The lead singer, Justin Hayward, wrote this when he was 19 years old. This was released in 1967. This concert was in 2000. I’m 70 years old, and I love how CZcams is bringing different generations together over music❤️
Such a great song! And that’s what music does!
Have you listened to "Whiter Shade of Pale" by Procol Harum? @@MDreeezy
The music payed respect to women. Nowadays it's "whore" or "bitch" all the time. No respect.😢😊
This concert took place in the year 2000 at the Royal Albert Hall
@@elizabethrogers8306 thank you, I corrected it. I mixed it up with the Procal Harum live performance in 2006.
People went to concerts to hear the music, not to yell and jump around, ignoring the performers. There were also many great poets among the songwriters. They could beautifully express profound feelings and realizations
This is what my generation means when we say I miss real music. You understand...
Amen!!
Yes!
Yes!
You notice the audience allows the singers to actually sing; they’re not rudely screeching over the performers. So thankful I’m a Boomer 😅😅😅
I do so appreciate your comments. Audiences behaved back then. Lyrics made sense. Performers actually performed. Thank you for your comments. Bless you! I grew up in that era. Much different then. ❤
Always! Bless you💙
It isn't old school music. Its REAL MUSIC.
For your generation, you are one of the smartest person I have seen. You recognize real music when you hear it. Congrats
Just to confirm your impression, yes, you are listening to a masterpiece.
The song was written about a girl he saw many times from a distance until Justin finally got the courage to meet her. She became his lover and his wife to this day. It's a love story
"This is real music." Great observation and comment. I'm so glad I grew up listening to real music in the 60's and 70's.
Thank you! This is as pure as music could have possibly been, no auto tune no technology
When this album came out. Critics said that it was 15 years ahead of it's time. 55 years later and it's still ahead of it's time. I've seen them live twice. ✌️
Message from a 59 year old who just came across your channel with this video. You're right. This is pure. Real instruments. Real voices (no autotune). This song was released when I was 2. Trust me, this is a song that will fill and heal your soul for the rest of your life.
My understanding is that the singer wrote the song when he was around 19 about a girl he loved, but didn't approach. However, they ended up marrying later on.
I love watching the reaction that young people have to the music from the 70"s. The Moody Blues is one of the greatest all time groups. Yes, this is definitely real and pure music !!
This is a near-perfect example of how not all young ppl are vapid and stupid. Well done, young man.
Justin Hayward wrote this song just after he was dumped by the woman he thought was the love of his life. It is filled with both longing and heartache. The arrangement was brilliant and magical. Thanks for sharing your reaction.
💙💙
I feel so sorry for the generations of young people who followed us Boomers. We knew great music without “auto-tune”, whatever that even means. We were blessed to have true musicians, talented singers, songwriters, true artists. They went into their record labels studios, recorded their masterpieces and went home. The 60s and 70s truly were the Golden Age of music. I have to say I miss it.
You and I both.
I miss it too, so much, but I still play it a lot as I have a huge collection of vinyl and cds
@@kathleenhayes9320me too, we lived in the best of times for great music!👍👏👏👏🩷🌸
Back in the day audiences respected the singer.
Young man, you are a very mature, observant, smart man. This was a joy to watch your reaction to the music I grew up with. Yes, this was REAL music. Thank you for this brilliant, heartfelt reaction.
And that's how progressive rock was born. Best song from the first concept album.
Amazing, isn't it, how the first concept album was born from this one song? Like "hey, great song! Why don't we build on it by writing about an entire day?" I absolutely love that creative sparks can also end up creating history! ❤
Close your eyes and feel the music. Let it take you on a ride.
I loved this version of them so much that I played it really loud at my husband's grave.
Lets not forget the fact that these guys are all in their 70's and still rocking it. Im 65 and music from my error was just that music, not this pretend, no talent garbage today they try to pass off as music. The music from the 60-s - early 80's music rocked! 70's music was all about love and bringing people together,!! Great reaction brother!
Your interpretation of this song is correct. He lost a woman he loved and she gave him a parting gift of white satin sheets.
Yes, when he watched other people hand in hand, he knew they couldn't understand how he was feeling.
My favorite song by them is Gypsy. It is a very deep, thought provoking, soulful kind of song. It is hauntingly ethereal. It is from my favorite album by them, To Our Children's Children's Children. Please react to it! Thank you!
MDreeezy, I love it when I see young people like yourself enjoying and reacting to the music that I grew up with. Your comments were so on point and thoughtful. The Moody Blues experimented with their music and created some of the best loved songs of the 60's and 70's. Listen to their album Days of Future Past. Rock on MDreeezy!
