    From 1976 to this day ELO (Jeff Lynne) has been the best live band i have ever seen and i have seen lots and lots of concerts from legendary bands. I saw ELO in 1976, 1978, 1981, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. I feel very fortunate.

    Jeff Lynne's ELO is one of the very, very few bands sounding better live than on their records. They are this good. In the Summer of 2019, Forbes Magazine called Jeff Lynne's ELO "The Best Live Classic Rock Band In The World Still Touring". After seeing their shows in 2016, 2018 and 2019, I totally agree.

    TIME FOR THE ROCK HALL OF FAME TO INDUCT JEFF LYNNE AS A SOLO ARTIST. The great Jeff Lynne latest album From Out Of Nowhere was no.1 in the UK on November 2019. Jeff Lynne's ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA is still Touring! From 1972 to 1986 (DURING 14 YEARS) Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra has had more top 40 hits than any other group in the world. 50 years later they still play in sold-out Arenas and Stadiums. I last saw them again in the Summer of 2019 on the North American Tour...( Best Concert of my life) All the reviews agree they are the best live act in the world and Jeff Lynne is a Music Genius. They are in the Rock Hall of Fame. Lynne is on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and Birmingham Walk OF Fame. Jeff Lynne’s ELO won the Best Classic Rock Band plus Lynne won the best Song Writer award ( ASCAP ) 2019 for his fantastic contribution over the years. Jeff Lynne is now an Officer Of The British Empire (OBE) for his incredible contribution in the music industry. He created the best Super Group of all time with his best friend George Harrison, The Traveling Wilburys. The Legends in the Music Industry call Jeff Lynne the best overall Musician ever and a Producer Extraordinaire. Jeff Lynne has written and produced many hit songs for music legends like George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Joe Walsh, Brian Wilson, Paul McCartney, Bryan Adams, Aerosmith, Del Shannon, the Everly Brothers, and so many others...

    Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra from The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame site: "Picking up where the Beatles left off, ELO expanded the concept of great melodies, epic song structures and grand orchestrations. ELO added an exciting mix of elements into rock and roll, including disco rhythms and electronic studio wizardry. Imagine a marriage of tuneful, rocking pop songs with instruments from the symphonic realm, and you’ve got the blueprint for what made ELO one of the most popular groups of the 1970s and beyond.
    Jeff Lynne, ELO’s vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, co-founder, and frontman, conceived of a rarefied musical sphere in which cellos coexisted with guitars, and where classically tinged progressive rock intersected with hook-filled, radio-friendly pop.
    The result: ELO’s boundary-breaking approach to rock that resonated with a global audience, both as a pop singles act and as album-oriented rockers with deep-track appeal".

    For me, this was THE song that started my love affair with ELO. Such an amazing take and tribute to, as Jeff says after the song, "The king of rock 'n roll, Chuck Berry". I had only recently discovered the man that The Beatles were covering at the time, and I was floored by Jeff's interpretation and fusion with classical. Saw ELO 4x "back in the day", mostly at the old Philadelphia Spectrum. Back then I was "experimenting" with mind and mood-altering substances, so I don't remember the dates or the songs. But I do remember the experiments were a success, and of course, the mind-blowing stage shows ELO put on back then. Spaceships and laser beams shooting from the eye of a face I can't even remember. But it was all good. As Roy said, God bless Jeff for his single-minded focus on writing the songs and keeping the ELO torch not only lit, but burning brightly all these years. What a long hard road it must be indeed.

      Roll over Beethoven was my introduction to ELO as well. Heard it in the spring of 1973 on WLS out of Chicago (I was living in Urbana, IL, about 125 miles south. It was in their regular rotation, I couldn't believe it when I found out years later that it never made the Top 40!

