Now here’s a guy that can recognize real music when he hears it! Nights in White Satin is a musical masterpiece!

[@ericbatemanrodgers]

Happy to see another generation enjoying the music I grew up with

[@douglasstrother6584]

Indeed! This was "Pop Music" on the radio when I was a kid.

[@wm565]

The look you had when the song started said it all. And you were intently watching this all the way through. You definitely know good music when you hear it.

[@suepall5425]

When I watch young people watch music like this I realize how fortunate I was to be born in 1960 and to have grown up during the 60's and 70's. By the time I was 18, I'd heard some of the best music ever written simply by turning on my radio. I actually can't remember the first time I heard Nights in White Satin and so its imbedded in my soul as something that has always existed, much like songs like Stairway to Heaven and so much more. How lucky my generation was. And at the time, we took it all for granted.

[@Bobbiegirl27]

Your facial expressions as you experience the masterpiece of The Moody Blues is priceless!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@davemeyer1423]

Congratulations.. You have discovered the magic of the Moody Blues. Unlike anything before or after.

[@Tribblepuppy]

One of the great rock songs ever written. We were stunned by its beauty when it first came out. There is a part missing from this version, so you need to listen to the studio version to hear the whole thing.

[@fridaylong2812]

Yes. I so hate it when videos cut it short.

[@honorsilverthorne7227]

Yes indeed; the full studio version is better anyway. 🌷

[@whazzuphere]

The full album version from "The Days of Future Passed" is fabulous. The entire album is worth a listen.

[@aturtle7424]

NO

Yep deep greef..the poem

[@graymouser6599]

This is one of those songs where even when you try, you can't imagine it being any other way ... no other possible melody, no other possible arrangement, no other possible instrumentals ... it's just as perfect as a song can get.

[@sulathenewfie4277]

Correct… there is a reason no one has covered it… at least none successfully because I haven’t heard it…

[@maryhuhnke8496]

There's Only one Justin Hayward!! And he's Still going!

[@johnniekight1879]

This was a hit in '67 and again in the early 70's. A rare feat.

[@jazzmaan707]

My girlfriend gave me the album as a gift when it came out, and I did not know who they were, so I did not play the album. 3 Years later, I finally opened that album and listened to it. I was completely blown away, and have been a Moody since 1972. Their music comforted me during my time in the service and Vietnam. Yeah, they are great! Hope you listen to the full version on the album. You will not be disappointed.

[@sophiedash4026]

I buried my brother today... And tonight you brought this song back to me. I can't stop crying, but I have to thank you JB. "Because I love you!!!" Such a primal scream. 💕

This whole album is amazing! The Moody Blues tells some very interesting stories with some amazing music! I've loved them for half a century now lol. Try "The Story in Your Eyes" (full version! There's some powerful poetry in the prologue!)

[@tommhill9948]

The proper listen is “Procession/Story in your Eyes”. MBs are a concept album band - one of the most musical and enduring- nicknamed The Veteran Cosmic Rockers.

I've listened to this song countless times over the years, and I still get choked up every time.

[@smeghead5021]

Your face listening to this is an absolute picture 😍 It’s a truly beautiful song! ❤️🥰

[@oldschool72]

Moody Blues were considered psychedelic rock back in my day. Justin Hayward's voice has more power with age and this sounds even better than their first release in 1967. Sadly the flutist Ray Thomas passed away in 2018 at the age of 76 and Co Founder and Drummer Graeme Edge passed away in 2021 at the age of 80. lead singer Justin Hayward is 75. Great reaction as always...

[@huchlvr]

I had forgotten Graeme had passed away. It's amazing that Justin is 75. He doesn't look it. And yes, his voice (like the recently passed Gary Booker) improved with age. There is more richness and depth in it.

[@kathyborthwick6738LakotaEmoji]

Moody Blues - have every album- Amazing Artists 🦅🔥🦅🔥🦅🔥

[@mmille10]

Listen to the extended studio version. There's a poetry section (starts out "Breathe deep the gathering gloom..."), and then there's a little something extra added to the big finish. On KZbin this version is called "The Night".

[@subwaygoddess1]

I loved watching your reaction. Your face was filled with wonder! The Moody Blues are a classic rock band. My favorite song by them is "The Story In Your Eyes" ✌️🎶

[@dctbass]

When I saw the start of the video, I noticed this was a live version, not the studio cut and I thought it might not be so good, but MAN, they brought their A-game!!! And the sound is phenomenal on the headphones I am listening on. The bass is really driving and melodic - perfect. I am not surprised how moved you were.

