- ...rare version of the Beatles Song "Across the Universe" sung by Justin Hayward and John Lodge from the Moody Blues at the "John Lennon Memorial Concert" in Liverpool , May 5th, 1990. - unfortunately never released on CD or DVD.
They are in The Hall of Fame now!!! They should have been in there earlier!!! The best group EVER!!!! 💙💙💙💙💙........
Justin and John's version of this lovely Beatles song is as beautifully delivered as the original. 💖
Superb. John is smiling!
John is always smiling!❤
So beautifully delivered by the best voice in British music history😊❤❤❤❤
This event happened the day my sweet daughter, Angela Danielle, was born .... May 5, 1990 ❤ That sure "changed my world"!😂❤ Love the Moody Blues! 🎶🎵💗
I was 16 watching this concert and felt they rescued it.
Why was I not aware of this performance until today? One of my favorite Beatles songs, covered by one of my favorite bands -- and of all the Beatles songs, "Across the Universe" is the perfect, most fitting selection to be covered by the Moody Blues.
One of the best Beatles' songs ever and the Moodie Blues did it justice!
SPOT ON!!! Moody Blues can do anything justice!!
He prob wrote it they had 5/6 songwriters the Beatles
More than 31 years after this performance I get to hear it for the first time. Love the Moodies and the Blue Jays. They do this song more than justice.
I would expect nothing less of a supreme talent like Justin Hayward. Pure unadulterated vocal talent.
This band is the soundtrack to my life.
Wow! Mine is Insane Clown Posse.
Justin Hayward and John Lodge forever. What a reverential, perfect cover of this beautiful song.
Beautiful...
How can you listen to this and not feel like crying?
"limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns ..." Unbelievably beautiful.
Beautiful version ❤❤❤
How much do I love these two guys? Theirs is the music that will be played in heaven.
This is one of John's finest songs and the guys did it just perfectly with Justin's beautiful voice, the orchestra and the beautiful surroundings...10 thumbs up.
always. been a strong favorite!
I had just moved to Liverpool two years earlier. I was there. Justin, John and John Lennon... a sublime moment in my life.
What sort of creature are you if you have 10 thumbs????

OMG, I can almost hear John.... Justin & John = wonderful rendition! Never got to see Beatles, but have seen Moodies twice! Love you both, miss Ray and Graeme. ❤️
Just Awesome❣🎀💥🥂💯💝😎✌
John would be honored. Beautiful tribute from Justin and John.
Wow! That brought tears to my eyes! Only the Moodies could pull off that outstanding tribute to John Lennon. As good as it gets!
Just died and gone to heaven..The Moody Blues singing Across the Universe! Amazing
The Blue Jay's never ceases to amaze me with their talents. Excellent rendition.
Can we petition You Tube to like a video more than once? Absolute perfection.
Brilliant! You'd expect nothing less from Great Musicians! Great song! Great memories !
A wonderful tribute from a wonderful band . Thanks for all the memories.
Only 186.000 views. Melancholy sets in. There should be, at a minimum, 7.5 Billion views, and then perhaps we would discover world peace. I love this cover. I love those two guys. I love this song and its creator. C'mon people, give it a listen.
Brings tears....
The moodies are the best...✝
Such a beautiful song. There's a guitar Lick in this song. And I hear the same guitar lick in a Pink Floyd song. Finally The Moody Blues got into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame long overdue. And I know that John spirit will always be with us even though he's gone. Across the Universe. The only thing I can really say about John Lennon and the Beatles is there music is fresh it never gets old and never gets stale not too many bands can do that. And yes there's been others that stand up to time somewhere over a century. But those of us who were alive back when John and the Beatles were young and checking it out we were totally blessed by their music and now that we're old we're still blessed and when we're gone the world will be blessed. And no man can't take that away.
My favorite Lennon song sung by my favorite band not named The Beatles. I've seen the Moodies in concert a lot of times - always great.
1st time I've ever heard this version, they fit this song so well
Can't believe it's been so long since this was recorded. Absolutely beautiful! I don't think anyone else,except John Lennons son,could have sung it any better. What an honor for them to play this tribute..
Fiona apple did a cover of this song on one of her albums
My heros performing my superheros. Simply wonderful!!!!
first & only time this song has been covered successfully ,these guys are awesome,
karl wills Rufus Wainwright does the best version of the classic. Treat yourself. The VEVO one.
Grammys 2005 was decent. Velvet Revolver with Bono, Billie Joe Armstrong, Steven Tyler, Norah Jones, Stevie Wonder, Alicia Keys, Brian Wilson, Tim McGraw. Nuts really. But that's more an 'award show spectacle' than anything.
