This is actually two songs you have listened to, "Afternoon" & "Evening". The whole album is a day, next would be "Nights In White Satin" & "Lament" It is so hard to believe it has been 42 years since Days of Future Passed came out. I was only 5 years old but my Mom listened to this album a lot, so it has a precious place in my heart.
My wife is from Belgium, and I am from the states. Her take on why the brits produced the majority of the best classic60’s 70’s rock is due to the weather. Grey and rainy all the time inspires people. I agree with her
Thank you for reacting to Moody Blues. I was raised on this music and have raised my kids on it, raised them to be eclectic, to have a love and appreciation for kinds of music. This song, on the album Days Of Future Past and the Moody Blues in general are so under appreciated it's crazy. Especially when it's referenced in movies like Dark Shadows, and X-Men Days Of Future Past. This album is absolutely brilliant following the path of a day. Thank You so much for showing the appreciation to react to Moody Blues, much respect!!!
Whenever I first started listening to the Moodies's core seven--on vinyl, no skipping tracks!--it was like exploring a new country. It took a few trips through before I got familiar with what was there. During the Pinder years they never wrote filler; every track was worth the time to listen to it. If you only know what you hear on the radio or see on MTV, you don't know a fifth of what the Moodies had to offer.
Lol lol lol holy cow you went from Tuesday afternoon right into the evening lol the band is Moody Blues and I swear I think you were ready to get up and dance. Love the reaction and love the album...♡
I know everyone is saying this, but try it some morning...turn on the album and listen start to finish with your coffee. It will probably turn into the most cheerful day of your life, especially if theres a sweetie with you. The story is really like a full day date from sunrise to night. Its beautiful. Edit...awesome that you did afternoon and evening as one! Great choice!
One of my favorite songs by them! This is such a great album from beginning to end. Such an under-rated band. Sorry I didn't catch this reaction earlier!
Days of Future Passed was one of the first rock concept albums, and I believe the first to incorporate a full orchestra (London Festival Orchestra). You actually listened to TWO songs, as Tuesday Afternoon runs into "Evening" - The Sun Set/Twilight Time. This gem is actually better listened to in its entirety, as it musically portrays the journey of a day, from Daybreak to Night. It's fantastically ahead of its time and firmly cemented the Moody Blues in my mind as one of the greatest bands EVER. Check out their albums from the late 1967 (this one) through 1978 - the first 8 with keyboardist Mike Pinder; then notice the synth-driven change in their sound in the 80s after Pinder left the band and was replaced with Patrick Moraz. Their sound further evolved from the 90s onward after the departure of Moraz, yet still was unmistakably the Moody Blues with the sweet, mellow, and expressive yet sometimes haunting voice of Justin Hayward. Truly a voice from heaven, and in my opinion, one of the best bands ever. Fun Fact: Hayward named his daughter Doremi.... do-re-mi. How clever!
I'm a LED head also and classic rock, alternative rock,grunge,r&b,soul fan,glad to see you are enjoying digging in the classic rea of rock,may I suggest some steely dan, guarantee you will love them ,a huge u2 fan to the max
Great reaction!! I have always loved these songs together and im always a little sad when they aren't played together. Kudos to you for opting for the full version. I would never opt for anything less than a full version of any song. Love your channel and keep the classics coming.
This entire album, Days Of Future Passed, should be reviewed in it's entirety. By the way, another great album by the Moody Blues is called To Out Children's Children's Children. A truly underrated album with some really great gems on it. So far ahead of it's time that it didn't spawn any hits but such a great album that it didn't need to. I sincerely hope you get to hear it. It is my personal favorite Moody Blues album.
They actually started out as a R & B influenced Band whose first hit was "Go Now" originally done by Blues Singer Bessie Banks. Denny Laine who was the "Original" Lead Singer left to join Wings with Paul & Linda McCartney. Justin Wrote or Co-Wrote virtually every single that they ever had. If you can listen to "Nights In White Satin", "Ride My See Saw" or "Your Wildest Dreams" and "I Know You're Out There Somewhere".
You are so adorable with your reaction. They started out as A Blues Band hence the name but Justin Hayward wasn't the original lead singer. That was Denny Laine who would later join Paul McCartney & Wings. He has either Written or Co-Written virtually every single song they had since the 1960's. Try Nights In White Satin, or Your Wildest Dreams. If you listen very carefully the drumbeat sounded like something that The Police sampled for Every Breath You Take.
Yeah, this is a good one. Along these lines, Procol Harum's 'Lighter shade of pale' is worth listening to. ED: 8:40 it starts off... chill? Minimalist? It's reminiscent of a slow sunrise, which I think was the point.
