Moody Blues - Tuesday Afternoon -Jay Leno Tonight Show

[@andrewmorton7482]

Imagine the thrill. You write this song as a 19 year old kid and, all these years later, there's a small orchestra behind you and guys who've played it with you for years, to a nationwide audience. What could be better?

[@Johnny35130]

There was a small orchestra on the studio version,London Festival or something similar.

[@lissaline]

Justin's voice never changes. He sounds today just as he did in this video, which sounds just as good as he did at the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970. amazing!

[@cidspimms]

That's because perfection never changes; the man was blessed w/ a perfect voice.

[@cosmo1eleven855]

Well, not quite as good as the Isle of Wight concert. They were totally on top of their game at that time. Justin was young and looked like a Rock Superstar and his voice was really strong. But yeah, I feel 'ya.

I LOVE LOVE THE MOODY BLUES!! Justin's voice is so beautiful ..he's breathtaking to me...I had the pleasure of seeing them in concert here in VB late 90s...what a phenomenal concert I have ever seen...couldn't sleep when I got home because it was so fantastic...Rest in peace dear Ray and Graeme...your fans love and miss you..I love you all

How exciting to see the Moody's on Jay Leno's show in the states.🌹

[@mikedehel3413]

I grew up the moodies , everytime I hear or see them, not afraid to say it I get tears in my eyes

[@SpectorTippy]

I'm with you. Their music had such profound meaning. Not only was the music itself incredible, but the words to the music told a story. When I think of genius artists, I think of The Moody Blues.

[@conniecrawford6429]

I'm glad you weren't embarrassed to tell your true feelings. Women like that about a man. This band is in my soul.

[@morningdove20]

Ur not Alone Mike. Me too... 😤♥️

[@Godskingdomwithin]

SpectorTippy. Yes, it spoke to me some 50 years ago when I was young and in the middle of a profound spiritual awakening; “. “I’m just beginning to see, now I’m on my way, it doesn’t matter to me chasing the clouds away, Something calls to me, The trees are drawing me near, I’ve got to find out why, Those gentle voices I hear, Explains it all in a sigh,”. These lyrics and music validated an experience I was going through back then, and I didn’t feel alone on my own journey. I could see, or rather, hear that this band, or some of its members, were also on the same wavelength!

[@glorioskiola]

I just cried my eyes out over Blue Guitar.

[@designsonyouinparis]

My favorite singer, songwriter, group & song of all times! What joy!

[@GWACK53]

THE MOODYS' were so far ahead of the time; it took so many years for many to recognize this great band. Just listen to the body of work they've left for us!

[@davidroberts7282]

Pink Floyd asks why you didnt consider them in this category or conversation when you made these comments?

[@mpreiss7780]

@@davidroberts7282 Because Pink Floyd was recognized very quickly as one of the best ever.

The prosthetic leg story is probably one of my all time favorites he's ever told. Just saw Justin a few weeks ago and he still sounds great.

[@chrishunt808]

I never tire of these songs. Long may they continue 😊😊😊

[@131IQ]

Last time I saw them was in 1992 Harrahs, Lake Tahoe, NV. Best Moody Blues show I ever saw. The stage, the orchestra, the back up singers, the band all looked and perfomed phenomenomally. This band is one of my all time favorites and you can tell they love performing for their fans. When Justin sings it's as if he is singing just to you.

[@conniecrawford6429]

I love their music. Stops me in my tracks everytime I hear them. I still have a crush on the singer after all these years. One of my favorite bands.

I didnt realize that Justin Heyward was born same day as my father. No wonder he was such a big fan. I remember him playing "Days of future past" for me when I was 14. I was listening to Twisted Sister (or Quiet Riot) and he laid this on me. Totally blew me away. Fan ever since.

[@martron1962]

I have been a fan since I was a child. I got to see The Moody Blues in 1981 when an unknown (at the time) guitar player open for them by the name of Stevie Ray Vaughan, who just blew the crowd away, and again in 2012. What’s really is it would be the last time I will ever see a Moody Blues concert, as Ray Thomas and Graham Edge are no longer with us, and the remaining members have decided to call it a wrap. The closest we will ever come is going to see Justin when he is on a solo tour, John Lodge also tours on his own but, without Justin, I’ll pass.

