LOVE The Moody Blues❤ No group like them! They are so wonderful ❤️ Loved them back when they started and love them still ❤

[@IAmWithinEverything]

10/2022 My all time favorite band. I’m 69 now and this music brings back beautiful memories always ❤

[@LiberTBo]

The Moody Blues are my personal favorite band of all time. Ray Thomas inspired me to begin playing the flute. My wife Lynn-Ellison Hill bought me a Geminhardt silver flute for Christmas in 1971 and I learned how to play "Nights In White Satin" ....I still have that flute today in 2017....I will cherish the flute, my memories of her and pass them all on to my grandchildren ....

[@DeniseChew]

Terrance Hill, my father worked at Geminhardt in Elkhart Indiana as a flute finisher in 1971. It's very possible that he finished your flute. I still have the flute he built for me.

[@glenndespres5317]

OMG. Just when I thought I would not see any video of the Moody Blues I hadn’t seen. This.... THIS! Oh, my.. i would give my right arm to have been at this gig! Just let me keep my legs so I could join those beautiful people on the dance floor to Peak Hour!!! 14:39 I am 64 but watching that made me feel 18 again! What a scene. It’s like the Moody Blues play the Psychedelic Shack!! Edge channeling Keith Moon! This is Everything! Thank you soooo much for posting!

The Moody Blues just jamming. Justin was singing in a totally different style than in later years. Ray was dashing. They were having a great time.

[@jeanne2221]

Absolutely loved their version of Don't Let Me be Misunderstood. Justin did it great. Nights is my favorite always.

[@carolbellas4233]

He did a great version of the song but it wasn't meant to be a ballad but still great 👍 👍

[@angelomisterioso]

A critical point in their careers. The whole ''psychedelic era thing'' came at exactly the right time for the Moodies. After Days of future past, they hopped on that train and the rest is history.

[@designerlarry]

If you weren't sure who did the falsetto high notes- you can see it's been John Lodge

I am a huge Moody Blues but have never heard that third song - a good surprise.

[@raminagrobis6112]

There are a couple of psychedelic numbers that sound definitely more interesting than a lot of the stuff they released in rhe 21st century to date. I wonder if that material has ever been made available. The guys certainly knew how to loosen up and groove a brilliant atmosphere back then!

[@Qrayon]

They released stuff in the 21st century?

0:00 Fly me High (the crowd didn't mind hearing it twice! This time, there's actual dancing). 3:15 I've Got a Dream (cover of an obscure single by The Soul Brothers. Sung by Denny Laine on the first MB album "The Magnificent Moodies"). 6:47 Beautiful Dream (unreleased song by John Lodge, never recorded in the studio. Kind of early Pink Floyd-ish!) 11:00 Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood (cover of a Nina Simone song. They had done it for the BBC in 1967, but never properly recorded in the studio). 14:30 Peak Hour (has this been misedited?) 20:40 Nights in White Satin (again, a 2nd performance. Applause and dancing this time!)

what a fantastic film! it gives you a high just watching this,when a band is this good the vibe is infectious i would loved to have been at this gig the french girls are gorgeous as only they can be i used to pine after a french girl who had the looks of a young jane birkin! where did it all go wrong we have lost the joy of life that was around at that time.

[@richieboy6825]

mark beresford you’re right man. People smiled differently then. There was an innocence and emotional freedom that’s very rare now. I try to recapture it every day & I’m not giving up!!

[@timothyparsons8327]

As a schoolboy during this era the music of the time fascinated me...it was a time of innovation and experimentation, if one could pass by the cheesy chart topping hits...I absolutely adored the likes of Homburg by Procol Harum. Amazingly I didn’t discover the Moody Blues till 1982, thanks to a friend who lent me two albums...Days Of Future Passed And Seventh Sojourn. I taped them both and every day for the next few months I played them in the car, having clocked up thousands of miles! Even though I “missed” the Moodies back in 1967/8 etc. The sound transposed me back to those times, (as in my subconscious I was reliving it all...it certainly has stayed with me all these decades later).

I had no idea they still played the "old numbers" by 1968. I thought there had been a total rupture after Laine and Warwick left. I've Got a Dream is one of my favourite early Moodies songs. This is precious!

[@garethbelk4065]

unbelievable been a moodies for too short a time but that is the best rock gig i`ve seen live or dead!! I have to admit i thought the frenchies had no soul for rock music but that audience is grooving and shacking their pretty butts to the max. The guy in the glasses should be given a rare thing, a knighhood from us brits coooooooll

[@lawrencehamm1478]

This music from 1968, compared to the band before Justin and John Lodge, definitely shows how that the new band members influenced the songwriting of Pinder and Thomas later on.

[@wd3647]

Spot on, the mellotron Pinder years with Ray’s haunting flute were the best. Got a little too safe rock latterly

[@rosemaryscott9704]

Justin's voice was so good, even for his young age at that time. No wonder he was picked as their new lead singer ❤

What an outstanding video. So much better than most TV rock music at the time, no hokey go go dancers or weird "pop" sets, just a small audience and band with great camera work. And of course the performance is stellar. looks like a few audience members may have been having a personal peak hour.

I don't think this is from 1968, maybe broadcasted in 1968, but recorded halfway 1967. What is this shiny box on top of Mike's mellotron? Maybe a sort of tape delay?

Yeah, by July '68 they had two albums' worth of new material, so I don't think they'd be doing so much of the "beat" and blues material. I was thinking '66 or '67.

Check out the yon (J. Blavatsky ref.) teen at 15:40 playing air drums and dancing at the same time. He'll dance with just about anybody- just keep a safe distance- you don't want to get to get biffed in the head in all the rock and roll madness, And check out the rock and rock and roll Clark Kent. Aside from some choppy editing, I think The Moodies changed Peak Hour a little bit. Quite forgiving- this vintage concert is cool.
