This song is simply Perfection. I can't avoid tears when I listen to it. It is perfect inside and out. This guy, Lynne, these people, do not look human... ❤️
Thank you for doing this. I just purchased tickets to see ELO IN October in the US, quickly followed by David Gilmour. This is absolutely incredible music.
I was fortunate to see Jeff 3 times during their more recent tours. Perfect performances. All were sell out crowds, including 51,000 fans over 3 nights at the famous Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. Looks like ELO has transcended time and has grown in stature. Many of their 1970s contemporaries couldn’t say the same. Jeff is also being inducted into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame in 2023.
Thanks, Mister - I love ELO - and in this live concert, Jeff's voice is great - but it does eventually use some echo & reverb - although probably not necessary... but for "effect" to match the production - have you heard him with "Traveling Wilburys"? the super-est of super-groups, evah - IMHO -- appreciate your reaction! (p.s. I love your assessment of Jeff's "only flaw"... lol)
Thx for your Reaction , I'm with you...heard in my the age of 7 years old and felt it . What a Voice and the Sound they create is today closer as i fell it as young boy
" The only flaw that Jeff Lynne has..is that he supports Birmingham City FC" as a Villa fan , cant argue with that . UTV. having said that im a massive ELO fan , seen them many times since i was growing up in Birmingham. Jeff Lynne is a musical genius . This concert is from Wembley Stadium, 24th June 2017 in front of 60,000 people . I was there it was a fantastic night. i suggest you buy the dvd Wembley or Bust, well worth the money.
Thank you Sir for reacting to this masterpiece from a band that I have been listening to and appreciating for 45 years and still. E.L.O. have now been joined by symphonic metal band Nightwish who I discovered 12 months ago as my two go to bands. Thank you for a wonderful reaction. Paul 🙏👍😊❤️
Moon, June, swoon, this is the one I want to here over and over. Dave you are the genius of reality, you want, to save western civilization from the rubble, you do not live in la la land.
Jeff Lynne is an absolute genius. He is a singer, songwriter, producer and sound engineer. He has produced songs for Tom Petty, George Harrison and many others. He and George were great friends. My favorite ballad by Jeff and ELO is Dont Walk Away, from the 1980 musical with Olivia Newton John called Xanadu. Very nice review, i was able to hear the guitar. Very cool.
Jeff Lynne is a musical genius and a great producer. He was born in my home town of Birmingham. I agree he sounds just as good live, if not better, than he does on the studio versions. He was still touring just before the pandemic. He was also in the band 'The Travelling Willburys' with George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and Bob Dylan. My favourite song is 'All Over The World' which just makes you happy and want to dance.
I have to agree that the first time I watched and listened to this video on UA-cam, I couldn't believe at how great Jeff and his band sounded on this song! I have always been a fan of ELO and I believe that first song I ever heard by them was "Evil Woman" back in 1975. Music just doesn't get any better than this and it is hard to not feel emotional when listening to music this great!👍
Wonderful and competent reaction. Some reacteurs make the mistake of _not_ interrupting, and put their face in a tiny corner of the video. Here, your reaction is in focus, and I can _tell_ that the music moves you. Nice. I got into ELO in 1981 when I was a boy of 13 years age. As new albums weren't soon forthcoming (just two more in the eighties) I dug into their older stuff. An expedition of a lifetime, I now think I know just about every song by heart. I also saw Jeff in Copenhagen in 2018, it was perfect! Two suggestions, from two things you said. First, you said your parent had all albums. But did they also have Jeff's earlier stuff? If not, I hope you will check it out, the Idle Race is like a proto-ELO, just younger and crisper in a way. Try _Please No More Sad Songs_ - a very sad song actually, thematically a lot like _Telephone Line_ . Or the one dearest to me, _The Lady Who Said She Could Fly_ - a mysterious, magical song. Or maybe it's about an airplane... You also mentioned Jeff's voice. There are some videos on YT, where Jeff performs some of his songs unplugged, with just his acoustic guitar and Richard Tandy on piano. You'll love these. They show once and for all that ELO = JL and he needs no string section or orchestra to be out of this world amazing.
The whole concert is outstanding. It has been shown on the BBC and there is a DVD called Wembley Or Bust. I believe there is some delay and reverb on Jeff's voice.
If you watch their performance of All Over The World at Hyde Park. Jeff says a few words to the crowd with some emotions about how blown away he is and its just fantastic he says. I think that can show you some of what it must feel like for him
I’m a little late just getting on here but with all due respect, I do agree with both comments about you pausing a little too much. But I do love your reactions so much that I just now subscribed.
As for what he must have felt playing in Wembley to such big audience, that actually inspired a song called Time of our Life which came out in his latest album "From out of nowhere". Going by the name Jeff Lynne's ELO, in the studio it's all pretty much himself, and live it's with this live band and orchestra without any other former ELO members.
Great reaction! But, I prefer to say: Great Analysis. For 27 years, I managed a staff of 11 financial (insurance) analysts. The detail one gets from analyzing is satisfying. I’m also a football coach in the US and attended a 3-day match analysis coaching course put on by the Dutch KNVB back in 2003. Your multiple pauses did not bother me. After the first two, I knew when you paused, you were going offer an interesting piece of detail…especially when YOU YOURSELF paused momentarily after you paused the video. Tonight, I watched multiple ELO-Telephone Line reaction videos before I came upon yours. Yours was the best. I should probably subscribe…yes?
You’re a legend buddy. Thanks for your understanding and comments. If you like analysis then check this one out. The songwriting techniques here are out of this world. I could have gone on all night. You should deffo subscribe 🫡 ua-cam.com/video/jMWfzTR3an8/v-deo.htmlsi=FB2KYLQlszP0FzkL
They were a lot older here and I still prefer the studio version such an amazing song as all of ELO's songs are. Still one of my favorite pop-rock bands over the years
The band here is made up of session pros. They are all far superior players to those in the original band. In my view it is miles better than the original recording.
@@kingstumble The studio recording for the 1976 album was done by a full orchestra comprised of full-time professional classical musicians, in addition to the three resident strings players in the band, and in addition to the rock musicians in the band. As great as this sounds, it cannot compare to studio version. And as great as Jeff's voice has held up and sounded in this 2017 concert, it was WAY better in '76. The 2001 album, Zoom, is the last time we heard anything close to Jeff's voice at full strength.
Good reaction. This is of course not the original ELO. Only Jeff Lynne. Saw this concert live in my own country, the Netherlands in 2018. 2017 in wembley is right. The sound was amazing. This band is great. As good as the original band. One of my all time favorite bands. All his songs are great. Thank you for this reaction.
Thank you buddy and I’m glad you got to see them Live. He’s definitely the driver for the Songs. No doubt. He has immense talent. Didn’t he also write some songs for the Beatles?
@@produceathome As far as i know not. He did work with George Harrison and they were together in the “Traveling Wilburys”. They did the song “Handle with care” from the Traveling Wilburys in the ELO concerts from 2017 and 2018.
@@produceathome No, Jeff did not write any songs for The Beatles. You may be thinking of the two unfinished Lennon tracks that Paul, George and Ringo asked Jeff to produce for their 1995 Beatles Anthology albums....which Jeff did, and did exceptionally well. The songs are called, "Free As A Bird", and, "Real Love".
Thanks for your feedback buddy. Unfortunately it’s the case but my vids no replacement for listening to the song through. I get your frustration though. It annoys me too.
I don’t know about anyone else, but this song brings tears to my eyes ….
It is absolutely beautiful Jeff, the orchestra, those violins. Good lord🥰
Ever so sincere reaction! Thank you. Yet Brummies rule in music. Anyhow Jeff Lynne wouldn't let me lie.
This song is simply Perfection. I can't avoid tears when I listen to it. It is perfect inside and out.
This guy, Lynne, these people, do not look human... ❤️
Absolutely stunning song ❤ thanks for reaction
The best of the best.

