Bev Bevan, one of the most incredible British drummers, ever!!!!
I agree with you
I never really listened to it properly before, but there were triples in some of those drum rolls, sensational !!
Bev Bevan drummed for Black Sabbath on tour
Agree with you bandfromtheband 🎯
bev bevan and phill collins !
This is probably the best instrumental song ever recorded!
Agreed👍👍👍
Yes! absolutely especialy the 2 bridges at 4:43 and 6:36....Oh man that just grabs me I think about LIFE ,Humanity,People I have met,Things I have done, Places I have seen. Wonderful, Wonderful,Wonderful It pulls at my emotions and I sort of get teary eyed.
The song is not exactly an instrumental. If you listen closely at the end, you can hear like a choir singing the words "Fire on high" over and over.
@@j.woodbury412 ...it's an instrumental.
@@EaganChris copy and paste.
One MAN came up with all these great songs. He is still doing it too.
I've been saying this for years, and I will say it till I die: Jeff Lynne is probably the greatest composer of the past 50 years. "Living Thing" changed my life within the first 10 seconds I heard it. The moment I heard it, I knew my life would never be the same. And I was right. If I met Jeff Lynne, I would bow low before him and say, "Thank you. Thank you. Thank you."
ELO IS where the spirit of the Beatles went. Period. Lennon himself said so.
I love Bev's drumming on this
I love playing air drums to this song.
The beginning reads when reversed "The Music Is Reversable but Time is not...turn back..turn back....TURN BACK!"
I was going to say the same thing but you beat me to it. I don't know that backward masking is even decipherable in this digital age, no vinyl album to manually turn backwards. This is one of my favorites from ELO.
The album Secret Messages has a lot of baxk masking.
because if you could understand the message, you were turning the record backwards and the needle would fall off the record as this was the first song. Jeff Lynne loved to do stuff like that.
This was due to the bizarre response of some American fundamentalist Christians who said that “Eldorado,’” the previous album, had backwards satanic messages embedded in the music.
Nice to Read someone got it right!!!
Used to hear this every weekend on CBS Sports Spectacular in the late 70's. A portion of the song was used as the theme song...
It was one of the reasons I'd tune in to watch CBS back in the day. I loved loved loved the intro using this song. Jim Hill and this song were a staple for my sports news LOL
@Jack Bauer short answer: www.answers.com/Q/Jim_hill_CBS_sports_theme_song_from_back_in_the_80s
@Jack Bauer sorry, tired and lazy, but I'll find it.
@Jack Bauer Having a hard time finding video, but there is a mention on the CBS wiki page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL_on_CBS
Search for Fire On High on the page.
I used to specifically wait up to watch Jim Hill's broadcast just to listen to Fire On High sync'd with sports hits and great plays.
I'll keep searching... there's gotta be video somewhere!
@Jack Bauer ok, to be more clear. Click my link, then do a search within the page itself looking for the text Fire On High. Do not use the search function of Wikipedia as that defeats what I'm trying to show you.
Listen too one summer dream from the same album it is stunningly beautiful
That is a gorgeous song! One Summer Dream by ELO is one of my faves by them.
Yes! Probably my favorite ELO song.
OSD arguably their best ever song and should have been released as a single. Check out the version by the female lead singer of Propaganda
I'm 65 and this song still sounds fresh and I was just a young lad from Brum when this song came out.
At the beginning the chaos seemed to show on Kel's face pretty well. When they started resolving the cacophany that also showed. Moving from chaos to resolution is a musical device that has to be carefully done and here i think ELO nailed it.
You are on point. Thanks
This would be my favorite ELO song. It gets me thinking about LIFE,Humanity,People you have met,Things you have done,Places you have seen. The very best part of the song starts at 4:43 to 5:50 and than again at 6:36 to 7:27. those are my absolute favorite parts of the song!! Its like those 2 bridge pieces were good short but if you played them to long it would not be the same. So it was Brilliantly done! Your wife Kel's reactions are Pricless!! Way to go!