[@cocoemrick1903]

I'm with you.

[@jimbennett8036]

My introduction to them was when my sister gave me their album Seventh Sojourn for a birthday gift. I had the pleasure of attending one of their concerts when I was stationed in Hawaii in 1974. The concert hall had great acoustics and that flute sounded great from anywhere in the place. At the end of the first song they did the flute player suddenly noticed that there were people up behind the stage in the balcony. For the rest of the concert he faced that balcony which is were me and my date were seated. That poetry really gets to me now when he says "senior citizens wish they where young"'. I am mow 70. They had some great albums, Seventh Sojourn, Days of Future Past, To Our Children's Children's Children, Every Good Boy Deserves Favor.

[@stephenmelone8589]

The singer wrote this to a girl in high school. Never sent it but eventually married her and still is .

[@yougotmossed3592]

You are right. Doesn’t get better than this. Hauntingly beautiful.

[@mikemiller3069]

Other great Moody Blues songs include, "Question", "The Story In Your Eyes", "The Voice", "Your Wildest Dreams" and others.

Beautiful yes? "Just what you want to be, you will be in the end." I lift up my arms and visualize sending waves of love accross the world with the chorus and when I need it I imagine the waves coming back to me. Lately I've needed it. Love never dies. 🎵☮️💜🤘

[@SouthernArtist77]

I am seriously addicted to this song, hardcore. My late husband took me to see them on Mud Island in Memphis, small venue, very intimate and so nice and beautiful. It was a midsummer night I will never forget as long as I live.

[@bobmessier5215]

If you should decide to listen to their whole albums you will discover that they were perhaps the first rock band to use orchestral arrangements and spoken poetry in their music and sound. Their debut album in 1967 (this tune is on it), "Days of Future Passed" is legendary and meant to be listened to as a whole concept album experience about a single day from morning until night.

[@randy8297]

"The Magnificent Moodies" in 1965 was their first album on Decca Records. "Days" was their first on Deram Records and with an updated line-up in 1967.

[@bobmessier5215]

@@randy8297 You are probably right, I vaguely recall it didn't sell, but I read somewhere that they recorded the hit , "Go Now" with Denny Laine as the lead singer of The Moody Blues and no album for it. Laine left or was fired just before Justin Hayward joined and they made "Days". Laine about a decade later would join Paul McCartney and Wings.

[@janiscureton4076]

“Breathe deep the gathering gloom”

[@stephentustin5766]

I've been to 4 Moody Blues concerts. But the best was when they were accompanied by a full orchestra. Even the 95 degree heat couldn't spoil it. Try reviewing their concert at Red Rocks in Colorado.

Red Rocks has the best acoustics. So many artists have recorded there. The Moody Blues from there is outstanding!

[@larryrucker]

@@marktrail8624 Quite a few of us bought it when it first came out in 67, I got mine in 68. The album went to #2 on the charts in 1972 with sales of over 1 million, and was the second time it had charted in the US and the UK. I know a lot of friends in the military bought it, as you could hear it playing in the dorms in 69 and 70.

[@josejordan2803]

I first heard this song with my aunt when I was about 5. And I immediately fell in love with the song. I first saw them in concert when I was 30. Just like you said, tears ran down my face at hearing them live. It was just so beautiful how the song went. I'm so glad you heard this song JB. Awesome!!!

[@tommhill9948]

I’ve seen them live 22 times together and as solo acts from 1988-2018. Never disappoint! R&R HOFS!

[@lindazee]

What a beautiful memory to have. It's amazing how the soul of a 5-year-old can grasp and be so deeply moved by a work of art, such as a piece of music like Nights in White Satin. People need to stop underestimating the understanding and depth of a child. They are truly capable humans who "get" it. I remember my own childhood moments. In my case, when I first heard "Rhapsody in Blue", I remember how deeply moved I was. It made such a huge impression on me, even though I had the musical knowledge or life experience of a mere child. Our spirits just know!

[@mstewart109]

Moody Blues was of my teen years . Such an amazing talent. Justin Haywards vocals emit goosebumps .. especially this song. Late 60 and the 70s were the era of music that was stellar. Mind boggling stuff. I am stuck in this era to this day.( 63 yrs old music lover)

[@rebeccataylor8981]

J, your little intake of breath just a few seconds in said it all. The flute, the wails, the gorgeous crescendos...interspersed with those soft instrumental interludes that can lull you to sleep. It's one of the most beautiful mixes of rock and orchestra ever.

