his voice is still as great as it ever was in his youth, one of the best voices in music history

He wrote that song at age 19,amazing song originally came out in 1967, then it was released again in 1972, one of the greatest songs ever made!

His voice has aged better than anyone in rock. You still need to hear him at 20. It will make you cry.

This song is one of those masterpieces that defy the sands of time. Why can't we make music like this anymore?😢

The lead singer, Justin Hayward, wrote this when he was 19. He is 77 and still on tour! I will see him live again in June! His voice is still as beautiful and compelling as EVER!! And your reaction to Rays flute is so charming!! Thank you!!

Every member of the Moody Blues was so talented and could play multiple instruments. Studio albums they didn't need a backup orchestra, they could produce an orchestra themselves.

"Nights In White Satin" is their most famous song. Moody Blues are one of my favorite groups from the 60's-80's. Love their mix of rock with classical music. Lots of great songs such as "Go Now", "Tuesday Afternoon", "The Story In Your Eyes", "Question", "Ride My See-Saw", "I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band)", "Gemini Dream", "The Voice" etc. All of their music is great! Many of their records are concept albums & meant to be listened to all at once. Sadly Ray Thomas their flute player & singer passed away in 2018 & their drummer Graeme Edge passed away in 2021.

The main force in the group behind the rich orchestral and cosmic texture in their music within the seven core albums, was Mike Pinder, co-founder of the band, keyboard player and songwriter (who left the band in the late 70s, way before this concert) just passed away a week ago. Mike's transcendent soul and creativity was the life-force behind the Moody Blues. He's up there with the great classical composers. RIP on your journey, Mike!

"Days of future passed" was an album with a lot of orchestral back up. You would enjoy it.

The Moody Blues created music that are "trippy" and that you don't have to get "high" to appreciate or "groove" into it. Its one of those music that I listen to when I feel "moody" and it just relaxes me and as mentioned my mind goes "tripping" to it. Great band.

This is originally a very old song, from the 1960s. Moody Blues were one of the first groups to fuse rock with orchestration.

Mike Pinder the founder of the group and keyboard player just passed a couple of days ago. He was the one who came up with these arrangements. Once they did this they found their sound and created a whole genre.

Cutie he has always soundedl like this he hasnt lost anything in his VOICE other artists have covered this but not 1 can touch this❤❤❤❤

4:54 Apologies if you've already done it but if you love the Flute then Jethro Tull is a must, the pinnacle! There was no such thing as Folk Rock until Ian Anderson decided there should be! Almost on a whim he became one of the world's greatest flautists. Their live performances are amazing! A bunch of amazing musicians just having a great time! I challenge anybody to hold back a smile whilst watching them.

Wow, Biss, Moody Blues, you've really gone back to a classic from my pre-teen yrs. There's nothing like the 60s/70s. His voice is still 90% of what it was. Beautiful incl. the flute, haunting. Super pick, 😊

I saw them in 1981, 1983, 1985, 1987 and 1992. Never a wrong note and the emotional response was there everytime. Awesome band.

I was 15 when this song was "born" in 1967!!! His voice is like a time machine....the same after all these years!! PERFECT!!!!💜💜🎶🎼🎵🎸🎧🥁🎤🎹🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘

Such A BEAUTIFUL BAND AND A BEAUTIFUL SONG ....THIS BAND AGED VERY WELL

Everyone has their opinion about which is the best version of this song and whether it's a live version or a studio version, I like them all, but this for me is the very best of the best. It's a mature sound and along with the amazing orchestra brings out the fullness of the piece. This song is from my youth, I'm 70 years old, so I've listened to it many, many times over the years and also though I've heard many other songs from these guys, this is by far my favorite and also my favorite performance. Thank you for your reaction young lady!

This is one of the best songs ever written.

I've been listening to this song since 1972. It never gets old. My favorite album of theirs is "Days of Future Past". It is a whole operetta. Glad you enjoyed them. His voice is as strong and true as it was in the 70s. Good reaction.

