    Shawn, you are exactly correct on the song meaning. Justin wrote the song after the breakup. The nights in white satin are a reference to the sheets she gave him just before she left him. So, while the title name fits into the overall album theme about a day in a person's life, you nailed the meaning.

    great performance done the way that only old school bands could because they had something that bands now day's don't have [TALENT].

    From Days of Future Passed, one of the first prog albums, one of the first concept albums. Justin Hayward is older here but he still has that timeless voice.

      As other's have said the whole album is worth a listen and I think it one of the most influential ones of my younger years. I have it on cd and in my collection which I listen to often. All good. People talk about the poem at the end but it is bookmarked at the beginning by another.

    Takes me back to my childhood...my dad used to play the moody blues, punk floyd and numerous other old bands. On Sundays when my mum was cooking the sunday roast dinner my dad would have the vinyl LPs blaring out. Im now 47 how quick does time go..

    This is part of a concert filmed at the Royal Albert Hall. The concert took place in 2000. The song was first released in 1967. It was part of one of the first concept albums called Days of Future Passed also released in 1967. The song did ok in 1967 but was re-released in the 1970's and hit big.

    This is the poem that comes at the end of Nights in White Satin on the album.
    Breathe deep the gathering gloom
    Watch lights fade from every room
    Bedsitter people look back and lament
    Another day's useless energy spent
    Impassioned lovers wrestle as one;
    Lonely man cries for love and 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 colours from our sight
    Red is grey is yellow white
    But we decide which is right
    And which is an illusion

    Goosebumps is what I get everytime I hear this song. The Moody Blues were one of the first prog rock bands. This is off their first album which they did the whole album with an orchestra. This song is so hauntingly beautiful.

    Imagine growing up listening to such great melodic music with great lyrics and how it might shape you as you grow and develop as a person. That was the 1960s (this was 1967) and 1970s. Moody Blues was just one example.

    • @user-pf7jm9go6o
      @user-pf7jm9go6o Před 10 měsíci +2

      As it turns out, The London Festival Orchestra was just a group of session players that the record label assembled to attempt to do an orchestral/rock album. The Moody Blues, whose potential was unknown, agreed to do the project, and it turned out to be a masterpiece. Just saw the 50th Anniversary concert in 2018.

    YES! Moody Blues! 😀 (My favorite group!) Beautiful song. This was an awesome version… wish you could hear the long album version with the poem at the end and the gong! “Days of Future Passed” is one of the most amazing albums ever! Beautiful from start to finish… one song pretty much leads into the next. We wish we could see you react to the whole thing! They have tons and tons of amazing songs! Looking forward to your next Moodies song! Thank you for doing this!

    A lot of the credit for whole record “Days of Future Passed” goes to Peter Knight who was an orchestral arranger for the record company. The band would write the songs and send them to Peter Knight and he would write the orchestra parts for the songs.

    The original album recording did have the orchestral ending on it. I suggest you listen to Days of Future Passed in its entirety. It was one of the first concept albums. The orchestra started the songs, then the band played it with guitars and metotron, then the orchestra finished the songs.

  • @wpollock1
    @wpollock1 Před 10 měsíci +6

    I actually like this version better than the original. The original album is with the orchestra (i1967), but the recording of the orchestra always - to me - sounds very compressed. Here, the recording of the orchestra is SO good. Justin, of course, nails this. I saw them a few times live (once it was front row center) and you can see how good these are.

    • @lilybee2955

  • @samuellord8576
    @samuellord8576 Před 10 měsíci

    Great reaction, great choice of music! You need to hear the first symphonic rock albums all at one reaction per album, but you could play them back as strings of multiple reactions: "Tommy" and "Quadrophenia" by the Who, "Days of Future Passed" (which contains this song at the end, called "Night") by the Moody Blues, and Yes' "Close to the Edge". All are _incredibly_ good albums, great songs fill every one.
    The Pearl Jam song you mentioned sounds (from your description, I haven't heard it yet) so similar to the groundbreaking "Paint it Black" by the Rolling Stones.

  • @bella-xp7qd

    Band member Justin Hayward wrote and composed the song at age 19 while touring in Belgium and titled the song after a girlfriend gave him a gift of satin bedsheets. They broke up. The song itself was a tale of a yearning love from afar, which leads many aficionados to term it as a tale of unrequited love endured by Hayward.

