Hey Lord, take a look around tonight
And find where my baby’s gonna be
Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
‘Cause she is far across the sea
Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
And make sure she’s gonna be alright
And things are gonna be alright with me

Hey Lord, would you look out for her tonight
And make sure all her dreams are sweet
Hey Lord, would ya guide her along the roads
And make them softer for her feet
Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
And make sure that she’s gonna be alright
Until she’s home in here with me

Hey Lord, would you look out for her tonight
If she is sleepin’ under the sky
Hey Lord, make sure the ground she’s sleepin’ on
Is always warm and dry
Hey don’t you give her too much rain
But try to keep her away from pain
‘Cause my baby hates to cry

Hey Lord, won’t you look out for her tonight
‘Cause it gets rough along the way
Said Lord, if this song sounds strange
It’s just because I don’t know how to pray
So won’t you give her peace of mind
And if you ever find the time
Won’t you tell her I miss her ev’ry day

My wife and I saw them in concert at Wembly Arena London during the 1980s I was always a great fan of their music. In an interview they were asked the meaning of some of their songs. They said there wasn't any!!

I went to see The Moody Blues in concert five times. They were one of my favorite bands in the seventies, and one of the first albums I bought was Every Good Boy Deserves Favor. I loved it, and bought LPs from then on. One LP I know for sure I had purchased before that was Iron Butterfly's In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida :giggle: I bought it as a 13 year old :devilish:


E, G, B, D and F The notes on the lines of the treble clef and the mnemonic used by some music students to remember it, such as E very G ood B oy D oes F ine , E very G ood B oy D eserves F avour or E very G ood B oy D eserves F udge . I liked songs like this from the LP:


It did not lend itself as well to jamming with my friends as this one, though :)


We would teach each other the songs we learned on our own :)

They used to say to me, "Not another Moody Blues song!" LOL

One time when I saw them in concert, Stevie Ray Vaughn opened for them :oops:

It seemed an odd pairing at the time :D

That song was written by Eric Clapton. He's a very gifted musician. Glad he's gotten himself clean and sober ... he does a lot of good work in rehab.

Here's info on Clapton from an article I found:

"It was during a time of real personal crisis in 1969 that Eric made an initial commitment as a Christian. He had been intrigued by spirituality as a child and had attended church. Now he was being influenced by the genuine love and warmth of American duo Delaney and Bonnie when he toured with them. It was their influence which helped him to overcome drug addiction. As a thank you to both God and his Christian friends, he wrote the song ‘Presence of the Lord’ for the Blind Faith album.

...

But Eric again became addicted to alcohol during his successful solo years of the 1970’s. He eventually says he hit ‘rock bottom’ in 1987. Following rehab, he “surrendered to God” and his life eventually came together again. He writes, “

“In the privacy of my room, I begged for help. I had no notion who I thought I was talking to, I just knew that I had come to the end of my tether … and, getting down on my knees, I surrendered. Within a few days I realized that … I had found a place to turn to, a place I’d always known was there but never really wanted, or needed, to believe in. From that day until this, I have never failed to pray in the morning, on my knees, asking for help, and at night, to express gratitude for my life and, most of all, for my sobriety. I choose to kneel because I feel I need to humble myself when I pray, and with my ego, this is the most I can do. If you are asking why I do all this, I will tell you … because it works, as simple as that.”

Love Mark Knopfler too ... another gifted musician Love his song "Why Worry". "Postcards from Paraguay" is another favorite of mine.

Glad you got to enjoy Clapton and Knopfler together ... musta been a great show!

Oh my goodness, "Why Worry" is probably my all time favorite Dire Straits song :):love::) Quite honestly I do not remember much of the show haha. It's like what they say about the sixties: "If you remember them, you weren't really there." :ROFL: I know I enjoyed the show, but I also remember that it was during an extremely difficult time of my life, around the age of thirty three. My favorite Eric Clapton was while he was in Derek and the Dominos. That whole Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs (double) album is stellar. My sweet sixteen... such fond memories of listening that that music during that time of my life, and forward. Of course I loved the song Layla, but this one just as much:


That was my favorite side of the set :D Little Wing, It's Too Late, Layla, and Thorn Tree in the Garden :)

And Dire Straits! My goodness, so much excellent music. I do especially love "Why Worry" but my favorite LP of theirs would have to be Making Movies. So under rated :cry:


Brothers In Arms would probably be my second fave :D

One of the best concerts I ever went to was Santana at Massey Square Gardens in Toronto, 1978. My twin brother had bought the tickets for himself and then found out he had to work that night, and since it was very close to our birthday (22nd, the same year I left Ontario a few months later to make my life on the west coast) he gifted the tickets to me. Happy Birthday sis! Yes, it was lovely. He was awesome in concert :)


By the way, Bob borrowed part of your post about Eric Clapton's recovery story to put in his Christians in Recovery thread in the Miscellaneous forum. Thank you for that :)

I like many of Eric Clapton's songs. I loved seeing him on MTV Unplugged. That was when I first heard his very interesting remix of Layla.

This thread has me exploring the histories of some of these golden oldies :) Reading up on Clapton/Derek and the Dominos, Dire Straits, Golden Earring, and Fleetwood Mac/Danny Kirwan, which I am listening to now (Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac Live 1968-70, an almost 43 minute jams' recording). Earlier you posted a song from Then Play On, which is my favourite LP of theirs :D I am especially fond of Kiln House, also :) However, my all-time favourite piece of theirs is this instrumental from Bare Trees:


R.I.P. Danny Kirwan, whose earth walk ended June 8, 2018

I listened to quite a few people trying to replicate it :unsure::giggle: Matt Rowley's was the best :cool:

This song keeps coming to mind for this thread:


It was a favorite for playing with my friends on guitar, back in the days when that was what we did :D

I went to see The Who in Seattle in 1982; it was supposed to be their farewell tour LOLOLOLOLOL but of course it was not farewell after all, for touring is too lucrative for such successful bands. Quadrophenia was released on 27 October 1973, and I have always been extremely partial to this song:

Who Came First is the debut album by Pete Townshend, released in 1972. Oh my goodness, another one that brings back so many memories, as I listened to it quite a bit. This song is known as "a universal prayer"~


Joni Mitchell. What can I say? She is so beautiful and talented. This is one of my faves:


Something else I listened to a lot in the mid to late seventies:


A rarity any more on youtube! A full LP :D Gotta love it :love::giggle::geek::giggle::love:

This tune was written by Bruce Johnson formerly of the Rip Cord's waxing nostalgic abut the way things were supposed have been in the late 50's That why Refferences to Ozzie and Harriett and Patti page are in it. It's been redone several times but that's Bruce Whistling along with playing the piano. It's a very beautiful sone even if you don't know or remember what he's talking about. Here goes Bruce Johnson with the Beach Boys.>

Another little known but well loved band from the 70s is Cano :)
I saw them live on a mountain top here, while sitting in a cloud :giggle:

I love violin music, and electrified violin also :):love::)

Speaking of which, is Jefferson Starship, which many of you will know grew out of Jefferson Airplane.


^ ^ Ai Garimasu

Another fave of mine from the 70s was Cactus :D


That is their instrumental piece called Song For Aries :)
