Tuesday’s not gone…I just saw her post something on Face Book! 🙂

When 5 musicians actually played, live, who had thunk-ed,
add in a symphony decades later and still is even better real music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eptf55tmSiQ
TY MJA, great Tuesday!

This single was released in the summer of 1968. Oh, what a wonderful, happy, joyous period that was for me, and I think of it often, but it ended with the kind of despair that led to playing the Moody Blues over and over late at night.

A good song that I always liked. A unique sound, and a bit odd. It evokes some odd visions and feelings in me. Nothing bad, just odd.
Thank you so much for posting this – the Moody Blues was one of my favourite groups when I was in university, back in the early 70’s.

One of my favorite groups, and I could never figure out why they weren’t inducted into the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame until last year.

A friend of mine’s dad owned a car dealership so Jim always had nice rides, one of which was a fancy new 4-wheel drive Jeep with a monster stereo. We’d hop in that sucker, smoke a doobie, and take it out into the woods. I distinctly remember The Moody Blues DAYS OF FUTURE PAST blasting through the stereo as we ran over small trees and created mayhem in the environment. Those were the days!

This is still one of my favorite Moody Blues songs 50 years later. My best friend and I played all the Moody Blues albums to death back in the day. I do draw the line at On The Threshold Of A Dream, sitar music and TM and chanting Om doesn’t cut it for me.

Justin Hayward was obviously classically trained and blessed with talent, together they have made music I always return to when I get tired of whatever is ‘popular’. Music that always leaves me better for having listened. Have talked to people who think they are angels, who can say

The Moody Blues,the masters of inter space.
Pink Floyd the masters of outer space.
Saw both many times, always were good, and sounded just like their records.
It is a shame that more music and lyrics are not based on poetry, Old or new,no matter who wrote them.
Good is good and you know it when you hear it.

One of the best songs of all time. But like most music from the era, the studio version is superior to the live recording.

You can also put the band Renaissance as well as Al Stewart into the mix of great music from the 70’s. The gal who sang for Renaissance (Annie and I can’t remember her last name) had an incredible voice that went very well with their music. Yes does a very good cover of America by Simon & Garfunkel.

One of my all time favorite songs of that era is the long version of Time Has Come Today by The Chambers Brothers. And Thick As A Brick by Jethro Tull.
That’s one of the songs I sing and play on the git-stick about every day for a vocal warm up.
When our son was about 4 years old that track came on over a store radio — Ian said, “You’re on the radio!” And he promptly told all the people roving around that I was on the radio.
We had to explain to him that I am not The Moody Blues, nor am I Bob Seger, or Jethro Tull, or James Taylor, or the Eagles, or Robin Trower, or Eric Clapton. He was a bit confused.
But there is something to be said for my vocal imitation abilities, I guess.

Thanks @MJA big fan here.

@ Geoff – kick ass are the Moodies.
Ride My See Saw:
Saw this as part of a Laserium show a the Hayden Planetarium before they demolished it, 1979
I was enamored with classical and romantic music as a child (I still am). My father had a little monophonic leather clad tape deck and Beethoven’s Emperor, and Vivaldi’s Four Seasons on tape. Needless to say, if it wasn’t Beethoven or Vivaldi it was rubbish. And then I found my Mother’s “Ride My See-Saw” on 45. I don’t recall what was on the B side. My life was changed.

And I can’t forget The Righteous Brother’s B Side Blues.
And then I saw Joe Cocker, on film (I wasn’t born yet) at Woodstock. I was blown away again. I went from Beethoven to The Moody Blues, to the Righteous Brothers, to Leadbelly, to Traffic, to The Cream, to Santana, to Bloomfield, to Vaughan Williams, to SRV, to Dave Brubeck, to Chopin, to Rachmoninoff, to Holst, to Hendrix, to Clapton.
Outside the context of the album, I prefer the single version. It is short, concise, and too the point. Playing the album version as a stand-alone song is redundant.
I think my brothers and I helped make that a gold album. Between the three of us we had four copies.

I’m always a day late and a dollar short, as they say. lol
