“Tuesday Afternoon” – The Moody Blues

[media=https://youtu.be/wM8JjT-97i8]
“Tuesday Afternoon” is a track on the Moody Blues’ second studio album, Days of Future Passed. It was released as a single in 1968 and reached #24 on the US pop chart and #12 in Canada. Moody Blues guitarist and frontman Justin Hayward wrote the song while sitting in a field with his dog Tuesday on a Tuesday afternoon.

This is considered one of the British rock band’s best songs. It was ranked as MB’s 4th greatest song on the Ultimate Classic Rock site. Classic Rock History rated the song at #1, calling it “the group’s grandest work and quite simply, the finest recording of the band’s long career".

Way back in 72 I was getting my pilot's license. One of my fellow students had a cassette tape of Days of Future Passed and we would put it on to play while we studied the minutia of ground school subjects. I always loved Nights In White Satin most but Tuesday afternoon came close behind.

@hippyjoe1955 Days of Future Passed is a great album, in my opinion. "Nights in White Satin" is also one of my favorite tracks from the album.

Love this song and apropos for today. 😀

@Lilymoon I feel the same way.
I listened to that album a TON when I was young; cool to learn more about it!

Here's another song about sitting in a field; not sure if any canines were present (Grantchester is a village near Cambridge, England).

@ElwoodBlues That's a lovely song. I think the video is well done too.

I didn't know all that, about the song I've loved for so long. While there aren't any songs by The Moody Blues that I do not at least like, I agree that it's one of their best ones.

@Piper I think all of their music (at least the music I've heard) is very good and I agree with you about this particular song.

@Rutterman I had a dream of seeing forestgirl a user on here what does that mean
Rutterman · 46-50, M
@JohnOlinger81 It means she will become a SW groupie of yours sometime the future.

In answer to the next question, the Magic 8-Ball sez...

Love the Moody Blues. Saw them live once during the DAYS OF FUTURE PASSED 50TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR. Unforgettable.
