live appearance at the Jimmy Fallon Late Night Show in 2011-10-13 to promote the new compliation CD and the next US tour. They play live Your Wildest Dreams (very good quality!)
I grew up in the 60s and 70s and it was an era of the greatest songs ever recorded and so many have gone by and we've forgotten how good they are. This is one of those songs. Now I can't stop listening to it again.
He's changed (compared to my youth in the 60's), his voice has roughened, their music is different, the line up is reconfigured, but are they STILL great? Yes!!! Every time I've seen them has been a gift. As long as Justin and John front them and Mr. Edge is setting the rhythm, they remain the Moody EFFIN Blues. We thank you. Isn't life strange? Isn't life wonderful.
Having the Moody Blues on his show may have been the best thing ever that Jimmy Fallon has done! No shade or disrespect to Jimmy as he’s a decent comedian and amazing musician, but OMG!THE MOODY BLUES!!
There's just something about this song, the harmony I think....it's just so soothing. Like I want to fall asleep listening to this. Not saying it's boring or something, it just makes me feel like I can relax, because everything will be all right, lol.
I always remember my cousins who left the family whenever I hear this song. Do they even remember me or wonder how I'm getting along? I play this song on my organ 🎹 and my viola 🎻 now by ear.
Absolutely great band!! I loved them in late sixties and seventies. Their albums were orchestral works of art! Justin Hayward and John Lodge. Thanks for the music guys!
What a shame this only has 24K views...one of the greatest and most influential rock bands to EVER come along. And yet (C)rappers get 10s of millions views for non-melodic jungle chants, set to a primitive beat. Shows just how far down the (C)rapper the music industry promoters have dragged popular music in the last number of years.
This song reminds me of my first love in high school, we graduated i went into military, she continued her education, my biggest regret is not telling her how much she meant to me, the only one i didn't pursue in bed
CRAPPY MUSIC! THIS 80S SONG MAKES ME UNHAPPHY! HOW ABOUT THE SONG TUESDAY AFTERNOON BY THE SAME BAND INSTEAD FROM THEIR CORE 7 PERIOD WITH MIKE PINDER! NOW THAT IS GREAT MUSIC THAT ME HAPPY!
Me encanta esa cancion,el romance entre una chica y un musico y la envidia y celos de sus compaňeros hacia ellos....pero el amor gano juntos por fin en el segundo video que hicieron ambos me encanta
It's a great quality video of an outstanding performance. It catches them at a good time in their illustrious career... I mean... how long did Graeme and Norda and Julie perform together?
Does any one of the "Drummer Aficionados" watching this clip, know who is the back-up drummer to Graeme Edge? I believe, just from a far glimpse, since the cameras were not on him much, that was MICKEY CURRY, who was with Hall & Oates from the late 70s to mid 80's & did much studio work with Bryan Adams; am I correct on that? BTW way, there was a couple other commentators here on the thread who had some VERY NASTY words to say why Graeme needed a back-up drummer in the first place. It goes back to the NASTY televised court case when Haywood, Lodge & Edge felt that they needed to dismiss Patrick Moraz (keyboardist) from the Moody Blues in the early 90's, because, as Haywood simply put it, "He was no longer sounding good!" (verbatim) The defense argued, if that's the case then why does Mr. Edge need a 2nd drummer on stage with him during concerts; perhaps HE is no longer "sounding good" as well? When Edge took the witness stand, he testified that in the late 80s, during their "The Other Side of Life" & "Sur la Mer" album releases, they were experimenting with alot of different kinds of electronic percussion, in addition to his traditional acoustic drum kit and if they were to stay true to those "newer" types of sounds in their concerts & tours, then they would NEED a 2nd drummer and/or percussionist on stage, so he (Edge) could focus on playing his acoustic set & the 2nd drummer/percussionist could handle electronic percussion samples, as well as even a 2nd set of acoustic drums, if needed. BTW, the three key members of The Moody Blues won that legal case, but still needed to pay Moraz a somewhat minimal departing severance package. And that was that! Since then, Edge had ALWAYS welcomed a 2nd drummer/percussionist on stage with him. HEY, if you're the drummer of one of THEE MOST popular rock bands of all time, then quite bluntly, if YOU want a 2nd drummer to back you up, then there shouldn't be ANY rebuttal on that. How many guitar players did the Eagles had, have & recruited after the loss of Frey...I loose count. No one brings up the issue why .38 Special & of all bands, The Doobie Brothers, ALWAYS had dual drummers? And what about Phil Collins in concert as a solo artist? He ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS had accomplished drummer Chester Thompson by his side on his own MASSIVE drum kit. While Phil was really good with his signature "time switching" skills & juicy, fancy backward-flip drum rolls, Thompson was there keeping PERFECT METER on his drums, while playing them like he was jack hammering cement sidewalks & sledgehammering brick walls! Enough said... Rest In Peace, Mr. Graeme Edge; Mister #1 Drummer! ...BolsaChicaRadio ============== PS: (Here I go again...I'm just on a friggin' roll here. Another commentator also said, "Graeme Edge wasn't really playing drums. You can tell. He's wayyyyyyy behind." NOT TRUE. That may appeared to be so, but not the case; Graeme was playing 1/4 notes on the hi-hats, where the 2nd drummer was playing 1/8 notes on his hi-hats, which "may" give an optical impression that Edge was "way behind", but that was NOT the case at all. AND YES, I played drums for many years...and I DO KNOW what I am speaking of. OK, time to go now...I talked enough! Oh yeah...one last thing...my original question; was that MICKEY CURRY along with Graeme, or not? Goodbye. Oh yes...try to have a "nice" day, too!