I for one absolutely love ELO
Since Kel is a cello player I suggest listening to 10538 Overture !!!
John P Olivas love that song 👍
The first album is still my favorite. Too bad Roy didn't stick around longer.
One of my favourite pieces. 💕So raw and brave for the time it came out. Perfect. 🇬🇧
It's just amazing piece of music. It's uniquely brilliant.
I love how she kept her eyes closed during this masterpiece.
One of my fave ELO tunes.
The intro always creeped me out. But, when the song got going, it became a beautiful instrumental.
Like Mick said : This is probably the best instrumental song ever recorded! ELO the best ever!!!
How well I remember this. One of my favorite songs by ELO. Brings back great memories for me.
This album, along with the previous "Eldorado", was part of the transition between their rougher, more experimental earlier sound (with lone violin and cello playing band members more at the fore and a leaner sound) and their evolution into a lush, power pop band (but still with shades of prog) augmented by scores of studio musicians. For me, nothing matches the song suite on side one of their third album, "On the Third Day", which precedes "Eldorado."
Yes! The Ocean Breakup Suite. I agree, and its also my absolute favorite.
My youngest son cried when he heard Telephone line …..he had just broken up with his first crush in high school. lol
If you don't like ELO, there's something wrong with you!
Fire on High is a great song to listen to if you want to drive real fast!
Yes, it was on one of the sports programs. Back in the 70's, the theme of the guitar riff was the main theme of CBS Sports Spectacular, and if I remember correctly, it played during a brief clip of one boxer (I think it was Roberto Duran) hitting a guy against the ropes with hook after hook.
Wonderful music and reaction! I really think you would appreciate another British band ... The Alan Parsons Project. "Pipeline" is a very beautiful instrumental. Cheers from Sweden.
Håkan Selsfors APP IS GREAT DAmmed if I do
Also Siruis.
Love I Robot
Hey dude (& dudette) -- haven't seen much you lately, but reviewing your "Fire On High" reaction (I got to play it live)
!), I couldn't help but think Kel would thoroughly appreciate the 'chestra's "The Whale". It would surely harken back to her classical upbringing while sharing the breadth of musical sound you both love in ELO. Stay well!
Mission is one of my favourite tracks would love to see kels reaction to it 😀
The drums are awesome on this one
Bev Bevan!
He double tracked his drum parts for this song - had to be very precise - gives a fatter sound
I have this album on vinyl. I love face the music
This is the first time I've heard this song as well.
Played backwards, the reversed vocals at the beginning of the song are "The music is reversible but time is not. Turn back. Turn back. Turn back".
Remember hearing that in 1976. But was too scared to find out if it was correct.
I actually have the album, and when you play it backwards it says, "this album is reversible but time is not, turn back, turn back, turn back"....
The "Music" is reversible.... I know that for sure, i ruined a lot of needles playing the beginning of this song backward....LOL....
Jeff Lynne made the intro like that because there was a large group of people saying one of there songs was satanic so it was a joke Jeff played on them.
If you play the record backwards the words are “ the music is reversible but time is not, turn back turn back turn back”
The song that turned me on to ELO. I was stationed at Lowry AFB in Denver in1975 and a TV station used part of this song as a lead in for one of their local produced shows. One of my all time favorite instrumentals.❤️❤️❤️
And of course, you need to play the beginning of this song backwards. 😉
One if the best ELO songs ever.
Greetings from the Pacific Northwest! Please, please, react to the Eldorado Overature, into Can't Get it Out of My Head?! So happy you're giving ELO some love. I feel like the Beatles get too much recognition & credit, and other bands stay in the spotlight because of movies & rumors of reuniting, while ELO somehow gets glossed over for some reason. Anyway, thanks for acknowledging the mind blowing music & genius of, Jeff Lynn. Take care.
On of the best Music Masterpiece of the 1970's. Face The Music , was ELO 5th album and an excellent one.
