      Loved discovering this easter egg. My player has a reverse play button, however I imagine it must have been tons more fun doing it the old fashioned way for the first time, spinning the record backwards manually.

    This is a masterpiece. Remember seeing ELO in Brentwood Essex around 25 years ago ( without Jeff Lynn) and they did fire on high. Sounded absolutely amazing. In fact possibly the best concert I've ever been to. Shame Jeff doesn't do it. Seen him and Elo 5 times in last 4 years.

    I love this song. It's the track they have used on a scrambler up in Maine at an amusement park. Every day the song must be played hundreds of times and this has been going on for my entire life.I'm forty three, now they still have the ride.They are still playing "Fire On High" The ride is all set up with fog and lasers, and I guess it's kind of a psychedelic experience. Growing up, I used to look forward to going to Maine to go on that ride and hear this song. Finally ended up getting the tape in my stocking one year at christmas. I will always love this song. Any version of it. ✌️

    I really do miss the cellos, Hugh McDowell was always a great performer live, but it's great to see this many of the "classic line-up" together. This is basically ELO minus two but they sound every bit as good as the band did at their peak. I've seen other live videos of them and look like they're having a lot more fun doing it.