Wow! You have the long version! I haven’t heard the long version since my sister left home and took this album with her. Nice! Days of Future Past was the album.
Music Fan276 maybe, but i think yes in this version, Tuesday afternoon is very most famous than the normal version, and this can be maybe for the concerts because they only play the court version ( sorry for my English xd)
MUSIC HISTORY 101: "Days of Future Passed" (1967 -- the 2nd side of which this cut was taken) was a seminal work in the history of 20th Century music. It was not only the first work specifically composed for both rock/pop band and classical symphony orchestra, but also marked the first combined recording sessions of the two and the first live performances of them playing together. Whenever you hear strings, deep horns, light woodwinds, or tympani in pop, rock, R&B, or any modern music -- please remember that all that shit started right here, the very first flower of progressive rock.
These two songs are from the Moody Blues concept album Days Of Future Passed, of 1967. If you should feel the urge to play more MB music, I strongly recommend you find the time to play the said album from start to finish without interruptions. When I did, back in 1982 I played the tape over and over till it almost wore out! I could never understand how I “missed” it fifteen years previous. Another LP by them I also played to death was Seventh Sojourn, of 1972. I concur with someone who submitted their views...the first seven LPs are the best; they give a perfect illustration of this band, how their music and innovations evolved during the late 60s and early 70s.
So the Moody Blues and Yes were my favorite bands. Tuesday Afternoon was actually the song that ‘called to me’ one warm summer night as a new feeling swept across the country. Dawn is a Feeling from this album is really good. I’d love for you to do It’s Up to You though.from A Question of Balance, then Dawning is The Day from that same album. Trust me?
@JAMFamily, the song's name is Tuesday Afternoon, not Moody Blues. The band is The Moody Blues, one of the greatest British bands. Here is a great Moody Blues fan group on facebook: facebook.com/groups/MoodyBluesFans/
I appreciate and respect those who take on The Moody Blues music. The story of this Band is well worth pursuing to bring everything into perspective. What you just listened to are the first and second songs of the “B” side of the concept album “Days Of Future Passed”, regarded by many, including myself, as one of the greatest albums of all...its conception in 1967 set the “Moodies” along a new direction. Over to you, my friend...listen and enjoy!
even though you went into the song that comes after tuesday afternoon, The Evening which flows from tues. i truly hope you check out all their stuff especiallty the first 7 albums from days to seventh sojourn. youll find a whole lot of interesting music
One of those English bands who are actually better live than their recordings.Classically trained and it shows.Saw the reunion at the Royal Albert Hall in 2001?2? cant remember,and it was magical with the full orchestra. check out their performance at Red Rock,its stunning in a mystical setting,a great venue and the Moodys do it more than justice.
came back for a second watch, hope you had the chance to listen to this album in its entirety. heres one you might like if you really like music, try their song "Procession, Story in Your Eyes", this will take you on a journey from the beginnings of music which leads into a great rock tune
the art school phenomenon in London in the 60's where everything was encouraged and out of the chaos came the best music era ever and the social conditions in the UK at the time spawned many a great band/singer/artist,but of course,the standard and height of the bar was raised exponentially by the Beatles,they showed what could be achieved,everything that followed had that standard,or close as possible to it.The result? Iconic,inventive,creative British bands. i was 16 in 1970 so had the lot from a young age and it remains the most exciting time of my life.A wonderful place and I'm so glad i lived all my young life in the centre of music,London.
It's an interesting question. The creativity is there, and the willingness to listen music from around the world and apply it to your own situation helped. Most of the great British bands in the sixties and seventies were strongly influenced by American Blues, and even sampled Indian music, merged with classical music too. These bands then took those influences and applied a unique quality of Britishness. They contain humour, and a quirky view of the world. Prog rock in particular became a unique sound like no other from before. Floyd, Genesis, Yes, Tull, Supertramp, etc. So much for us Brits to be proud of. But, having a global language must have also helped with marketing the music around the world. It's our greatest gift, and what Britain has been truly great at.
@@drcarp7377 I've known many an American,and we all agreed that the REAL special relationship between our great nations,is our music. We were inspired by the (largely) ignored blues greats of America,took it,gave it a British edge and sold it back to them. Only now are the bluesmen who inspired everyone getting recognition.Most died penniless.Eric Clapton,Page,Gilmour,keith richard etc etc paid homage through the iconic music they all produced.
HEY BRO LIKE FOR YOU TO CHECK OUT BILLY IDOL EYES WITHOUT A FACE AND AMBROSIA YOU'RE THE ONLY WOMAN THIS IS FROM A OLD SCHOOL BROTHER HOPE YOU CAN REACT SOON RIGHT ON BRO
