The Moody Blues have always been underrated for their music. I remember being in the music room in high school feeling really low (as only angsty teenagers can be), and I put this song on, sitting on the stage and listening to this fill the auditorium. We had great acoustics in the auditorium, and it soared and really filled me with...I don't know... a lightness that took me out of my low mood. I still remember the feeling, and whenever I hear this song, Im that teenager in that auditorium again. People say you can't time travel, but I think the right song can help you go back to a specific place and time. If that isn't time travel, I don't know what is.😊

Thank you so much for the video, Adam. I was was introduced to the Moody Blues by Justin Hayward's cousin, who I went to school with up until 1968. Strangely, he was also called Justin Hayward, but his musical career took him towards choral works. The first album of Moody Blues that I bought was 'In Search of the Lost Chord'. When I did, I was completely blown away by it. I had never heard anything like it before. I immediately went out and bought 'Days of Future Passed' and was equally smitten. The Moody Blues have been the musical background to my whole life. I cannot thank them enough. Justin has recently been embarked on a musical tour, where he introduces new musical talent to the wider musical community. Giving young talented musicians the chances that nearly eluded Justin in his early career. I really wish I could thank his cousin for his recommendation, but unfortunately we lost touch with one another when we left school. I have every single song on every single album and single they ever recorded. In my opinion, Justin is one of the most talented singer/song writers on the planet.

Same here. Once I got to hear the FULL track I had the same reaction, and I was a hooked Moodies fan from then on. Just unfortunate that I had to wait 7 friggin' years after it was released to finally hear it, because AM radio refused to give "Nights" any air time. When it was re-released alongside _Seventh Sojourn_ that was my 2nd opportunity to hear it in its entirety, and I went out and bought "Days of Future Passed" that very day along with _Seventh Sojourn._

In 1973, I was a 10th grader dealing with my own angst and heartache. I heard the US radio version and was so moved. After I saved my money from my after-school job, I went to the record store and bought the album. And that started my journey into Prog Rock! In 1975, Justin and John formed the band "The Blue Jays," and I bought their album too. About 10 years ago, I got to see the Moody Blues perform this live. What a wonderful experience.

I had opportunity to see them perform with a symphony orchestra in a comparatively small setting (8,300 seats) in 1997. Much of "Days of Future Passed" was in the set list and while not in album sequence the orchestra was present in every arrangement making it very special. It was incredible and I cherish the feeling of the music moving through me. I'm 63 now and while a little young for its original release I grew up in a college town with a couple of great radio stations. Life is sweet and a great soundtrack makes it all the sweeter.

All of the girls I sang this too said I did a great rendition (maybe they were just being nice but it still a nice compliment). To this day I still think of them and of course my late wife who was the last person I sang this for. The car is auch a great place to practice this song.

That mellotron was where the band really made its money as they cranked out the Classic 7 albums. By the time they got to _Seventh Sojourn_ Pinder ditched the mellotron for the Chamberlain, and that had a MUCH more authentic orchestral sound. Wasn't long after that that synthesizer keyboards became standard, and ironically Pinder left the band not long afterward.

I got to hear it just once on radio in the States in '67, never to hear it again until it was re-released with _Seventh Sojourn_ in '72, so I was unable initially to figure out who the hell _did_ the song when I first heard it. In the late '60s the only Moody Blues song to get steady airplay was "Tuesday Afternoon," and I couldn't put the two together as being done by the Moodies. When I heard "Nights" the _second_ time in '72 it was the full version and I was absolutely blown away. I ran out and bought both records - _Days of Future Passed_ and _Seventh Sojourn_ - and FEASTED on their music. Every time I replayed "Nights" I'd get more and more emotional, and by the time the orchestra joined the last stanza I was choking up and brought to tears, just seeming to burst out of myself. The entire album was a work of art that didn't get its due until years after it was produced, but _DOFP_ and _Seventh Sojourn_ cemented my love for the Moody Blues, and I eventually bought all of the Classic 7 albums. Over the decades it has been very difficult to rank the Classic 7, but as it stands right now it has to be _Seventh Sojourn,_ _To Our Children's Children's Children,_ and _Days of Future Passed_ -- top three.

Later he was riding in the back by himself, My dad & I in the cab could hear him singing aloud, "Knights in white Satin".

I can never forget _Nights In White Satin,_ an incredible song. After graduating from high school at 17, I had very recently been "kicked out" of my mother's apartment to live on my own. I had just turned 18 and was living in a room in a college boarding house [where you share a kitchen and bathroom] in Colorado west of Denver. I first heard this song probably around November or December, 1967 on the local AM radio rock station in Denver. Admittedly, I didn't truly "understand" this song with the mesmerizing spoken poem in the middle of it. But it definitely intrigued me. After hearing it a few more times, I just fell in love with it because of the incredible voice of Justin Hayward. When a couple more songs became hits in 1968, I started Moody Blues albums and through the years, I've had at least 8 albums by them. One album was actually recorded in the _natural amphitheater_ called Red Rocks southwest of Denver.

