#TheAfternoon #TheModyBlues #Reaction
The album is a journey of an entire day...morning to night.
Or birth to death. Its all relative.
Oh! I've listened to this song for decades & enjoy it every time but I didn't know it was a journey through a whole day. I've often wondered if the lyrics were a metaphor for something. But I can dig it. Thanks, man.
I'm so glad you loved this, I know you've mentioned you like orchestral rock, so you HAVE to listen to this entire album, it will blow you away!
Yes!!
There's no band like the Moodys. I grew up listening to them and saw them live a couple of times. Their music takes you on a journey.
I grew up listening to this group & they are one of my favorites from the 60's-80's. Love their mix of rock with classical music. They have a sound like no other band. They have so many great songs such as "Go Now", "The Story In Your Eyes", "Question", "Ride My See-Saw", "I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band)", "Gemini Dream", "The Voice", "Your Wildest Dreams" etc. But all of their music is great. Many of their records are concept albums & meant to be listened to all at once. Sadly their drummer Graeme Edge passed away recently.
And Ray Thomas, the flute player, passed in 2018 just before the band was inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame. The second song "Evening Time" was written and performed by John Lodge the bass player. At this time there were five members of which all five wrote and four sang.
Hey, Dagmar!! I was fortunate enough to see them live in Morgantown, WV in the mid-80s. The whole evening was like a dream. As if I had fallen asleep in the afternoon & awoke in the early evening. Felt good but slightly askew.
The Moody Blues! The soundtrack of some of the best years of my life! If it wasn't for emotive music like this, I wouldn't have been here today.
Dagmar, you named great moody blues hits, but those were the only ones played on radio, to really experience the moodies you need to listen to entire albums...they don't have anything bad.
I am so glad you are getting to the genius that is Moody Blues BUT and this is a BIG BUT!
With The Days of Future Passed YOU MUST LISTEN FROM START TO FINISH IN ORDER!!!
The same with album Search for the Lost Cord.
DO THIS!!! It is the best way to experience the wonder of their music.
Salvo, so glad you heard the proper 'album' version, but you NEED to hear it in the context of the album's concept for it to really hit home! Forever Afternoon (Tuesday?) is the first part, and yes, it was released as a 'single'. The latter part is Evening (Time To Get Away). This would segue into the evening section on the album - another two fantastic songs: The Sun Set and Twilight Time (my personal favourite). Seriously - you must hear the entire Days Of Future Passed album - to this day, no matter what my mood - hearing it makes me feel good! The band's music, the orchestra, vocal harmonies & lyrics - it's a complete experience! Cheers!
Yes! You have it exactly. Those two songs are my favorites too! Salvo needs to do the whole album start to finish.
It sounds like you're going to love every part of this album ... as do we all. This is one of those early concept albums. Each song blends into the next. FWIW, the X-Men movie in 2014, "Days of Future Past" is of course a reference to this album.
This album is an epic poetic composition which was meant to be listened to from start to the end, note the song titles as it passes through 1 emotional day.
You have cut out and watched 2 of the better scenes of the movie. Afernoon and Night 😢. PS you only listened to the short version of nights in white satin.
I’ve been trying to get him to notice my posts about listening in order
This 8 minute piece is just "The Afternoon". It starts mentioning evening, but the next piece after this on on the album is formally called "Evening". So, this video does not get close to "The Night". SalvoG, you're going to love this whole album.
The Moody Blues are on a whole other level,
Orchestral rock is gorgeous, My favorite is Nights in White Satin but treat yourself dim the lights put your headphones on and listen to the whole album Days of Future Passed
I was 21 when this album came out. Seven of my friends would come by on weekends and we would crank up Moody Blues songs. The music was so unique, we were blown away, and I bought every album they produced.
💙
The killer song from this album is "The Night" which is more commonly known as "Nights in White Satin". I go between "Tuesday Afternoon" and "The Night" as being my favorites. I think the album still holds up pretty well from 1967,.
I love the 60's
Ride My See Saw is fire, The Word & Om is transcendent.
