Very rare and exclusive video of this live performance in 1974
I wish share it with all the fans.
In Concert Performance Crowd Electric Light Orchestra In the Hall of the Mountain King Great Balls of Fire
Date. 19th July 1974
R.I.P. to the Celloists Mike Edwards and Hugh McDowall
also Kelly Groucutt
Absolutely wild to imagine ELO playing only covers. I love that at this point they're not even thinking of commercial appeal and just trying to do something new. Jeff Lynne before he realized he could do both.
Mesmerizing beautiful love this, Jeff Lynne is so sweet
I love seeing Bev Bevan jump at the sound of the violin squeel at 0:58.
Bev was smiling so I think it was intentional.
We need more violin solos in rock songs.
🎻🎸🎹🥁🛸
Yeah! More violins... NOT more cowbell. lol
we need more kaminsky. And people listening and eyoing ELO
And more spaceship band logos
Indeed. Electric guitars get too much spotlight time.
I would of loved to have been at that concert in retrospect. In 1974 I didn't even know who ELO was, but by the late 70's I did and I now love their music. Thanks for the video!
My brother took me to see them the first time in 1978. Fell in love with them (especially the drummer, lol), do I bought every album and went to see them every time they came to Atlanta after that! They were one of the first to use laser lights at their shows. It was definitely electric ... and we were tripping the light fantastic!
Great sounds. Great memories. Thanks for putting this on here.
First time for me to hear this. One of my favorite classics and rock band together. Booya!
I don't know about the baffled and confused looks from the audience, but they ROCKED! Totally awesome! Loved it. Never get tired of watching all these old performances. And will never stop longing for and wishing I had the chance to see them live and in concert back in the early days. I did see them in the Out Of The Blue tour though. Thank you for posting this. Very much enjoyed this.
Nice and raw.... ruddy marvellous 👍😊
This song can be maddening if you don’t understand it. See how maddening this can be? The vilolin gives a nice balance and crescendo to that crazy madness. Thank goodness for the drums to outset the song.
Muchas gracias por estos temendos registros EloDevi
De nada sigo la busqueda.
This is absolutely spectacular. Love you all. I can see you all getting wiser and stronger. Cheers to elo. And btw,bthr cello is supposed to sound out of tune.
Great singing, Jeff!
kid @ 5:51 totally RULES!! yet another fine performance by Jeff & the boys. great line-up. Mr. Tandy looking particularly lush, as usual ;)
I remember seeing ELO as the opening act for Deep Purple at the Richfield (Ohio) Coliseum circa 1974. They blew everybody away! Sadly, can find no reference to this concert.

Same thing in St Louis, probably same tour. Blew DP Mark III off the stage.
They outperformed Deep Purple so bad that ELO got their own gigs following this Tour. ELO was in a class by themself.
love this song, ELO rocks, though personally I wish they had just done this song& not great balls of fire, In the hall of the mountain King is my favorite classical music song of all time
Those in the audience had NO idea that they were viewing the beginning of the big monster known as ELO!
Love the faces in the audience.
The best .;
"I guess you kids aren't ready for that yet, but your parents are going to love it. "
thanks for share
Woooow!!!!....oh yeah!!!!!
Giving it all they can.
I don't understand why Mik Kaminski didn't get more solo's on the albums!?
Are you kidding, easy answer, Jeff Lynne's ego.
`` and love for kicking out string players and screwing Kelly over
Cuz he wasn't that good. Certainly not as good or creative as WIlf Gibson.
Because he joined the band while On the Third Day was being recorded, and the next couple albums featured full orchestras along with the leading strings players. He’s still awesome and deserved more tho 😤
I tell ya something. You'd NEVER find me sittin' still during this jam.
He'll to the yeah! That audience needs to get the f up and dance!
Klasyka muzyki rockowej z symfoniczną.
Gran Video.
Lo he linkado en mi blog en una referencia al disco Wholly Edison de la Electric Light Orchestra
Muchas gracias.
Back to the future!!!
Sunday I saw the version of Apocalyptica @ the venue “Afas Live” Amsterdam ...it was awesome...but I prefer this one❤️🎻
What a dead looking bunch of zombie in the audience! This is classic, great ELO!
Yup
0:59 bev got scared lol
The audience seems genuinely baffled. They thought they were coming to a rock concert lol
This was an awesome weirdo band!
I remember watching this on In Concert, they were on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert in '73 or '74 too. They may sound out of tune, because of the youtube uploading process and the source. It may not be the case here, but I read other youtube uploaders complain that the process slows or speeds up the video and audio and makes it sound out of tune.
No... No demonic electronic wizardry. They're out of tune - out of tune with each other - likely couldn't hear each other thru stage monitors... or were totally baked... or both. Great band... great song... wish I had never run into this.
sackajapeanuts Asshat with no comprehension...
oh wait.. you're confusing "out of tune" and "out of sync". They're out of tune here, dumbass.
Bill Straub If it were slowed or sped up, by x%, then everything would be x% higher or lower. i.e. 25 fps to 24 fps conversion (without binning frames) would slow the video by 4%, thus lowering the pitch by ~2/3 of a semitone across the board. This was definitely out of tune. In person, you probably wouldn't notice it easily.
sackajapeanuts I think they sound a little out of tune because of the violin players running around but that’s the fun of watching these videos.