[@ConnieB-ig4ds]

I noticed a standing ovation

[@LadyRanger]

time traveler great title and ahead of their time wonderful sounds that can bring emotion to ones soul

[@TheGmcFilms]

One of the secrets to The Moody Blues is the way the vocal harmonies are phrased in either lying low at the end or ending high at the end as both styles sound as if they are reaching into the future...Aaaaaaa - high at the end...Oooooo - low at the end, both styles reaching beyond into the ether, plus the echo and the reverb is classic sixties genius. Brian Wilson had this down as well...G...

..his point was that the recording is all on the right side..

[@jduff59]

The Moody's music sounds so orchestral and complex, but it's just really nice, clean pop music - they just have the chops and voices to make it shine. The Mellotron sounds like an army of musicians, too. How many bands survive losing their lead singer and come back even better? Rare.

[@Starrman69]

Ahh, Ray Thomas was still with them for this appearance. Great Band!! Justin, John and Graeme are still out there performing. Hall of Fame doesn't know talent, especially with some of those people they allowed in. The Moody Blues should have been in YEARS AGO!!

[@doula2010]

Wow-thanks for bringing up the headphones because I thought mine were broken. I don't think the vocals were that great because it was recorded off of an analoge TV. Anyhow-agree with everyone about the Hall of Fame. These guys really deserve their own special category. I truly believe that they saved the sanity of many guys who were drafted into the Vietnam War and came home to still more insanity. Teenagers in high school these days can not imagine what it was like then -the draft into war.

[@limericklimejuice3358]

Are they in the Hall of Fame....yet!?!?!?

[@markstallman2999]

They are not in the Hall of Fame. That organization is to consumed with being politically correct to induct real talent such as the moodies. A real shame!

[@ROADAPPLE756]

Mark Stallman Or the Guess Who?!?

[@cate4310]

No! The have never been nominated. According to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Committee and other fellow musicians from different genres, they agreed that the Moody Blues "lacked" the Rock and Roll edge" I think that sucks. The Moody Blues have given us some of the most beautiful music. They are not rock and roll, but they are worthy of getting in to the Hall of Fame. I love this song, especially.

[@TedBronson1918]

Cate Stone lack the rock n roll edge eh? THEY lack the ability to see further than their limited version of rock n roll. Rock has taken many forms through the years and what can be said of the Moody Blues, that cannot be said of them, is that they have their own distinct sound that has the ability to bring in classical music, and make a blend that is both pleasant and uplifting spiritually. All of us older hippy types classed their music as rock n roll- even if it wasn't limited to guitars and drums. Keep the old fogey musicians and their biases out of the nominations and the fans would put them there in a heartbeat- especially when you compare it to some of the groups that HAVE made it in that I never even heard of. The millions and millions of record sales and sold out concerts speak for themselves. The Moody Blues deserve a spot in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and are still proving it 50 plus years later. Shame on those crusted old "in the box" thinkers. You'd think a rocker would know better. They've become as limited in their thinking as we all complained about our parents and elders of being (sorry for the confused language there, but you get the idea.).

[@cate4310]

I read an article that stated the lacked the edge to get into the Hall of Fame. They really are not Rock and Roll. But like I said before, they are one of the best 70s bands. I don't know the right word to describe their music, except AWESOME. Whatever, eh?

[@billtwine4452]

The artificial leg was thrown in a concert in Hampton, VA. Early 80's. Ray Thomas remarked that a lot of crazy shit had been thrown on stage, but this was the craziest.

It's the Moody-freaking-Blues, and they have gone to the trouble to bring along an orchestra to take Pinder's place and sound like people expect them to sound, AND they sing freaking "Tuesday Afternoon," one of the all-time greatest songs, and JAY LENO GIVES THEM THE BUM'S RUSH! Six minutes total for the song and interview! Wow, thanks Jay, are you sure you can you spare it?

[@josephthomas9052]

I saw them several years ago in Daytona Beach and they were, as usual, awesome. I saw them again two years ago in Orlando and the show was very disappointing. The sound engineering was way off...instruments were crashing loud which forced the vocals to scream the songs. The songs we love and have heard for many years was unrecognizable.