Jeff is indeed aware of how special these moments are, he went on to write and record a song about it called Time Of Our Lives.
Whoever did the mixing is a genius in his own right like Jeff Lynn
Does not get much better than this!! 😍Thank you! Even if Jeff´s into Birmingham.... 😉

Last tour.. South America..2024.. but I can't see them not finishing off in Brum
Grande Gruppo, Bellissima Canzone
Lucky to see elo in 1981 on the Time tour, I was 13 years young. It was in his own city, at the NEC. Some fantastic artists to come from that area.
Thank God I was a teenager during the 70's 🙂

not seen you before but i really enjoyed your vid learning about detailed listening. as spock would say facinating lol
Haha. Nice one buddy. Check out my Elvis reaction vid. Some good info in there for you 🖖
Love ELO ❤Anything with Jeff The Traveling Wilburys

Yes, you need to pause but not half as often that you do. Very well if you just prefer to do so and comment on it the way you do. 😁
Thank you
Forgive me, but my thoughts exactly. However, I wish you good luck with the Channel.
I’m a little late just getting on here but with all due respect, I do agree with both comments about you pausing a little too much. But I do love your reactions so much that I just now subscribed.
no. never a bad song from JeffLynn

@@Cosmo-Kramer OK, I still prefer the live version.
In the 50s in the usa there were many tinges of do wop, no fantastic orchestra, this reminds me of some music in the 50s.

Jeff Lynne and Elo! Top craftmanship all the way! 🙂 Whats your thoughts on the Time, Zoom and Xanadu albums?
I’ve probably heard the songs but I’ve not played the albums through. On the to do list 🫡
I think he's an OBE not an MBE..... no, I dont know what the difference is 😁
Dude, I know you have to pause. But that much? I love this song and you seldom see reactions to it.
Thanks for your feedback buddy. Unfortunately it’s the case but my vids no replacement for listening to the song through. I get your frustration though. It annoys me too.
I love the crowd's reaction...