This album as a young teen opened my eyes to a tender emotion that I guess would be a higher romantic feeling toward music, something I felt as a boy was not allowed for boys to feel. But I could not help it, I was in love with the sounds and his voice and emotional tones. I joined symphonic band in high school because of this album, (and because I didn't want to march around with frozen feet in Alaska at football and outdoor hockey games ...).
Every song on this album is amazing, and the classical bridge passages that echo the melodies between them is a sweet rest between the 60s psychedelic beats of the other songs.
That mellotron was a magical sound when this was released. It was like a funky pipe organ, but punchier and better suited to the baselines and drums. I notice they are very careful about not stepping on the vocals with that buzzy keyboard sound, but using it to echo the vocal melody after the lines are sung, and that is very good musical writing. The whole thing is a masterpiece on par with a Beethoven or Strauss suite. There are even spoken word passages on this. It is like a musical education of several years in 41 and half minutes.
I'm glad you said this. The music from back then often had men singing of love and loss, things we would feel in real life. We learned the words to express our feelings even if we couldn't cry in front of anyone. At that age, our emotions were a maelstrom of love, hate, happiness, despair, and more all ramped up to 11. These kinds of songs often helped us navigate and channel our own turbulent emotions. These songs often offered a kind of emotional release by feeling as if the singer was going through it with us, offering themselves as our release.
I was a child when this came out but growing up hearing words like these sung by men, taught me ways to express these feelings. Whenever I could muster up the courage to reveal them to someone, I knew what to say. In any case, they were an important part of our socialization. This is something that is mostly missing from today's music. I work w young people and sometimes play my own music. I'm stunned when I hear young men in their 20s say they wish they knew how to say things to someone. I keep telling, listen and learn. That's how I learned. Like I said, I'm glad you said this because it's not often acknowledged how important it was for us boys to hear men singing about emotions and love and loss. I just wish I had learned to play an instrument like you did!
DAWN IS A FEELING is GREAT SONG. THE WHOLE ALBUM IS EXCELLENT.
THRESHOLD OF A DREAM" EXCELLENT!❤❤❤
"Tuesday Afternoon" one of their best!!!
See them do it live on youtube😎😎😎😎😎
I’m always glad to see younger people enjoying the great music of the the 60’s 70’s and 80’s. This album is indeed a classic. A fantastic mix of rock and classical music. Progressive rock if you want to give it a label.
Many many years of music to delve into. Hundreds and hundreds of mind expanding albums to discover. ENJOY!
I grew up in the '80s and we were truly and honestly blessed. Very seldom did we squirm from "different' or "alternative" music to what we were expected to like and listen to. We lived for the weekends, silly to say, but i'm not sure that any teen generation lived to party like we did. On any night, I was the lucky one whose mother trusted her enough to literally give me the house every weekend ALL WEEKEND, I was able to play Billy Joel to Iron Maiden and as much as possible in between each one. Beach Boys to Split Enz.....we were able to journey through music without a lot of judgement from our piers.....Zepplin to Simon and Garfunkel. I honestly feel sorry for what the kids expect from themselves today, from what you see on Tik-Tok, it doesn't seem to be too much. I loved living through it and the best things were the concerts. One day Lionel Richie next, Black Sabbath....and the cost was absorbable for teens, like $17-25 tops. One of the best experiences ever was David Bowies "Let's Dance" Tour....David Bowie, Peter Gabriel and The Tubes. I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and that outdoor concert literally still goes down as one of the best days of my life. Plus 25 Celsius, huge outdoor Stadium and a concert that went until 1 in the morning.....I do seriously long for those days once in a while, because being an adult can really suck sometimes. I dunno, it was truly just so different back then, none of us were angry. No one cared who was gay and if guys wore makeup, everyone loved everyone man....just the way it was. We grew up as a very accepting generation, and the myriad forms of music were there beside us to get us through every teen-age emotion that existed within us. Appreciate what you do man, some reactors just bob their heads to the music and never really appear to listen to the words...that really frustrates me. Maybe you should venture into some classical and opera. Pavarotti "Nessum Dorma" and Mozart reach into your soul and grab your guts....it's when you think that one man can write music for every Orchestral Instrument you realize the potential of the human soul. Thankyou for giving yourself the best of the world we live n. Music is inherent to our being. Just a quick little factoid, they found a Bone Flute in Germany a few years ago aged to 35,000 years old, it has the exact musical scale as it exists to this day...just goes to show you, the brain knows what it wants. Music is the math of the Universe.
