Justin Hayward - "Dawning Is The Day" (Live)

[@user-il2bn2pi2i]

How can one adequately thank you for all the music you and the Blues have given us? Your music will be eternal and the songs you've given us are treasures that will never grow old as we, your fans will.

[@terineely1123]

A lifetime Moody Blues fan, this is one of my favorite of all their tunes. We miss Ray and Graham terribly and their live shows which I'd seen countless times over the decades. Justin is my favorite of all song writers and I am a musician and songwriter. Many years ago, my mother, who also loved The Moody Blues, commented on a song I had written and said it sounded like something Justin Hayward would write. My response? You couldn't have paid me a higher compliment! My wife, Teri, was and is a big fan and sings with me. We've done Moody Blues tunes in our gigs over the years.

[@marylougreige2222]

I am so grateful. Praise God. I was so very young when my sister left me the nights in White satin album when she moved my older sister. And you know something just never stopped and I bought my brother five cassettes from Bradley‘s OK cause I was so into the Moody blues and he needed to have this in his life because you know I live in the city and he was still at home anyway it goes from there and you know what I love love love my Moody blues the lyrics are exceptional every member of that beautiful band brings tears to my eyes I love you

This is the song that our senior class voted for as the theme music for our Senior Prom. 1971.

I’m 57, your music has been a part of my life about as long as i can remember..., thank you.

[@andrewhanson5942]

Oh my God that was lovely! Justin we're not the fresh faced lads we were in the 1960's, but the spiritual richness of your compositions have lost nothing in the intervening time. This is music with message that will outlive us both.

[@lindafox7506]

And such a beautiful voice!

[@andrewhanson5942]

@@lindafox7506 Yes indeed! I got your reply in an e-mail and opened this up again for another listen. I'll stick with "lovely"! And it is a very well packaged live performance, better than most you will find on KZbin. But thank you KZbin for supporting videos like this. If I have to live through a few commercials now and then, it's worth it!

Wow! That was tremendous. What a blessing that song became. To see Justin perform it perfectly at his age is amazing. Keep it up Justin. Your music will last forever.

[@muxux4]

I am not a musician. But in my opinion I give the Moody Blues its own category of Rock & Roll: Celestial. The kind you listen to, when you are in heaven!

[@ryanbrownnew]

yeah even the name 'moody blues' sounds like a genre of music.

[@josephinemoreno3135]

Justin is a musical genius!

[@pereraddison932]

... yes, The Moody Blues are a class act, existing in a uniquely progressive niche that is all of their own. Wonder-Full and Absolutely Magnificent. How such longingly sad music can be so magically uplifting, is beyond my ability to adequately describe and convey...

You know Mr. Hayward, you have a strong, controlled voice, yet when it’s time to sing soft, you’re voice is like cutting into soft butter….. so very gentle and light.

[@whisperingeagle]

50 years later and this song by justin still brings tears to.my eyes. God how i have loved the moody blues.

[@rickperrotta]

Hello Justin, I know you've probably heard this more times than you care to think about, but I want to let you know that you, your thoughtful writing and the work of the rest of the Moody's became the architecture of my life. I owe much of my career to the influence your music has had on me. So I humbly thank you.

[@michaelferreri1256]

Justin Hayward is one of the great songwriters of his time. I love all of his compositions, with the Moody’s, The Bluejays and as a solo artist. Such fabulous music.

[@pheresy1367]

oh yeah... so true, and me too! "Nights..." for me in 67 on the radio, but hardcore fan since 71. A neighbor girl played the 45 RPM version of Story in Your Eyes in the backyard for her 15th birthday party... I was smitten (by the song) and then immediately purchased every MB album available. I wasn't even invited to her B'party either

[@eddietheTruth11]

This man is a musical genius. The Tuesday Afternoon series is fantastic to watch and listen to. I am sure that Justin Hayward will be forever remembered as one of the best songwriters ever.

This is my very song sung by my very favorite group. I raised my children on a private island in the Bahamas and the sea surely spoke to us every single day. The tides, the wind p, the sky and the sea.

My beloved Mother loved Justin and the rest of the band so much (mostly Justin). I am grateful for the beauty and joy the Moody Blues have created for the world.

[@watson787]

Well, I'm 74 and still remember the Moody's making their mark on the music scene, in spite of the Beatles fame. I saw him recently, in the flesh, at the Bonus Arena Hull, doing his famous bit with 'Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds' live performance, revived for the '20's. Didn't realise he was so tall, but it was great to see HIM! Liam Neeson was on a slide film, talking through the 'war', with Jeff in the flesh too. It was very good, but my highlight was seeing Justin 'live'. I know he's been touring the States, but wish he would tour the UK again. He's just a fantastic singer and song writer-cum-performer, and such a nice guy. He's never 'spoilt' himself, like the Beatles did, and fame never changed him. What a gentleman and a lovely guy.

[@rmoore1686]

We love you, Justin. Your beautiful songs and your beautiful voice through the decades have helped your listeners so much.

The only true lifeline is Jehovah God. You won't learn about him in Christendom's churches, who took his name out their bibles in over 7,000 instances as Rome took over the then depleted 'brand' for their own purposes. "Seek Jehovah while he may yet be found" - who makes Jehovah's name known today? John 17

I was an adolescent when the Moody Blues were hitting the charts. They were my brother's favorite band. He was four years older than me and I was sill listening to bubblegum rock and did not recognize the artistry of their music. Through the years i have come to appreciate their music and recognize its artistry. I consider the Moody Blues and their music as uniquely one of a kind and absolutely great.

[@joeturner6192]

Hello Justin! I regret not writing to collectively as a group to express my sentiments and appreciation for your music. I realize there were all various talents that subliminally entwined to present us with your kaleidoscope music. I have to say it is THE most pertinent and positive gift I've had in my life. It takes my soul and spirit and takes to to the depths of inner earth to over the rainbow, into the galaxies and rests me back into the serenity of my presence. I cannot give you enough accolades and I'm sure thousands share my thanks for having the benefit of enjoying and living your music. You are the trip without Timothy. 🙂

[@donfleming9886]

We had only 3 albums in Vietnam. When there were brief respites from the madness, DOFP was my go-to music. The music of the MB’s was integral to my forced transition from boy to man and has remained so throughout my life. I own all of it and have seen them in concert so many times, I lost track. Three are etched in my memory though. I saw them in Oklahoma and for the first time heard “Meanwhile” live. Such a great song. Another was at Bass Hall in Ft. Worth. When the intro to “One More Time to Live” was played I started to cry and my wife placed her hand on mine and smiled. We love that song so much and had never heard it live. The third time was the night Timothy Leary died. They were in Houston. As much as I love the Moodies I have never cared for “Legend of a Mind” live. It just lost something in the transition. Somehow, it seemed different that night. RIP Ray and Graeme. Thank you for the music. I plan on seeing Justin for the final time on May 14 in Dallas. I am taking my son with me again. We saw him the last time he was in Dallas with Mike and Julie and it was such an enjoyable evening. Can’t wait
