Lynne was producing Harrison's 1987 album when they started talking about starting a band and who they would all invite. I think they may have been recording at Dylan's studio at the time as well.
Sweet Talking Woman Can’t get it out of my head Telephone Line Livin’ Thing Do Ya Don’t bring me down Strange Magic When I was a boy Turn to stone Evil Woman Showdown All great hits by ELO
Electric Light Orchestra’s concerts were so much fun. Their light show was pretty impressive for 1977-78. Their use of orchestral instruments sparked the imaginations of many a band and orchestra student. Suddenly Classical instruments had a place in modern music. It was a great time.
Electric Light Orchestra was without a doubt, one of our very best British bands ever. Was FORTUNATE enough to experience them in concert during this era, they BLEW ME AWAY and their light show lived up to their name IN A BIG WAY!!! They were some of the first to use laser lights at their concerts. Afterwards I was fortunate to meet the dummer Bev Bevan (former THE MOVE ) and the very kind and generous piano and keyboard player Richard Tandy, WHAT A NIGHT ❤ ❤ ❤ LOVE, HUGS, PEACE, GOD BLESS & STAY SAFE ❤ ❤ ❤
We do indeed and as tastes are different I would say we have something to cater for everyone. I LOVE all kinds of music from classical music, over rock, ska, punk to pop. Every kind of music has it´s top bands. I was young in the sixties, so most of my favourite bands are from that era, and both Jeff Lynne and Bev Bevan came from the sixties band called THE MOVE, where also Roy Wood came from but he left ELO, very early on to create his own band The Wizzards.. Many FABULOUS British bands all with their special talents . @@deanosaur808
@@deanosaur808 There definitely are many British bands that are absolutely perfect. Jeff Lynne's ELO is just one of them. I disagree with "some a lot better", as it is impossible to be better than perfect. You may like some of the other perfect bands more, but that doesn't make them "better". Some - even Jeff Lynne himself, modest as he is - might say that the Beatles are on a level of their own, but I disagree - just try to listen to Jeff's version of _Day Tripper_ from 1974 and compare it with the original. The ELO version - IMO - is a big improvement.
My favorite band of all-time. It is now called Jeff Lynne's (lead singer) ELO. Jeff writes, arranges, produces, and plays almost all the instruments on the recordings. He is the only regularly appearing original member left. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017. He is a musical genius who has worked with some of the all-time greats of Rock and Roll as producer, bandmate, etc. John Lennon once said ELO is what the Beatles may have turned into if they had stayed together longer. They are headed out on their final tour later this year. I've already got tix :) This band is so amazing live. Some other songs I recommend: Turn to Stone, Rockaria, Showdown, Fire on High, Roll Over Beethoven (cover of Chuck Berry's song), Tightrope and Mr. Blue Sky. I could go on and on. If nothing else, you'll greatly increase your playlist ;) Enjoy!
🇬🇧 "Evil Woman" "Don't Bring Me Down" "Mr Blue Sky" " , Telephone Line" "Do Ya" "Rockaria" & the list goes on. Guys, ELO are my Number One All Time Favourite Band. Lead singer (Jeff Lynn) is a genius, he's amazing. They have a plethora of "hits" for you to react to. I think you're going to love em, (at least I hope you do). ❤🎼🎶
This is the result of true pro's man. No fuckin around and can reproduce their tunes live. At their peak they were untouchable on vinyl and live. One of the best shows i have seen.
***** All of these Musicians are Classically Trained. Saw Them in LA when Laser Effects were first New. White Satin Tuxedos & introduced by Tony Curtis & folks were yelling "HOUDINI."! 🎉
ELO is from England. This is a jam! But this band had tremendous success with so many songs - "Mr. Blue Sky", "Telephone Line", "Evil Woman", "Turn to Stone", "Don't Bring Me Down", "Living Thing"...and more. Their hits never stop! This band found a style of their own. During this era of music the artists still made their OWN music without feeling the pressure of the record companies telling them how to make them and what was a hit. So many artists took liberties with their music back then and the risks often times paid off.
I LOVE ELO! My sister saw them in concert in the 70's and had all of their albums. I then got all of their albums and cd's. They are AMAZING! I love all of their music. I especially love "One Summer Dream" and "Livin' Thing", "Midnight Blue", and so many more. If you haven't seen it yet be sure and check out their concert tour video ELO - Zoom Tour Live. They are still absolutely phenomenally gifted!! Definitely worth going down the ELO rabbit hole!!
In the 70's, when this was released and ELO was at it's most popular , Glam rock was a big thing, it continued into the 80's and looking fem was part of it. Burt Cummings wrote Glamour Boy about it and how he isn't going to follow the tread.
Mr. blue sky and telephone line are phenomenal ones that you would love to react to, they are a very eclectic band. Sometimes in some of their music, they have the most comparison to the Beatles that I could remember.
ELO has been my favourite band of all time. Saw Jeff Lynne’s ELO a number of years ago, row 6. Going to see them again in a month. This song is probably their 10th most popular one of all time, as others have mentioned. Mr. Blue Sky, Turn to Stone, etc. etc. are amazing. Jeff Lynne is a LEGEND, has roots with the Beatles and others. Thanks for sharing and let’s have more ELO songs!!!!!!
I've heard of it and I've heard it, but I couldn't have hummed it before it started playing. Also, the first notes of the chorus "last train to London" reminds me of Horace Wimp, and I kept wanting to hear that instead. Not sure why.
The lead singer is from ‘Birmingham U.K. I think the song is about meeting a girl but she had to get back to London so ending their liaison, a great band with my favourite album being “time”.
OMG I thought I was the only one that thought that part sounded like Mary Tyler Moore,lol,and I`ve been listening to this song since it first came out.
Yes it is very disco (the album was called Discovery which we called Disco Very!) and there was a little bad talk at the time. But it was ELO so we all got over it!
