My first big date in while a Junior High student around 1967 was to take a girl to see Moody Blues at the Fillmore East, NYC. A subway ride from Brooklyn and we had an experience of a lifetime.
I am so happy that I was 20 years old when "Nights in White Satin" and their album "Days of Future Passed" came out and I bought it right away. I was a teen and in my early 20s when all this phenomenal music of the '60s was at its height. Music was just so amazing then and I still listen all the time to all of it. I STILL get goosebumps whenever I hear "Nights in White Satin" always sends me in another place.....so many memories flood back, both happy and sad.
Nights In White Satin is one of the all-time best songs. Add in the Orchestra and the magic of Justin Hayward's voice and you have one of the best classic songs of the 60's/70's.

This is The Moody Blues late in their career. Years ago, I saw The Moody Blues LIVE and got to see them do this son g live. I recommend you do the song: NEW HORIZONS by them. It is another hauntingly beautiful song by them. AND if you want a real rocker by them I recommend: THE STORY IN YOUR EYES.
An amazing high-energy track from them is "The Story in Your Eyes." I don't know that there's a good live version out there, so just enjoy the studio achievement. 👍😁🎸
Might be the cannabis but I seem to remember them coming to my home town and playing with a local orchestra from one of the universities here! I didn't go.Should have!
Earth angels taming you to Heaven. Ministering to the broken hearted. Nursing hearts back from the edge of despair.so the strong survive. Thise eho are willing to ridk a live crushing heartbreak. To be ministered to by tge angels and to go on to live again. Only God knew we would need this music and even though Gid neant fir us ti fe married to one love sll our life. The devil stole all our dreams of live . Gid has lived us through it all because there is another group of angels here, above in our skies that want to sink our souls into hell. But guess what, God seez the intrntions of ours hearts and how we are too naive to know what the devil does to lead naive humans into his evil dark world and most of us turn around and run. While the others among us race towards the sin snd money snd power and perversion and pedo snd human blood safrafice. The perpetrators are nit human they are descrmdenys or dem9ns m thry hate chikdren whoesse parents eere mit dlaves to the occult witchcraft and dark evil agendas
In 1968 I was in the third grade and my music teacher would play this record and put the words up on the overhead projector and the whole class would sing this , I was 8 years old and this brought tears to my eyes , I'm 62 now !
I actually got to see them live, on my birthday, with the full Orchestra- i had goosebumps the entire evening. One of my greatest concert experiences, ever. They played the entire Days of Future Passed album, along with several other gems..
I am beyond jealous!!! I've seen some of the greatest musicians alive in the past fifty years and I never had the opportunity to see them ... Allow me to cry just a little bit 😢
That gesture is called a "chef's kiss" and is used to show perfection or excellence. Only just learned that a few weeks ago. Appropriate for this timeless tour de force.
They also had a great concert out in Red Rocks in Colorado as well with a full orchestra. I got to see them in Dallas in the 90s. They were active from 1964-1974 and then 1977-2018. So they recently quit after two of the band members crossed over. They were so talented and I considered them my spiritual band growing up, their lyrics were just magical. So they had an orchestra and ELO had a small orchestra all the time so yay for both!
Great review. Hard to describe how talented they were. All five members writing the songs and four trading lead vocals! If you loved this, next listen to "Isn't Life Strange" live ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-N5NdcBY1Znw.html
I was only 17 when I bought their Greatest Hits album. Just love their sound. Always takes me on a special ride. Please react to I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band, and Question. Thx Biz
Great review man! I’ve loved this song a very long time and to me it’s up there with the song NOVEMBER RAIN which has well did have 2 Billion RU-vid views. If you haven’t seen that you should
Believe it or not, Midland-Odessa in west Texas oil patch actually has a decent symphony orchestra. The Moodies toured through there in '92 and played the album with the band as the first half of the concert. Suffice to say they'd never received a standing ovation like they got from the rock fans that night
I saw them live, back in the day. First and only time I ever tried mushrooms. Both were a little mellow for me (MB and mushrooms) . . . but not bad, lol.
A few thoughts... It's still so mind-boggling that this song was written while in their late teens. The Moody Blues were one of the rock pioneers of the 'concept' album. I was lucky to have seen them perform a couple of times, but never with a full orchestra, and my, how extra-wonderful that must've been! ❤