💪🏽💪🏽💙💙
Since this came up on my feed again, do make sure you throw on some headphones and listen to this again. Any of our music from 60's-70's, the mixing, and the finished product listened to on headphones, was what it was all about back then, unless you had the cash for a top of the line stereo system with huge speakers 🎧😊
First time watching this channel. Loved this guy’s eloquent and articulate review of this song. Great song and Great review. He clearly understands music and definitely had some great ideas on what this song meant to him and what the lyrics might imply. Justly loved this guy. Great!!!
Means alot to me!! More to come💪🏽 glad you enjoyed
This song was epic in the 60's and 70's and he's probably in his 70's here and still sounds great! This is a beautiful song!
I loved your reaction. I have a feeling your musical adventure is just beginning. The music we old farts (I'm 68) can turn you on to, will change your life, and we'll be more than happy to help. And if you have played saxophone before, I Beg you - get yourself an instrument! Start putting those pennies away until you can get something nice. There are groups, like Supertramp, Gerry Rafferty, Chicago, Pink Floyd, and others that will give you plenty of inspiration. If you have played before, PLEASE don't let that experience slip away, you will Not regret it.
I will definitely pixk the sax back up!! And check out all the bands, and artists your recommended
I could kiss you for appreciating such great music and talent. And admitting todays music doesn’t hold a candle to the music of the past. Take care and hope you find many more songs that are old school. Enjoy the journey!
You may have missed this music because you're still very young ,but you can still seek this music out and enjoy like we did. This music is waiting for the young generations to seek it out. Thanks for showcasing this masterpiece Dreez.
It's a love song he wrote to his girl friend who had just bought him some WHITE SATIN SHEETS.
I think there has to be more to it than just that. I'm not sure what the reactor thought was the "double meaning", but, for me, the meaning of the song is a bit ambiguous. Key lyrics are "letters I've written, never meaning to send" and "just what I'm going through, they can't understand". It might be about a brief sexual relationship (nights in white satin) that meant so much more to one party (the singer) than the other lover, followed by the mental torment of the other lover not being interested in a deeper, longer term relationship? That would seem to fit the lyrics, more or less. Art is usually ambiguous, however!
Great reaction to the "pure" music. And Your interpretation of the song sounds right on.
They were your age when they first recorded this hit and its still a hit today amongst new generations discovering "real music".
A great pick for a song that still sounds great and shows our young people the talent back then from the musicians and the thought that went into the songs.
The lead singer wrote this song at age 19. It was released in 1967. This video was from him singing the song in 2006......40 years later.
You are hearing him at age 60+.
MDreezy. This is the first time visiting your channel, but it won't be the last. Great reaction, my young friend. It is so comforting to find someone so young, who appreciates good music, even though it is out of their genre. I have subscribed to your channel, and am looking forward to more of your reviews. If you want some more suggestions for The Moody Blues, try "Tuesday Afternoon", "I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band", and "In your wildest dreams". The Moodys have a large catalog of hits.
Perfect! Thank you, Tuesday afternoon is just reacted to a few days ago: czcams.com/video/8kNuMArwaD0/video.htmlsi=igsjd7EsOCW6fX8B and i will definitely check out more!
Really Appreciate your comments about todats music compared to the old days when musicians and audience were very different
Angels have been the actual composers of ths bands's beautiful music....blows me away, every time I hear any of it....
This is epic 40 years after I was first recorded. Yall fail to notice these guys were still performing together 4 decades later and sound this good. Your generation may never produce any group that will endure the test of time and fill a stadium still!!!!
We used to listen to Moody Blues in the early 1970s after a long LSD trip and mellowing out. There was a HUGE variety of musical Talent and you could experience it on many levels. People didn't "aways" need to listen to harder rock although it had its place. Music was a wonderful way to get in touch with yourself and your emotions.
Since I'm almost 70 years old I don't think I'll be going to any rap concerts, Heck I didn't go to any concerts when I was young, too many people for me. This song has been on my playlist every day since it first came out though and I've heard it at least once a day since then! I have to say though that you are really missing out by not wearing headphones! You miss little things that you cannot hear with speakers. Try it you'll like it! FABULOUS reaction to the Moody Blues.
Now with that out of the way, how are you doing these days?
Many audiences were unfurled that they were recording back then, and the right, it was respected. Glad you get it!! The entire album should be listened to at some point. It will make even more sense!