That's what happens when you choose the video with the most views 😉 You have to remember that many videos of their most popular songs were taken down, making this one look more popular than it really is 😅
The one synthesizer used in the middle solo is the Yamaha CS-80. It's one of the most expensive synthesizers you can buy used. The other synthesizer is the Moog Polymoog. That synth was used in Gary Numan's song Cars. The Yamaha CS-80 is available as a emulation from Arturia. You can buy it separately or part of the Arturia V-Collection 10. The V-Collection 10 has over 30 instruments. Check it out.
You have a good excuse for not knowing this song if you're American. "Last Train to London" wasn't popular in America compared to the UK. It spent a few weeks on the Hot 100 in early 1980, peaking at 39 a bit over 44 years ago. ELO fans in the states should know it from the 1979 album "Discovery", which was certified double platinum in America by 1997.
If you have never seen Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty and Prince do a version of George Harrison's While My Guitar Gently Weeps at his Rock & Roll HOF induction, you must check it out! Epic.
Jeff Lynne is from my home City of Birmingham, UK and is a great musician and producer. Yes E.L.O. are a British group. They sound just as good live as they did on the studio versions.
Jeff Lynne is a musical genius. "SHOWDOWN" from ELO's 2014 concert in London's Hyde Park, and "EVIL WOMAN", performed at London's Wembley Stadium in 2017 are a definitive must! ELO is a fabulously deep rabbit hole!
My fave band. Check out their Out Of The Blue concert. Their name came from what is often called a "light-orchestra," meaning a violin and a few cellos and they added in electric guitars, and it's an electric light-orchestra. Mik, the "blue violinist" still plays a blue violin. One of the nicest guys you'll ever meet.
ELO have a ton of songs that will blow you away- just the creativity and thought that has gone into the production- Jeff Lynne’s voice is phenomenal; depending on what you’re in the mood for they have a bit of everything- upbeat fun tracks and downbeat ballads that will make the hairs on your neck stand up… would love some more 👍👍
ELO were huge all over the world back in the 70s.... I may be wrong but i think ELO were the first band to add Electric guitar pick ups to orchestral string instruments to get their unique sound...... More ELO please BP....... Mister Blue Sky......
I saw them in 1978 live in Philadelphia. The guys moved all over the stage with their instruments. It was crazy good. Please check out more of their music, you won’t be disappointed.
Money depends on the contract the band signs. In ELO, Jeff Lynne probably got more of the money because he wrote the songs, played multiple instruments and sang.
You have reacted to my two favourite bands.... The Electric Light Orchestra my lifetime favourites since the mid 70s and still plus Nightwish with Floor Jansen who I first heard 2 years ago at the age of 56. The Electric Light Orchestra like Nightwish is a deep, deep rabbit hole well worth investigating. ELO's "Last Train to London" is from the Discovery album that many call Disco Very due to a number of the album tracks have a disco vibe unlike most of their previous material that blended orchestral components with rock and opera. A unique sounding band that has transcended the ages. 🙏😊👍❤️
Now you are getting into a band that kicked ass! Telephone Line, Don’t Bring Me Down and on and on. They were just pure talent. Jeff Lynn lead singer was with another band The Traveling Wilbury’s who were great too. It included George Harrison of the Beatles and their shows were just something else with all the lights and sound effects.
Their catalog of songs is so extensive and no one ever came close to sounding like them before or since. Every single song is very different and all came from the genius of Jeff Lynn. He wrote as many as 50 for other artists including the Beatles and for 3 of the Beatles when the became solo artists. There is a video on UA-cam of the 50 songs he wrote for other artists. Sorry for going so long but there is so much from this mana career. BTW..he just announced dates for his next tour.
Group is from Birmingham UK-they were first called The Move-then morphed into Wizzard-then became ELO. To me their best work is side 3 of the album Out Of the Blue-Concerto For A Rainy day which is comprised of four songs that blend together-the first song sounding as if you're in a storm (Standin In The Rain) with the final song Mr. Blue Sky breaking out into an endless sunny day. A magnificent album side that will "wow" you in amazement.
Great band with a whole string of bangers. Jeff Lynne is the guy who headed up the band. He was a big fan of the beatles and tried to emulate some of their stuff while staying in his one lane. He was also in the Traveling Wilburys with a whole slew of other famous musicians ( Tom Petty, George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan) He is just an amazing song writer. Other songs to try, The Jungle, Mr Blue Skies (Weezer are huge fans and covered this on their teal album), Don't Bring Me Down. Turn to Stone, Living Thing, Sweet Talkin Woman, the list goes on and on.
ELO is my favorite band of all time. They have a heavy Beatles influence however no one sounds like ELO. Jeff Lynne actually produced the Beatles later on and he was in a group The Traveling Wilbur's with George Harrison. This song would not have been my first pick, although I'm happy to see you really liked it. They are known for putting out the best vibes and happiest songs! There are a lot of individual videos from 2017 Live from Wembley concert to choose from next! All over the world Living Thing and Mr Blue Sky are all pure joy! Dont Bring me down, evil woman, sweet talkin woman all great!
"Mister Blue Sky" is officially the most happy song in Pop-History.
You can't be grumpy after listening to it. Check it out!
LOVE "Mr. Blue Sky" ... THE sound of the late 70s ...
That is TRUTH! The MOST upbeat song ever.
Mr. Blue Sky is such a happy song! Please react to it! Love this channel and will join soon.
Yes please react to it and telephone line too
Yes !!! I wholeheartedly agree !
Jeff Lynne(singer) joined George Harrison, Tom Petty and Roy Orbison in the band The Traveling Wilburys.
Don't forget Bob Dylan.