Honestly, Scorpions did a phenomenal cover of this. (Yes, that Scorpions)
Yes, and I've heard many.
beautiful
The Moody's are faithful to the essence of the song here.
Suits Justin's voice to a tee.
yes this is beautiful..and yes I was there: 55 years of doing TM....it answered the call of 'a quieter mind and a genuine spiritual growth'. The Beatles certainly proceeded me and had a brief flirt with TM...my decision was based on my personal practitioner's experience and the being of my 'initiator'...they had what I needed. Now the song...they are great doing this....the Beatles were such a 'lightning rod' of cultural change...I suppose they were our modern Demi-gods as let's face it, most of us were raised commercially..and for disseminating information that cannot be beat. We in time realized they were transmitting hundreds of messages that ran like a torrent thru their 'cultural perch'...yes we realized...only George took any of this seriiously.....but blessings to a very special period of explosive creativity in music and personal growth for all of us. That period was 'volcanic' and so much was thrown out: some drug based and toxic...as well as the reality the drug tries to imitate that fortunately many of us came to choose..usually after finding drugs such a dead end.....
The best rendition of this song. Cheers to the Moody
Blues.
This great John song suit's Justin heywoods voice perfectly
This is so good that if I never heard The Beatles do this I wouldn’t have any doubt that this was written by Hayward and Lodge.
I'm so proud to be a Birmingham Lass & this song is heaven.Justin Hayward voice of an Angel & John Lodge you are both amazing & covered this John Lennon classic effortlessly 💗🧚♀️🎸☮️🕊️
Yes I agree. Justin Hayward has the best voice in melodic pop, much better than any of the Beatles. . Your fellow Brummie John Lodge isn"t that far behind him either. The two of them were the main men in the Moody Blues. The Moodies are the best band ever and all we have now are the band's memories as Justin and John pursue their solo careers. When I saw John Lodge on his last solo tour 3 years ago I met his daughter Emily who is his manager. She gave me the impression the two of them have grown apart from each other.
Justin has a better voice than John Lennon had.
The Moody Blues...one of my favorite bands...seen them 6 times...love you for singing this classic John Lennon tune...the tune has Moody Blues similarities...I love John Lennon and I love the Moody Blues.
WOW!! I’ve listened maybe 10 times in a row. Stunning! Don’t know how this was hidden for so long, but this is Amazing.
And Justin and John, and the Moodies, yeah they’re good!
Thank you, Mr Lennon.
Never seen this or knew of it before one of my fav JL songs sung by my fav band Moody Blues
I'm blown away by it 🌟💕
I am only seeing this for the first time now and wow, it is so beautiful! I am a big Moodies fan and this is just stunning! xxx
Hello Shawn! Greetings from Wolfgang...;)
Hi Wolfgang! :-)
That surprised me...have been a big Lennon & Beatles fan for 40 yrs and the Moodies version is the toppermost of the poppermost.
Always thought it was a very positive song though alot of people thought it wasn't. Suppose it could depend on what mood someones in at the time, but the song is basically uplifting to me. Cheerz to the Moodies.
Fantastic cover. I love anything they do. Justin and John.❤️🎶❤️
How I love this song.
Moodies...Pure Perfection!!!! xxx
Simply ♡~Katherine Guffey 🎸🎤🎼
Omg...thàt was so freaking amazing I'm staggered. I love the Moody blues and I love the Beatles. This is a perfect merge or Fusion. They should have released this as a single
Beautiful. I’m sure John Lennon is smiling at such a beautiful cover of his immortal song.
I have so many beautiful memories.. from the day this song was released.. and I got the album.. it touched my heart and soul
And I thought only The Beatles could perform this piece of magic, but leave it to The Moody Blues to be able to master anything! I hate the R 'n R Hall of Fame!
They finally got in. Long time coming.
I think that even though the ending of their Induction was a "hot mess" due to the Hall of Fame people blowing it timewise and letting people ramble on, cutting into the Moody's time at the microphone, they took it with their usual grace. They had wanted to pay tribute to Ray Thomas and thank their Families. Some people wanted to blame them, but that's NOT how it was. I was there.
Also, the free form jam by the winners at the end of the program was cut as well. The fans have always loved that.
At least, the Moody Blues made it in the 1st time nominated - THANK YOU FANS!!!
YOU NEVER GAVE UP!!!
Thanks for the post, I was at the concert at the Docks in front of the Liver Building, 5 hours of televised live artists. They actually ran it 20 mins behind, just in case, of course Yoko and Sean where there, sadly none of the Beatles but they sent video messages, if I remember rightly. Christopher Reeves was also one of the presenters there, shortly before his tragic accident. An afternoon I will never forget, and feel privileged to have witnessed. Thanks again.