Moody Blues fused rock and classical, probably the first rock group to do this, the most prominent rock group to do this. The Beatles used orchestral instruments in some of their music but I would not say their music was a fusion of the genres
The Moodies were the first rock/pop group to utilize an orchestra in this way. The Nice with Keith Emerson (pre-ELP) took it even further. As far as the first group to fuse rock and classical, that would be Procol Harum.
Yes, a magical song from a magical band.
I was 11, 1967, have loved and seen them several times, feel very blessed I found them! ❤❤
Can't go wrong with vintage Moody Blues..
Highly recommend checking out more:

Just nodding agreement with everyone who grew up with this incredible music. This was back when music was actually music - people playing instruments and not computerized sounds. Moody Blues made me think of knights in armor, damsels in love, heartbreak, depth of love, and purposeful wandering. SO glad you have enjoyed this beautiful piece. 💙
The whole album is great. The last song, Nights in White Satin, was the theme song at my High School prom event in 1975
"Thatt was magical and enchanting" Well said Salvo and Welcome to the Moody Blues! "I like the switch up" Hold on there's Much more!! Stay tuned!❤
Moody Blues wrote and performed the music for a radio version of War of the Worlds with Richard Burton narrating the story, it's killer
Cracking band who have a lot of very good songs. Try my favourite "Question".
As I was born in the 60s, and raised in the 70s, I grow up listening to The Moody Blues all my life. Next to Pink Floyd; this is more of my favorite bands. I got to see them once in the last 90s, and it was a Magical Experience, to say the least. I was also very lucky; as I got to sit in the very first row. Right side of the stage; just in front of John Lodge. I had even found one of his picks on the floor, when the looks came on. The lady next to me; who was her first time seeing the band as well, was almost as excited as I was when I found it. It had his name on it; so I knew who it belonged to.
They didn't do the full version of Nights in White Satin; only because they started off with the orchestra playing the end sequence first. They even had drummer Graeme Edge come on stage first to speak the end poem of the song. Once the music ended; the rest of the band came out. One of the best nights of my life.
Oh Sal, you have hit on one of my favorite songs. Thank you, it takes me back to such great memories. Bless you!!!!
This song has always given me the chills, so perfect!
I was first exposed to this group with Nights in White Satin. Love everything they have done since....even in Your Wildest Dreams.
It all started with DOFP for the Moody Blues. Then came the Magnificent 7 albums. There is your new rabbit hole to explore and enjoy!
We always talk about Floyd being THE “stoner” band. But before Floyd, there was The Moody Blues. This came out in 1967/68, right as psychedelic rock was flourishing on both sides of the Atlantic. I do know that if you were having a party where weed was going to be present. Moody Blues was definitely one of the bands that was going to be on the turntable. Often as the party was winding down…..a really chill vibe.
Congratulate yourself SalvoG, as far as I know you’re the first to react to this amazing song 🎧 most go to their epic song Nights In White Satin, which is equally great and then forget about this great band 👍
That was a lot of fun I think I had pretty much the same reaction the first time I heard this too really enjoyable Thanks for sharing
Great reaction. With moody blues always do the album version and if the song you are going for has a shortish song preceding it, play that too it’s probably really the intro. They made to be played a side at a time and they made seven amazing albums on a row
it'e genius isn't it ? MB are absolute gems 😁
This is the album with Nights in White Satin. The orchestration with this is just sublime.
This is one of the albums on my top ten classic rock list. Right behind The Grand Illusion by Styx. My favorite song on this LP is Nights in White Satin.
I've been listening to them for literally decades. First on the radio, vinyl, cassette, and cd. I have never heard this extended version. The second half is so different than the first, it's almost like they don't go together. But wow, like you said, what a treat! I'm so glad you decided to play this version. Now I'm going to go looking for it to listen again with more focus. Thank you Salvo!
100% Totally agree!
I've never heard the shorter versions.
they were my first concert way back in 1971. excellent musicianship and great lyrics!
Flautist Ray Thomas was a member of the band, and was a big part of every album. Flute, some vocals, songwriting.
