I’m 60 yrs old, and I remember when I was in preschool, the teachers played this album to teach us what an orchestra sounded like. My teacher must’ve been so cool.

@brianh9358 3 ай бұрын

Although the orchestra on the album was actually a "Melotron". Of course the instruments were originally recordings of real instruments.

Vocalist Ronnie Van Zant wrote the lyrics to Freebird when he was 19 and guitarist Allen Collins the music when he was 16, and to this day it remains one of rock's most iconic songs ever written. They had the song already written for 5 years before it finally got recorded on their 1973 debut album Pronounced. Even then it didn't get immediately introduced to the world because Pronounced also had several other legendary songs on the album that became hits and remained set list staples for the band for their entire careers. Before the 1977 plane crash and beyond when the survivors reformed 10 years after the plane crash. Those songs initially got more airplay than Freebird because they were shorter, and deemed to be quote-unquote "more radio friendly" for the time. Among the songs on that debut album with Freebird were Simple Man, Tuesday's Gone, Gimme Three Steps, I Ain't The One, & Things Goin' On.

In 1970, I was walking around Duke University. In front of the iconic Chapel, four guys were sitting, playing guitars and singing. I thought to myself these guys are good enough to play music for a living. Later that night at the Moody Blues concert, I realized they were the guys from earlier that day. Both performances were excellent.

When my older brother came back from Vietnam, he brought back a Teac reel to reel, a set of quality headphones, and the best music of the late 60s/early 70s.

Back when the cops and security stepped back and left the crowd to do what they wished, including pass joints up snd down the aisle. God, was I lucky to grow up in the golden age.

This is a great live performance. "Nights In White Satin" is their most famous song. Moody Blues are one of my favorite groups from the 60's-80's. Love their mix of rock with classical music. Lots of great songs such as "Go Now", "Tuesday Afternoon", "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" etc. All of their music is great! Many of their records are concept albums & meant to be listened to all at once. Sadly Ray Thomas their flute player & singer passed away in 2018 & their drummer Graeme Edge passed away in 2021.

Bands like The MB's, and Procul Harum, from the UK, brought the orchestral element to Rock, which made you look at Rock in a whole other light, back then. The Beatles, and the Who, as well, went way beyond the typical 2 guitars, Bass, and drums thing, very often..Ironically, The MB's have a song, "I'm just a singer in a Rock 'n Roll band," which they were, but came to be so much more...I saw them twice, and they didn't disappoint, either time.

Along the lines of the Moody Blues is a classical rock group called Renaissance. The group is lead by opera-like vocalist Annie Haslam. They were most popular is the 1970's with their "Live at Carnegie Hall" double live album being their most popular. Their more popular songs are "Can You Understand", "Mother Russia", "Ashes Are Burning" and "Carpet of the Sun". They are best appreciated live. There are great live performances from 1974 on youtube.

Love the Moody Blues since I first heard them as a teen in the 80’s! I have a 13 year old/8th grade son who began playing flute in 6th grade school band. We quickly found out he’s a flute/music prodigy and made first flute chair his first year playing and has been chosen/played in our states yearly honor band performance. I let him hear this song once then printed out the sheet music. He learned to play it in 30 minutes! I was ecstatic! I played flute in middle school but never got good and to hear him do this song justice brings me immense joy! He also learned the flute part in the song Color My World by Chicago for me because I love it so much as well! This band was and is well ahead of their time and way more talented than most bands of their time. Their music is an absolutely stunning journey through the magical, mystical and otherworldly!

We listened to this song in dark rooms and let the music and spirituality take us on an extended journey.

They had been apart for a lengthy time and he gave the gift upon her return. He was 19 at the time.

I was 4 or 5 the first time I heard this song (I was introduced to it by my Mom and Dad) ... I fell in love. To this day I will say that Justin is one of my all-time favorite vocalists. When I first heard Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds album I found my favorite Justin song, Forever Autumn. In the early 2000s a full anniversary stage show was created for it in which Justin came back to "update" his performances live on stage. Needless to say, that new live version of Forever Autumn blew the original away ... which is saying a lot. Justin live (as well as the Moody Blues live) is just an unforgettable experience that doesn't leave you wanting for more. Any of the bands performances from Red Rocks shouldn't be missed.
