John Lodge Performs 'Nights in White Satin' with Jon Davison of YES

[@jonathansmith3742]

Its a great resume to say you have sung with Yes and the Moody Blues. I have seen Jon with Yes several times and was not disappointed and this was very cool, good for Jon. And John.

[@shandajames5444]

I love the Moody Blues!!!❤ This song got me hooked.

[@lewisf9266]

This is a great version. Jon Davison has a great voice. John Lodge has been fabulous for many years

[@tomschmidt381]

My wife and I saw him in July in Nashua NH, it was a great show. Mostly us geezers but there was a smattering of younger folks. The Moody Blues were a big part of my life in the early 1970s.

[@noeldsouza412]

One of my all time favourite song that got me hooked to the Moodies in the late 60's.... lovely cover ❤❤❤ Peace and love from India ☮️✌️❤️🇮🇳

[@TheLessa50]

This whole band plays beautiful! This addition of Jon Davidson puts the whole song together! The stuff of dreams!!! Love you guys!!! Keep the faith, Baby!!!!

[@davidrucker2708]

Yeah, agreed. The band and backing vocals are truly outstanding. Jon is not alone in his excellence.

[@dominicdahlheimer6861]

THANK YOU JOHN for keeping the MOODY BLUES MUSIC ALIVE! It may sound just a bit "different" but the "sound" and "meaning" resonate as much today as it did so so many years ago. Will you be touring in the upper midwest of the USA soon? STAY HEALTHY!

[@jamesmaass8929]

I thought I was going to hate this, but it's actually an awesome rendition. Fresh and well done

[@meloniedropik3539]

What a lovely rendition of a great song. Much love and gratitude to John for all the years of great recordings and performances. Rock on, Rocker!

[@douggottlieb]

Beautiful version. Great video too! ❤

[@deanwolfechannel]

Lovely. Really enjoy Davison's vocal on this as well. Bonus you have a cellist!

[@stuartheath6838]

Still a classic after all these years,more Blues please...

[@stuartheath6838]

Sure it's a little different from the O.G.,but still a pleasure to the ear .

[@ReflectiveSmile]

Magnificent ❤ 😢 Thank you.

[@jeankaye6760]

If I hadn’t already heard Justin Haywards version I would have thought this was good but you can’t get away from Justin’s heartfelt rendition

[@johncamco8854]

Saw them at memorial Hall Plymouth Mass this past summer great show super tunes fabulous memories

[@christopherhall1742]

Very impressive. John Lodge is awesome!

[@Cleroy230]

...desde mi adolescencia, por siempre ❤

[@paulrob55]

Outstanding!!!!!!!

[@tombalch1645]

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant...

[@cynthiachristiansen8803]

Thank you. ❤ 😇

[@kamac8761]

Wow!! It's truly beautiful, John Lodge! Bravo! Nicely done!

[@BobbyStockman]

This is the most classic rock song of all time it still standing strong after over 50 years. John Lodge and John Davis make a great. Unfortunately it sounds like a cover version of any song without Justin Hayward deeply emotional and heartfelt voice making you feel like you are part of his journey.

[@senamartinec7328]

So well said. Jon Davison truly has a nice voice but Justin is so tied to this iconic song. Justin brings a very special touch and emotion that fits perfectly with the lyrics. Hard if not impossible to beat. Nonetheless, kudos to John Lodge and his band. Any Moody Blues song is always a win!

[@danieljackson6427]

Always one of my favorites and this was an excellent rendition of it. Great work !😊

[@Anonymous-hy4nn]

Thanks so much for posting this beautiful song. The behind scenes video was nice to see everyone up close, well done! I got the vinyl album about a year ago, and it and your concerts in Denver are fantastic! Thanks again!

[@robertdixon6215]

Hi John Thanks for sharing Nights at a before show rehearsal interesting vocals by Jon Davidson ... Thanks for keeping the faith John I have loved your work for many years, Burn slowly the candle of Life ...