Great cover - never heard this before
I remember going to this concert oh so long ago… It was an excellent night
Thanks for sharing this video, one of the many I never saw at the time...living in the US. Beautiful!
What a Lovely rendition, thank you for blessing us with the rare beauty!
I was lucky enough to be at this concert in Liverpool. To hear two of the Moody Blues sing one of my favourite John Lennon songs was awe inspiring. What a superb and quite emotional concert that was. I still have my ticket and a huge acetate of the original advertising poster for the event.
As the English would want to say..."Rather Nice!" Now! I'd swear that's a Justin Hayward/The Moody Blues tune about the same time The Beatles were in the same World with The Moody Blues... and Life seemed so "Good Then!" Aye!
Only Justin and John could do this song justice
Fiona Apple did a great cover of this but no one can compete with Hayward and Lodge. Lennon would be proud.
Absolutely the BEST cover of "Across the Universe". Justin doesn't just sing words that were written by "someone else (John Lennon"), he is totally inspired to bring the full sense of what John's mind was creating when he was putting pen to paper.
The result is so much more than the sum of it's parts and Justin understands this. The result is a real feeling of someone reaching out to you - urging you to see and feel what he does. You know you'll go with him, because now YOU understand what this journey means ...
*John Lodge also performs backing vocalist and guitar
Rufus Wainwright does a phenominal version - not as good as the Beatles, of course, but still amazing
Brill. Beautiful rendition, as if it was one of their own songs
When you think about it, it could have been one of the Moodies. More likely one of their inspirations.
Justin Hayward, Always The Prince!! ✌💗☮️
Splendid! Just splendid!a journey back thru time!
Usually don’t like covers but , of course, they kept this song genuine and honored the Beatles with class!❤️
Wow !!! Thank you Justin and John, soooooooooooo much !!! So beautiful, so great !!! We love you !!! Thank you !!! Jai Guru Deva !!!
Beautiful interpritation of a John Lennon classic
Simply beautiful!!
Perfect. This made me cry. Thank you Blue Jays!
beyond the universe...beautiful
Wow! The song was tailored for the Moody Blues it fits right into their universe.
Oh, how beautiful! An unexpected and rare treat. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. LOVE IT!!!!
THE BEST VERSION IMHO, JUSTIN HAYWARD HAS BEST VOICE IN MUSIC HISTORY
great job love those guys
Beautiful cover. John would be proud
THANK YOU FOLKS.
PERFECT !
Fabulous..
justin can sing anything
Man, totally floored!
My favorite John Lennon penned Beatles song. Beautiful
Really beautiful version. Usually, Bealtes covers are "meh". But this song suits Justin Hayward perfectly. It has the ethereal style that many of his best Moody Blues songs have, and his vocal range is perfect for it. If you didn't know it was a Beatle song, it would be easy think Justin Hayward wrote this.
Beautiful....
The most beautiful voice in rock music.
The very best music that we can create as humans will be far exceeded by the music that is to come.....the key is to accept the free ticket to that show.
I thought Ive seen most everything......Ive never seen this !
You need to see the whole concert, it was what would have been his 50th birthday. tribute.
Eso es lo malo nadie puede cambiar ésto
Beautiful..love the moody blues.
Rather splendid!
John Lodge does a pretty surpisingly god job on back-up vocals. I had assumed at some point that he would come in with his falsetto on the chorus high notes. Instead, he stayed down low and harmonized a few notes above Justin. Good stuff...
Perfect_____ John's music is timeless Gold😎
God bless these two.
great job they did always love to hear the Moodies and thanks for posting this .
Fantastic!!!
beautiful song...I had a dream several years ago there were people visiting and sitting in a chair was John Lennon! so I remember telling him how much everyone liked his music and how funny the Beatles were in the movies and in their chartoon....then I asked him for advice...not long after I saw him on the cover of a magazine...I guess it was a special anniversary at the time it was after 2010...
You are not alone Bobbie Hartley, I have had many dreams about John Lennon and also now George Harrison, they are in the collective consciousness of us all as beautiful guiding lights of love and wisdom. Peace. :-)
I always felt Beatles songs were off-limits unless you could really pull it off. These guys did more than pull it off they made it there own
Few songs well up my eyes - this one does.
Beautiful 😍
Very well done.
Oh my God, Justin is so talented!!! He is so 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!! His voice is so soft and lovely... Just stunning, what a gift ...🥀🥀🥀🥀.. 2022....