  • @ed.z.
    @ed.z. Před 10 měsíci +1

    An orchestra is a type of musical ensemble consisting of about 30-100 musicians and the sections of instruments: strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion.
    A symphony is a type of musical composition. Although the term has had many meanings from its origins in the ancient Greek era, by the late 18th century the word had taken on the meaning common today: a work usually consisting of multiple distinct sections or movements, often four, with the first movement in sonata form. Symphonies are almost always scored for an orchestra consisting of a string section (violin, viola, cello, and double bass), brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments which altogether number about 30 to 100 musicians. Symphonies are notated in a musical score, which contains all the instrument parts. Orchestral musicians play from parts which contain just the notated music for their own instrument. Some symphonies also contain vocal parts (e.g., Beethoven's Ninth Symphony).

    My first big date was in 1967. I took her to see Moody Blues at The Filmore East Greenwich Village, NYC. We hopped on a subway from Bensonhurst to Manhattan. I had about two bucks in my pocket but I remember that incredible spring night. The Band was an hour late and the audience waited patiently for the five man band who turned out was having issues with the Mellotron, a keyboard that fired up audio tape to simulate an orchestra. I remember that experience today, and until my last breath.

      @@carlweitz5169 not on that night in 1967 ish. I got my tickets a week or two early. To impress the gorgeous girl on my block who agreed to my proposed date. Cream wasn’t on my radar except for the hit “Sunshine of My Love” Soon Cream, Jeff Beck, The Who, and Hendrix were being covered while musicianship exploded merging with jazz chops in basement rehearsal spaces, everywhere. It was a musical renaissance. We thought it would evolve forever more. The personal computer destroyed the cooperative nature for many of us.

    Black is my favorite Pearl Jam song. I was lucky enough to see them do it right after that album came out when they came to my hometown and played an outdoor show and it was crazy. It was so good. But I love that song so much. I love that you made a connection between that and this. But you should also check out some live footage of them from back when they were young and also their Studio tracks are fantastic.
    I almost think you may have already done this one, but, I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band, that's a real banger by them. Definitely check out the studio version though.

    Seriously, now. Do yourself a favor. Not for the channel, just for yourself. Choose a 45 minute time to listen to music, maybe while on a medium length car trip, or while doing some light housework, or can just sit and listen, and listen to the entire Moody Blues album called Days of Future Past -which does include the classical instruments, so you can hear it all in context. To avoid confusion: on the album, this song is just called The Night, and it's the second-to-last track on the album, leading into the last bit which is spoken word. This album is often considered to be the first of the "concept" albums and a precursor to progressive rock.

    I have it when people do their first reaction to this song from THIS live version. Because it's just not as good and takes away from the song. I have this LP ( my favorite ) and it is such a beautiful song. The whole LP is great. It starts off on side one in the morning and follows to Tuesday Afternoon and through to Night's In White Satin. This live version, their older and don't sound as good.

    It's the closing track of Days of future past, though on the album a short poem about the moon is dropped on the end.. when the single was released, it had the orchestral end curtailed. The single has been released a few times. I think it reached its best position in 1972.
    They don't do a bad job of the live sound, though obviously the studio recording is a bit smoother and rounded. I've never given the lyrics much thought, just get swept away by the music.
    Can we have some more Moodies please.

  • @j.jennings1722
    @j.jennings1722 Před 10 měsíci +3

    A very good live version, but the album version is better, with great orchestration and the "Late Lament" at the end, which is classic. However, you MUST look for the version that includes "Late Lament" in the title OR look for the album title called "The Night," which is the official title for the entire track. The orchestra is wonderful, the band is fantastic, and the Late Lament is so memorable that you will want to memorize it.
    There's an old saying about this incredible song, "If you haven't heard the gong, you haven't heard the song." It's true. ❤✌

I've been a Moodies fan for most of my life and was at this show.

    This is an awesome version of this song and I always prefer live versions, but in this case what you missed was a soliloquy during the outro which is also very nice. As a "I prefer live" person, I am torn between this live version and the album version with the soliloquy - you should listen to that version too! Very had to choose a favorite between them....

    I didn't know the difference either, so I looked it up!
    What is the difference between a symphony and an orchestra
    A symphony is an orchestra's large-scale musical composition, usually requiring 50-80 instruments. SYMPHONIES REFER TO THE MUSIC, NOT THE MUSICIANS PERFORMING IT, and similar to stage plays, they may have several movements or acts of, often complex, elaborate classical music.
