A young African American man raised in East L.A grooving to the Moody Blues 🥰 the world is getting better! Music unites us.

Justin Hayward. One of the greatest rock voices of all time. And the Moody's harmonies are epic.

I am a 65 year old woman, and I can tell you from experience, that is a mushroom trip in the forest...on a Tuesday Afternoon, hugging trees and loving everything...yep...the good 'ol days.

I'm a 70- year-old lady and this was "my music" as a young adult (saw them in concert, still love it). Your commentary on this masterpiece was priceless. I laughed until tears were running down my cheeks. Glad you've discovered the Moody Blues, so glad I discovered you. Cheers!...from a new subscriber.

Justin Hayward is one of the best voices in rock. VERY underrated.

Hey all you 60 ers out there, how cool was it growing up in this age?

I use to love watching Justin sing. Maybe because he had the prettiest Voice. Hard to believe it was him. Great band...

It was the '70's. Everyone was stoned. I was born in 1990 and my dad introduced me to this music. You don't need to smoke pot to appreciate good music of any genre.

DUDE!!!!! Cat Stephen's ""Peace Train". Another good message for the world today. .

Dark room, headphones on, eyes closed is the best way to listen to this.

Now tell me , what was the greatest era for music? Led Zeppelin to Moody Blues ,Pink Floyd, Yes, and a hundred more in between with all genre's of music ( I could name a load more super groups) What a time to grow up in.

I am 67 yrs old and in my honest opinion The Moody Blues are undeniably and unquestionably the best group ever to have made music to this standard. I have all their album's and listen to them regularly.

The moody blues are so underrated

In the 1990s, the Moody Blues toured the nation and performed with each city's symphony orchestra. Talk about a majestic experience

This type of music is what happens when 5 brilliant musicians get together to create music that touches the soul.

The Moody Blues were just so damned good. The best, most creative music came out of the late '60s.

The expression on your face is PRICELESS!! Thank you sooooo much!!!!

High as hell here. You, me, Moody Blues, coffee and my bong. It's a FANTASTIC Tuesday in my world! How about the rest of y'all!?!?

Enveloped by such rich glorious warmth....❤

Been listening to the Moody Blues from birth. My dad would come home from work (even when I was a newborn, according to my mom), turn down the lights, put on a record (you know, the old 12" vinyl LP), lay down on the floor, and just let the music take him away. It's honestly one of my first solid memories, and it's been reinforced every single night for the first decade of my life. Here's the thing: From Days of Future Passed through The Seventh Sojourn - about seven albums - each album has to be listened to from start to finish. Put on a record, turn out the lights, relax, and listen to the whole damn thing. Then move to the next one at a later date. My dad wasn't high when he was listening to these, and neither was I. That said, it's well understood that the band was floating through the 60's and 70's - at least until their break in 1974. From my experience, you don't need to be high to listen to these guys. If you just relax, close your eyes, and go wherever the music takes you, you'll be levitating by the time it's done. Stop listening to just single songs from those albums. They were never intended to be singles. The best way to experience them is to listen to the entire album.

DUDE!!!!!! Moody Blues " Story in your Eyes". Good message for the world today.

For me the Blues are up there with bands like Queen, The Doors, The Beatles & The Stones

In his prime Justin Heywords voice untouched by anyone!

The Moody Blues have created thier own sound and compositions you will not hear any artist talented enough to copy or cover! This is their genius and why we love them. And no, the singer is not high. It's a sound of the time, the early seventies and late sixties.

"A little high?" Jamel, this was the 60s! We were ALL a little high!

Seven classic albums in five years, birth of prog rock here.

Jusptin's Hayward's vocal on this just may be the best rock vocal ever.

Man, I rember when. 65 now and still am moved by this music. Damn right we were high and enjoying life!!!

I’ve been listening to the Moody Blues for over 50 years, here’s a few of their other songs that you might enjoy: “Question”, “The Story in Your Eyes”, & “Ride My See-Saw” As always, thanks for the smiles, memories and the shared journey.

Always remember Tuesday is the best day of the week. Why? Because it is the furthest you can get from the next Monday.

In the 1960s the Moody Blues were greatly influenced by their experiences with LSD, leading to the development of this wonderful music.

I believe the moodys not including John Lodge were sampling drugs, LSD. But their music is timeless. Orchestras play it even today.

Oh man, you need a deep dive on Donovan! Mellow Yellow, Sunshine Superman, Hurdy Gurdy Man, Season of the Witch, Wear You Love Like Heaven...

Oh! Yeah! Nothing sounds like the Moody Blues. Lots to explore.

Classic Moody Blues 🇬🇧 🖤 I'm 71 years old , greatest music

1970....way ahead of their time..

You might get there with marijuana, or you might get there with with meditation; you might get there with music like this, or it might just suddenly dawn on you out of the blue... the important thing is to get there somehow... everybody needs a little Tuesday Afternoon magic in their lives! Take a few minutes each day to gaze at a tree, or the clouds... Life is so special, and so beautiful, still, even amidst the madness...

Beautiful song. One of the greatest songs from the 1960s IMO.