One of the greatest concept albums ever. I have seen them live 6xs. They never disappointed me. I grew up on them. My eldest brother was the cadalyst for that.
Talk about bringing back memories... imagine listening to this album back in the day as a young 19 year old Air Force first term enlisted man attached to a remote US Army base in north central Thailand during the Viet Nam war in a shack on stilts off base with jungle beyond the bright green rice paddies... little Thai kids riding water buffaloes... and... yes... Thai Buddha stick smoked from a bamboo bong was involved... loved the Moody Blues back in the day
This is one of my favorite bands of all time. Their seven albums, from this one (Days of Future Passed) to The Seventh Sojourn, make up the bulwark of their best material (there is some good stuff on the albums that follow though)! Loved seeing your enthusiasm, and I really love that you are such a thoughtful listener, something I think you said in a while ago in another reaction that you have learned to develop from doing reaction videos. Brother, thank you for taking the time to listen well!
Prity good for the 1960's. loved them when they came out and still love there music.
I believe they had the London Festival Orchestra in their recording of this incredible LP
The end of the afternoon leads into the Evening which then leads into the song you have heard “Nights in White Satin”. The last four minutes of The Afternoon is talking about The Evening. That is why they cut it off back in the day at the 4 minute version because they are singing about the evening and it is basically a different song!
Between "Evening:Time to Get Away" here and Nights are the two numbers "Sunset" and "Twilight Time" along with several orchestral interludes. All of them incredible and essential to appreciate the structure of the album.
I got to see them perform in the Civic Arena, Pittsburgh Pa! A once in a lifetime experience!!!
Just FYI, the original Snow White movie was from the 1930's and was the first feature-length animated film. Aside from that, you need to listen to this whole album start to finish. We saw the 50th anniversary concert with the Moody Blues in 2018. This album occurred quite by accident - they answered a challenge from their label to do a rock/orchestral album.
I still listen to the whole thing. This was written to be of a piece, concluding with Nights in White Satin. " Cold hearted orb, that rules the night, removes the colors from our sight. Red is grey and yellow white, but we decide which is right, and which is an illusion?"
Even if you ultimately only listen to it from beginning to end by yourself, for yourself, SO worth it!
The back story on the making of this album is really cool. In a nutshell, The Moody Blues were having trouble getting a good recording contract. They were finally hired by Decca for a very, specific gig; they were to adapt Dvorak's Symphony #9 to a popular format with a modern arrangement. However, they ditched the idea and finished the project they had already started; an original piece representing the different times of day. Decca was taken by surprise and not happy with being blindsided. However, the album had its proponents and was released as recorded. Nights in White Satin (The Night) ultimately became their biggest hit and Tuesday Afternoon (Forever Afternoon: Tuesday & Twilight Time) became a beloved track, even by non-fans. Tuesday Afternoon was written by Justin on a beautiful day when he went out to sit in a field in Surrey looking for inspiration from nature. He succeeded. The album is considered by many the first pure concept album with every song connected by a theme and in order. Love your reactions Salvo, technique and tone, among the best I have seen, kudos! And if you want to start album reviews, you could do worse than Days of Future Passed. Peace.
Obviously, I loved this back in the day, still listen on the regular. I consider this art, escape into it whenever you get the opportunity. These guys will never leave you with a negative feeling.
Oh thank goodness you found this song..... ENJOY!!! (and always go for the longest version) I have been listening to this album for over 50 years, and it never gets old...........
The Moodies did a PBS special at Red Rocks in 1992 and it's fantastic. Whole orchestra. One great story--all the music from this album had been lost, so the conductor and the Moodies had to fax and phone each other for months for him to rewrite the sheet music! But it turned out so very good! Check it out. I saw them in concert in 2003 in Branson and it was just wonderful! So glad I went.
Moody Blues!!!! Loved their music. And to listen to the music of 60s 70s on a LP was the best ever!!- Hayward voice was so smooth. . Loved this song....
There’s a London Symphony Orchestra concert on CZcams with the Moody Blues…fyi…
Omg, this was soooo good, I forgot about this song, it was in the 60’s….brilliantly done! It’s like I’m hearing it for the first time. I think some of us baby boomers took our great music for granted…oh my heart! ♥️👏👏👏👏
My first memory of this album was driving in a Ford festiva on cassette back in 1990 with my dad. I was six years old. I will always have a special place in my heart for the moody blues. Most underrated band of all time.
