Justin Hayward - "Blue Guitar" (Live) 

I don’t think some people realize how insane it is how close he sounds to the original close to FIFTY years ago. That is INSANE. Like seriously. Out of this world

Justin Hayward never disappoints.

His songs are an antidote to this crazy world.

Such a beautiful song. Makes my heart smile.

a most happy birthday wish to you Justin! i hope you have many more to celebrate. keep on rocking, there are literally millions of us fans who love and appreciate your talent which is an inspiration to us all!

Never heard a bad song from any of the Moody Blues. Is there one? This is a band of great musicians, with great talent, and God given gifts.

Wow!! 45 years later and Justin’s voice is still as good as the original recording. Impressed beyond words really.

I love this song to this day. Thank you Justin, for all the joy you bring into our lives.

Genius never grows old, neither does love. Thank you Justin.

The perfect antidote to a "blue"Tuesday New England afternoon. Thank you, Justin!💙🎸

Absolutely gorgeous! I love this song, and the sounds of that guitar in your hands. Thank you, Justin!

Justin with the members of 10cc must have been quite a memorable moment in the recording studio. Thanks again for posting this, and wishing you a very Happy Birthday tomorrow Justin!

Still love his voice!!❤️💕

I am always in awe of people’s talents in music. It is a gift that you received and a gift that you share to us, your ever devoted fans. You have inspired me to pick up my guitars and start to seriously learn how to play. Being an older man, it takes some time but in the past two years I really feel I am on the right path. Thank you for the music all these years. I have been privileged to have seen you in concert at least 10 times and look forward to many more once this pandemic is in our rear view mirrors. Stay safe and keep on spreading the music. Thank you thank you thank you! Happy Birthday Justin.

Blue 🎸 Guitar or You Are? Great title for a beautiful tune indeed, Justin! Thanks for inviting us your fans every Tuesday afternoon for your musical treats!

❤️ "Electrifying" and gorgeous! Thank you Justin! Happy Birthday tomorrow! ❤️ 🍾

Thought I’d lookup this song as it was always one of my favourites from my youth years. I nearly choked on my cup of tea when I heard Justin say that he first recorded it at Strawberry Recording Studios in Stockport. I live and was brought up in Stockport, less than a couple of miles away from the studios!

Justin's voice still delivers

Stunning. One of my all time fav songs. Heard it by surprise on British TV while following a company training course in Ireland some 30 years ago. Never even knew the song existed until then, and was unable to find a record of it. So happy to (also by surprise) have found it here. Greetings to all Moody Justin fans from Sweden!

You take me (and maybe everyone else) on a trip. A trip through time, scratching memories out of my head, re-living moments of days gone by. Man, it's been a while. A long, good, sweet while.

This is on my list of all-time ever favorite songs... Thank you, Justin. For all the years of incredible music. And happiest of birthdays to you!

Another beautiful song to listen to on Tuesday Afternoon. Thanks Justin for bringing us closer your wonderful music. If you haven't already, you put out an album of some of your best ballads. I will also say Happy Birthday tomorrow, and again Thanks for bringing us along on your magical journey each Tuesday Afternoon.

Justin sounds good as he ever does. Love the guitar accompaniment. 11/ 23

Justin, your music is a calm voice in this crazy world.. my favorite songwriter

That voice..... always there, always spellbinding. Thanks, Justin!

Amazing song. Such a beautiful tone on his guitar intro as well.

It's BLUEtifull!!...even today!!...bless you Justin!!❣️😍

Happy birthday for tomorrow and thanks for these Tuesday afternoons I lived in Swindon my children attended your old school Commonweal and I spent my years from 30 til now listening to your beautiful pyschedelic style rock - am now 71 and enjoying your music with memories of a lost and happy past- long may you make music

Just a world treasure he is. I love him. What a tune.

Great song, great singer! Happy birthday!

This is the only reason I log onto RU-vid.

My favorite justin hayward song of all time

That's an amazing guitar! Sounds fantastic! Always been a Les Paul guy, but now I want a 335!

What a voice! And still handsome as ever! Saw you at Sun City, South Africa in 1995, fourth row from the front. Unforgettable! Thank you for still singing!

As a guitar player id love to hang out with justin for a week. Incredable songwriter

Happy birthday Justin. Hope it's a great one. You are the best.