The Moody Blues are one of the greatest band's out there ! They were so good to help relax me after Viet Nam ! They are good at setting up your mood, to help you calm down and take a breath ! They can make you happy or make you cry ! Song's like, The Tide Rushes In , Watching and Waiting ! You can get very emotional listening to !

I believe Jamel is impressed with the complexity and the lyrical beauty of this song. If he only knew how deep the Moodie's music goes!

Listening to the Moody Blues is like walking through all the stages of one's life. Their music encapsulates the variety of human emotions which is why, unfortunately, many people don't find them overly appealing. There is also their eerie, uncanny sound. It makes you ruminate your existence in a way which only great music can do.

Finally you found this masterpiece. There is nothing like this band anywhere. The are so unique. I love this song.

Just A LOT high. The singer Justin Hayward said he was constantly high till about 1985. At 73 he still lights up.

I'm still listening at 70.

As a HUGE Moody Blues fan of over 50 years, I will tell you much of them if you'd like to know. "Tuesday Afternoon" is part of the concept album, "Days of Future Passed" (1967). The album was the first of its kind to fuse rock and classical music together. Unbeknownst to the record label, Decca, the way it recorded, the 5 members of Moodies, along with producer Tony Clarke, hired several studio musicians (credited on the record as 'The London Festival Orchestra'). This album was one of the first true stereo one. Jamal, you asked if they were high? The Moody Blues released FOUR studio albums in barely over 24 months between Nov 1967- Nov 1969, all of which were concept albums. The Moodies have many, many songs that are hits, per se. Most of which were written by Justin Hayward. Nights in White Satin, Voices in the Sky, The Actor, Lovely to See You, Are You Sitting Comfortably?, Never Comes the Day, Gypsy, Watching and Waiting, Question, The Story in Your Eyes, The Land of Make-Believe, Driftwood, The Voice, Blue World, Your Wildest Dreams, I Know You're Out There Somewhere, Say It With Love, and one of my favorite songs, Forever Autumn (a non-Moodies song). And those are only songs by Justin Hayward! Now, if you'd like to add songs by the other 4 Moody Blues band members (3 of which also sang lead vocals on their songs). You can tell now how much I love this group!! 💙💙💙💙💙

I can't begin to explain what memories this invokes. (I'm weeping inside for my lost youth.)

Singer in a Rock and Roll band. There's power in that one.

Well, I’m in my 60’s now and listened to this in the 70’s. Days of future past indeed. I never get tired of it.

"All of this is going down on a Tuesday?!" Yes, sir...it sure is.

Days of Future Passed was one of the earliest concept albums in rock. Each song is part of the day. The most famous is the Night in Nights in White Satin.

This *Moody Blues track,* "Tuesday Afternoon", makes Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody seem like a very simple song.

It's a trilogy. Tuesday, evening, nights in white satin. They blend into each other.

The second half of this is a whole other song, BTW, called "Time to Get Away." Further down the Moodies rabbit hole: "Ride My See-Saw" "Legend of a Mind" "The Dream"/"Have You Heard (Part 1)"/"The Voyage"/"Have You Heard (Part 2)" "Higher and Higher" "Gypsy (Of a Strange and Distant Time)" "And the Tide Rushes In" "The Story in Your Eyes" "My Song" "Isn't Life Strange" "I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock 'n' Roll Band)"

One of my friends suggest listening to this whole album outdoors, with good earbuds, at sunset. He was right.

While I can't say the Moodies were better than their contemporaries, their essence meant more to me than others. This is pretty much the beginning of prog right here.

moody blues...procol harum...jethro tull... led zeppelin.... the who.... yes.... cream..... emerson lake and palmer..... even the beatles got into the act..... these among others were treasure troves of sound, poetry and music... in fact we didn't call them "music" or "tunes". we called them "sounds".... a mystical magical era... i am happy to see new generations are rediscovering them..... as we would say back in the day...... peace

One of my favourite Moody tracks. I am listening on a Tuesday Afternoon. Justin Heywood is one of the greatest songwriters in the world.

This is one of those albums you listen to from beginning to end. A masterpiece.

No need for drugs - this music gives you all you need!

The Moody Blues were the first (along with the Beatles) to bring a symphonic element to rock ‘n roll. But make no mistake - these guys could rock the house. Check out “The Story in Your Eyes” or “I’m Just A Singer in A Rock and Roll Band.” Their song “Question” has some extreme highs and lows, making it a fascinating musical ride. And of course their classic “Nights In White Satin” is a crowning achievement. And we’ll never forget their debut hit, “Go Now.” One of the often overlooked groups of the ‘60s/‘70s, the Moody Blues belong in the top ten rock groups of all time. PS: You’d be surprised at all the great music that was written by people who were high at the time. ;-)

Oh dam it is Tuesday. Okay.

I dedicated Tuesday Afternoon to my mother who passed away on a Tuesday afternoon last year during the month of July. I was flying home from work out of town upon receiving news that she didn't have long to live and I never got the chance to say goodbye. Every time I play The Moody Blues, I think of Mum... 😥 Anyhoo, Ride My Seesaw next if you please, brother (with the video too for Ray Thomas's dance moves)... 😉

You had to be a 100 miles above the earth to appreciate The Moody Blues

The Moody Blues songs are an experience of emotions... they were/are pure genius if you ask me.

