Justin Hayward is living proof that you can make a career as a rock guitarist without technical flash. Yeah, Neil Young, too. Always a classy band, I love these guys and I'm so happy they're still at it.
Loved going to their concerts with my buddy and just finding a spot with a group of people usually in their 60's singing and driving beer which I loved to do as well and smoking joints that they pulled out but had my own,GREAT TIMES!!
The sound on this is incredible. John's vocals, Justin's guitar. I can hear more than I usually hear, even when I'm there in the concert hall. Buy this DVD!
I saw the Moody Blues in 1978 in Hartford CT and they started with this song. This was when Patrick Moraz was playing keyboards after Mike Pinder left. Still it was awesome.
Over the years Graeme really learned how to maximize the two drummer thing. This is a great example... He let's the other guy play the pocket and keep time...and Graeme does the overdubed tom fill stuff, then jumps back in unison with the other drummer...playing half time on his hi-hat. Its a great lesson in playing economically for older drummers. I saw them numerous times from the early 90s on...all with the two drummer set up. Graeme was honest about losing stamina, and how hard it was becoming to keep up with a two and half hour show. I remember he caught a little flack when they first brought on the second drummer. People thought Graemes drums weren't even turned up in the mix... but they were. It was really just a very smart way of taking some of the physical load off of him. There were numerous points, in every show I saw, where he had reserved his energy...and cut loose for the most signature parts. He was never the best technical drummer... it was all about feel for him. He was the right drummer for the Moody Blues. The fact that they chose not to carry on after his death, was proof of that.
This is one of my all time favorite Moody Blues songs written by John Lodge! I listen to this song to death! I wish I knew the meaning behind the song but I really loved it when I heard it live at The Moody Blues concert at the Honeywell Center in Wabash, Indiana.
This song was written for the Octave album after massive rains resulted in a slide zone over the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California in 1978. It was either John or Justin who was in his limo approaching Mike Pinders Indigo Ranch for their recording sessions when they slide off the highway unharmed. I'm sure the experience was unforgettable, but some people might have thought the subsequent album and song were forgettable. IMHO there were a couple of good cuts on that album, but not up to their usual standards due to their being edgy around each other during that time frame.
John you were awesome at Sellersville theater in Pennsylvania. It was so wonderful to meet you and see you’re great performance.Afterwords you took the time to talk and sign one of my Moody blue albums. You’re a legend and I can’t believe you’re still kicking it. Thanks again for all your beautiful work and songs you’ve written. David Riley
Really great performance by the guys and gals on this song ! The intro by the flute player was great, as well as her accompanying vocals with John. John's vocals were great, Justin was playing great guitar. All around great performance. I agree, sound quality was superb.
They are great, I love the sound on this video! I would love to go to Las Vegas and see them, but I can't. I would like to see the concert aired live on AXSTV, I get that channel and that would be a great concert for them to cover, the Moody Blues in Las Vegas in September 2018.
@@carlgibbons5777 - actually there was nothing inaccurate about my statement . I was watching the Moody Blues in concert , before you were born - lol - stick that in your slide zone ;)
@@danielpete5243 Then who implied that Slide Zone was on Days Of Future Passed? YOU are the one who probably assumed that "Days Of Future Passed Live" only had songs from that album. Otherwise, why make a ridiculous statement? lol SLIDE on out of here buddy:)

MOODY BLUES, REPLAY THIS MUSIC!
M0:00DY BLUES

One of my favs. Saw them 4 times in my life. Early 70’s. Twice in 90’s. Once in the 2000’s. We don’t get a lot of bands I love in utah.
Slide Zone is a wild song.John has an amazing voice listening to this song and Justin playing doesn’t get Any better than The Moody Blues.
Not a fan of the moody blues as such, i only like a handful of their songs, and this is definitely 1 of them.
Loved going to their concerts,drinking many beers and meeting groups of people singing and smoking joints with 60 to 70 year Olds,so cool

Lucky enough to have seen them on their last tour in Highland Park. A bucket list situation. Great first set.
From the "Octave" album..one of my fav songs from that lp!!! xxx
Moodies forever!!!

Norda's flute and vocals enhance the magic, and I love John Lodge's blown kiss to her at 2:39
Awesome song. John sounds great.
Kudos to the sound person. They did a great job!

Wow, what a fabulous performance! Love it!
These guys! Just the best!
I can keep on watching this over and over and over again !!
John hitting those high notes...LOVE it!!

Fun live! That's a whole lot of talent on one stage!!

John still rockin 'it.....
This is a cool song. One of my favorites. Great version.
looove this
splendid music
Love it
Man, the bass tone in this one is great. How did he achieve such a godly tone?
“How about 4:54 minutes ago Bruno?”
Love these guys! John is a great bassist
Abbachio would be crying by seing his Stand's namesake singing this.
With the octave album ...this as close to disco moody blues got
Don't forget "Gemini Dream" on the Long Distance Voyager album.
Yay! They never did disco!🎉
If only "Octave" sounded like this. Fans may have re-evaluated it. IMO the Moodies always sounded better live.
I still miss Pinder's voice and mellotron.
RIP Leone Abbachio
This song makes me wanna replay certain events for my mafia gang
2:20 GUITAR SOLO

Buy it on Blu ray:)
Looks like Jeff Porcaro playing second drum!
wish they'd do my handful of songs
Was this song really about their friend Dr. Fred Bell..? I met Fred in Laguna back around '00. Just wondering...
Lion abacchio
Where's Ray Thomas ?
Never really a favorite of mine, but this live version works better then the original imo.
Has even more jive
Who is the lead vocalist?
The blonde guy, Justin. John just..."owns" this one, I believe. Right good he does, too.
I'm in love with Norda....what a sexy sexy gal....she is for me at least !
This song "slide zone " was on Octave, not Days of Future Passed ………..
The Days of Future Passed is due to this being from their 50 year anniversary tour for that very album.
Days Of Future Passed is the second half of this show with full orchestra. Do your homework please. smh

What? Justin is like half the size of Trump and far less EVIL. lol
@@carlgibbons5777 I know but... Their faces...
