That's really impressive they pull this off live in the 70s. This song has ALOT of layers to it. There's a reason why people like George Harrison and Tom petty held Jeff Lynne in such high regard.
I love it when that 🎹 that this keyboardist plays can actually punctuate the ‘Mr. Blue Sky’ while it ‘sings’. I never seen anything like it! Amazing and extremely Fascinating!
Understand that these guys understood music and how to play instruments. No audio correction. What you heard was what their magic, nothing was messed with by computer or AI. Listen and watch bands from the 60s and 70s. They had no artificial help. ❤
Was there at Wembley. This concert was amazing for it’s time. An huge flying saucer which opened up and there they were playing. Also the use of lasers was the first time we’d ever seen something like that. Plus of course superb music and sound systems
i listened to this album while on lsd and it was amazing. I think the most beautiful trip of my life, not even with pink floyd I saw what I saw with this music here.....,,.... i loved
they might have been using a backing track i was at an elo concert in berkeley and towards the middle of the concert, the backing track tape broke people were pissed but lynne wanted to recreate the studio sound and im not sure the record company wanted to foot the bill for added strings to do that
First time i heard this was 2008's the game plan with the rock i was only 10 then i heard it again in Guardians of the galaxy and was like "I HAVE to find this song" and now i come back every week damn near to here different versions of it
Back then, you had to have a singing voice, because there was no auto-tune. That’s why most live performances back then were almost the same as studio versions.
Bardzo dobry koncert Live in Wembley 1978 roku,mam to w wersji VHS i DVD . Jest to koncert charytatywny z udziałem rodziny królewskiej a prowadził ten koncert Live in Wembley Tony Curtis.
The first vocoder was put together in Munich and had it brought found to studio. Lynne remembered the sound from a kids record from the late 50s early 60s. Saw a breakdown of this tune on "Prroduce Like A Pro" youtube today . 6-4-2022
yea now its just 100% autotune and being goodlooking matters now(thats what singers care about now,and money) there was having fun the point of live, now its money(for most singers) and in my oppiniun: everybody who likes the music now can stfu, they have no taste! i hope all the singers die off corona or stop
@@elliottmaet2566 That's how it is now :( They can't make legendary songs like Mr. Blue Sky, a great banger! Though I'm just in middle school but I really adore songs like this, it's a perfect way to start a new day :D
No they didn't...I seen this concert 2x once in Cleveland and once in detroit ...they sometimes use tapes for intros..I know elo live. . seen 17 elo concerts starting in 1973....I know difference between live and album....
That's really impressive they pull this off live in the 70s. This song has ALOT of layers to it. There's a reason why people like George Harrison and Tom petty held Jeff Lynne in such high regard.
Had it not been for the screaming of the audience...this would have rivaled a studio track.
It’s 2024, I’m 70 years old and this song is always welcome when I hear it. So uplifting and cool. Thanks Jeff and ELO!
Still lively as these years later. Decades go by and their music has a sound that you know is yours to hold on to.
Live long and enjoy
What does being 70 have to do with anything….i’m 105 YO….
This is the most 1978 video I've ever seen
Not even close.
Yeah the production value sucked....must have been new tech. But...there was nothing like those live shows in person back in those days.
I love it when that 🎹 that this keyboardist plays can actually punctuate the ‘Mr. Blue Sky’ while it ‘sings’. I never seen anything like it! Amazing and extremely Fascinating!
Lol
@@philobeddoe5214 well duh it's not close cuz it's missing that 70s cocaine
his voice is absolutely incredible
exact
@@Oh_I_Will Kellys fucking carrying Jeff
@@Oh_I_Will Jeff would have just blocked it from being published
It still is!!
This is the most 70's live show I've ever seen with my eyes

Rip Richard Tandy. Thank you for your piano playing. I always turned over. God's speed ❤