I've asked for this before, and here it is again. It's personally my favorite song of all time, and the Moodies do it. New Horizons Thank you, my brother.

Remember, this was one of the first “concept” albums and one of the first to use a full symphony. It was their first album and it tracked a typical day from dawn to night

Oh your face is pure joy. It's like looking at my grand children seeing things for the first time. Beautiful

Think of this song, when you are young. You have fallen, completely in love. This song is how the world seems. I wish I could have that feeling all life long.

You should check out "Question" by Moody Blues next. Great track. Great video as always Jamel!

Remember mate when peeps said you need to listen to Pink Floyd albums rather than songs... ahhhh so it goes with the Moody Blues. This song is from the album Days of Future Pass... which basically covers the journey of a day. This was one of the first concept albums and the use of a proper orchestra to support a band as well as heavy use of the mellotron. The Moodies became associated with concept albums such as 'A Question of Balance.' as well as being associated with art and progressive rock.

A rock band that wrote full orchestra. And yes, we're all high. I was lucky enough to see them many times, with a full orch.

It's the 60's. Time of the Hippie movement. Piece, Love, Drugs and Rock N Roll. The question is not 'are they high', but 'were they ever sober'.

Experiencing the 60’s was unbelievable. Feel sorry for those that came afterwards.

A little high?? The trees are talking to him, explaining it all with a sigh.

The Moody Blues did not do drugs that's why they were able to perform for so many years until hey members passed away.

There was, around the time of this album, a pink '55 Buick. About 9 months later, a baby was born. His middle name is Justin.

When my parents saw them live back in the early 90's, they had the whole London Symphony backing them. My dad said the only band to outshine the Moody Blues in concert was Pink Floyd.

The Question by moody blues is another good one

Moody Blues was known as "The smallest symphony orchestra around" due to the number or instruments they played.

The Moody Blues ,nothing came easy for this band . They're first hit made millions ,they went to collect the officed had closed up and gone . The masterpiece Days of Future Passed took years to be noticed . Years of being someone's open act to survive . Then after finding success they start in fighting lose one of its founding member's Mike Pender . There's a documentary about this group, search for if you want to see a good rags to riches story .

It's called psychedelic music. Check out 'Diary of A Mind' by The Moody Blues. The stereo effect of it is amazing.

Justin Hayward...brilliant writer singer. From Nights in White Satin to Question to this .....but my favorite Album of theirs is Seventh Soujorn....For My Lady, Lost in a Lost world, New Horizon all great Songs Also try The Story in Your Eyes a real Rocker and Ride my Seesaw also a straight rocker. They can play anything

Were we high? Yes. But we were floating along...riding on the music. This band was the best at taking you on a journey.

The 60s and 70s were transformative for a while until hope began to die.

He said "all this going down on a Tuesday?" 😆

Since it's autumn I'd recommend "Forever Autumn," it was a part of The War of the Worlds soundtrack.

Justin Hayward said he was living comfortably off of music and so it enabled him to have Tuesday afternoons off when most people were working. So, he'd have the woods to himself to smoke some hash and yes, the trees do draw you in when you're cosmically spaced off of your gourd.

Moody Blues - Just a Singer in a Rock and Roll Band.

This song kicks ass.

Mike Pinder and the mellotron - honey for the ears!

You had to be there to understand. Music of the 60s / 70s was far more complex than today's tick tick tick simple music.It was far beyond the drugs.

If these old time musician's didn't get high. You wouldn't have all these great albums and songs to listen to. Wouldn't life be depressing without drugs.

This is music as art. Like Pink Floyd's _Dark Side of the Moon_ and The Beatles' _Sgt Pepper's, Days of Future Passed_ deserves to be heard from start to finish.

Jamel!! It’s a Rainy, gloomy day in NY! Thanks for Lifting spirits up! “Shout out to the long version”!! 😂🙌✊

This band and Procol Harum according to some historians were pioneers on what we call today Progressive Rock..

These songs are from the B Side of Days of Future Passed. Some years ago, I had the good fortune of regularly performing the entire B side with a magical three piece band with an extremely talented bass player and guitarist. I'll always be grateful for the experience. I still love listening to it and it still brings me to the verge of tears.

Thank you thank you thank you this is one of my favorite songs by them I think you're going to love it

You need to check out a song by The Moody Blues called The Voice. This is one highly talented group.

Please study this whole album. Not just on the channel, but in your "off time" as well. I use this album as a music theory tool, and as an English/Poetry appreciation tool, for my daughter's lessons. She's 15 and loves this entire album. During my study of this album I have found 4 ways of viewing the story line: A day in a life. A life in a day. The life of a love. The love of a life. The entire piece is one continuous circle, where the opening sound is the closing sound, but backwards. Fading into existence where it faded out. I have been studying this album since 1990, and diacussing it with my daughter for a few uears now. Reliving the discoveries I've made over the years through her joy if discovering something new about the album. Enjoy the ride.
