You are on your way to being “the music critic” of your generation 👍brilliant ( try - 10cc I’m not in love)

Now here’s a guy that can recognize real music when he hears it! Nights in White Satin is a musical masterpiece!

Happy to see another generation enjoying the music I grew up with

Don't worry folks....the future of music is safe as long as this dude is around. Bravo!

Your facial expressions as you experience the masterpiece of The Moody Blues is priceless!!!!❤❤❤❤

When I watch young people watch music like this I realize how fortunate I was to be born in 1960 and to have grown up during the 60's and 70's. By the time I was 18, I'd heard some of the best music ever written simply by turning on my radio. I actually can't remember the first time I heard Nights in White Satin and so its imbedded in my soul as something that has always existed, much like songs like Stairway to Heaven and so much more. How lucky my generation was. And at the time, we took it all for granted.

One of the great rock songs ever written. We were stunned by its beauty when it first came out. There is a part missing from this version, so you need to listen to the studio version to hear the whole thing.

This is one of those songs where even when you try, you can't imagine it being any other way ... no other possible melody, no other possible arrangement, no other possible instrumentals ... it's just as perfect as a song can get.

Congratulations.. You have discovered the magic of the Moody Blues. Unlike anything before or after.

I buried my brother today... And tonight you brought this song back to me. I can't stop crying, but I have to thank you JB. "Because I love you!!!" Such a primal scream. 💕

Best reaction of all the young folks listening to this masterpiece. You have a musical soul. Love this.

It is lovely to see your reaction to one of the most beautiful songs ever. Thank you James.

You are right. Doesn’t get better than this. Hauntingly beautiful.

I think I've heard this almost every day since it first came out and it still gives me chills every time I hear it! You said it, this is real music! FABULOUS reaction!

A hauntingly beautiful song. 😍

The Moody Blues live up to their name thru all their music taking you along for the ride in an emotional roller coaster of the highs and lows of their musical journey!

BRAVO! BRAVO! Awesome finale! You're not kidding, "This is real music."

I've listened to this song countless times over the years, and I still get choked up every time.

This song is one of the best ever made in history, as it brought back great memories from my childhood. Thank You for sharing your thoughts and reaction to this beautiful musical masterpiece by the Moody Blues. XO

I love this band so much. Your reaction made me cry. This is what music is really about.

This guy has some of the deepest and most sincere reactions I've ever seen on here. Absolutely love it.

My girlfriend gave me the album as a gift when it came out, and I did not know who they were, so I did not play the album. 3 Years later, I finally opened that album and listened to it. I was completely blown away, and have been a Moody since 1972. Their music comforted me during my time in the service and Vietnam. Yeah, they are great! Hope you listen to the full version on the album. You will not be disappointed.

That look on your face is priceless. It's so great to see young people like you enjoying the music we grew up on. I can tell you are in awe of this music

I love your reaction to this song, the look of joy and anticipation on your face was just beautiful.

Moody Blues were considered psychedelic rock back in my day. Justin Hayward's voice has more power with age and this sounds even better than their first release in 1967. Sadly the flutist Ray Thomas passed away in 2018 at the age of 76 and Co Founder and Drummer Graeme Edge passed away in 2021 at the age of 80. lead singer Justin Hayward is 75. Great reaction as always...

Moody Blues - have every album- Amazing Artists 🦅🔥🦅🔥🦅🔥

So glad you chose this version. Well done. RIP Ray Thomas and Graeme Edge.

Your facial expressions are priceless! Think we all get the goosebumps and tears at the same time.

It’s such a pleasure watching you discover the music I’ve loved all my life. Your reactions are priceless. You make me remember when I first heard this… and how I fell hopelessly in love with it that day.🐝🤗❤️

Best reaction ever! I’ve seen them in concert. Best concert ever!

Listen to the extended studio version. There's a poetry section (starts out "Breathe deep the gathering gloom..."), and then there's a little something extra added to the big finish. On KZfaq this version is called "The Night".

This whole album is amazing! The Moody Blues tells some very interesting stories with some amazing music! I've loved them for half a century now lol. Try "The Story in Your Eyes" (full version! There's some powerful poetry in the prologue!)

You Have now discovered one of the greatest most iconic rock bands playing an Iconic song. I grew up with this music, i feel so blessed.

One of the most beautiful songs ever written!!!🎶🎼🎵💜💜💜

Thank you for loving my favorite music, the Moody Blues!

Great Reaction......and GREAT Recognition of Great Music. They've been performing this song for 50 years and it STILL Brings Chills. Rock and Roll HOF band performs with class and as you saw, appreciated by classy people like yourself.

You just have to listen to "Question", "I Know You're Out There Somewhere", and "The Other Side of Life". Actually, you really can't go wrong with any Moody Blues song.

No words can describe the beauty of this song. I'm so glad to have been on this earth when it first came out.

This was a hit in '67 and again in the early 70's. A rare feat.

The singer wrote this to a girl in high school. Never sent it but eventually married her and still is .

Your face listening to this is an absolute picture 😍 It’s a truly beautiful song! ❤️🥰

It is so wonderful to see you smile. Whatever you are doing for yourself KEEP IT UP!

