The 70s music will put you on another planet that no one will understand unless you have a love of the 70s music. You don't need drugs or alcohol to appreciate the best music ever. God....take me back to the 70s and leave me there....I'll be just fine.

Freddie Mercury said he wanted to bring ballet to the masses! Jeff Lynn certainly did bring classical music to the masses!
Not quite sure the occasional use of orchestral arrangements is tantamount to "bringing classical music to the masses". I think visionaries such as Stanley Kubrick and Leonard Bernstein are more deserving of that feat.
@@merlinmediagroup I believe he is referring to the more 'classic' music, not much classical. It's easy to mix the two, but they're completely different. The genres you suggested are more classical, but this music is like classic rock. Classic music, not classical music.
Can't say enough how much I love ELO. Saw them in concert in the 70's. Best concert ever.
Holy Shit! My goodness, I'm completely floored by this performance. Utterly perfect and sounding 1,000,000x better than any recording I've ever heard. What a privilege this is to see and hear. That man has some pipes, people and the band was flawless.
First ELO song I ever heard. Truly great band! Jeff Lynne is an amazing musician.
Still filling up Stadiums and Arenas after 50 Years... Jeff Lynne's ELO is the best live Classic Rock Band in the world. Please Tour in 2020!
Jeff, please, one performance in St. Petersburg, Russia, 2021! Eric Clapton will arrive in July)))
Jeff you are legendary. You and your band perform timeless music. It always sounds so fresh and vibrant
Dear Jeff, please also arrange tour in Taiwan where ELO have never been to. Thank you.
Wow they sound just as good if not better live as on CD. I probably shouldn't be surprised since this is a band that came from an era where talent was still essential for a band's success.
Seriously, you just noticed that? And every other band from that era. Some don't even bother to plug into amps. Now days you get ripped for lip sync.
Wailing Fingers When was I supposed to notice it? I grew up in the '90s and the only time I ever heard ELO was listening to it in my dad's car on CD. Wasn't until I went to UA-cam to hear what they sounded like live.
The Red Viper Not dissing your post or comments. You never heard them on AM/FM? Almost every music video from that time period isn't "live", I just noticed it myself. In some cases its disappointing but there weren't even digital cameras, no one had mobile phones shooting 4K at that time. They didn't try to hide the fact the video wasnt live. If you grew up in the 90's and you like ELO that much, you're in for a great time discovering generations of amazing music.
Jeff Lynne is a music legend who has written so many brilliant songs. Thank you for the amazing music Jeff.
383 who put thumbs down ,you all must b Rapp crappers, this is real music perform by real ARTIST.
This is the best live version of this Song
This is true talent & proper music. I am privileged to have been around in the 70s
deptdog1 born in 55, about the same age, the late 60s and all the 70s were great. I'd stay from 1968 to 1979 forever.
ELO...what can I say? One of the best bands in the 70's. I Wore Out their records. Growing up in the 70's..Such memories. Indescribable. WE HAD IT SOO GOOD.
Those great 70's may have long passed, but Jeff and the music they created will be forever heard. I'm thankful to have lived through it and experienced it live and hop that jet across the Atlantic forever
ELO is the soundtrack to my life growing up in the 70s, being a pre-adolescent watching my older siblings and their friends dancing and rocking out in our living room. I remember being so amazed by the entire orchestra!
Sounds exactly like my childhood.. My brothers were 17 & 24 yrs older and most of my cousins 5+yrs older!! I feel so blessed to have grown up then and exposed to the GREAT music that i was.. 💜
He really got tired of her? Love her singing....I thought they made such a great couple.......
Saw them 3 times in concert and had a blast.Good old rock and roll.
This band this BAND! Love them from the beginning, nostalgia now calls and it doesn't change their greatness! ELO ftw ;)
Jeff Lynne is superman signing so well at his age. Unreal. A music god. Thanks Jeff and all present and past ELO members for the best music of the last 5 decades...
