Orleans played the Stadium Theater in Woonsocket RI on March 10th, 2018. Prior to that, we had been contacted by Don O'Dell, who's "Legends" KZfaq Channel is home to 100s of music videos from over 100 artists. Long story short, Don graciously offered his 5-man video crew to record the show. From that performance, we remixed the 24-track audio files for 8 tunes. This is the 2nd of those 8. We will be posting the remaining 6 over the next few weeks.
For more info on Orleans, including where and when we might be playing next, please visit us at www.OrleansOnli... and / orleansmusic

I LOVE THIS SONG ! I can’t stop listening over and over again, louder each time. Brings back feelings of innocence, memories. This was a good era in music. The harmony back then was perfection. I’m really emotional right now. I want to be back in that place, in that time.

I'm 75 born in 1949. Pers 3:56 onally, I feel I'm the luckiest guy to grown up in the 50s 60s and then started my family in the 70s. All that time I got to enjoy the BEST music that was sung by the most talented musicians. Here is a great example of what I'm talking about. True talent is eternal. 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

“Sherman Kelly wrote the song in 1969.While recovering from a vicious attack by a gang, he "envisioned an alternate reality, the dream of a peaceful and joyful celebration of life".Kelly wrote:” “On a trip to St. Croix in 1969, I was the first victim of a vicious St. Croix gang who eventually murdered 8 American tourists. At that time, I suffered multiple facial fractures and wounds and was left for dead. While I was recovering, I wrote "Dancin In The Moonlight" in which I envisioned an alternate reality, the dream of a peaceful and joyful celebration of life. The song became a huge hit and was recorded by many musicians worldwide. "Dancin In The Moonlight" continues to be popular to this day.” “He recorded it singing lead with his band Boffalongo, who were active from 1968 to 1971, being the band's final single.”

Well, this reminds me of Larry, and the early days of Orleans as a trio. Orleans’ version was the first I heard of this song and it rocked. But you can’t keep a good song down; Sherman Kelly got the hit via King Harvest (I love it when songwriters get paid!) and the song lives on with Orleans. RIP Larry Hoppen and Wells Kelly; long live John Hall & Lance Hoppen. Let there be music!

@sprague49 3 жыл бұрын

I love this arrangement. Lance handling the opening verse, with John taking over on the second. Then Dennis joins in on the chorus for that classic Orleans vocal blend. After the musical break, Lane's raspy tenor brings it all home on the third. I could almost see Larry, rest his soul, smiling down in approval and eager to join in on those glorious harmonies.

The harmonies are so perfect it would please every surviving member of The Eagles, Mamas and the Papas, CSN&Y and even Simon AND Garfunkel. Kudos, King Harvest !!! A great rendition of your unbelievably great song. I've always wanted to make this the closing credits song to a terrifying horror movie. The movie ends, the audience is exhausted by all the fear they watched, the screen goes black, the credits start and this wonderful song comes on in a tongue-in-cheek shift in emotions. Then again, Maybe I just watched too much Tarantino, Coen Bros, Scorcese and PT Anderson movies in my younger years.

A cover? Technically perhaps but lets drill down a bit. "Dancing in the Moonlight" was written by Sherman Kelly, brother of Orleans founding member, Wells Kelly, who was also in King Harvest. Before Harvest had their hit, the song was recorded by the band Boffalongo, of which Orlean's lead singer Larry Hoppen was a founding member. IMO Orleans has as much a claim to "Dancing in the Moonlight" as King Harvest.