I saw them twice in concert...just as awesome as recording. Great orchestration and special effects. Still one of my favorite groups. 🥰

My introduction to them was when my sister gave me their album Seventh Sojourn for a birthday gift. I had the pleasure of attending one of their concerts when I was stationed in Hawaii in 1974. The concert hall had great acoustics and that flute sounded great from anywhere in the place. At the end of the first song they did the flute player suddenly noticed that there were people up behind the stage in the balcony. For the rest of the concert he faced that balcony which is were me and my date were seated. That poetry really gets to me now when he says "senior citizens wish they where young"'. I am mow 70. They had some great albums, Seventh Sojourn, Days of Future Past, To Our Children's Children's Children, Every Good Boy Deserves Favor.

Such a beautiful melody and played SO WELL....lucky to see them a couple times....one time front row. Blew me away! Can't wait until the ending part with the orchestral really kicks in!

This is one of the most hauntingly beautiful, emotional invoking songs of all times. It’s a true masterpiece and a classic that never grows old.

When I saw the start of the video, I noticed this was a live version, not the studio cut and I thought it might not be so good, but MAN, they brought their A-game!!! And the sound is phenomenal on the headphones I am listening on. The bass is really driving and melodic - perfect. I am not surprised how moved you were.

JB.... This was played at my birth. Moody Blues is goosebumps and tears... It harmonizes w/ your emotions... Don't shy away... There's a whole world of such beautiful artistry. But few as heart touching as Moody Blues.

Your reaction says it all! Weren’t we privileged back then to all this glorious music 1st hand❤

What a beautiful reaction from someone who obviously feels the soul and meaning. I adore this song, I'm glad you enjoyed.❤

I loved watching your reaction. Your face was filled with wonder! The Moody Blues are a classic rock band. My favorite song by them is "The Story In Your Eyes" ✌️🎶

Yours is my favorite reaction to this song. I cried when I heard them in concert and still get misty eyed when I hear it. Ahhh 🎉. I sooths my heart

I first heard this song with my aunt when I was about 5. And I immediately fell in love with the song. I first saw them in concert when I was 30. Just like you said, tears ran down my face at hearing them live. It was just so beautiful how the song went. I'm so glad you heard this song JB. Awesome!!!

"Real music"? After 54 years I'm still listening.

Powerful performance. Loved the orchestra!

I am seriously addicted to this song, hardcore. My late husband took me to see them on Mud Island in Memphis, small venue, very intimate and so nice and beautiful. It was a midsummer night I will never forget as long as I live.

Great song! This was very popular when I was in England many years ago! Afterwards it got very popular in the USA! Thank you, James! Take care. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

J, your little intake of breath just a few seconds in said it all. The flute, the wails, the gorgeous crescendos...interspersed with those soft instrumental interludes that can lull you to sleep. It's one of the most beautiful mixes of rock and orchestra ever.

This song was written forty years ago and it’s one of the most awesome songs ever written

Justin Hayward, the vocalist and writer of this song, is still touring. His voice is still amazing!

Other great Moody Blues songs include, "Question", "The Story In Your Eyes", "The Voice", "Your Wildest Dreams" and others.

The smile that broke out on your face when the singing started is everything to me

I’m so excited to watch your station. Your wonder and amazement is infectious. Peace my friend.

I have loved the moody blues since I was 17 and still love them today at 65.

I so appreciate your reaction. You’re just lost in the moment. It feels so genuine. Hauntingly beautiful is the only way to describe this song. It was originally recorded in the late 60’s. Imagine that. No doubt, it ages well. So beautiful

Loved your reaction to this amazing band. I had the same reaction when first hearing them also, and have loved their music ever since. Legendary.

Excellent reaction. "This is real music" hits the nail on the head.

Welcome to the music from my youth. I'm so glad that you're enjoying it - and there's so much more great music from the 1960s and 70s to discover

If you should decide to listen to their whole albums you will discover that they were perhaps the first rock band to use orchestral arrangements and spoken poetry in their music and sound. Their debut album in 1967 (this tune is on it), "Days of Future Passed" is legendary and meant to be listened to as a whole concept album experience about a single day from morning until night.

I saw them live back in 1980 or so. Still gives me Goosebumps. Still get the tears too

Every time I listen to this song it warms and soothes my soul . Thank you JB Cheers brother 🍻

Some songs are just so special that they just rise to the top. This is one of them.

I think I love your reaction to this more than any I've ever seen to any piece...... You get it! You belong to the beauty.....

I love your reaction...you're like a sweet child in awe of this magical song. 💖

JAMES! You are the perfect person to react to this song! Your musical and emotional sensibilities are so refined and attuned to fully register the depth of this great music. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you!

You happen to have chosen my favorite song of all time. 💜💜💜💜💜

Beautiful yes? "Just what you want to be, you will be in the end." I lift up my arms and visualize sending waves of love accross the world with the chorus and when I need it I imagine the waves coming back to me. Lately I've needed it. Love never dies. 🎵☮️💜🤘

I enjoyed seeing your reaction. I love this song and listened to it and other Moody Blues music on vinyl back in my late high school and on into my college days. Thank you for sharing a moment with us!