Why the public was soooo concentrated! Amazing version of great balls of Fire and they all act as braindead :-D
They were blitzed %)
Tanks I LOVE ELO!
Wow, Mik plays like a demon on this one! (starting at 3:53)
WTF, I got to ~3+ mins. and couldn't take it any more, sounded like a junior high garage band o angel dust....😂 😂
Remember seeing this live . Holy crap Batman!
cool
I think the intro was by Jim Stafford
The strings sound terrible. Massively out of tune. But it looks like they don't have monitors on their side of the stage, so they probably couldn't hear the rest of the band well enough to play in tune, plus the way the cellists are running around probably makes it nearly impossible to play in tune anyway.
They are out of tune but that's what makes them unique... Plus they got much much better over the years they toured. Like you said, more monitors and better equipment.
@@metoo9360 Actually, what happened was that Richard Tandy would cover for the cellists on later tours. And on the Out Of The Blue tour, they actually played along to tapes that were filling in a lot of the gaps in the band's sound that the seven of them couldn't cover.
Intro Looks like Jim Stafford (Spiders and Snakes)
Did you hear his Great Balls of Fire?
Sounds like the Portsmouth sinfonia.
Mountain King or Speed King ?
Rupert Grint's dad in the audience 5:51.
Was that announcer,Jim Stafford?
Are those real people in the crowd ?
Ha ha. Some of them look like cardboard cutouts.
ELO goes Norwegian 🥰
😅Thats funny, not much commercial, but funny...
5:51 High as a kite or falling alseep. SOMEBODY SLAP THAT KID!
He does look like Andy Kaufman,..... good call!
прикольный он тут)))
Some of those kids look like they went to see an orchestra.
Why is Jim Stafford hosting this?
Edvard Grieg on American Bandstand. For the first and last time.
What happens with the audience? It looks like it was 6 am after all night ELO playing, everyone exhausted and asleepy????
0:00 -- Hey, that's Jim Stafford, from ANY WHICH WAY YOU CAN!
"Yippee-yi-yaaaay -- cow Patty!"
Hey, I didn't notice him.
De donde sacas estas cosas genio???
Abrazo!
wow where is this from? any more?
The audience didn't seem too impressed.
The faces of some of the audience... *Chuckles*
the guy doing the introduction looks like a British Andy Kaufman.
On the third day record
What is the name of the man introducing?
Jim Stafford.
Some of the audience was just not getting it...
Ok Jim! But I don’t like spiders and snakes! 🥰
Check out Rocky Dennis @ 5:51
I prefer The Who's version lol
What I said had nothing to do with being a "hater" (whatever that is). What I said is absolutely true. The cellos ARE out of tune.
Yes they are, as stated above,( no frets, prob no fine tuners), no monitors, running around... It's rock and roll!
Crazy cats.
Don't ya just love 'em. I do!
Wow Jeff was S-T-O-N-E-D! (Hence the dark glasses later) :)
Grouchomx that's a non musical thing to say, how ignorant of you.
I read that he has some kind of eye condition that makes him sensitive to light.
But you could be right about the "turn to stone" aspect!
@@metoo9360
I thought it was Kaminski who did as I notice Mik always faced away from stage lights
@@neonfroot I don't really know. Maybe both of them were sensitive to lights.
Jeff is actually pretty shy, hence why he wears the sunglasses.
Селтаци Едвард Григ е прекрасен .............
Aa a huge fan of '😢the Move' its so odd and kinda uncomfortable to see Roy Wood looking like a polar bear plaving cello knowing hes being pushed out of a bad he kinda helped to create
Roy Wood isn’t playing here and also he willingly left ELO
Someone please tell me this was used in a spy thriller
Ja Ja... por suerte tengo algunas formas de contactarme y me dan resultado.. je je... mientras se pueda todo bien.. no lo qiuememos..
Is it just me or do those violins need rosin
Weird watching Shakespeare sing like that. Da Vinci, too. Same dude. St. germain. Look him up.
HATERS GONNA HATE
Yep one of those cellos is out of tune. Too bad because this performance rocks!!!!
I think it's the violin (always was loudest on stage). Wilf was a much better player than Mik.
They deliberately put it out of tune for this rendition; as per their interview on UA-cam about it
and for the matter since cellos aren't fretted and those guys are jumping around, it could be their finger positions-which goes back to what was said before about being able to hear yourself play...all in all-rock and roll!
I loove lorah.
the out of tune of it makes me think of Portsmouth Sinfonia.

🤣🤣🤣
Comedian Jim (whatever happened to) Stafford introducing.
M. P. ... He owns his own music theater in Branson, MO.
Good god the crowd looks bored
I think they're more confused tbh lol. ELO's sound was unlike anything ever heard before
@@weksheddweller
This. Before 1975, ELO wasn't at all appreciated especially in England.
It's like how the Beach Boys weren't liked after 1966 until 1974
Yeah those cellos are definitely out of tune
No cords or RF pickups for the instruments, you can not produce any kind of serious sound from cello clowning around like that. Yeah, classic ELO lip sync.
I actually remember watching this one the night it first aired. Their whole performance sucked, unfortunately. Never could stand them after this
How about now? lol
Did people realy pay to watch them?? no wonder they look bored shitless ,this is a car crash.