    I want my jockey to play
    Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today
    You know, my temperature's risin'
    And the jukebox blows a fuse
    My heart's beatin' rhythm
    And my soul keeps on singin' the blues
    Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news

    I need a shot of rhythm and blues
    I think I'm rollin' arthritis
    Sittin' down by the rhythm review
    Roll over Beethoven rockin' in two by two
    Well, if you feel you like it
    Go get your lover, then reel and rock it
    Roll it over and move on up just
    A trifle further and reel and rock it
    Roll it over
    Roll over Beethoven rockin' in two by two
    Well, early in the mornin' I'm a-givin' you a warnin'
    Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
    Hey diddle diddle, I am playin' my fiddle
    Ain't got nothin' to lose
    Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news
    You know she wiggles like a glow worm
    Dance like a spinnin' top
    She got a crazy partner
    Oughta see 'em reel and rock
    Long as she got a dime the music will never stop

    Roll over Beethoven
    Roll over Beethoven
    Roll over Beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues

    ROCK HALL OF FAME...It's more than time to induct Jeff Lynne as a solo artist like George, Ringo, Paul and John (They all were inducted as a band and solo artists). The great Jeff Lynne released his latest album in November of 2019 and was no. 1 on the UK chart. Jeff Lynne's ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA is still Touring! From 1972 to 1986 Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra has had more top 40 hits than any other group in the world. More than 50 years later they still play in sold-out Arenas and Stadiums. I saw them again in 2019 before the Pandemic on the North American Tour...( Best Concert of my life) All the reviews agree they are the best live Classical Rock Band still touring. Jeff Lynne is a Music Genius. ELO is in the Rock Hall of Fame. Jeff Lynne is on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and Birmingham Walk OF Fame. Jeff Lynne’s ELO won the Best Classic Rock Band plus Lynne won the best Song Writer award ( ASCAP ) 2019 for his fantastic contribution over the years. In October of 2020, Jeff Lynne has been made an officer of The Order Of The British Empire for his extraordinary contribution to music. He created the best Super Group of all time with his best friend George Harrison "The Traveling Wilburys". They asked Tom Petty, Roy Orbison and Bob Dylan to join this amazing band. The Legends in the Music Industry call Jeff Lynne the best overall Musician ever and a Producer Extraordinaire. Jeff Lynne has written and produced many hit songs for music legends like George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Joe Walsh, Brian Wilson, Paul McCartney, Bryan Adams, Aerosmith, Del Shannon, the Everly Brothers, and so many others... Long live Jeff Lynne’s ELO! Please Tour in 2022! www.thetoptens.com/greatest-music-producers-all-time/

    I just saw this performance for the first time on a PBS documentary on Chuck Berry. This is the song that started my love for ELO and Jeff Lynne as a small child. It lacks the vocal power of the studio recording and a live reel to reel tape I have from the mid-‘70s, but still a really epic performance.

    Jeff Lynne's ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA from Forbes Magazine: ELO stands alone. No other band has created such a glorious merger of rock melodies and symphonic orchestration, generating undeniable pop hits within cohesive, meticulously constructed album-length programs. Led by vocalist, guitarist, composer and producer Jeff Lynne, the Electric Light Orchestra has been fueled by a commitment to pop songcraft and a visionary use of recording-studio wizardry. Transcendent tracks like "Can't Get It Out of My Head," "Evil Woman," "Telephone Line" and "Don't Bring Me Down" remain fixtures on playlists around the globe.

    Gonna write a little letter
    Gonna mail it to me local D.J
    Its a jumping little record I want my jockey to play
    Roll over Beethoven
    Gotta hear it again today
    My temperature's rising
    The juke box's blowing a fuse
    My heart's beating a rhythm
    Singing out rhythm and blues
    Roll over Beethoven
    They're rocking in two by two
    Well if you feel you like it
    Go get your lover and reel and rock it
    Roll it over and move on up now
    Go for cover and reel and rock it
    Roll it over, roll over Beethoven
    They're rocking in two by two
    Early in the morning I'm a giving you the warning
    Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
    Hey diddle diddle, gonna play my fiddle
    I ain't got nothing to lose
    Roll over Beethoven
    Tell Tchaikovsky the news
    Roll over Beethoven
    Roll over Beethoven
    Roll over Beethoven
    Roll over Beethoven
    Roll over Beethoven
    Dig these rhythm and blues?

      Niels Bie most definitely. George & Jeff were close. But there’s no way Jeff would’ve let anyone else play that epic lead guitar part.