Justin the lead singer wrote the song in a single day. His girl at the time had just broken up with him. As a parting gift she gave him a set of white satin sheets hence the title. This is the climax to the album Days Of Future Past. This particular concert was at thee Royal Albert Hall in 1991. The album came out in 1967. Justin had the same powerful vocals back then but even more with his maturity. Yes the album was recorded with an orchestra. To start the group used a mellotron which gave them an orchestral feel. At the time of the production their production company had hired an orchestra for a different project. That fell through. Then someone said we spent the money why not use them on the album. At the time this was a risky proposition. But then tried it. The lightning struck gold. Do your self a favor listen to the album to really get the feel. It Is worth it.
My all-time favourite *Moody Blues* album is called: "To Our Children's Children's Children" ...and it _actually_ _starts_ the first song - "Higher and Higher" (written by Graeme Edge, the Moody Blues drummer - R.I.P) - on 'side one' with the 'full-throated roar' and *loud* sound of the Apollo_11 Rocket engines as it took off heading for the Moon 🚀- 🇺🇸 🎵 ...
(Taking _3_ American astronauts* to land on the Moon in July 1969.
*Michael Collins* piloted the 'mothership' which orbited the Moon, whilst his 2 colleagues
*Edward 'Buzz' Aldrin* and
*Neil Armstrong* went down in the 'Lander' part of the spaceship. *Neil* was the first man to step down the ladder of the _Lander_ - which was named 'Eagle' - and told 'NASA' (in Houston, Texas) 'back home' on the Earth, who were in charge of the Mission...
"Houston, the Eagle has landed" ...
As *Neil Armstrong* stepped off the last rung of the ladder, and onto the surface of the Moon, he said, as he did so,
"This is one step for man, one giant leap for Mankind" ) 😊🇺🇸❤ ...
The rest of the song, and the other songs are all _beautifully_ written and performed, and are "space-related" in their lyrics, all inspired by the time (1960's) and adventures in exploring our Moon by the 6 various Apollo Moon Missions:
('Apollo_11', 'Apollo_'12', - but _not_ 'Apollo_13', which had a "serious and life-threatening problem", and so sadly had to abort their Mission and return to Earth instead of going to the Moon - then, 'Apollo_14,' 'Apollo_15', 'Apollo_16' and finally, 'Apollo_17'). ...
_Apollo_ was the series of Mission names, - and each crew member (astronaut) wore a specifically designed 'badge' stating his 'Mission name and Number' - the Numbers were each _individual_ Mission, and the _actual_ 'Rockets'🚀 which launched each 'Mothership and Lander' to the Moon, were, I believe, actually called the 'Saturn_5' Rockets.🚀🇺🇸🎵♥️
(Sorry, 'History Lesson' over!! I'm _70_ 😮 now, and so I tend to remember a _fair_ bit of this stuff - though not all - and so I await _polite_ correction for any bits I might've got wrong?!! 😊)
That is also my favorite album by The Moody Blues. It's amazing! I love Gypsy. It may be my favorite song by them.
@@theadviser123
I share your fondness for 'Gypsy' and am hard pressed to not agree with it being my own favourite song ...but I've always been drawn to 'Watching and Waiting' as it has a kind of wistfulness, which I cannot easily explain... It always makes me think of 'Moonwatcher' - the 'pre-dawn man-ape' creature from Stanley Kubrick's much celebrated (& my own favourite) film
'2001, A Space Odyssey' ...and Justin's haunting line,
"I hope it won't be very long" ...
reminds me of 'Moonwatcher's' thought,that he "didn't know what to do ...but he would think of something" 🤔❤️🙂🏴🌟❤️🖖
Candle of Life is my favourite song from the album, but it what not take to much persuasion to choose Watching and Waiting.
They have a beautiful collection of music. You should really take a listen. Thank you for your honesty.
Thank you, I will
May you never get too used to this song to where you vacuum the house to it
It's June 6, 2024, when I happened upon this reaction. I will turn 60 in September of this year, and I AM STILL brought to tears with this masterpiece.
Great reaction. Don't walk or jog, run over to "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" by the Danish National Symphony
It's called Nights in White Satin because the lady who got away had gifted him satin sheets for his bed at one time.
This was my brother, Court's, favorite band. He passed away three years ago. He was on a pacemaker and only 15% of his heart worked and he was on a donor list.
I bought him tickets for his birthday in his thirties.
He was working on a car on jacks and an idiot "friend" kept sitting inside the car. My brother yelled at him to stop. He wouldn't, so my brother started to get from under the car, and he started to hear creaking as he was laying sideways, and the car came down and twisted his spine.