Second drummer was Gordon "Gordy" Marshall. My understanding was that he was brought on board back in the early 1990s to back up Graeme while he was healing from a shoulder injury. I would guess that Gordy worked out so well, they kept him on for more than 20 years. Gordy left in 2015 to pursue other ventures, and he was replaced by Billy Ashbaugh. Billy played until the band stopped touring in 2018.
@@CrankyBeach Thank you SO much C.B., for bringing forth this great "PERCUSSIVE" information to answer my question! I really thought it was Mickey Curry at Graeme's side, but indeed because of your thorough detail, it was GORDY MARSHALL...a dang great sounding drummer!!! As I was once a drummer, it would have been an COMPLETE HONOR to take 2nd seat to the great/late Graeme Edge. Who knows? Maybe someday when I get to heaven, I'll be the 2nd drummer for Ringo, in "Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band"! (Oh, by the way, to that nay-sayer in this thread, saying that Graeme SHOULDN'T HAVE a 2nd drummer...I guess he could start that silly argument with Starr now?) BCRadio
That was an interesting read...thanks for taking the time composing it. I've always been fascinated with drummers...watching them play...they are the ones having the physical part of playing. I play acoustic guitar & mandolin...have a lifelong friend who plays drums/ percussion. He sometimes plays with me on gigs...he constructed a "kit" consisting of a wooden chicken coop for kick drum...and cymbals...a cooking pot...a mailbox attached to chicken coop..and has other stuff too. He's a treat to watch him play...I play jugband...Doc Watson..John Prine...Grateful Dead...and bluegrass. Playing music is all about having fun...knew I'd never be "singer in a rock n roll band"...so I enjoy what I play! Cheers from Georgia USA. 👍
I love this song and Nights in White Satin. Sorry, but I’m one of those guys that only likes their hits. I will say, that their name always made me think they were a blues band not a progressive rock outfit. Anyways, great song. One of my all time favorites.
I hate when bands use a second drummer. I never like that. If you're a good enough drummer, you don't need a second drummer and this man right here happens to be one of those legends that should not be playing with another drummer
I’m a big Moody Blues fan and attended more shows than I can remember. It was pretty clear to the fans that Graeme didn’t want to work as hard. Graeme and Gordy sounded INCREDIBLE together.
CZcams is way overboard with advertisements! It was necessary to wait out an advertisement than ran in excess of 3 minutes to watch & listen to the selected video. "F" CZcams and this continues for long, then I will abandon CZcams. No bullshit.
Gareme Edge wasn't really playing drums. You can tell. He's wayyyyyyy behind. Sad when these old musicians keep touring and can't play anymore, so they have a "surrogate/back up" band on stage with them (or slightly offstage) to literally play their parts for them. See also: Fleetwood Mac since 2010.
Kriegsbeil: Please take note at exactly 3:40 - 3:44 on the video timeline here. If you watch that :04 piece MULTIPLE TIMES IN LOOP, you'll see that "drum roll down, was performed ONLY by Graeme Edge and NOT the 2nd drummer...the 2nd drummer was staying in "cross-stick mode" on the Snare & Hi-Hats the whole time...that is to say, NEVER ONCE, did he even remotely touch an upper tom drum or floor tom, in that "lick"; that was ALL Graeme Edge. Also, you mentioned, "Graeme Edge wasn't really playing drums. You can tell. He's wayyyyyyy behind." NOT TRUE. That may "appeared" to be so, but not the case; Graeme was playing 1/4 notes on the hi-hats, where the 2nd drummer was playing 1/8 notes on his hi-hats, which "may" give an optical impression that Edge was "way behind", but that was NOT the case at all. It's just plainly speaking, Graeme was playing in half-meter...and Gordon Marshal, his 2nd drummer, was playing in the song's full-meter, for lack of a better & more technical explanation. Forgive me if it sounds like I am trying to reply to you in a "nasty" way, I am not, but rather, point out the consistencies. BCRadio
My husband (then boyfriend) introduced me to the Moody Blues in 1967. I was hooked. Greatest band ever.
Llpplppppl
Made the right choice in marrying the guy.
Thank you. He thinks so too!
Rose, that means 57 years of togetherness for your husband & you. So beautiful.
@@JohnDoe-pm3oq Thank you for the compliment. We will celebrate our fifty second anniversary in September.
Love it. Justin's voice hasn't changed over the years. One of my favourites. Thanks Justin. 01/24
I miss these times.
i feel the same way :/
sad to say but I believe that they are gone forever...
It was only 13 years ago.