You have to listen to the whole LP in it's entirety. I believe you will be amazed and quite impressed.
Interesting choice love you
I've been a fan since the '60's so I hope you react to a few more of their songs. Great reaction, Salvo!
You really need to listen to an entire MB album to experience the journey they're taking you on. It's really an emotional experience, in this case, the highs and lows and deep reflections through one solitary day.
Add my recommendation for Renaissance to your symphonic prog list. I love the Moodies too. Mike Pinder's mellotron helped create their trademark "wall of sound" brand, which sadly changed after he left the group. The Moodies remind me of John Williams. Renaissance reminds me or Rachmaninoff, Bach, Prokofiev, and Tchaikovsky. Things I Can't Understand might be a good starting point.
At 10:42 the singer, John Lodge, is followed by a high voice in falsetto (himself doing it). But, wait, where is the other backing voices from the band we used to hear here?! Well, in this album edition they had lost the recordings of the other Moodies voices, thats why John is alone being a "castrato" singer..
The orchestration around the end of the short/radio version (which you correctly identified) is one of my favorite moments in symphonic music. They have many other great songs, but this and Nights In White Satin--AKA" The Night," which you still need to hear in full (about 7 1/2 mins.)--were enough to make me a Moody Blues fan. Orchestral rock at its finest!
They had a keyboards, synthsizers, piano...that membervpassed.
Tuesday Afternoon is another of Moody's legendary songs! And then it leads into Nights in White Satin which it is legendary in its own right.
Moody Blues Albums tell a story!!! SEE LIVE PERFORMANCE OF MOODY BLUES "NIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN"😍😍😍😍😍😍💋💋💋💋💋💋
I enjoyed your reaction. The Moody Blues nave been one of my favorite bands since 1967, when I first heard their album Days of Future Past. Their music was distinctly different from other bands. All their albums have a theme and takes you on a journey. If you like classical mixed with rock you should hear the live performance of their flagship song called Nights in White Satan. Find the performance that has an entire orchestra.
what a great piece of music - it IS amazing - a song about lying in a field with a joint and your dog. :-) Mike Pinder on the Mellotron - which elevates so many of Haywards compositions to ethereal greatness - RIP Mike [2024-04-24]
Really, you must, if you haven't by now, listen beginning to end, the entire album! It's like reading a day in the life from a diary.
When the Beatles were filming "Help!", McCartney had a radio going and the song 'Go Now' was playing. He allegedly ran over to the other band members and said, 'Hey lads! Here's a group that's as good as us'.
Fun fact: 'Go Now' was sung by Denny Lane who would later become a band member of McCartney's Wings.
I'm so happy for hearing this high on Acid(window pane). Class of 76 😵💫😜🤷💃🤯
You do realise this was recorded with a full symphony orchestra Ive seen them 4 time 3 with an orchestra You should checkout the live version of nights in white satin. Also my favorite album by then is in search of the lost chord the album cover s truly mind blowing :)
I saw them live 8-10 years ago. They sound as amazing as ever. I don't think they have aged at all. This one is one of my favorite songs.
This is one of their best. They bring back som😂 magnificent memories
The live performance of this at Royal Albert Hall is a good one to listen to with the live orchestra providing backup.
This was my soother in the 70´s - calmed me right down after school - way down to meditation mode.......!!
Love this entire album. Especially the spoken part "Breathe deep the gathering gloom, watch lights fade from every room" so magnificent.
Most underrated band ever! Seen in concert and are fantastic 😊
The Moody Blues were my refuge throughout my adolescence and early twenties. I love them.
the classical in between bits are Peter Knight compositions - using the themes/melodies from the Moodies tunes as transitional tracks. the "orchestra" was a collection of studio players.
The keyboard player Mike Pinder worked in the mellotron factory at one time.
I've never heard the 2nd half of the song. If that was Justin, I'm impressed with his range. Very cool!