[@rute6528]

Beautiful this songs is, I love it…👏👏👏❤️🎼🎶🎵🎶

[@richparadise7539]

This Song alone is a Masterpiece, as is the whole Album * MOODY BLUES

[@christopherallendunk]

What a legend

[@margotconway8605]

The fellow from Yes did okay with the main vocal and i would mind a listen live. I'd rather hear Justin sing it - just my opinion. The strings playing Ray's flute part was interesting and okay too. I'm old now and i saw the Moodies play so many time live. It's hard with Graeme and Ray gone may they RIP. i still love Justin's voice even at his age he still sounds great. Thank you Moodies for all your great music. Terrific band and songwriting ❤

[@popatyourecords]

Brilliant version cheers love it

[@Stroudtucson]

Very cool to see this!

[@MarkHatscher]

I was there both nights-it was fantastic -Timothy Leary blew the roof off!

[@Diana1000Smiles]

I thought he was outside looking in?

[@kimzajicek7493]

Saw this live at same venue and it was superbly done. Great musicians harmonies and lead vocal were great. Enjoyed the video and really enjoyed the intimate concert venue...Glad Mr. Lodge is keeping this music live!

[@berndgruner8510]

❤❤❤❤❤❤Danke für den. Song ❤❤😂❤❤❤❤❤❤Danke fürs Senden 😂❤❤❤❤

[@pencilpauli9442]

Beautiful. Can't help but feel haunted by the absence of Ray's flute playing, which makes it even more poignant, yet the performance stands on it's own merit.

[@walterjorge3789]

Excelente. Un lujo. 👍🥂

[@dnoymusic]

Amazing vocals.

[@paulkcormier]

spectacular and deserving !!

[@johnmcleod8961]

I thought it was great...I'm 65 yo...I've heard this song all my life...this was a fantastic rendition of this song...John was there back in the day...he knows how to play the song...hey John, how about another rendition of "Blue Guitar" man.

[@danielkokal8819]

I love Blue Guitar, but its also only intact with Justin singing. Justin's voice has a fluid quality that Lodge lacks. Blue Jays was a beautiful album.

[@machinehead6564]

Great Stuff

[@lilywater3408]

❤❤❤

[@n00bk1ng3r665]

Killin it Lodge. You taking on the road?

[@Luileadolfo]

Nicely done versión !

[@TimesNewDerp]

Shame we only got one continuous shot of the actual performance, but it was great seeing the band in action.

[@craiggleason8386]

The flute solo on the cello is interesting

[@shawnfloyd6542]

Word !

[@cheechwizard60]

They should put the Blue Jays back together

[@AJ-tp9bk]

The Lodger. 😉Hi!!

[@chrishunt808]

John once said that when one of the Moodies wrote a song and shared it with the other members of the band, it ceased to be the writer’s personal property, but it then became a Moody Blues song. John was a Moody, Justin shared, no problem. Wasn’t a bad rendition either 😊

[@FrancisParker-f4s]

Father in law and Son in law duo

[@Johnnylund1]

!

[@squatch545]

Definitely needs a flute solo. And more cowbell.

[@emiliotible8495]

It is not John Lodge singing. This version is well done. Fresh voice. I just wish Eddie Vedder sing this song

[@jeffcarroll6553]

Doesn't have the register for either Jon or Justin.

[@sogent56]

Just not the same tho.

[@jamesmaass8929]

How could it be really?

[@jannijhof2083]

During the active years it was normal each member sang the songs they wrote themselfes, just a few exceptions. Justin still restricts to his own songs (except one Pinders, which by then Mike has aked him te sing it. I think it would fit John to have the same limitation, his own MB-music is really good enough. This version of Nights is "just a cover" , more comparable with f.i. the Go Now-band. If I would have the chance to join a Lodge-concert I would hope for Just a Singer, Isn't Life Strange, Gemini Dream, Words you say ...etc. And I wished that once the'd come together, just to record some Ray Thomas songs ...