This can't be their most popular song. I'm 53 and never heard it before. Evil Woman and don't bring me down are fire❤

This is one of the greatest things about music from the 1970s! All the different types of instrumentation and now everyone just samples and autotunes!

Yeah they're from the UK, Birmingham. "Mr Blue Sky" is a catchy tune.
I'm 61. I've never heard of it. My favorite is "Mr Blue Sky." You guys were so kind. I'm like "nah " 😂
Mr. Blue Sky came on in my playlist yesterday. It’s such a great song! 🎶 😊
I've heard of it and I've heard it, but I couldn't have hummed it before it started playing. Also, the first notes of the chorus "last train to London" reminds me of Horace Wimp, and I kept wanting to hear that instead. Not sure why.

One of the best concerts I have ever been to. They just announced their final tour dates. Must go if you get a chance.
Thanks for the info.
I saw a tribute band last summer who were fantastic, but I'd love to see the real deal.
🇬🇧 Lead singer (Jeff Lynn) vocals, guitar, songwriter, producer, genius. ❤🎼🎶🎙️
Just sit back and listen to ELO backlist 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
One of their early hits was Roll Over Beethoven. They went heavier on the strings then than later on, but no mistake, it's a banger.
❤the intro to this song reminds me of the disco hit Boogie Nights😊😊
One the many soundtracks of my youth. ELO playing on my Walkman as I hitched around the UK and Europe.
Thank you for your reaction. If you are willing to hear more of this band I recommend I'm Alive , and All Over the World. I like your channel.
Strange choice for an ELO first time, but I'm here for it!
Does it sound like a bit of disco?
Yes it is very disco (the album was called Discovery which we called Disco Very!) and there was a little bad talk at the time. But it was ELO so we all got over it!
That's what happens when you choose the video with the most views 😉
You have to remember that many videos of their most popular songs were taken down, making this one look more popular than it really is 😅
On Spotify Mr blue sky has 900+ million views. Their next most popular with just 300 million is don't bring me down.
I always like this song more than "Don't bring me down". Maybe because it was less overplayed in radio.
You got to listen to them doing, Living Thing.
The one synthesizer used in the middle solo is the Yamaha CS-80. It's one of the most expensive synthesizers you can buy used. The other synthesizer is the Moog Polymoog.