I never considered the classic Moody Blues as a 'guitar band'. But these Tuesday Afternoon vids are affording me a better appreciation of Justin's guitar work.

Among the many things I admire about Justin is his posture! And in this performance the guitar playing and singing is so close to the original studio version. Love it.

Awesome Justin. I have been listening to your songs since I was about 14 years old.

What a joy to hear you sing again. Love it! Thanks so much.

Love this song!

I do look forward, when I come to your concerts, of your playing Blue Guitar, because I miss watching you play the guitar the way you use to play like in Ride My See Saw. Your playing your red guitar is an art in motion. This song also reminds me of Country music. LoLs. I so look forward to these Tuesday afternoons. And I want to wish you a very Happy Birthday which is tomorrow. Men should be so lucky to look as handsome as you do now as well as in your early years. And your voice....it is still magickal!

Just beautiful. So beautiful.

Thank you for being the music that tells the story of my life. Happy birthday Justin🧡

That's a fine melody...made my day ..

Legend, no more to be said.

We are down to a few more songs from that setlist! Happy Birthday tomorrow Justin! Hope it's a lovely day for you!

What a delight to stumble across this today!! 💜🎶✌

Happy Birthday tomorrow, Justin. Always loved this song.

This has been one of my favorites since I snagged this to record off a radio station somewhere in 1975 or 6 and played it to some musician friends. They couldn't believe how beautiful it was and no one knew about it! As soon as I first heard it, I knew it was great, same with "Gypsy" another divine trip. Thanks Justin, your music is a life saver!

great tune, every version is beautiful, thanks Justin!

Thanks Justin for such a beautiful song. I only wish your guitar outro on the original recording had lasted longer. Your tone was so glorious on that track. Pure humbucker heaven

I heard this beautiful song on the Blue Jays album for the 1st. time. Truly a classic. Love that red Gibson, Justin. ❤❤❤

This song is one of my most played songs, just love the sound of the guitar.

Justin, sounds wonderful! It’s been a real favorite to watch and hear in your solo set. We love seeing your 335 come out as much as you always seem pleased to play it again for us, like you did in many hundreds of Moodies’ shows. Thank you for the gift of these charming performances! Sending warm greetings your way..Happy Birthday, and bright and happy times!

Love this song, so beautiful

STUNNING!!!

The intro gets me every time. ❤🎸🎶 Thank you ❤

BEAUTIFUL......

Wonderful to know the story to this stunning song..love the guitar 🎸🎸🎸🎸

Wonderful Justin thanks I'm a massive fan👍

Justin you're awesome man! I hope to get the chance to hangout with you someday, and play some tunes! I grew up in the late 90's and always wanted to talk to a musician from that era

Thank you again Justin for your Tuesday afternoon gifts. The best line for the the times in the States is this: "New. . .HOPE". Please choose your November 3 song wisely. It will mean a lot to the world.

This is one of my favorite songs from you. Having done it originally with the members of 10cc is another plus. Happy birthday!

Huge MB fan since the late 70s.....many late night design projects worked on while listening to this song... "Heart and Soul". Thank you so much, Justin!! You are the BEST!!

I love hearing the guitar in this one and I love hearing the stories of how the songs I’ve been listening to for so many years came about. Xx

Justin Ive always loved Blue Guitar..Ive got it down as a torch ballad on you tube on my playlists...love your solo band version and I was so glad you played it live at the last solo tour I saw you in...love the intro and everything about this Blue Jays hit..💙🎸 Happy Tuesday and Happy birthday 74 tomorrow its my birthday just a few days after 🎂🎈🎈🎈 🎵🎶🎵

Thank Justin' You For All The Great And Beautiful Music, I have listened to the Moody Blues since 1967 days of future past

Thank you so much for this beautiful song

His voice. Liquid gold. As always. But don't sleep on his guitar playing. He is spectacularly talented. And always a class act.

Brilliant!Thank you Justin!👏👏👏👏

Im 67. Loved you since i started listening to music around 13. Love your music still

Thank you Sir for so many years of pleasure.

He is amazing. Incredible song by him, like so many others.