[@senamartinec7328]

@@jannijhof2083 I really appreciate your thoughtful and respectful comment regarding John’s inclusion of NIWS at his concerts and I do agree with you. John’s son in law Jon Davison has a lovely voice but Nights is an iconic song tied to Justin and his amazing, unique voice. John Lodge is an absolute legend in his own right and I hope he keeps performing for many years to come. His catalog of music is vast and wonderful and his current band is great. Some people have suggested that it’s a matter of respect to leave Justin’s songs for him to perform as he is still touring. You’re right, Justin does his own songs that he wrote while in the band or his solo work. Either way I love the Moody Blues and miss their concerts but thankfully John and Justin are still delivering stellar performances for us. I wish them all the best.

[@grahamcracker659]

this is scare, my cat sad

[@carolbellas4233]

It could be worse John himself could have tried to sing it His voice had seen better days

[@tonycanaris1778]

Wrong style voice. Doesnt fit

[@rlpd5218]

I agree they're both great but they're better as a team I wish these brits would stop arguing and just come together everybody's dead in the band they should embrace each other

[@ritajonesayers9968]

Nope

[@MK19021961]

This song can ONLY be sung by Justin Hayward! Shame on you Mr. John Lodge.

[@Johnnylund1]

Oh please. I’ve been singing it for years. My granddaughter sings it too. Grow up!

[@jamesmaass8929]

That was my first thought, but this is an awesome rendition. Let's put on our adult pants and realize taste is subjective, beauty in the eyes of the beholder etc. This is a beautiful version

[@lewisf9266]

Great rendition

[@derekmanning8831]

Davison nails it down pretty damn good .... 👍

[@JasonSmith-jr7jh]

Awwwww...sounds like SOMEBODY needs a hug!

[@ResearchSoundLab]

Okay look: this is going to sound harsh; however, it's well intentioned. Firstly- this was really interesting, to see this soundcheck/rehearsal, the equipment, the close up & real recording of what, even as a soundcheck, seemed to be the real deal. But nobody needs more praises here- it's not that constructive. Everything sounded amazing, except for one crucial element- the vocals. Not the singer, not missed notes... nothing like that. It's just the song is imprinted on the world with a more sonorous lyrical representation than is offered here- it's jarring to the consciousness, especially for those really familiar or fans of the Moody Blues. I'm trying to be somewhat gentle- as the singer/guitarist is obviously talented in both areas; however- should we not always strive to serve the song? The vocals come off thin & weak, & frankly- with the pining submissiveness of the lyrics- it's a treacherous precipice to take on, without falling into the crevasse of simp-dom. The long girly hair doesn't help the image- one could wager the fella has a brush he uses before bed each night- just like a school-girl. I know I sound insulting, but I'm honoring the masculinity, the manliness of the song. Notwithstanding, there's loads of girly-men who still love women & might long after them.... but let's not make this song a joke. So it's not personal- the guy is obviously brilliant- just not for this song, imo. Let's talk about a fix: Try double tracking him slightly. Something. Beef him up. I can't tell you he needs a haircut, but it doesn't serve the song- it looks weak & girly, with the thin pining vocals... So compensate or SOMETHING. Okay... you'll get away with it, with fans, for the most part... & I'm not looking for an imitation of Hayward. I'm just sayin'... with all the effort & wonderful embodiment of the song displayed... shore up this end. We're only as strong as our weakest point.

[@dominicdahlheimer6861]

YES THAT IS NOTHING BUT HARSH....

[@2visiondigital]

Perhaps one of the more bizarre comments. Long girly hair ???

[@ResearchSoundLab]

@@dominicdahlheimer6861 I said it would sound harsh... & you're 'surprised'? Must be a youngster.

[@alfinpogform4774]

Here's a link to Nights in White Satin featuring Justin Hayward who is also exhibiting girly-man hair - so if you are going to be dreaming with wistful self-restraint about a man brushing his hair before bedtime like a schoolgirl then it may as well be to the song's original author kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5u5hJh3jqumabs

[@ResearchSoundLab]

@@alfinpogform4774 No, doesn't compare. Context is king, & frankly- some people can pull it off- others, just can't. You're obviously concerned about hurting someone's feelings. Take honesty like a man. Dude looks prissy & sings whiny- it's really just that simple. It doesn't serve the masculine tenderness of the song- it's a mismatch, & it fails. Now, F off, kid.