The entire concert was amazing. Agreed listening to this with headphones is awesome!
No doubt, I would not have picked another era to have grown up in! The music and memories associated with the 70's cant really be put into words. It just takes you to so many places and simple times. Full range from American top 40 (the 45 singles in that store rack) to the one hit wonders and the greatest rock bands the world will ever know, all from the 70's & late 60's! AM RADIO was amazing, those dials and push buttons, hot summer nights, fire flies & making out!!! It doesn't exist anymore, music died in the late eighties!! Progress? I dont think so, but UA-cam has saved my entire generation from deep musical depression! :)
Born Dec. 30 1947 ...Jeff Lynne. (Lead singer) STILL ROCKING THE WORLD... ELO IS STILL giving concerts...WOW..MAGIC.. ELO always takes me back to the good days...thanks for posting.
Exceptional song from exceptional band!!!!
Absolutely beautiful masterpiece, great Hall of Fame music from Jeff Lynne & ELO, one of the best musicians of all time, the girl is very beautiful & talented, top of the line solid gold standard of excellence for 50 years
OMG That's the gorgeous and incredibly talented Rosie Vela singing back-up !!!
If you're not familiar with her solo album "ZAZU"...check it out. Her work with Donald Fagen is KILLER!
Can you imagine, growing up during this era of music, 60s - 80s... wow, it was so frkin' great!!
chicsartorial I was born 1952. Elvis to Beatles to Doors to Bowie to Queen. After the 80s it mostly went to shit.
@@nhmooytis7058 me too, I was born in 1955. Spend 4 yrs (73-77) in the United States Marine Corps and listened to a LOT of music.....especially ELO
A very happy 74th Jeffrey Lynne 30 December 1947. A few rock voices are iconic. Your's is one of the few. Born in Erdington, Birmingham England.. And a member of the world famous Traveling Wilburys. Miss George, Roy and of course Tom.
True legend of music is hidden within him.
Wow 👏 pure Rockstar. The sound he has to sing is greater than ever.
Jeff Lynne! A true genius at music. So many great songs he written. And finaly a live performace that actually sounds great. Thanks
Artistry in motion,one of the best talented bands of the century.
Unbelievable!! when has live music ever sounded this good?! Jeff Lynne is the greatest composer/musician of our time.
The perfection of ELO never ceases to amaze me. Wish I could play piano like that.
Another number with this lineup where Rosie Rocks it and the band Rolls it.
F I N A L L Y !!!! In the Rock & Roll of Fame. Jeff Lynne is magnificent!
What a Hell!!! They're playing in Paradise!!!. I've never heard / seen a LIVE Performance far better than the studio version. They reached PERFECTION.
Listened to the song a 1000 times over when on duty in 76 in Cyprus. AFRICASIAEURO
Jeff Lynne is a Pop musical master. His lyrics, melodies, voice - he's got it all. I absolutely love him!!
Blessed to live in this era! Still get chills and tears! Peace ✌🏻🖖🏻
I'm 14, and my mom raised me with this kind of music. Needless to say I absolutely love it. :)
So now your 23? Hope you still appreciate the music. And bury the fuck who……..
What an adorable child..knows which side her bread is buttered on..🇨🇦
Proper music from back in the days where music was played by musicians using musical instruments. This was the era of music I grew up to, I feel for the kids of today with the stuff they think is good. We were so lucky!!
This song is so good that after I hear it on the radio,I want to hear it a few more times because i cant stop singing it & want to play it over again.Im grateful we have youtube to go to and play it when we want.Awesome job making music.
Much better than my Beatles. Jeff Lynne is in a class by himself. Much love for Richard Tandy on the Piano. He has been with Jeff for over 50 years.