[@butterfly-bw6cx]

I first heard this when I was 15 (I'm 70 now) and have travelled along the Moodies highway for all my life. I just wish I could hear it for the first time again. But then, having heard it over a thousand times it still gives me goosebumps. Also, I understand your reaction......beautiful music isn't it?

[@thomasboroughs201]

JB I'm glad to have found your channel 2 years ago. Your appreciation, your reactions are wonderful to see. You seem a kind and decent human being. The 1st reaction i saw was your Pavarotti Nessun Dorma, that one really effected me. I have shared that reaction with many friends and they were as moved as I was. Thanks for your channel.

I'm sixty. I discovered the Moody Blues as a teenager, and have been listening to them ever since. Their first seven albums are legendary. Long Distance Voyager is also excellent. Sadly, nothing they did after that is worth listening to, but those first seven albums are masterpieces. This song is from "Days of Future Passed".

[@victorjohnson2413]

Amazing band, love ur reaction. They're up there with Yes & Pink Floyd as far as intricate compositions. ♥️💯😎

[@boosuedon]

At the end here the drummer recites a poem while the orchestra provides back ground music that even at 19 years old I found thought provoking: " Breath deep the gathering gloom, watch lights fade from every room. Bedsitter people sit back and lament, another days useless energy spent. Impassioned lovers wrestle as one, lonely man cry out for love but has none. New mother picks up and suckles her son, senior citizens wish they were young! Cold hearted orb, that rules the night, removes the colors from our sight, red is gray and yellow white, bur WE decide which is right, and which is an illusion." That was powerful stuff back in 1968! A lot of hits came off of that album!

[@kaylzshter6153]

I saw them twice in concert...just as awesome as recording. Great orchestration and special effects. Still one of my favorite groups. 🥰

[@signal12hvac]

so i commented before i listened and now after seeing your reaction, there is a lot to say. even after listening to the Moodies everyday since 1968, many of their songs still can bring a tear to my eyes. 16 studio albums, numerous solo albums and 7 concept albums in a row, the Moodies were considered the worlds smallest orchestra with the 5 of them playing up to 33 instruments on an album. many of their great songs have a Prelude song to them so the first seven albums should be played in full with headphones and a dark room. i enjoyed your reaction and have subscribed

[@donaldakin492]

"Breathe deep the gathering gloom..." Back in the early 1970s I would burrow deep under the bed covers late at night, holding my mono radio very close to my ear so as not to wake my younger brother or anyone else in the house, and wait for the local rock station to play this song, wondering how any piece of music could be so magical and mysterious. You really do need to hear the complete studio version, with the poetic reading at the end, which starts with the line in quotations above. But more importantly, please don't ever lose the honesty and wonder of your reactions, JB...to both music and life.

[@erinevans9113]

🥺 Gets me every time

[@patticrichton1135]

This always reminds me of my Junior year at Kent State, when I was with some friends in an off campus student apartment, and we all listened to their "Days Of Future Passed" together (which Nights in White Satin is on) and for some reason it is THIS song from the album, that takes me back to that room, that night. I can picture it in my mind. The lights were dim and we had a few candles lit, and most of us were sitting cross legged on the floor. A few of us got teary eyed (me included) and had the same chills you had, JB. It is a very vivid memory for me. I was lucky enough to see them live in concert a few years ago, and it was one of the best concerts I have ever seen. The lighting was beautiful, not flashy, the whole show was like watching and listening to a piece of art. To this day this song will make me tear up and remember that day when I was 20 years old and in college. LOVE YOUR reaction JB. You are the BEST!

[@cathyhensley3349]

Yours is my favorite reaction to this song. I cried when I heard them in concert and still get misty eyed when I hear it. Ahhh 🎉. I sooths my heart

I found you on KZbin a few years ago before the huge influx of reaction channels flooded the platform. Glad to be seeing you more, once again. I always remembered what a sincere and genuine reactor and reviewer you are, and I'm glad to see that, despite whatever challenges you may have been experiencing these last couple of years, your natural, unpretentious sincerity is still your hallmark. You're one of the very few who has this quality in your approach. Please don't ever lose that, and know that it is very valuable because it's sadly rare.

May 24, 1997 The Moody Blues played at the George Washington Ampitheater. I got to attend it with me daughter and her Mom and as we huddled and listened to them play this song we snuggled under a blanket and where swept away. It was a magical night and many where in tears when they left.
