The Red Rocks concert was the best film of any concert I can think of!! A treasure!!

[@deborahglover0112]

I absolutely love The Moody Blues a band that really never got the credit they deserve❤❤

[@walterfechter8080]

The Moody Blues are, by far, one of the greatest collectives of master musicians who've ever graced a recording studio or concert stage. Their style is superbly eclectic. Their very well-known tune, "Ride My Seesaw," was the perfect amalgam of Rock and Spanish influences (Justin's solo). Many thanks, Rock History Book. Many thanks, John Lodge. "For My Lady" - dedicated to my heavenly-resplendent wife, Barbra Rose (RIP).

Thank you for this interview with John Lodge. The man never gives up and keeps going even after having a stroke over Christmas. I did notice that he has a bit of aphasia with his words but it hasn't affected his singing. God bless him, he's one of the greatest bassist of all time, brilliant song writer who puts his all into his music and a trouper for getting back on his feet and touring just 7 months following a stroke. He is also one of the nicest people one will ever meet.

[@moonshinefiftyseven6063]

I can attest to how nice he is. I met him about 2 years ago, I chatted with him, and he never gave me the impression of being rushed. He took time to answer my off-the-wall questions, and even complimented me on such original questions.

[@marktrail8624]

Wow thanks for that info, hadn't heard about the stroke.

[@moonshinefiftyseven6063]

@@marktrail8624He mentioned it during his recent tour.

[@OttoByOgraffey]

Huge thumbs up! Love, love, The Moody Blues!!

[@roserandle6392]

Absolutely love the Moodies. Greatest band ever, hands down! Thank you for sharing.

[@tlc8865]

Each Moodie had their own unique talent, the culmination of them all made the band brilliant ! Saw them many times, and Justin and John solo. Great interview! Thank you!

[@kristensorensen2219]

These men are the greatest creators of the most fabulous albums over 40 years! Wow!!👏👏👏👏😎💗

I was fortunate in the 80s and 90s to see the Moody Blues lineup which included edge, Thomas, lodge, hayword, and, Patrick Moraz. They always had fun playing and it was a fun show to see. I'll miss Ray Thomas singing painted smile and veteran cosmic rocker. Also loved the late Graeme Edge's poetry on Days of Future Past. They were a great bunch of guys. Thanks for the interview with John Lodge

[@sososo2445]

Glad to see John here - he is awesome - all the best to you John! I saw his show this summer 2024 it was great. Actually, was great to focus on John! Don't feel bad John, my dad missed all my big events when I was a kid, travelling on business and I still loved him.

[@SuperDudson]

The Moody's "classic era" was defined at least as much by Mike Pinder as by Hayward and Lodge. His mellotron and arrangements gave the group their essential sound. The music of their subsequent "comeback era" was so much lighter in substance because of his departure.

[@sososo2445]

If you must mention Mike Pinder, I must say - he was great, and they never quite had the total Moody sound without him. RIP Mike.

[@LLYMYNT]

I love the Moody Blues Thanks for sharing the interview 😊

[@michaelallred3083]

I was not a moody blues fan when I was younger. As I got older, I really learned to appreciate their music and how talented each member of the band was. My wife and I probably saw them 10 times in concerts through the years. The final time we saw them was in Las Vegas on their last tour. We had front row seats. Was magical. Saw John Lodge last year in concert and will be seeing Justin Hayward in a couple of weeks.Keep the faith!

[@thomaskowalcky4553]

Love the Moodies - my all time favorite band. I, too, was at Las Vegas for that final gig. Saw number eight of the nine shows. Travelled from Connecticut to Las Vegas just for what I was pretty sure would be the last opportunity ever. Man, do I hate when I'm right. Still see Justin's and John's solo shows when they are nearby. Had the privilege and pleasure of meeting John In Hartford, Connecticut in March 2020.

[@kas0741]

Thanks for this video. I was hoping you would have done a tribute to Mike Pinder who passed away less than 2 months ago, but at least he gets a mention here.

[@franklinj1038]

A Legend

[@dougreed2257]

Justin says he took 'nights' to the band,played it,they were indifferent,until mike did the mellotron refrain,i think thinks johns memory is a tad muddled,unless he's been tactful🤔

[@squatch545]

Only two Moodies left. I saw them in 1983 in Calgary at the Saddledome.

[@johngalt5411]

How about a BluJays 2?

[@martinjf467]

I think Keith Tippet was the first to use a Mellotron, not Mike. Mike was a quality control engineer at Streetly Electronics who made the Mellotron at that time, although The Moodies machine actually came from the M&B Brewery Social Club in Brum and not the manufacturers.

[@RedVynil]

As for Pat Moraz, he recorded solo albums and with Gong.

[@sciwiz57]

Definitely a Blue Jays 2

[@RedVynil]

During your "facts about Mike Pinder" you left out a couple things. He used to work in the factory where they made Melotrons which is how he got one and, he gave one to the Beatles, which is how they got one.