6th album if you count “ Ole ELO”!
Lynne worked with the Threetles on the Anthology (Free as a Bird, etc.)
I was 9 years old when this came out. My brother bought face the music. Side 1 track 1 FIRE ON HIGH. he told me he found it in a graveyard. For months I believed him. It used to scare the Hebee jebees out of me ..However, I think its in my top 6 favourite ELO tracks. Along with evil women, so fine, living thing,,tightrope, sweet talkin woman
I think this was the theme song for A.B.C. wide world of sports?
The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat!
your right
I thought it was CBS?
It was actually CBS Sports Spectacular.
I have to go with ABC versus CBS..."Thrill of victory and agony of defeat" clinches it in my memory...Of course, it's now an old memory!!
The album version contains an opening with a backwards message. When the song is played in reverse, the message, in a masked heavy voice (performed by ELO drummer, Bev Bevan), can be heard stating, "The music is reversible but time is not. Turn back. Turn back. Turn back. Turn back."
In my opinion a couple of bongs always goes great with this classic tune
It was Roy Wood who picked up the mantel and named ELO
They played this as their intro song in concert. Epic!
Why won't they put it on a compilation?
Kel’s smart to close her eyes when listening to ELO. Videos can be a distraction from their great compositions.
The back cover of that album is awesome it’s the group looking through a window looking at an execution
I'm sure someone has mentioned it but 'One Summer Dream' by ELO.
5th album
This is elite ELO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love you guys, hello from Scotland, I bought my first my first E.L.O single in 1973 showdown , Shangri la Will be played at my funeral
I'll be in Inverness next year! Clan Campbell Rocks! So does Jeff and ELO!
The rhythm guitar chord progression on this is my favorite of all time.
Request: Roxy Music's "Both Ends Burning"... 8^D | Thumbs up to y'all! 8^)))
Ah! The old backwards masking trick. I remember this being one of the songs of having hidden satanic messages. So silly. Great composition.
Not really masked, though, since Jeff meant for it to sound like backward speech simply for dramatic effect.
Opening track 5th album
Another good ELO is tightrope. Great use of strings.
Since plugged-in symphonic excites Kel I would suggest trying out Alan Parsons Project. You could ease in with Eye in the Sky, Time and Voyager/What Goes Up. Then I think she would love Silence and I. It’s a feast of sounds.
Frank McBride YES
Jeff Lynn is his own taste man. The Beatles are absolutely arrogant if they think they could produce anything close to what he did
I am a huge Beatles fan and i agree with you, Jeff Lynne is the very best ever!
5th album. Not second album
Madness ...
Their second album was "ELO 2" (that's how I was first introduced to their music). It was the album that featured one of my favorites (ELO's version of "Roll Over Beethoven") plus it marked the departure of Roy Wood (the band's former leader). Their first album did however produce "10538 Overture" which is another GREAT ELO song. As previously mentioned, "Fire On High" was the opening track of their 5'th album "Face the Music".
"10538 Overture" was originally going to be the 'B' side of The Move's "When Alice Comes Back To The Farm". Roy Wood added heavy cello riffs to "10538" after the other band members had gone home for the night, When Jeff Lynne heard what Roy had done to his song, he loved it and declared that is ELO, Jeff added "Overture" to the title and ELO's first recording was made. Rick Price wasn't interested in ELO so he left the band for a solo career, Roy erased Rick Price's bass track and rerecorded it himself. The eventual 'B' side of When Alice..... was another Jeff Lynne song called "What".
You two better keep your day jobs.
Thank you. So far you 2 are the only ones to do this. First time I heard this was in grammer school field trip to a light show at the planetarium. And loved the group ever since.
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".
Can you imagine being asleep at night with the radio coming on, and all of a sudden THIS song comes on?!!!! This actually happened to me one night. I had never heard it before and I was like "WHAT THE HELL?!"
"Now... hold on there big rig. Gear down." LOL
I forgot how cool this jam was. Please react to:
Roy Harper- The Same Old Rock.