I agree there are interludes of Disney and in the last part you hear a little Beatles as well. This song has 5 songs in it and they all flow together so well. Always one of my favorites but for us who grew up with them there are so many great songs to choose from over 4 decades of recordings and even now, nearly 60 years later, they still play dates.
Nights in white satin is another piece by the Moodys that you might also enjoy ❤
The live version.
This is an album that should be listened to its entirety 1 of the 1st prog rock and theme albums
"Nights in White Satin" live at the Royal Albert!!! Stunning....
Late Lament isn't in that version. Here's the one:
czcams.com/video/7JFQl_OPofU/video.html
After you’ve listened to cuts from the albums from ‘67 thru ‘75 , invite a friend, grab your favorite beverage, and enjoy their entire concert recorded in Red Rocks in ‘93.
Yep. My oldest brother smoked me out jamming this album out when I was a teenager.
The best way to listen to this album is from start to finish, uninterrupted. Usually after a big fat hooter. One of my all time favorites!!
Still got the vinyl album.
I completely love you! This is my generation’s incredible music- I had not heard the extended version in so very long and you gave an excellent review and reaction!!
Salvo, I believe you would enjoy “Wildest Dreams”. A little bit different from what you would expect, but it really moves you. Also musically beautiful.
Dawn is a feeling.
THEY WERE GREAT IN STUDIO...LIKE THE BEATLES😎
The Moody Blues somehow connected into the channel of Natures Principles which are actually Universal Principles. That is why its so relatable. For instance they talk about trees drawing them near, like they are tripping, and they may have been. "Something calls to me.. " If you listen to Watching and Waiting most assume it is about a person. Why I don't know. It clearly is that "SOMETHING" drawing them near speaking again. First "IT" talks about the mole burrowing its way OUT to the sun.. then... "Soon you will see ME 'Cause I'll be all around you. But where "I" come from I can't tell. ( eternal mystery ) But don't be alarmed by MY FIELDS and my FORESTS. ( sounds like God or as I say Nature as it IS also ) They're here for only you to share. " It starts out " Watching and waiting For a friend to play with Why have I been alone so long?" It is like the call of Eden for us to return from our concrete jungle and distractions back to IT to create and gather ALL that is FREELY given to us. Our sovereignty, free food, water and plant medicines. Creating a different sort of world not based on the substitutes and more sustainable to protect and preserve the other earthlings like we are meant to. Finding our true selves in the place and SPACE where all our powers and abilities lie waiting for us to find there. Talk about spiritual on a whole level most don't get. Being someone who used to trip alot you see deeper into the consciousness around you and you pick up on it. Explaining is difficult. Understanding has taken me decades.
Thank you,Thank you, Ty, for listening to the album version as it was intended !!! …. Need to listen to album in one sitting with headphones to appreciate its beauty ! 🌞💫🌤🌈
Imagine it's the late 60's. You're with your significant other, listening to this album . Doesn't get any better.
You got a twofer! Tuesday Afternoon whichsgoes right into The Evening . You MUST listen to The Night aka Nights in White Satin AND the Coda at the end of the Album together! So many reactors leave off the Coda and it's just incomplete without it. There are SO many great Moody songs! If you ever do WATCHING AND WAITING, .ake sure to do the short songs I'D NEVER THOUGHT I'D LIVE TO BE 100 and I NEVER THOUGHT I'D LIVE TO BE A MILLION all TOGETHER before WATCHING AND WAITING! You'll thank me!😊 Keep them coming!😂
The first seven Moody Blues albums which are frequently referred to as the 7 Core albums are a masterpiece. The are must haves for anyone who loves music.
Each tells its story. 🙂
I was helping a friend pack up her uncle's estate. Tucked away in a corner of an upstairs bedroom was a huge stash of cds--from the carpenters to green day to ozzy--and 7 albums. The core 7. I just about fell over when she told me to take all of it as a thank you. I love the Moody Blues, never owned them all on vinyl at the same time, and I finally have a whole weekend off to enjoy them the way they were intended!
I first heard it when it was released and have owned all their albums on vinyl.
My first LP was Creadence Clearwater Revival. I collected Jethro Tull, Uriah Heep, Kat Stevens, and several others.
I had all of Firesign Theater
Dire Straits
Alan Parsons Project
...