Thank you, went to a lot of concerts in my day, ELO was the Best, the light show was amazing and the sound great
Wow cheers Andrew, I can not beleive my eyes, he still looks and sounds exactly the same as he did 20+ years ago. This is one of my favs, my x hubby sang it to me at our wedding lol
Everytime I look at Rosie Vela I immediately think to myself=="That lucky Jeff had her as a girlfriend for 7 yrs. and somehow got tired of her~!! What a Goddess~!! Oh well as the old song says "If you want to be happy for the rest of your life-never make a pretty woman your wife"~! ELO will live forever in these great videos~!!!
All the live performances of songs from this concert are just superb. The people who went for this, sure got their money's worth of great music.
That’s the way it’s done! No tricks just pure raw talent!! The mans a genius!!
Jeff , Back in late 70 something , I worked in a Record Store , and used too Blast this Album , Man the chicks Flocked in Singin Dancin , also sold a Record or two , so many in fact , that , Pickwick Rec. Rep . turned me on to Free Concert Tics & Back Stage Pass , & After Party at Hyatt Regency . Had Me A Real Good Time , Thanks
Kim Tindell ..sweet memory. I can picture it. Spent alot of time in record shops. Those days are the, best.
The great Jeff Lynne is still with us and will do a major US / European Tour in 2018. Let's enjoy his greatness while he is still alive.Jeff Lynne is the most talented Music God ever. He will be 71 in 2018 and his voice is Gold. All his live concerts sound as good if not better than the original recordings...Not many bands and musicians can match that. Just have a listen from Jeff Lynne's ELO at Wembley Stadium June 24 2017. Can't wait to see Jeff Lynne's ELO on the 2018 Europe and North American Tour.
I was so blessed to meet Jeff at a Grammy party at Chasen's in L.A. I thanked him for getting me through high school and he thanked me for saying that! 🙏 😇 😁⚡
I saw ELO at the Felt Forum in Madison Square Garden NYC around 1980 and they put on the GREATEST LIGHT show I've seen in my entire life. The Best by Far.
Gonna' double dip here. Saw them at the Hoffheinz Pavillion in Houston around '78 and their light show was second to none!
I remember listening to ELO in the wee hrs of the night 🌙, folding newspapers to soon be delivered. It was their early height. Of Course Jeff is a Genius, but quiet Richard Tandy is a gifted, unmistakable keyboardist. What an awesome era.
They are fantastic LIVE! Clear as a bell! the 70's spun out some great tunes!
Happy to say I was there! :-)
Always loved this song...best era for music and talent!
What an incredible sound! I remember listening to this as a kid and loving it back then....still sound just as good.

Awesome Performance! Rosie Vela, has got those Stevie Nicks sways going on ! Damn 😍
@@RickaramaTrama-lc1ys I believe it ! She is beautiful, my goodness..
Jeff has had a stellar career. I even love his traveling wilburys days, That was a very talented group too.
ELO the best band ever! Jeff Lynne is a musical God!
as much as i love the great American rock groups from the late 60s like the Doors CCR Stix Kansas and many more
these freaking English rock bands are the best.
His voice is magic!!😊
This is an amazing video with the music, cast, and crew performing at a phenomenal level! Glad I was able to see them back in the 70s when this great music came out.
Been a fan since the 70s, fav band ever, have every album, have never seen live, SEEING THIS SUMMER IN PHILLY, dream come true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The best version i have heard.Come on.,live,so good.talk about misheard lyrics ,for several years i thought they were singing "he is a woman" Doh!
Damn I wish those days were still around, how time flies,dear god take us back to the 20th century ASAP!!!
What a truly incredible live performance. Every bit as good as the studio version. Just shows the quality of everyone on stage.
The man is a. Pure genius loved listening to ELO Throughout my whole life keep the good work up !!!!
Best live band in the world!
