This version is NOT the original from the early 70's. It appears to be a re-mixed version.The original sounds better to my ears. And the First track "Procession" which runs into this track is basically an introduction to this song, and should be listened to as part of it.

Yeah, I was waiting for Jamel's reaction to the bass dropping at about the 1 minute mark of the video and it just wasn't there. I appreciate different versions once in a while but this is in no way the better version of this song.

Moody Blues are progressive rock geniuses.

[@hizzlemobizzle]

Yes

[@glorioskiola]

Yes!

[@willrichtor]

Geniuses yes, but not of prog. Geniuses of psychedelic pop-rock, elevating it to its highest form. You will never hear the controlled chaos of progressive jazz influences in the Moodies music. Their influences are pop, rock, blues and classical music. They transposed the sounds of pop, blues and rock over the sophisticated song structures found in classical music, and added a hint of psychedelia for good measure. Pink Floyd wasn't prog either, though they're often mislabeled as such. King Crimson was the wellspring of progressive rock in the UK. The thing that all three of these contemporaries have in common is their psychedelic leaning. Can you imagine living in the UK with those three bands on the rise?

This was my brother, Court's, favorite band. He passed away three years ago. He was on a pacemaker and only 15% of his heart worked and he was on a donor list. I bought him tickets for his birthday in his thirties. He was working on a car on jacks and an idiot "friend" kept sitting inside the car. My brother yelled at him to stop. He wouldn't, so my brother started to get from under the car, and he started to hear creaking as he was laying sideways, and the car came down and twisted his spine. Even in excruciating pain, HE MADE THE CONCERT!!! I worked event security and REALLY TRIED TO GET HIM BACKSTAGE. He was HAPPY ANYWAY and kept yelling, "OWW!" as tears of JOY streamed down his face as he clapped wildly. WE WERE LAUGHING and I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT MOMENT. 👏🎉😂 I woke up around 1:45 CST and am sitting here laughing in my bed as I LITERALLY FEEL the lung cancer tha spread to up my spne and into my brain, MELTING away as I talk to him. We are connected SPIRITUALLY. NO LIE. I AM ASTOUNDING DOCTORS AT VANDERBILT AND I WILL PUT TOGETHER PROGRAMS AND PACKAGES FOR CANCER PATIENTS TO BE BETTER INFORMED THAT ANYONE CAN GET IT WITH NO HISTORY AT ALL.

At the age of 12 a school mate played me 2 albums of his older brothers - "For Your Children's Children's Children" & "A Question Of Balance" - I loved both. My 13th birthday was coming up & I wanted one of those albums. I chose "For Your Children's ......." It was the very 1st album in my entire record collection. I'm now 64 and have all of The Moody Blues albums on vinyl & "For Your Children's ......" is still my favourite. I wore out the vinyl & had to buy it again, [ still before cd's came out ] - I later got the Deluxe 2cd set.

These Moody Blues songs are a MUST ~ LEGEND OF A MIND, and RIDE MY SEESAW. Moody Blues music, much like Jethro Tull, ALWAYS lifts me up and puts me in a great mood! Never heard a song by either band that brought me down. The vocals on this version are VERY odd, almost like this is an early version that they redid, because the album version I'm familiar with sounds nothing like this, vocally. You should seek out other uploads of this song and you'll likely find a better one. However, I'm VERY elated that you're going down the Moody Blues rabbit hole, it's an extremely enjoyable experience! They are my favorite band.

Definitely a different mix than the version on the album Every Good Boy Deserves Favour (which is my favorite Moody Blues album). Wikipedia says it was released as a single first, and then put on the album, so the version I'm familiar with from the album was probably remixed. The Moody Blues were known for thought provoking lyrics, hence the story you read about what prompted John Lodge to write I'm Just a Singer in a Rock and Roll Band. For more of their thought provoking lyrics, I suggest: Question kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6mycpupo8yAr8U The Word and Om kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGSZoIWXeqtnoKM Isn't Life Strange kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4mugad8r9yDo8k Legend of a Mind kzbin.info/www/bejne/ini8hop-mstmf9U and The Voice kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5qzq36YiZdkjMU For videos, I would strongly suggest you do these versions of Your Wildest Dreams kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZ7QgXmooNqDp5I and I Know You're Out There Somewhere kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZusnnmPm5eJsMU back to back. They are much later in the band's discography, and were released two years apart on different albums, but the video director decided to tie them together as a story, which works. I agree with a previous commentator who said to do Procession merging in to The Story In Your Eyes from the album. Procession is a history of evolution set to music. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2eod6yqgpamrq8 It has a reprise on the B side, as part of the song One More Time to Live: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpjEc3qgirWMotU

No matter how loud my car stereo already is, I always turn it WAY up when this song comes up as I listen to the album. Let's see if I can hear it this time without crying...

It a great tune from a another epic classic rock outfit. Justin Hayward had one of the greatest voices.

Holy Cow, I have been an Moodys fan since I was a teenager (long time, I'm 50)! I LOVE your reaction to this. To me, their music, sound, thoughts and messages transcend decades. Thank you so much for reacting this wonderful band!!!!!

Got to see Moody Blues induction into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, this is one of my favorites of theirs! Thanks Jamel, you are playing the music I love & sharing. Love this journey with you,

Please react to Robin Trower Trio "Bridge of Sighs".

[@bethmerryfield7186]

Totally agree on Robin Trower. I was blessed to see him live in a small kansas city bar a long time.