I first heard the Moodies in 1968. I was blown away, as I was by the group Chicago and Blood, Sweat and Tears. The orchestral sound, the horns. WOW! I did a hitch in the USMC, and had myself together in 1973, upon my discharge. Saw the Moodies in 1974. Saw them again in 1977 and 1980. All the concerts were, as you noticed, heralded by the audience being silent as they performed. It was magical. Still is. Music such as they made will never grow tired or get old. Neither will it ever be composed to their level again. I am so pleased to have grown in an era which had such marvelous musicians. Thank you for your review.

You said you wanted more orchestra... "The Good, the Bad & the Ugly" by the Danish National Symphony Orchestra. It's pretty unique.

I've grown up with these guys, and his voice hasn't changed one pitch.

If you like the flute you may like Jethro Tull. They have plenty of flute music. They are/were a progressive rock band. Their best album, IMO, is Thick as a Brick. It was done tongue-in-cheek but is so good.

"Cold hearted Orb that rules the night -- Removes the colors from our sight. Red is grey, and yellow white. But we decide which is right, and which is an illusion."

So glad you got around to finally hitting the moody blues!! His voice is as good as it ever was!

Thanx for this reaction. The Moody Blues brings me bcak to my youth. The made so much beautiful songs. And Justin has a great voice. This song is still one of their greatest. I remember they used the Moog synthesizer in that days. great compositions.

When they are on tour, they send their music ahead. I live in a southern Indiana town, and we have a great philharmonic orchestra. They backed the Moody Blues very professionally. I rank it as one of the best concerts I have seen.

During the same concert the Moody Blues sang "Question" which is must hear.

I am an old codger and have been a fan of the Moody Blues since their hit with a cover of the Motown classic Go Now. At that time, Denny Laine was the lead singer, and Clint Warwick was the bassist. Justin Hayward replaced Denny Laine as lead singer, and John Lodge replaced Clint Warwick as bassist in 1966, and the music of the band changed from a Blues inspired format to an orchestral, psychedelic form. This song is from the album Days Of Future Passed, which was released in 1967. The album is a concept album and is a day as well as a life of a normal person. The album was recorded with Peter Knight and the London Symphony Orchestra. The Moody Blues were the first rock band to record with a symphony orchestra and also the first band to incorporate a Mellatron. The Mellatron was an instrument that could record sounds on a loop and play them back, enabling the band to have the sound of an orchestra on stage with them as well as other sounds. Mike Pinder was the keyboardist and played the Mellatron and recently passed away at age 82. I was fortunate enough to see the band live many times between 1972 and 1978. I saw them several times performing with symphony orchestras, which was always a special treat. I lost interest after they replaced Mike Pinder with the flashy, less talented (in my opinion) Patrick Moraz in 1978. The music changed direction without the influence of Mike Pinder, who was a major influence in the direction of their earlier sounds that I loved. You should listen to the entire Days Of Future Passed album. The entire album is a masterpiece, and it was one of the three rock albums that were most influential in the direction of music today, along with the Beatles Sargeant Peppers Lonley Hearts Club Band and the Beach Boys Pet Sounds. All three albums were released in 1967, and all were way ahead of their time.

His voice has not changed 1 bit since the original 1967!!!!!! One of the all-time classics of classic Rock!!!!!!!!!!! Grandpa can SANG ;-) Now you see what a whole Band of Grandpas can do ;-) Can you imagine the Genius of the mind of a 19 year old kid to compose this????

Another genius from the past. Absolutely stunning with his band. His voice is timeless...Awesome

This song sounds great with the orchestra. In many of there live performances they have a orchestra with them

Justin did this to us in the 60s. These Moody Blues augmentations were totally unexpected from a rock band. I believe this song even had a monolog in the after song orchestration. This additional effort gave people a greater appreciation for the entire work and not just the edited 3 minute AM monaural pop radio version. FM stations without the same restrictions played the longer album cuts. This elevated the listening experience led to a boost in sales of stereo systems. The long play versions were enjoyed in millions of homes. I would guess that Justin was still at 80 plus percent of his peak when this concert was recorded. We were all surprised when the Moody Blues started releasing new music in the mid-80s. It was as though they had never left. e.g. YOUR WILDEST DREAMS, and it's sequel. I KNOW YOU'RE OUT THERE SOMEWHERE.