As a kid- I found this record in my mother’s collection. I must of been in middle school. This ,to me, was a “Shakespeare “ experience. The voice, the lyrics.. a record that had a vibe that changes from the A to the B side. Thanks Prof of Rock- truly our Lester Bangs of our generation

This was the album that introduced me to the Moody Blues. In fact I bought all their albums, A Question of Balance, In Search of the Lost Chord, To Our Children’s Children, Every Good Boy Deserves Favour, Seventh Sojourn…each album was even more amazing than the one before. Mind blowingly beautiful, transcendental music!

The original Moodies were swindled by their managers and were left with very little. Had they not been in debt to Decca this album possibly never happens. According to Mike Pinder, Justin's tape was the first one selected from the batch Burdon had loaned him. In January '68 Nights bubbled under the hot 100, but Tuesday Afternoon would later become a hit that year. They became one of the first bands to form their own label Threshold Records.

I commented on this topic a few weeks ago. I don’t know if this episode is in response to my post or if you had it planned before, but I have to give you a huge THANK YOU regardless. Nights in White Satin could arguably be the greatest love song ever, and in context of the album Days of Future Past it completes the concept of the day. My favorite all time band, some people don’t think they were relevant because they were too complex and “self important” and made too many love songs. But I say they were so much more than that. Their theme albums add an element that just sets them above most bands. IMO. Their albums weren’t always the most polished but all the way from Days of Future Past through Long Distance Votager, and even The Present, I’d argue there is not a single bad song. How many bands just throw in filler songs? Not them. Justin and the guys were brilliant.

This song especially, while a senior in high school, swept me into a new consciousness. It was the impetus to begin to explore the mystical, the poetic, for me as a young man living in the north woods of Michigan. I began to feel connected to something far beyond what had previously defined me spiritually.

I fell in love with the band when I first heard this on the radio in 75 or so. A friend had a couple of their albums and loaned them to me. I recorded them to cassette tapes so I could listen some more. I wished I could send the musicians some money directly for being such amazing artists, knowing they probably weren't getting more than a penny or two off of each album. I wrote out the lyrics for the poems and memorized them, thinking they were just so cool. However, I've always been moved more by the music in songs than by the lyrics, and I don't dig too deeply for meaning in the words. There are some musicians, like Harry Chapin and Michael Franks, whose songs I love, but it's really their music -- if I really listen closely to the words, they're depressing. One of my favorite songs of all-time is Lucky Man by ELP. Many people have told me they hate it because it's so depressing. I don't hear the words, I just geek out on the keyboards in that song! I guess for me, the voice is just another instrument and the meaning is more how the music plus vocals moves me. Anyway, I've always loved the Moody Blues' music, and it all started with this song. Thanks for the back-story. :)

I first heard this when I was 8 during the 1972 re-release, coming out of my clock radio one morning. It was supposed to wake me up but instead I just laid in bed marveling at this song & band I'd never heard of. In 1976, I stayed with my aunt for a week & I raided my older cousin's record collection since he was away at college. Among all the usual Grateful Dead and Led Zeppelin LPs was a copy of In Search of the Lost Chord. I listened to it constantly, making the connection to the band that recorded Nights in White Satin. After that, I bought my own copies of Search and Days, followed by each of the other 7 original albums. I became a lifelong Moody Blues fans, getting to see them in concert and envying a friend who engineered a session with Justin Hayward and Annie Haslam of Renaissance. Thanks for this episode about one of my all-time favorite songs by one of my favorite bands.

Moody Blues played "If You Gotta Go, Go Now" on the night it got to # 1 on the UK charts. Months later my friend Rob said there's a new album out that's a new idea by the Moody Blues and I doubted him because "Go Now" was more of a pop song. We went into a record shop and listened to the album. We were both blown away. The album was "Days of Future Passed" and it's been in my vinyl collection ever since.

The MB's tended to explain deep emotions that most of us have throughout our lives, without becoming plain frivolous. I remember being in junior high school (you guessed it...1972) at a school dance and thinking "I know this song, my brother has it on an album that was at least 5 years old". Thank you for capturing the deep emotions that so many of us had when hearing such a beautiful song. I feel you did a great job capturing those emotions.

Back in the 90s I gave several lectures on progressive rock at a local college as a guest speaker in a music history class. I cited "Days Of Future Passed" as one of the pioneering albums that started the genre. It is truly a remarkable and groundbreaking album. I also grew up in Seattle and didn't know the history of why every time 'Nights In White Satin' was played on the radio that it included the Late Lament poem down to the gong ending. That's very cool that this trend started in my home town.

It was slippery slope that opened the genre of rock ‘n’ roll to me. By 1980’s I had gotten into Nuggets and Pebbles garage rock and punk. I was never the same again.

I bought Moody Blues LPs with this song on it when they were first released about 50 years ago. I built up a great sound system together with my JBL dream speakers I got a loan for in 1979 and partied with at 500 hundred parties at my place over 50 years between 30 moves including Montreal, Vancouver and Toronto with 500 Lps, 100 45s, 1,000 CDs and a legendary JBL Control Monitor 4311 3-way studio speaker used to produce the most Gold records in history including 30 gold records by the sound engineer for the Eagles. It always sounded great, whether at 1 watt or 1,000 watts. So much great music from 1960 up to now to party with. I used to bring my own custom party cassette and then CD to parties and put in on when they wanted people to start dancing. People loved dancing to great rock and roll party music I brought.