I agree with you. But remember this song is an '80s song. It came out in 1986
true but The Moody Blues started in 1964 so this song is just another of what I grew up on from them.
No autotune or rubbing their crotchs, surprinsingly how music was done before the arriving of these new enlighted generations
Wow just a little reminder how good music used to be versus today's crap!!! The moody's define cosmic rock.
2024 Super Bowl halftime show, pure garbage.
These guys are so super talented musicians and songwriters.
Amazing band!
The brunette back up singer is stunning gorgeous...I love, love her playful dancing at the end!

Truly Calming yet Inspiring.
BEAUTIFUL Arrangements and Melody, Too!

didnt listen to them til wildest dreams came out in 86🙋♂️😎
They had an ethereal sound!
Yes absolutely.
My parents were MB fans and then I became the Fanatic of the family. I've lost count the number of MB concerts I've been to since childhood. ❤
Nearly every song they have makes me think about my younger years and how the cause me to think about all the people who I once loved.
*They are very lucky...that The Moody Blues went on the show. Absolutely amazing live*
Very underrated group they were brilliant
Still makes me ball to tears
Philosophical rock FTW. Always love the Moody Blues and Justin Hayward.
I always remember my cousins who left the family whenever I hear this song. Do they even remember me or wonder how I'm getting along? I play this song on my organ 🎹 and my viola 🎻 now by ear.
One fo the top ten bands of All Time!
That was great. Love this song. Love the Moody Blues💖💖💓
Absolutely great band!! I loved them in late sixties and seventies. Their albums were orchestral works of art! Justin Hayward and John Lodge. Thanks for the music guys!
Happiness in my heart , Moody Blues Tuesday afternoon !

Justin Hayward is just flawless and so comfortable, natural thing....
I got to see that tour in 2014. Last time I saw Graeme. Long live Moody blues
Feelin love with a man listening to album I loved listening to once, now I realize itvwas the music and not the man I loved .
Sounds like something I'd pay to see. Actually playing instruments. Wonderful. 😊
Awesome performance, as always. They get better with age, rather like a vintage wine. 💕
Timeless and beautiful, touched many hearts including mine.
Big fan for 30 years - GO Moodies - admiration & LOVE!!
Phenomenon rendition of this song! What an awesome group!

I so miss the unique voice of Ray Thomas. "My Lady" is one of my five favorites.
SAW THE GROUP / ROCHESTER NY=DENVER = NC TWICE = RICHMOND TWICE = JUSTIN ALONE WATERLOO NY JUNE 2023 / THEY MAKE YOU STAY 30 FOREVER
It's a great quality video of an outstanding performance. It catches them at a good time in their illustrious career... I mean... how long did Graeme and Norda and Julie perform together?
