I don’t think John Lodge was underrated, he had the falsetto voice & base guitar, very needed for their soundtrack. Justin Hayward is so gorgeous, the women go crazy over him, back then. I think they all were cute in their hay days. 🥰
RIP Mike Pinder, you were a pioneer of the mellotron. No group has ever copied the sound of the Moodies. The song "The Voice", post Pinder, is my fav song cuz Voice Rd is a road in MI that leads to beautiful North Bar Lake that has great memories for me when I lived up there.
Thank you, Moody Blues “ for all the beautiful music you’ve put out for everyone to enjoy. Their music sounds just as good today as it did years ago, it never gets old & definitely beats all the other music out there today! Thank you, Pointreven for playing The Moody Blues “ music videos!👍👏👏👏♥️
Wow, this is an incredible performance. And they pulled out two gems, Driftwood and Talking out of Turn you rarely hear live. Moodies will live forever!!
The "Band" lost their drummer Graeme Edge and flutist Ray Thomas. RIP guys. Thank you for being part of an incredible band. Justin Hayward and John Lodge are the surviving members. carrying the "torch" to continue the music. Their music is classic! Mike Pinder and Denny Laine left the lineup.
Maybe it's been said here before, but this is perfection of timing to the point of genius, a really tight band. You can visually see Justin listening for each note and timing everything everyone else is doing and they are timing to his lead, perfectly! He does it with the keenest of pleasure showing on his face as if he lives for hearing all the notes from everyone, not just himself. Every band leader should be as brilliant. John and Ray know how to fill in as many notes as possible to bring the most pleasure to our ears. BEST BAND, so far! Really tight, they were! Wonder if it could ever happen again
This really takes one back to the days when just the five band members on were stage but I enjoyed the larger productions with Norda Mullen, Julie Ragins, Gordie Marshall, and Alan Hewitt on stage live as well.. Being before Gordie Marshall became the second drummer on tour, one can see Graeme was a pretty darn good drummer on his own, probably much under rated. The tempo of Tuesday Afternoon seems a bit quicker than one hears on the "Lovely to See You" concert DVD. In my mind, the finest band ever and saw them live about twenty five times from 1978 (Providence RI) to 2018 at their final public appearance in Las Vegas. R.I.P. Ray and Graeme.
I have to disagree. I'm a Moodies fanatic myself, but like so many bands when they play live, they're playing this ever so slightly rushed, and as a result some of the critical pocket that gives the recording its feel is lost. It still sounds great, but they're in a bit of a hurry.
@@designerlarry I was very impressed with strange times and december. barring tony clark producing when they took the reins and produced their own albums I felt yaay back to the original style ! what's to do ? take your guitar, pad of paper, write, record, sell the result. South Park is right! what do you need a company for ? nicer fountains ? IF that's even what's stopping them. Justin was asked, he said LONG AGO now, theres material, but I just dont know. I WANTTO HEAR IT ! They shouldve had 5 now since "December" I think the fans have got to speak out. write. etc
Those commenting here will appreciate how we get to see Justin's look and demeanor mature in his videos. He's just as beautiful, but there is a sexiness, confidence and maturity that we get to see develop that hasn't quite surfaced in earlier times. And then there's John in those leather pants! 💖
В этой яркой и безумно талантливой британской команде The Moody Blues трудно выделить какого - нибудь лидера - эта изумительная команда напоминает мне маленький симфонический оркестр с прекрасными вокальным искусством !! Спасибо Вам J. Lodge, G. Edge, R. Thomas, M. Pinder, J. Hayward ! The Moody Blues - высочайший класс ! ❤
Yes, I love that they are always updating their classics. Tonight, I listened to their 1969 live Paris performance of “Tuesday Afternoon” - they played it almost like a ballad.
Such a feast for the ears AND the eyes…how I wish I could have been there. I love how Hayward’s voice just soars on those sustained notes and how Lodge’s voice melds perfectly.
I was at this concert. Wembley Arena, November 1984 as part of their ‘Voices In The Sky’ UK tour for the charity NSPCC. It was filmed by the BBC. I was seated in the upper side tier near the stage on John Lodge’s side of the stage. A great concert. My favourite band and I’ve been a fan since 1969.
Cool performance with a gem in Driftwood live and John's Isnt life Strange, Talking Out of Turn classics...love the hit intro of Tuesday Afternoon...nice to hear The Voice done perfectly live by The Voice of Justin Hayward...great to see Ray with his harmonies and beautiful flute pieces. Love the sepia both Justin and John looking absolutely gorgeous, enjoying this video...thankyou, definately one for my Moodies playlist on here. 💙
There aren't many "live" performances I enjoy as much as this. One thing that has always drawn me to the Moody's is that their concerts are true to their original songs - some enhancements here and there, but not over the top...Not every 3-4 minute song needs to be 10-15 minutes in concert.
While it’s great to see the Moodies here, since they lost 3 key members, I don’t think Justin and John will ever return for a tribute concert. I love the way both of them took lead on Isn’t Life Strange. RIP, Ray, Graeme, Mike, Denny and Clint.
They should have just made him an official member...he really brought them back to life....and after they kicked him out of the band in 1991, they went downhill. could it be karma?
Yes Patrick Moraz could have gotten more settlement than the measly 430k pounds. In the 13 years wd MB, he contributed much. Anyway MB offered 700k but moraz went to court asking 3 million
The Moody Blues are up for Induction into Rock n Roll Hall of Fame . Their Induction is Long Overdue . Fans are urged to please go to the Halls Website and Vote for the Induction of the Moody Blues . This is one omission by the Hall that that needs to be corrected .
@@designerlarry from the court tv the Moodys did offer Patrick an equal share and be a Moody but he turned it down. Your right, he screwed himself. Hell of a keyboard player.
Patrick was a great addition to this band although many would disagree. I doubt their live performances in the 80’s would have been half as good without him. Shame they fell out so badly.
There IS a Mellotron on this stage, the Model MK V , played by Moraz on "The Voice" . I have one, a M400 model, and the Model MK V is a double M400 side by side.