Omg I bet that was amazing. I got goosebumps just reading this
First time…my Arse…you obviously hadn’t been to other gigs
The happiest song in music history!!!!!
ELO was my first concert in 1978 - I'm so tickled that I can share this with my daughter.
This man is simply a genius❤
I miss 70s
Wouldn’t give up what I have for today…except the music
This song just makes me happy.
Best concert ever....he is a genius !!!
Jeff Lynne was as talented as any of the BEATLES were.
Also Jeff Lynne was as talented as the amazing Roy Wood.
Always a blue sky when this group perform, memories of sunny days, great times and fun, they fulfil everyone's dreams, cheers elo 😎😘🥰🎸🎸
When ELO performed in the 70’s…not the sorry modern day version
ELO was at its prime in the 1970's for sure. Jeff Lynne is still very talented to this day. @@Oh_I_Will
Going on a cruise tomoro, be loads of blue skies, listening to my fave group, Jeff and band thank you, you will make my holiday x🛳️😎❤️🎸🎸
Gold pure beautiful gold.
Good ELO concert it was so amazing!!!!!!
The mighty ELO....everlasting....such beautiful music...jeff Lynne, magical songwriter
i listened to this album while on lsd and it was amazing. I think the most beautiful trip of my life, not even with pink floyd I saw what I saw with this music here.....,,.... i loved
So in other words…you didn’t care for this album sober….GO AWAY troll
En ese año 1978 , ELO era la banda mas famosa e importante del Mundo. En ventas y canciones TOp 10 y top 40 de EEUU, UK y paises de Europa.
ELO era inmortal en esa época
The second single i bought back in the
day
Masterpiece!
Great song Jeff. After all these years.
Would have never been without this entire ELO lineup
True although Jeff did write most of the songs and he also has very beautiful vocals. @@Oh_I_Will
@@sarahloughlin3724what about Kelly Groucutt? He sued Jeff over missing writing credits
What an amazing band!!!!!
Amazing!
They dropped the best part - the ending which should be a song on it's own.
I miss it too….but impossible to recreate without being obvious having to play to a backing track
My brother doesn't like this song haha 😂
Why does this sound better then when the new line up performed it live at Wembely
Jeff was 40 years younger then.
@@franke981 well no the instruments sound better and there's a much bigger sound
@@nightisright1873 Proper strings not keyboard strings...
For one... Technology for recording has come a long way.
they might have been using a backing track
i was at an elo concert in berkeley and towards the middle of the concert, the backing track tape broke
people were pissed
but lynne wanted to recreate the studio sound and im not sure the record company wanted to foot the bill for added strings to do that
Hermosa canción, hasta la bailo como Baby Groot, los 70' seguro que fueron maravillosos con artistas tan talentosos y con canciones preciosas.
Obrigado
First time i heard this was 2008's the game plan with the rock i was only 10 then i heard it again in Guardians of the galaxy and was like "I HAVE to find this song" and now i come back every week damn near to here different versions of it
Fantastic !!! 🙏🏼 💓 👏🏼
I was there 🙏🏻❤️
We all were…JERK
Best song ever made
Back then, you had to have a singing voice, because there was no auto-tune. That’s why most live performances back then were almost the same as studio versions.
Funny how you haven’t even bothered to mention the Backing Track being played along with this “Live” version….
I'll bet that was sampled from the vocoder on an Oberheimer synth
@@c.e.anderson558 ya think
Nice
0:58 I have my doubts if it's a guitar bend or his voice.
Temasooo
temasasasaso!
Bardzo dobry koncert Live in Wembley 1978 roku,mam to w wersji VHS i DVD . Jest to koncert charytatywny z udziałem rodziny królewskiej a prowadził ten koncert Live in Wembley Tony Curtis.
Damn Jeff Lynne looks very young
Thats because he was only 30 yrs old in 1978. He actually has aged very well and still looks good today.
Young and quite handsome too!
2:28 I always thought they used a vocoder. But no they had used a synthesizer for it 😆
I thought they used the recorded album version and added synths in the background
@@ildibaba11 that might be right. But in some other live versions of this sing They use Vocoders and some others don't. So you might be right.
Vocoder on album
I'll bet they sampled the vocoder on an Oberheimer synth.
The first vocoder was put together in Munich and had it brought found to studio.
Lynne remembered the sound from a kids record from the late 50s early 60s.
Saw a breakdown of this tune on

Man that guitar solo sounds fucking amazing any musicians know what they did to get sound that damm good
Gibson Les Paul in the middle position through a very good amp with the volume up to get that natural grit
@@Aycejay what you said
@@Aycejay A Gibson Gold top to be exact
😍😭😍😭😍
This was back when musicians actually play their music
yea now its just 100% autotune and being goodlooking matters now(thats what singers care about now,and money) there was having fun the point of live, now its money(for most singers) and in my oppiniun: everybody who likes the music now can stfu, they have no taste! i hope all the singers die off corona or stop
@@elliottmaet2566 That's how it is now :( They can't make legendary songs like Mr. Blue Sky, a great banger! Though I'm just in middle school but I really adore songs like this, it's a perfect way to start a new day :D
@@f0rbidden_cheeto what does being in Middle School have to do with anything. How about explaining how you were introduced to ELO instead.
It's funny you say that, because ELO was the first band to receive major flak for using pre-recorded backing tracks live.
@@andthensome512 they didn’t get grief then as they do more now. There was no Internet or cable TV to whine about that stuff
I feel like I'm drunk watching this. This is before they drug tested directors 😂
me gusta más esta versión 😻
If Bob Ross were painting a song…..
I like the VHF sound effect🤨
Mike Mansfield felt obliged to use every feature on his video desk... sadly.
Ah the real E.L.O
RIP the real ELO
ELO was at their peak in the 1970's but they were always great.
Jeff Lynn cant read music but
Hes a genius
wdym cant read music
he means he cant read sheet muisic
Hey you with the pretty face
O show é bom, mas o cara que editou cagou tudo. Eu me pergunto: pra que fazer isso???????
On so much coke its in .25 fast forward
Mario Bros 😢
BRUMMIE BOYS KRO
Lost in transitions
Fucking hate versions of this song that cut off the true ending.
I think Jeff Lynne sounds better now
Maybe
Were you in the room where he performed? Otherwise this is foolish.
Jeff Lynne's voice never ages.
This shi making me dizzy
While probably state of the art back then, the video effects are horrible and distracting from an otherwise great performance :)
It wasn’t state of the art…you obviously don’t know what was in the 70’s
they were caught lip syncing to a tape machine ...LIVE......i get it....
No they didn't...I seen this concert 2x once in Cleveland and once in detroit ...they sometimes use tapes for intros..I know elo live. . seen 17 elo concerts starting in 1973....I know difference between live and album....
@@mreloo hmmm..ok...well...i just read about it....IDK....for sure
Trace zach daniels that was cause the concert was being broadcasted .Do your research before posting something so half assed !
@@nightisright1873 hmm i know ..lol.
Only 'Dire Straits Alchemy Live' studio overdub free!!
Completely ruined by hideous camera effects...
This music video is nauseating 🤢🤢
Oh my goodness why do think that?