Face The Music. One of the greatest albums of the '70's. Fire On High. One of the greatest songs of all time. Such great memories!!!
I was thirteen years old when I bought this album in 1975 and the first thing I did when getting home that day was play the beginning of this song backwards on my crummy portable turntable because I wanted to know what that dark voice was saying. I discovered that he said { The music is reversible, turn back, turn back, turn back. I thought that was just plain cool.
Same here...And same age LOL...Face The Music is a fantastic album.
Watch the movie, "Back Beat." Ian Hart played Lennon and STEVEN dORFF (mANNY IN "sCARFACE") playeg the real 5th. Beatle--that being Stuart Sutcliffe. Type in "Back Beat music" in this tube to get the jist of it all.
I love you guys.
A classic....along with the overture from El dorado....
He's GOD. Jeff Lynne is musical GENIUS. No better. Plat the entire Out of the Blue Album.
No, Jeff is not God. But his musical talent is a gift from God!
My favorite ELO song. I have the purple opaque .45!
I remember when I first got that album and I had to adjust my turntable belt to play it backwards. NOW THAT IS A DELIBERATE BACKWARD MESSAGE AND NO QUESTION ABOUT IT! LOL! Actually, the acoustic parts of the song are going forward and reversed continuously.
Kel....W/your background in classical music/piano, would like to get your opinion/review/critique of some instrumental offerings......Pipeline Sequence-Honk, Endless Summer theme-The Sandals, Zero to Sixty in Five-Pablo Cruise, Black Sand-Kalapana, Breezin'-George Benson, Samba Pa Ti/Europa-Carlos Santana & Chase The Clouds Away/Fun & Games-Chuck Mangione
Jeff has a way of making music that each tune has a brilliant start and an even brilliant ending to a tune, what goes on in middle tune doesn't matter. as long as the listener enjoys the start and finish, the tune becomes enormous. by the way, i'm in the uk.
Hey there Kel & Rich. It is so good to see you both. Just wanted to point something out here for you and that is: That the particular version of this song that you've chosen to react to? It has been massaged, by who knows what? We only know that the Video has been changed as well as the Audio, which has had the Volume "Corrected" too. This is a Huge No-No.
That's how it begins, with getting people like you to accept this as "Okay" or "Normal." It is NOT Okay nor Normal. So, do we know who applied all of this "Correcting?" Were they a Certified Audiologist? Were they provided by the Band, with their thumbs-up? I'm sorry you two, but this is quickly becoming an issue, because our Music and it's history is being corrupted and erased, all while right under our noses. Example: "Just a few days ago I wanted to react to someone that was going to be reacting to a song by Led Zeppelin, which is titled "A Whole Lotta Love," from their 2nd album. Well the version that they were listening to Said that this was a "Remastered Version" from 2008. So, I'm listening to this song and ALL of the Stereo, Left to Right & Back again, was completely removed! I got so angry... So, who was the person that was Narcissistic enough to think that they knew what was best, even more so than the producers. The really scary part of this, is that if no one calls them out on this shit, it won't be long before this "Remastered" bull shit becomes the new normal. Gee, it must be better because it was remastered in 2008, right? WRONG! These mental midgets need to keep their hands OFF of our Music! I actually came upon a song a few days ago where someone had applied this "Auto-Tune" bull shit... and this was a song by Pink Floyd, of all Bands. No, this is scary, you two. Won't you please help, as you can, to NOT Promote the ways of these Arrogant Assholes?!
Please... Preserve our Music and its History. Keep it Original & Keep it Accurate.
Remain Well & reasonably Happy too. Keep Smiling always... Cheers...
Well...you spoke about The Beatles there......you should listen to Pauls little brother Mike McGear, the album from 1974 (McGear). Alot of good tracks there! Keep it up.....good channel here and funny reactions.
