The Moody Blues ‎- nights in white satin live at the royal albert hall in nineteen sixty-nine, 1977

"The full concert was recorded on December 12, 1969, at the Royal Albert Hall in London. This was a pivotal show for the band, blending their progressive rock sound with live symphonic elements (featuring the London Festival Orchestra). The performance was a critical and commercial hit at the time, praised for its ambition and emotional depth. The Song in the Setlist: "Nights in White Satin" served as the dramatic closer. Written by lead guitarist/vocalist Justin Hayward, it's a poetic ballad about unrequited love and longing, originally clocking in at over 7 minutes in the studio with the band's signature Mellotron swells and orchestral backing. The live rendition runs about 6:10, stripping back some orchestration but amplifying the heartfelt vocals and crowd energy."
