reminds me of the 1970's station wagon my folks had (like in 70's show) traveling across the United States with the family... seeing America family vacation style.. ELO, Wings, and Jackson Browne on the AM dial... throughout the AM airwaves state to state.
75 and somehow missed the phenomena that was ELO in😊 the70s. Strange Magic, Can’t Get It Out Of My Head, and Evil Woman are 3 tunes I vaguely remember hearing mainly as background music that I didn’t pay much attention to back then. I wish I had. Thank goodness for UA-cam.
I'm trying to do the math. I'm 67, I'm very close to 50 years if I'm not there already. I used to play air violin in my barracks room when nobody was watching. I joined the Army when I was 17. Anyway, close enough! It's magic.
I actually get tears in my eyes when I hear these Songs and think back to how great times were then . We DEFINITELY had the best generation of Music and people , HANDS DOWN 😁😁😁
Right ELO should rightfully be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. More talent in The little finger of Jeff Lynn than a lot of one hit wonders inducted.
You can keep your McCartney's, Lennon's, Jagger's and all the other so called stars. Jeff and ELO kept me going through my hospitalised youth. And Jeff is so, so underrated as a writer and performer. I grew up with his music in the 70's and 80's and still listen to it now. Remembering just how _"normal"_ the world was back then.
@@phantomstratocaster You can keep your mind young and fresh, but not your body ;-))... I see kids playing football for instance and think, _"I'll join in with them. Used to be pretty good at footy in my youth."_ And 1 minute later, when you're lying on the ground with the kids surrounding you, asking if you're OK, you suddenly remember why you stopped playing football 30 years ago. Knee problem. 8-))...
This band was an escape for me when I was a little girl. I grew up on the Indian Reservation and it wasn't easy! But,my cousin and would sit in my room with locked doors to keep the bad uncle away. We would sing and pretend we were different people. I love E.L.O!
Bring back the days the airwaves were filled the sounds of E.L.O., Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac, Journey, Eagles, Little River Band and so many more! Today's music is woefully inadequate!
I agree, that's why I love UA-cam. You can go back to the 70s and never leave the house. If there's ever a time machine Im on it. Send me to the 70s and I will stay.
ELO one of the best groups of the 70s. Jeff Lyne is an absolute musical genius. Listened to these guys for hours at a time and enjoyed every minute of it.
There's nothing 'strange' about the level of talent & musical ability that is Jeff Lynne & ELO. They churned out so many amazing hits & one of the most electrifying instrumental songs in rock, that being "FIRE ON HIGH". Timeless.
Some people can't see beyond their insecurities James, nice retort, and your original comment was spot on. Lynne is one of those rare singers who don't need a studio to sound as good as anything they've put out.
I wasn't even born then, but I wish I could go back in time and say "Hi" to my mom, who passed in 2011. But I'd LOVE to meet young Bev and young Jeff. Bev was a total hottie, but so was Jeff.
@floralmist6824 you would have loved to be alive back in the 70s a teenager. I saw so many of the best rock bands. living in North Philadelphia all the big bands came to Philly. saw the who 5 times Bruce Springsteen 4 times. black Sabbath with Ozzy queen with Freddy. I could go on and on. but it wasn't just the great rock music. everything was great and like you said. your mom would be alive. same here mom and dad would still be with us. but am 65 so I guess I will be going wherever they are.
@JimWelsh-f6l only I wasnt born yet in 76. 80's. But Im sure there were cool groups in the 90s. I was born in Ohio but lived in Virginia Beach in the late 90s. All the cool groups were on the radio haha Then moved to Atlanta in 2001. Tons of concerts there! I hate driving to Philly. I dont like anything about Philly. Bet it was cool back then. Nothing good in Philly now. Get this... one of these Jeff Lynne videos a guy was saying he couldn't compete with Taylor Swift! Im like there is absolutely zero comparison. Jeff wins everytime!

