My brother had all the Moody Blue albums so awesome yesteryear high school memories from 1970 - 1973 and also college 😉

Riding a heavy hitter in 1974. Cranking on the power and seeing the air around can relate to the time and space . It was a great time for use. Me and the peyote....Sweet the spirits are among us.Thank the internal frequency I have lived.

I used to get off the school bus, in about 1968, and run as fast as I could through the pasture at my grandparents farm in West Texas listening to Ride My Seesaw on my transistor radio. Freedom was awesome after being locked up in school all day!

It was 1969. I was 14. I had a stereo and a Moody Blues album. Life was sweet like rain.

Listening to MoodyBlues albums is like living in JRR Tokien books

i was in a bad spot when I got home form VN. Angry, disassociated, depressed. I picked up on the Moody's. Listened, absorbed and thought. Listened to every album many times and after a while I got it. There is more to this life than we are taught. Examine your mind, be honest. The answers are there. I returned much wiser and lived a pretty good life on mostly my terms. In the early 90's, I lived a long dream. I saw them in concert in Chicago with Chicago. One of my best nights. I wonder how many people they helped to heal and grow like myself. Stay safe.

The poetic buildup to that rhythm is just .... awesome. Damn.

Ride My See-Saw, Nights in White Satin and Tuesday Afternoon...takes me to a place only those who've been there could describe.

Their music never gets old, even though we do.

Graeme all these years you were known for guarding the time and tempo of your fellow see saw riders but now still with sticks in hand you are at last free to say with the authority of the ages time is your life, tempo is your pleasure. You are released and free from the tyranny of the measure line old friend we'll see you at the coda.

[rayohanlon]

This song has an extraordinary pace to it. it is literally driven along by drums and bass, Edge and Lodge. Timeless and brilliant

[Carecare]

No Autotune. Just amazing voices and amazing musicians making fantastic music. The acoustics are spectacular.

My son was 4. My husband created a good sound system. My son would always ask me to play "see saw". He loved it. He told me he wished he could have grown up with our music. Well, hell he did!!!! That's all we just moody but Allman brothers, and alot of crazy hard rock groups.
He took his life 3yrs ago.

Saw The Moody Blues in 1988 @ Hershey, PA, absolutely the best concert I ever attended. The real life experience was just hanging out in the parking area until the crowd dissipated and the traffic wouldn't be such a drag, well as it was, my friends and I are right by the tour RVs & trucks, out comes Justin Heyward & John Lodge, we were awestruck and I being the extrovert, take up conversation with these two legends of music, idle chit chat some would say, hardly!!! Justin was amazed that this 23 year old upstart was so familiar and knowledgeable about all their music and quite taken with the influence it had on my life; I said I was exposed to many different genre'in music from Big Bands, C&W, Rock, Jazz, and I grew a great appreciation for all of it. ( Thank you dear Mom♥️), Seems like that experience was just last week against the nearly 30 years ago it was!! What gentlemen and affable these two were to some young fans! Nothing boorish or standoffish at all. Thanks for your great music lads!!!☯️👍

The Moody Blues were a seminal band. The lyrics, the music, the use of novel instruments and their relevance to the times were exceptional. They came, they sang and they left a lasting impression for the youth of their times.

East of the rockies you are on the air

[gwwayner]

I'm 73 now but I remember fondly listening to those early Moody Blues albums usually wacked on good acid with my friends back in the day. Always a good trip and the best highs of my life. The Moody Blues are a class act and deserve more recognition today.

i feel blessed to have music like this in my life we were the lucky ones