"There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in" Great line 👍
The great Jeff Lynne is still with us and will be on Tour in the Summer of 2019 (Toronto Scotiabank Arena July 18 2019)... Let's enjoy his greatness while he is still alive....Jeff Lynne is the most talented Music God ever. He is 71 and his voice is Gold. All his live concerts sound as good if not better than the original recordings...Not many bands and musicians can match that. Just have a listen from Jeff Lynne's ELO at Wembley Stadium June 24 2017. Jeff Lynne's ELO 2019 Tour will focus on the US and Canada for several fantastic Concerts...I just bought Jeff Lynne's ELO Wembley or bust which is a fantastic concert on DVD-Blu-ray or CDs. Long live Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra.
...Yes ...Love ..Jeff & ELO.....loved the strings ,even played Viola.....But no more....wow....I,m Old guy in Oregon 8/2018 Big Fan....
boy Jeff sounds REALLY GOOD here. like he hasn't aged at all. and the keys and drums are mixed really well.
In my all time top 10 hit list along with Hotel California etc..
This is the 1st song I ever heard from ELO, the memories it brings back !
So, so, so many beautiful layers to Jeff's wonderful music. He has a voice of silk 😍
Rosie Vela adds class to this great session
fuckin amazing song...further proof that all the greatest music has already been written and performed.
One of the greatest singers ever! Such great talent!
I just saw them in concert. Jeff Lynne still has it, which is not to be said for all rockers over the age of 40. Wow! Worth every penny and more. Wish I could go again tomorrow. Yes! I was alive in the 70's and was alive when he played in Grand Rapids, MI, and feel so fortunate to have seen them all live. PURE MAGIC!
What a classic. I love Jeff's voice. I've been an ELO fan since the mid 70's but never seen them live. Till then I'll have to go with blu ray DVD concert videos.
Jeff Lynne was on CBS Sunday Morning this morning on an interview and the played this song along with another song Don’t Bring me Down.
Beautiful music ! Another Jeff Lynne and ELO fantastic !
NEVER AGAIN ONE TIME THOUGH OUR GENERATION, GLAD I WAS AROUND TO HEAR THIS GREAT MUSIC, THANK YOU" THE BEST"!!
Outstanding music and very beautiful voice effects.
And they know they’re good. Lots of confidence.
I grew up listening to this great music . How great is this !
One of the best groups of their and my time, especially this song Thank you,
Best music ever even in 2021
Thanks to my Dad I got to know ELO at a very young age.. still love them to this day!!!!
saw ELO at Kiel Auditorium in St Louis around 1977. Wow! What a fabulous show!
gotta say , like other comments , better than the old clips . this is a gifted person who really cares , wishing other classic bands took the time and effort to give people their moneys worth . . . aka stones suck live . lol this people is a true genius at work . . . thanks jeff
Double cello mellow, I loved this band. Dig that synth burn.
Perfect song for me at this moment. Brilliant!
Magic one of the best group of the 70/80s, undated music that lives forever thanks for great memories.
One of the best groups of all times. Was a a freshman at LSU when this song was a hit. Brings back great memories!
Rosie's sway has me more mesmerized...than the music.
You should see her now, I'm sure u wouldn't think that anymore! Evil Woman fits her!
Yes amazing beautifull sexy woman my imagination is flaying with this angel on the earth.
Excellent guitarist on top of his singing and writing :-)
First rock group I liked as a 10year old back in the 70's, can't believe he still tours.
Outstanding musicians in this line up, very much like Van Morrison! Very exciting to watch all the talent and her the awesome music!
Brilliant....and not just Rosie Vela dancing. I think this is possibly Jeff's best ever? It's certainly up there.
Why has Jeff Lynne not been inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame, this man's music is timeless, it's been used in countless adverts, computer games, in movies,, tv shows and by other artists..this man has a great talent and should be rewarded for the enjoyment he has brought into so many of his fan's lives...
Now he’s inducted and OBE for this wonderful incredible music .... a little too late ... best songwriter ever
I totally agree
He was inducted in 2017
And why is Depeche Mode HOF ?
Absolut agree with you…..👌🏽