"How do we call this?"... We call this what it is: BEAUTIFUL.

🇨🇦 I am surprised you have not reacted to this song before ! And Justin's voice has not changed, this is why they have been my favourite group since 1968 ! 🇨🇦

This always makes me want to hear whiter shade of pale by procol harum

Classic song Biss! This song stands the tset of time! Moody Blues are a great band and this song is more of a Vibe! It takes you on a journey! Thanks for sharing Biss ❤️💛

I saw them live and they looked and sounded identical to this performance and with full orchestra. Best concert I’ve ever seen.

I've heard that called a voice break, in country singing anyways, and it's really cool. Of course, there can be "breaks" in the voice that aren't intentional, like when a guy hits puberty, but that's not the same thing. In country, and wherever it's used, it's intentional. Like when Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues does it. Thanks for letting us join you! God bless you!

One of my all time favorite bands when I was 16. They were quite psychedelic & trippy! 😵‍💫😉

its called passion - feel - emotion pure and simple.

thats a great observation , the crowd being quiet , meaning they are really enjoying it

Justin Hayward is one of those very rare singers whose voice ages like fine wine. He sounds as good in this performance as he did when it was released in the studio so many years ago. Other amazing "senior" vocalists you must check out are: 1) Gary Brooker (Procul Harum - "A Whiter Shade of Pale" Live in Denmark; 2) Burton Cummings (Lead Singer of The Guess Who - Performed "These Eyes" in Las Vegas in 2017); 3) Phil Collins - ("In The Air Tonight" Live in Paris 2004 HD (KZfaq); 4) Heart ("Stairway to Heaven" - Kennedy Center Honors Led Zeppelin); Joe Cocker - ("You Are So Beautiful" - Nearly Unplugged); Louis Armstrong - ("What A Wonderful World" - 1967 ABC); Elton John and Billy Joel - "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road"(Live in Madison Square Garden - Greatest Hits One Night Only" concert).

The late Ray Thomas played the flute here. You probably would enjoy his Moody Blues song called “Legend of a Mind.”

Timeless and beautiful!

Another great song: Forever Autumn. The Moody Blues. (1978)

Love your reaction! This is I think the most famous from Moody Blues. And this live performance one of the best. For me it brings so much memories!

A timeless classic spanning decades and ALL generations! If this doesn't "touch you" (or anyone) nothing would. The way Justin sings "'Cause I love you" will haunt me and bring me peace and warmth and love forever! I heard this song as a child and it hit my soul immediately with goose bumps! When I saw this dropped in I was a bit worried because this is close to my heart (for many reasons) its very deep Bisscute, and for your own journey I guarantee you might come back to this one day in the future when you have room for a deeper love

I too love when you have great songs, that have instruments in them like this flute. I love listening to Elvis as he has such a FULL band in the background!

When I was a little boy, this song scared me because of the haunting sound… as I grew older, I fell in love with it… and that feeling remains today. One of my favorite songs ever.

YAY!!! One of My **Moms** favorite songs & i liked it too when i was a wee lil child YAY **Luvit**

Awesome reaction as usual miss biss! If you enjoy the flute, be sure to check out Jethro Tull. You won't be disappointed 😍🤙

His highest voice registers are perfect, as they were in the 70"s, when I was young and in love. His lower registers aren't quite there but that is understandable. As we (males) age, our voices get higher, not lower as many assume. I know for a fact as a 71 year old singer. This is one of the most beautiful songs written. I'm glad you loved it Bisscute.