The Movie Scene that was used for the Video ,is from : THE DANCER Official Trailer (2017) Lily-Rose Depp, Biograhy Movie HD : ua-cam.com/video/jTYdFufnDco/v-deo.html
Harder🤘🏻Yeahh! Progrock top league!
OH yes, back to the 70ths. What a time. Discovery of fantastic music!
Still goosebumps
9:09 😆 lol. The intro was a deliberate, not-so-veiled jab at ultra Christian fanatics who went about accusing rock bands of deliberately putting subliminally demonic messages into their recordings, which is entirely untrue. So Jeff made the recording to reflect that, not only by the song, but by the album cover and some of the other song titles such as Evil Woman, Nightrider & Strange Magic. The album cover is brilliant, showing an electric chair with a puff of smoke, depicting someone being sent off to eternal torment. The title is brilliant too.
Some fun here if you already hadn't researched it yourselves. Fire On High intro played in reverse

I suggest Hold On Tight by ELO for "Joy and Musical bliss" as you refer to it. It's very upbeat and has a great message.
Accroches-toi a ton reve
Horror, mystery, awakening rocking majesty ELO ..... so glad you enjoyed the ride
CBS NFL Today Show theme song early mid 70s..... true story.... never mind my age...
It's weird how many "Fifth Beatles" there were. Pete Best - first drummer, Billy Preston - did many of the keyboards, Jeff Lynn - some production, and of course George Martin to count a few. But I digress. Jeff Lynn is a superstar in his own right. Check out his War of the Worlds masterpiece!
I remember hearing this song at Phillies games at the Vet in the 1990s, loving the guitar riff, but not knowing its title. I told my mom about it and she researched and told me, "I think it's 'Fire On High'". I looked it up on the Web to see what album it's on, and actually found a three-pack of ELO that includes the CDs *Discovery*, *Face The Music*, and *A New World Record*.
The beginning sounds like a Horror movie?? It gets worse. Dont play it backwards, you'll feel similar to the first time you saw The Exorcist. I have this album on vinyl and tried playing it backwards about 40 years ago and I couldn't sleep for a few days, I was that freaked out
In the late 70s and early 80s this used to be played on sport's center
No it was played on CBS Sportspectacular.
This song used to play on a ride in funtown usa in Maine. You would go inside this dome. It would be dark inside. Then you would climb into these spinning wheels and get ready for the ride to start up. Then this song would start to play and the ride would start to whisk you around. The breeze in your face, music playing and then they projected things on the dome. It was so relaxing.
I’ve never seen a video with this superb instrumental. Thanks for sharing 🤩 movie was Pulp Fiction in case ya forgot
What a band and a great track. Who thinks up of this stuff? Geniuses do. Geniuses don't care what others think because they know what they do is great. Thanks for sharing and this band was unreal to see live in their prime. Total electricity.
Jeff Lynne is a Music God.
...wasn't the whole backwards bit a jab at the "Satanic masking panic" going on at the time? Obviously, Jeff Lynne cared a *little,* if only enough to mock it.
"Fire on High" was used as the opening theme for the CBS network show "CBS Sports Spectacular". The CBS version of ABCs "Wide World of Sports" show in the mid-1970s.
Strongly advise listening to ELO's 'Twilight' for a typical ELO sound. Many thanks for your channel.
8:53 Their 5th album, but I'm sure you already knew that and 2nd album was spoken accidentally.
Even more than the beatles...ELO just takes you to another planet.The choir is a big part of it.
You need to try "Need Her Love" by ELO
That's a triple backflip from FOH but I also love the song off Disco very album. 👍
The beginning of Lynne's obssesion of Backmasked Messages.
That started with the Idle Race
Could you react to Four Horseman by Metallica??
Fire On High - excellent shout!
FYI Kel Pomeraininans sere originally Big Dogs like Malamutes. Snow Dogs
Played on CBS Sports Spectacular in the 70’s. ( the acoustic guitar solos)
"The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat!"
That was ABC’s Wide World of Sports