My teen years were challenging, and the best respite was to lie on the floor of my bedroom and listen to Days of Future Past, then other MB albums. 50 years later, I still get such calmness from listening to the Moody Blues and Blue Jays albums. I can't begin to tell you what an important role you played in my earlier life and still do. A few years back, I was undergoing surgery and my brother arranged for Days of Future Past to play on headphones while it was happening. I'll always treasure my memories of seeing you live at the Albert Hall, once in Vancouver, BC, Canada, and three times in Victoria, BC, Canada. Thank you for your gift to me and to countless others.

This song is one of the reasons I asked my parents for guitar lessons. As soon as this came out I rushed to the shop to buy the 45 which I still have in 2022!! The production and the pure ethereal sound of it are incredible. To this day the opening bars are spine tingling. The Moodys were brilliant and Justin is a true maestro!!Its only taken all these years to find out HOW he got that incredible sound from the 335 - now I need to buy a compressor :)) LOVING that studio Justin!! Still nailing this as good as the day you recorded it!👏👏👏👏👏 Its well overdue I believe for your knighthood for services to music!! Makes note to self BUY a Gibson 335! I always wondered what guitar was used for this outstanding song.

Pure Magic!!!!

Justin Hayward - "Blue Guitar" (Live) You still have your beautiful ballad voice and lyrics. It is wonderful to see that you are still being creative musically after all these years sir. You have been followed from the very beginning when the Moody Blues entered into the music land arena. You are the Great Night in White Satin. Sending Greetings to you from Phuket Thailand. Holistic Chef Barry Anderson

Thank you for helping my mind getting out of the Vietnam war “whole”

Most wonderful guitarist and voice, gives me goosebumps!

I watched the whole video with tears in my eyes; such a beautiful, heartfelt song! Justin can create lovely melodies like no other 💙

For pre-teen me, this was an absolute favourite song. Still sounds amazing today.

Always loved this song. Still do!

Most excellent. They can't take this vibe away from us. I won't let them.

When I heard Days Of Future Passed I knew I was in love. Being born in 1950 this was a universe undreamed of. Being a big The Allman Brothers Band fan, I carried it over to a friend’s apt who was also a major TABB fan. He called it “candy rock.” But me, I have everything TABB and everything MB and all the slo albums. I call them “magic mind rock.”

Was fortunate to find a nearly identical ES-335 (1968 model) at a shop in Chicago 15 years ago. I have several professional musician friends that drool over it every time I bring it out. Great axe!

Amen, that was beautiful. Your poetry, singing and guitar playing never ceases to amaze me.

Justin and 10cc, a match made in heaven.

Great song - bought the single back in 1975 I think when I was a Bank Clerk but not for long ..ha ha Saw you live at Glastonberry in 2015 - fantastic concert and put a couple of clips on You tube. Many happy memories and feelings from your songs Thanks

Thank youbso much Sir Justin. I never thought its rposuble repeat this masterpiece. I was born in 1974 in Poland so in early 80s my father showed me when I was 6yo special riff call ,,Ride my See Saw" I never knew who's play in Moody Blues maybe shame but behind ,,iron curtain" West stars was unique. And in 90s when cds appeared I bought ,,Blue Guitar" I have no words. This version live bring my memories till them. My father pasted away but I know now what's Moody Blues means. Thanks again Sir Justin for a great music. Ps My fav song is Wild Sideoc Life and Ride My See Saw but Nostradamus and Blue Guitar are specail feeling behind Moody Blues thank you again and all the best Mastar Jh♥️

Justin. Just beautiful. I have always loved this. Will last till the end of time

Wow, are you telling me that for 45 years I've believed that you and John made this song, and now you're saying that John wasn't even a part of the original song? Man, you just blew my mind! It still one of my very favorite songs though.

Wow, my prior observations were confirmed. Justin Hayward is one of those Story Tellers who take us back to a certain understanding of the musical source of transcendence - in this case, "Blue Guitar."

Absolutely perfect 💖.

Another lovely performance, bravo! And I wish you a happy and wonderful birthday tomorrow. You Are the best!

It's a wonderful song. 💜💜🎶💛💚

A very Happy Birthday Justin!!! Much Love to YOU!!!!

Have a wonderful birthday Justin. I'm enjoying your Tuesday Afternoons. Thank you for sharing your stories and music,... 💜 Victoria

Such a beautiful song. Amazing.

Such a beautiful melody ❤️