This song was originally released in 1967 and his voice sounds nearly exact to what it did back then. I remember this song as a kid, one of my favorites. Also, in the released version there is a poem read at the end, its well worth watching the video from then with the full song and poem, "Breath deep, the gathering gloom..."

Great selection and reaction. 😊😊❤❤

Tuesday Afternoon was also a hit song. It's from the same album, which was a masterpiece/landmark album (Days of Future Passed)

I think I was in sixth grade when this came out. In my opinion, this is still one of the most beautiful songs ever written and still can hold its own today. Thank you for the reaction ❤

The vocals and instrumental sound bring you to some mental picture or place of yearning. I was lucky to grow up in a era where music was like this!

Hello Bisscute. I see with pleasant surprise that you reacted to other old acquaintances, none other than Moody Blus. I love every time you make a reaction to these old bands, because when they were at their peak, obviously there was no internet, there was no social networks, there was no YouTobe, etc., that is, they did not have the opportunity to spread their music more massively, their art and their talent, as happens today, that is why I am especially happy when someone as young and sensitive as you, appreciates and spreads what these great bands and artists did to the current generations. The one you chose to react to Moody Blues is an excellent song: Nights in White Satinde, from 1967, if I'm not mistaken, it already has its yesterdays, but it does not lose its validity, it continues to tell us many things and continues to move us, as you yourself experienced. I recommend other songs from them such as: The story in your eyes, Ride my see-saw, Tuesday afernoon, among others. Greetings and a hug from Mexico City.

This song takes me back to '71-'72, sitting in a pizza shop with my best friend having pizza and beer on a Sunday evening with Nights in White Satin playing on the jukebox.

Every time I hear this song I still get goosebumps and I remember when it came out and his voice is just keeps getting better with age. I really love the extended version of this song.

I've seen the Moody Blues in concert three times. The first in the mid 80's, the last in 1996. Each time with a full backing orchestra and always amazing.

A beautiful song especially this version Tuesday Afternoon is another great song by them. Justin's voice has stayed strong through the many years it's amazing really. Great reaction enjoyed it thank you.

😂 ... up to the point ... You asked the ❓ does his voice still as great ❓ I felt like I was listening to the original video ‼️ Thanks for the Entertainment 🙃

I enjoyed your reaction and comments to this song. I'm happy that you liked it so much. Moody Blues released a lot of great tunes in their career, most of which I believe you would enjoy. This song was featured on their 1967 album, Days of Future Past, with the help of The London Festival Orchestra. It is one of the earliest true concept albums with the first tune being 'The Day Begins' and the final track being 'The Night' (aka, Nights in White Satin). It's a phenomenal album that I've enjoyed for nearly 50 years. It's a great album that deserves a listen whenever you have time to sit back and relax. Cheers!

This song was on the album "Days of Future Past" released in 1967. The studio album version of this song has a spoken word poem at the end called " Late Lament" For me the song isn't complete unless you listen to the studio version with the poem read aloud at the end.

Hello Bisscute. Great song choice nights in white satin The moody blues

Year after year, decades after decades and the beauty remains intact, indeed it improves.

Bisscute is a old soul she will love all the music in the time period!

Other Moody Blues songs “The Story In Your Eyes” and “I’m Just A Singer (In A Rock and Roll Band)” are two of my favourites. Justin Haywards Voice has aged remarkably well, but it was even better in his prime.

This was the first concert I went to when I was a kid, one of my parents favorite bands, i remembering coming away thinking they had an amazing amount of talent. Also the first time I got a contact high

Ray Thomas was (R.I.P.) the flutist in the Moody Blues… Fun reaction and review 👊🏻

Great song! Another great Moody Blues song is 'Tuesday Afternoon! For flute, try Jethro Tull - Locomotive Breath

It recharges the heart. I think it may be like the beauty of a magical walk in a garden at night.

This is a beautiful song. Incredible, especially considering how young he was when he wrote it. Talking about the flute, made me think of the song "Hocus Pocus" by Focus. Wild song. Everyone who does a reaction to it, has a great time. Such a _UNIQUE_ song.