❤ Love your reaction, I grew up listening to him in my childhood and now in my twilight still loving it, thank you for your review, subscribed.... This was the last performance by the entire group before the deaths of Drummer Graeme Charles Edge (11 November 2021), and Flutist and songwriter Ray Thomas (4 January 2018) Lead Singer and writer and guitarist Justin Hayward declared the band "over" after the death of the drummer. Justin Hayward continues to this day to bring new and past material to Audience with competent musicians. The Moody Blues legend Justin Hayward was awarded an OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) for his longstanding contribution to the arts by King Charles III at the July 11, 2023 Investitures ceremony at Windsor Castle. Ie: I've had a friend that lived in Swindon, where Justin grew up in, he has refused to admit to a relationship there, well someone in particular but he wrote Nights In White Satin after receiving Satin Sheets by a lover at 19 years old and by the late 80s when he tried to return and wrote the song, "In Your Wildest Dreams, 1986", (production told him your too old but he insisted to star himself in the video)... admits you can never return home,.. Things change, people do too, and so time stands in defiance of... us ❤️ this was quite a change and a testimony to time vs.. US.

JB I'm glad to have found your channel 2 years ago. Your appreciation, your reactions are wonderful to see. You seem a kind and decent human being. The 1st reaction i saw was your Pavarotti Nessun Dorma, that one really effected me. I have shared that reaction with many friends and they were as moved as I was. Thanks for your channel.

Found your channel yesterday and can't quit watching. Loved your reaction to this song. I am 65 and I get the same reaction every time I hear this song. Also subscribed today can't wait to watch all your video's.

Showing off how GORGEOUS the blending of rock and symphonic music. They are the pioneers.

Whoo, the memories, love, this song, Its such a vibe...Glass of bourbon or wine, bean bag chair, candles and headphones...Was always great for those 70s mid-summer night drives too...Thanx for great reaction, Peace

Thank you for sharing yourself with me. Marvelous indeed.

I love your reaction to this song, the look of joy and anticipation on you face was fantastic. Another classic that you need to react to is A Whiter Shade of Pale by Procol Harum, also brilliant.

Such a beautiful song..it gives me chills too. 💜

I'm so humbled & grateful that I grew up during the very best generation of music! I'm so very happy to see your generation is finally discovering and enjoying it.

At the end here the drummer recites a poem while the orchestra provides back ground music that even at 19 years old I found thought provoking: " Breath deep the gathering gloom, watch lights fade from every room. Bedsitter people sit back and lament, another days useless energy spent. Impassioned lovers wrestle as one, lonely man cry out for love but 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 colors from our sight, red is gray and yellow white, bur WE decide which is right, and which is an illusion." That was powerful stuff back in 1968! A lot of hits came off of that album!

This band is one of the finest bands to ever record. Justin Hayward,the singer,is one of the most stunning voices ever. This was originally done in 1967 and he sounds every bit as great as he did then. I only wish they had done the ending poem.

Definitely one of the most beautiful songs and albums ever written! Whole album is a wonderful journey!

We were totally spoiled with bands like this. I’ve seen them in concert tower theater upper Darby Pennsylvania. Truly lucky to see moody blues 😊

I used to play Moody Blues quite often on my days off. The first day was always cleaning and stripping the beds. Me and the kids would be singing on the top of our lungs as we cruised through the house, often stopping to perform air guitar or flute! Haha! That was many years ago. Great to see you react to them. It warms my heart that they had such an impact upon you.

My uncle turned me on to The Moody Blues a little over 20 years ago. Even to this day, when this song plays and Justin and the guys harmonize, I get chills. This song is hauntingly beautiful. Great reaction.

Moody Blues was of my teen years . Such an amazing talent. Justin Haywards vocals emit goosebumps .. especially this song. Late 60 and the 70s were the era of music that was stellar. Mind boggling stuff. I am stuck in this era to this day.( 63 yrs old music lover)

"Breathe deep the gathering gloom..." Back in the early 1970s I would burrow deep under the bed covers late at night, holding my mono radio very close to my ear so as not to wake my younger brother or anyone else in the house, and wait for the local rock station to play this song, wondering how any piece of music could be so magical and mysterious. You really do need to hear the complete studio version, with the poetic reading at the end, which starts with the line in quotations above. But more importantly, please don't ever lose the honesty and wonder of your reactions, JB...to both music and life.

I've been to 4 Moody Blues concerts. But the best was when they were accompanied by a full orchestra. Even the 95 degree heat couldn't spoil it. Try reviewing their concert at Red Rocks in Colorado.

Just fabulous and dreamy...cause I love you..💋

Man, great reaction. It’s a blessing to hear beauty and recognize it, and feel it in your soul. Thank you for sharing your feelings.

This was our wedding song in 1975‼🦋🎼🎼🎵🎶🎶

James, such a Beautiful smile, kind ❤️, Love watching your Channel. You give me faith on our next generation, I'm a old lady, your reactions are like the soundtrack of my life. 50 year reunion this summer, WOW Time goes fast. How about a song from 1972...Bill Whithers...song Lean on Me