Even in excruciating pain, HE MADE THE CONCERT!!!
I worked event security and REALLY TRIED TO GET HIM BACKSTAGE.
He was HAPPY ANYWAY and kept yelling, "OWW!" as tears of JOY streamed down his face as he clapped wildly. WE WERE LAUGHING and I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT MOMENT. 👏🎉😂
I woke up around 1:45 CST and am sitting here laughing in my bed as I LITERALLY FEEL the lung cancer tha spread to up my spne and into my brain, MELTING away as I talk to him. We are connected SPIRITUALLY. NO LIE.
I AM ASTOUNDING DOCTORS AT VANDERBILT AND I WILL PUT TOGETHER PROGRAMS AND PACKAGES FOR CANCER PATIENTS TO BE BETTER INFORMED THAT ANYONE CAN GET IT WITH NO HISTORY AT ALL.
I have come face to face with so many SURVIVORS who ARE CANCER FREE.
MITACLES DO HAPPEN!!!
💫💥🙌
Thanks for reviewing this. I have been with you on Ren reactions lately and I was pleasantly surprised to see you shift gears to review this. Ren is a great new Artist no doubt and I have enjoyed your reactions. This song was a major hit back in the early 70s when I was a teen. Great and enduring song by a sometimes overlooked band from the 60s and 70s heyday. Some other songs by them are “Question of Balance”, “Tuesday Afternoon” and “Story in Your Eyes”, “Ride my See Saw” to name a few.
Thank you very much! I will definitely check out the mentioned!!
Lol, I'm on a similar track as a Renegade and an old Moody Blues (and metal and prog) fan. I also grew up in the 1960's and '70's, and am now happy to see young artists like Ren and reactors like MDreeezy open up to the deeper and more authentic layers of music. Back in the early 2000's I had the great pleasure of seeing the Moody Blues perform outdoors in Albuquerque. They didn't have a full orchestra behind them, but they didn't really need it. The whole experience was magical and mystical. 🤠
The original recording of this on vinyl was really beautiful and I enjoyed it so much...way way back then in the "old" days :-) This rendition with the orchestra is just outstanding. This isn't the music or the era for crazy patron reaction, needed to be polite and listen.
Todays music isn't real music, like you said. Too much computers. I call this orchestral Rock.
Who needs a guitar solo when you have a flute in the band.
Great job, young man, both for this reaction to my all-time favorite band, and for your remarkably refreshing and open-minded outlook on music. Good luck to you!
Thank you!!
Bee Gees "Too much heaven" "How deep is your love" "Stayin alive" "More than a woman" "Jive talkin" "Nights on broadway" for the win
Royal Albert Hall built in 1871. The royal family has their own box here. Among the most iconic concert venues in the world. beautiful beyond description. Worthy of great music performances.
Procol Harum “A Whiter Shade of Pale” would be an appropriate follow up to this!

I saw M.B. in Vegas in 87 and it was just the band and they sounded great.
Dude. Your reactions have a tendency to bring tears. I really appreciate how you analize. You are so refreshing. Thank you so much.
You have said some profound, true things. I'm glad there young people who recognise the beautiful music genius of our generation.
When you listen to a song,lie back and close your eyes and listen to the lyrics.Vonnie ❤❤❤❤❤❤ is a ❤great
Imagine buying this within a month of release popping the sleeve and putting this on my turntable and listening to it for the first time in 1967. That's me I own over a thousand vintage vinyl albums from this time.
I understand that comment completely !
This is a concert hall with a full orchestra behind them.
Having a flutist play, along with a full orchestra was quite revolutionary when it first came out in the nineteen seventies. It was quite a vision to work this out and manifest it in a live concert. the metal things are chimes So glad you got to hear them. Suggest looking into the entire album "Days of Future Passed" to see how it begins at dawn and ends with the nights in white satin (smooth silky bed sheets)
Bravo the classic 1967 track from Days of Future Past
Actually Justin Heyward said this song is a love letter to his now wife.
Yes! More old school please!
As one who was there when this music was released you can't know how moving it is that this generation has people like you who realize the specialness of this music. It's amazing. I was just a kid who loved this and somehow it is wonderful that you love it too.
If you react to Time by Pink Floyd you’ll never be the same 🔥
Straight from the soul of Justin Hayward to us. God bless you, Justin. You are opening the hearts of every generation. W love you and we are grateful.