This is a beautiful song from my teens and this is a great version of it. There is a really long version with poetry in it. Great reaction Lady Biss, you were looking as beautiful as the song and your hair was so stunning.

I discovered this song 2 years ago, I love it so much

An incredible band, augmented by a full Symphony Orchestra in one of the best songs ever. This song was the climax of the classic, concept album, Days of Futures Past. They had a full orchestra on that ground breaking album in 1967 and was the first of 7 albums in a row from 1967 - 1972 that is one of the great runs in the Rock Era. Like Prog Rock to come, their albums were composed to be heard in their entirety, even if a bunch of individual songs, they flowed together and each album is an incredible music statement, up there with the best bands of the era. When we tripped back in the 70s, we always had Pink Floyd and King Crimson on at some point but we also had the Moody Blues in frequent rotation. Try Legend of a Mind next, their ode to LSD guru Timothy Leary. Great stuff, they will freak you out at how great they were if given a chance. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎤🎸🎶

Great reaction Biss, just wanted to let you know, this live performance is exactly like the studio version, voice, instruments, including the flute and the orchestra. All exactly the same and I grew up listening to this, it was such a huge hit. Thanks for this, 💖💖

Hi cutie from Sheffield Yorkshire yes this is 1 of those songs that touches your soul it gets me every time mskes me cry every time❤❤

Age or prime don't matter... You felt it!!!! ;)

The instrument that always gets me is the violin, and a full piano. Maybe it is my love of classical music, and that I used to play the violin, and wish that I had never stopped, but that type of sounds always goes right to my soul. Great song and thank you for the review!

Lots to check with the art-rock group, Moody Blues. Charted records for over 20 years. The last original member, Mike Pinder, passed away a few days ago. Justin Hayward and John Lodge joined a short time after the band was formed. Ray Thomas was the flutist. On the original album there was a poem read (Late Lament) near the end of the song. In this video the orchestra played the ending without the poem. The song's final note on the album was struck with a gong! pretty cool. 😎

I call it 💯 talent. ❤️🇮🇹

this album is a must to be listened to end to end. it is their first of 7 concept albums in a row. they have 16 total studio albums. any of the 8 or so solo albums by the singer will give you a good idea of how his voice was one of the most recognizable male voices back ion the day

I've seen them live in Toledo and Columbus Ohio and both with a symphony orchestras. They were amazing both times

One thing missing from the studio version is the poem spoken at the end "Late Lament Breathe deep the gathering gloom, Watch lights fade from every room. Bedsitter people look back and lament, Another day’s useless energy spent. Impassioned lovers wrestle as one, Lonely man cries for love and has none. New mother picks up and suckles her son, Senior citizens wish they were young. Cold hearted orb that rules the night, Removes the colours from our sight. Red is grey and yellow white. But we decide which is right. And which is an illusion?"

You were a faery in another life. The lightness of the flute calls to you.

Beautiful Biss. The song was epic too 😘

This is from the album "Days of Future Passed", and is meant to be played from beginning to end. It's a progression of a day's time from beginning to the end of the day. It has some beautiful songs in it.

One of my all time favorites! IMO, the best version of this is still their original studio recording.

When I was 4 years old and my sisters were 12 and 14 years old I remembered the look in their eyes when this song would play and so I bought live concert tickets for myself and my sister who could go (the older one) for this band. It was worth it. She was so happy to see them live.

seen them live many times. greatness.

I love the way that you react to the songs. You're so cute and emotional.

You should definitely check out the studio version as well

I was 15 years old in 1967 and still remember the words to this.

I've read through a lot of the other comments and for some reason, I like songs of there that were not mentioned by other commenters. "Your Wildest Dreams" and "I Know You're Out There Somewhere" are my two favorite songs of theirs, Nights In White Satin coming in at #3. I'm glad you liked them as much as so many of us out here do as well.

A stunning performance... live.
