabulous! So great to see such vintage performances. Thank you!
The Moodies. Greatest group ever!
I recorded all of thier albums on real to real tapes up to 74 in the navy and would listen to em off watches still to this my favorite band 👍
They were legends in the making. Greatest rock band in history but I’ve never seen a band playing to an audience of shop window dummies before!! Guess it was considered cool in 1968.
A lot of strange things were considered cool in 1968. Maybe that's why I was never cool.
...before social distancing was cool....
Lodge is so great!! Gorgeous and what a bass player. All of them are perfection!
Ditto! I adore John!
Bonjour, peeps
Pia Struck John was very good looking!!!
Love John Lodge❣️Who wrote this great song, too! What a handsome and fun-loving guy‼️
Pandemic 'social distance' seating decades before covid!
Thanks for posting this great early Moody Blues performance.
How they went from Go Now to this wonderful band is amazing. Such talent. I love their harmonies together. No one else could ever sound like them.
Not enough live video of the Moodies from this era.
There is 1 hour vidéo from july 68 within thé students dancing around.this is called "this evening we ll dance with thé MB" wonderful show with rare stuffs..théy all had gréât time check on thé net...

thank you for posting this video of the band playing live in the sixties!
a time travel video! Jus looks so cute and you can hear his guitar...so cool!
I like how television was then...everyone dressed well and had manners and women were beautiful.
The put the magical bang into music and lyrics.
Absolutely timeless.

Ray had such a wonderful voice. I’m in love.
What a fantastic historical document! I am dismayed that the studio audience is sitting there like mannequins, I’d want to jump up and dance!
The French are too conceited to show
any emotion.
They were all runway models.
excellent post. This is the first time I have seen them doing this stuff live and pure
PBS had a special about 25 years ago that had a lot of live performances. It was out when "Your Wildest Dream" was a hit. One of the best documentary's of theirs.
The music of my teenage years... thankfully!

Justin looks so miserable.....but John looks like he’s having a hell of a good time...
I think that was Justin's job back then, to look woebegone.
John is getting the royalty check
John always looks happy. 💗💕
That brought back memories! Riding on the back roads, smoking weed and listening to Moody Blues 8-track tapes!
Amazing!!! WOW! love it... All so cute and clean cut. Good times
All cute and clean cut and tripping on
some killer windowpane....

RIP Ray you will be missed xxx
The music of the Moody Blues is like a mystery. I’ve been a fan of this band since I was 20 years old. I can honestly tell you that I believe the music of the moody blues saved my life! Because when I was a young, I discovered that I preferred to listen to their music with clear mind than to sit around and smoke dope.
Great memories. Thanks for posting it. RIP Ray, we will miss you.
COOL THAKS FOR PRESERVING ...

It's not actually 'your' music, is it 'Denny'?
Aaahh-the French like to sit around and look cool. I don't think they understood the awesomeness in front of them.
They didn't know English as well as today in 2018.
Bonjour
Looks like Clock Work Orange decor.
Great group! 😊
Love those guys!

I think Ray was an amazing vocalist, a d their best.
Class act that has not been seen in a loooonggg time....
R.I.P. Ray, and thanks for the music.
The look he gives John Lodge at 6:21 cracked me up so hard.
R.I.P. Ray Thomas
epic clip, thanks
Presume nothing!!love and miss you Ray😅😅😅😅😅
I like the chill-out, modern approach of the audience. It looks arty even now in 2021.
The version of Ride My See-Saw was earlier than the album one. No lead guitar in the beginning and the vocal arrangements are rougher. The studio made them the best symphonic rock band of all time.
What a classy video !! With the ladies watching .. Such Charisma
How can the past appear as future fiction? We have lost our present, there may be no future. People had wonderful dreams in the 60s.
We did! We had hope for a better future.
Ray .....have you found polar bear.......l know you have........you now have the freedom to cuddle them...........fly high......watch me feed the birds in my garden...........much love..........
Ray Thomas reminds me of the Sheriff of Nottingham from the Bugs Bunny cartoon.
'a thing of beauty is a joy forever'...John Keats...'Endymion'...1818..
Those French gals obviously were deaf and blind!! They sat there still as stones! The Moodies were in their prime musically as well as physically. I'd have been having fits if I had been there. :) And my Lovely Lodgey was sooo darned cute!
They're lovely watching so carfully.
This video is amazing back in time. priceless
I love how Ray is fronting the band 👨🏻
Different Moody set up. effective bare bones musical sound. Seated women observing and moodies faces reacting to their and each other vocals is Memorable as they hang on for the musical ride. Thank you for posting peace too all
WORD !
Rest in peace Ray Thomas. Don't be moody. But do be Moody.