The instrument you mentioned is a percussion instrument called wind chimes...you were close! 🙂
Hahah thank you! I knew i may have been a little off😂
I wish I could personally take you through all the music I have loved since about 1960 - from Motown to the British Invasion on through 70s & 80s till now. It is so wonderful. To find someone so young who appreciates all the great music you missed. So many bands- Blue Oyster Cult, War, Rockpile, ELO, Gerry Rafferty, America the list at goes on and on. I hope you enjoy it all.
Thanks for this one. Such a beautiful song. I have a suggestion for you from the band blind melon and the song tones of home. Love that you like actual beautiful, meaningful music. Cant find that much lately
I appreciate the kind words!! I will definitely check out Blind Melon and the song Tones of Home!!
@@MDreeezy the biggest hit they've had was no rain. Have you heard that one?? And really, if you need any suggestions, let me know. I've been around for a min (or a few) and know some really awesome music. Really enjoy your channel. You remind me of my son, the way you feel about certain things and personality and wish you all the good in the world. Sorry, my mom vibes came out lol
I am 73 and listening to this song brings back so many memories. My late husband and I had many nights listening to this song and solving the problems of the world and ours. Thanks for the memories.
You are correct. It’s about a lost love.
Back then it was all about respect for the singers and the music. I do love the way you react to songs and you are truly listening to the lyrics not just the music.
The Moody Blues are similar to Pink Floyd in that their albums weren’t just 12 random songs. Their albums are a story and each song is a page in the story. This song is from the album Day of Future Passed. On the album when this song gets to the crescendo at the end it includes a poem called the Late Lament that ties a bow on the album. I believe this video was from a concert they did in Montereu.
Try John Farnham singing the Beatles song "Help" with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Recoded in 1989. He Recoded the studio version in about '79 or '80, but this is the best live version, and John is always better live.
React to “ Tuesday Afternoon “ from this same live concert, great pure music. And if you can find it, the Moody Blues live concert version of their song, “ Ride My Seesaw “.
Added!
MDreezy, It’s a love song about the end of one affair and the beginning of another I saw them in Milwaukee or Madison, WI. Nothing like the 70's, I tellz ya. Hearing this, I'm young again One of the best "make-out" song. You're rigfht, MDreezy. We wen t to concerts for the music. Grateful Dead shows may, just may be the exception. LOL But still.. the music. always the music. I've seen videos of recent concerts. No thank you. too nuts for me. oh I hope you listen to more of their stuff. It's all great.
Beautiful song
Moody Blues are perfect but reaction was perfect. Thank You
That was Amazing. I think that was their most famous hit. Although there was many. Your Wildest Dreams was another great song. Most concerts back in the 70s were pretty cool. There was too much partying to think about crazy stuff. 😎☮️ If you want to see talent 3 men that make up the band Grand Funk Railroad and the song is Inside Looking Out. They are from the 70s and there concerts were 🔥🔥🔥. I was there.
I will definitely check them out!! Ill bring lookjng for you in the crowd of the concerts 😂😂
@@MDreeezy oh I'll be there. Your reaction channel is refreshing.😎☮️
OUT!
Just remember... music is open to interpretation by the listener
Such passion in this beautiful song ❤ One of my all time favorites!
MDreeezy, you are ahead of your time, you know what’s good about music, thank you!👍👏👏👏💜💜
the song is about the loss of a love and the beginning of a new, lamenting the loss
Adults know how to respect performers, something GenZ knows nothing about. They dont even respect themselves.
This is the first time I see you and, my friend, you made my day! Such a young man like you appreciating real music, not only appreciating but underrating it! You gave me so much hope and joy; I'm so happy because your values are wholesome and you are the real thing. I loved all your commentaries, you are awesome. And I hope you find that love my friend, you fully deserve it! loved what you said about love and " outside looking in" and I wish you to be in looking outside as soon as possible...My respect! Stay real!
You have some great times ahead listening to my music while groowing up in the UK in the 60.s and 70,s
I agree with you, the concerts nowadays are out of control. Love ❤ this song it’s so beautiful
You're a wonderful reactor! I loved Moody Blues, thank you!👍🏻🇬🇧
best live version but the studio version has the spoken word in it. great reaction! the Moodies have one of the most loyal fan bases in musical history
Grateful dead. US blues.
very intelligent reaction
Great reaction ! Your interpretation was very intelligent and well done!
Thank you so much!
Loving your reactions, thank you, it’s so great seeing the generations come together through the beauty of music. Keep up the great work
what a great young man for saying what he says