If you were listening to Rock radio stations, they wouldn't have played this because it's Disco, but they would have played songs like Evil Woman.
I'm 60, love ELO and have never heard this song.

Electric light orchestra are great!! Yes great voice and song
Jeff Lynne was also one of the Traveling Wilburys, with George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, and others.

Jeff Lynne is from my home City of Birmingham, UK and is a great musician and producer. Yes E.L.O. are a British group. They sound just as good live as they did on the studio versions.
Jeff Lynne is a musical genius.
"SHOWDOWN" from ELO's 2014 concert in London's Hyde Park, and "EVIL WOMAN", performed at London's Wembley Stadium in 2017 are a definitive must!
ELO is a fabulously deep rabbit hole!
My fave band. Check out their Out Of The Blue concert. Their name came from what is often called a "light-orchestra," meaning a violin and a few cellos and they added in electric guitars, and it's an electric light-orchestra. Mik, the "blue violinist" still plays a blue violin. One of the nicest guys you'll ever meet.
Do ELO's "Prologue+Twilight" next. This is from their futuristic concept album Time.
ELO have a ton of songs that will blow you away- just the creativity and thought that has gone into the production- Jeff Lynne’s voice is phenomenal; depending on what you’re in the mood for they have a bit of everything- upbeat fun tracks and downbeat ballads that will make the hairs on your neck stand up… would love some more 👍👍
ELO were huge all over the world back in the 70s.... I may be wrong but i think ELO were the first band to add Electric guitar pick ups to orchestral string instruments to get their unique sound...... More ELO please BP....... Mister Blue Sky......
My favourite band of all time. Been listening to them all my life. You should listen to some of their more recent concert at Wembley... very good.
Yes ELO!!!! Seen live in the 80's. One of the best bands
Hair is 🔥 to some of us ladies. 😊
I get ya though, you're right.
My generation loved this group! Many happy times. Thanks gentlemen.
From here this catalog only gets more fantastic! So love ELO. Need to go back for more deep cuts now!
Love ELO! Never heard this one, though! They have mad bangers, but definitely check our Evil Woman!
I really like ELO. It's nice that you're now dedicating yourself to this great band. Thanks!
I saw them in 1978 live in Philadelphia. The guys moved all over the stage with their instruments. It was crazy good. Please check out more of their music, you won’t be disappointed.
The fall and don't walk away videos from Xanadu and telephone line are my favorites from ELO
I also immediately thought of the Mary Tyler Moore show theme song BP 😂
Oh and Jeff Lynne is a huge fan of the Beatles and uses the harmonising noticably.
Discovery / A new World Record. Pure ELO gold, from the 70's when we had music, music, and more music.
Money depends on the contract the band signs. In ELO, Jeff Lynne probably got more of the money because he wrote the songs, played multiple instruments and sang.

Great band with a whole string of bangers. Jeff Lynne is the guy who headed up the band. He was a big fan of the beatles and tried to emulate some of their stuff while staying in his one lane. He was also in the Traveling Wilburys with a whole slew of other famous musicians ( Tom Petty, George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan) He is just an amazing song writer. Other songs to try, The Jungle, Mr Blue Skies (Weezer are huge fans and covered this on their teal album), Don't Bring Me Down. Turn to Stone, Living Thing, Sweet Talkin Woman, the list goes on and on.
This needs to be only the FIRST song you react to by this great band with a unique sound!
Sou brasileira e essa música tocou muito no Brasil 🤩💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
Jeff Lynne’s ELO is the life concert in 2017, the life clips are so good.
Mr. Blue Sky was there greatest hit all over the world.❤
This is my favourite ELO song.❤🦘🇦🇺
ELO is my favorite band of all time. They have a heavy Beatles influence however no one sounds like ELO. Jeff Lynne actually produced the Beatles later on and he was in a group The Traveling Wilbur's with George Harrison. This song would not have been my first pick, although I'm happy to see you really liked it. They are known for putting out the best vibes and happiest songs! There are a lot of individual videos from 2017 Live from Wembley concert to choose from next! All over the world Living Thing and Mr Blue Sky are all pure joy! Dont Bring me down, evil woman, sweet talkin woman all great!
This was a Brummie (denizens of Birmingham, England, Britain’s second largest city) band. They had so many wonderful hits.