How many Saturday afternoons, when kids really played outside, with no Wi-Fi, no Facebook friends, no cell phone, listening to Casey Kasem's top 40 with all these 70s tunes competing on the charts. Was the greatest time to grow up. Now it's the greatest of memories, to stay young. 1965-?
IT'S APRIL 04, 2024! STILL IN LUV WITH YOUR MUSIC ❣️ LUV FR FLAGSTAFF,ARIZONA USA ❣️ THANK U 4 ALL U GUYS/WOMEN 4 YOUR PERFECTION 2 PROVIDE THE BEST IN MUSIC ❣️
An even stranger magic Jeff, is that you think this is merely a nice little tune. This is a masterpiece. The strangest magic, is your ability to write songs, that tear at the heartstrings and souls of mere mortals and with the voice of an angel. I love you.🐨💝🦘
Agree 100%. Have a listen to Nightwish live (symphonic metal with orchestral laters) with Floor Jansen as lead singer. She also has the voice of an angel and the best vocalist that I have ever heard male or female. 🙏👍😊
I stopped listening to the music on the radio after the 90’s and that was pushing it. I understand every decade has its pros and cons, but since 2000 FORGET IT. I’m 59 btw and live in a big city and not a prude.
Jeff Lynne is known to be somewhat of a perfectionist who aims to deliver stage performances that are as good as the original studio recordings. Without a doubt, Jeff is a master producer, song writer and arranger.
That's not so good news. Excellent live concerts are better than studio outputs, think Supertramp, Genesis etc. So maybe that's a bit the problem with this concert: although its sounding very nice, it doesn't take any risks, adds no new solo's, the spaceship never encounters a clear air turbulence and everyone on stage looks so ridiculously handsome. In the end, it all starts to look and sound a bit too much sanitized, like a too well kept lawn, and misses some spontaneity. Perfection has a boring edge in the end.
@@Retroscoop I saw them when this album came out in Oakland Coliseum Arena and on a scale of 1 -10 the volume was set at 591. We wadded up napkins and plugged our ears and then we could recognize what song they were performing. It was really loud, even though I like loud music, it was beyond that of jet fighter at take off. We loved the show once we adjusted the volume.
Albatros Because back in day actual artists could sing their own songs! Yes kids we had Live Music even in College traditional Battle of new Bands! You kids had bland College years!
"...can never die. There's more to it than meets the eye." I always thought ELO was too commercial. I have a tendency not listen to what the radio plays... anyway, I watched Jeff's involvement with the other bands and I always had this idea that Jeff was more than the leader of a band. As it turns out, he's probably a Catastrophist, which is cool, because I can prove the science to you, but that Jeff knows is my fun way of dealing with the knowledge. Can't prove it, but I could make you wonder. lol Anyway, I've been listen to ELO now... a lot.
Funny you should mention that quote from John Lennon. Upon returning to the U. S. in late 1974 from an 8-month Med. Cruise on the USS Blakely DE1072, e had been isolated from top-40 radio for quite sometime. When we approached the East coast of the U.S. and came into reach of Hit Radio stations, someone out on deck had a radio turned up and we heard this song "Can't Get it Out of My Head". All of us thought it was a new song by Lennon (maybe even a new Beatles Reunion Song). Not to mention the 3 surviving Beatles hired Jeff to produce their 1995 single releases of one of John's long lost songs........Sorry about the long rant.
Still listening in 2024.. Living in Twilight, but not the groovy vampire movie with all those handsome kelpie or cryptic creatures. It hasn't dated at all! Love it ❤
Jeff Lynne is a 🐐. His writing and creativity is like no other. You will never hear lyrics like this in this time. I saw him live in VA I did not want to leave. ELO is got to be in the top 5 of British groups of all time.
Jeff is undoubtedly the most UNDER-RATED musicians of all time. His voice, his lyrics, putting The Wilburys together in 3 days..he is beyond awesome. Thank you Jeff, just hearing your voice is so soothing. So humble, so freaking talented..Amazing man.
@@TC-dw6wg They, Jeff, George and Bob where driving around Mulholland and Tom Petty drove past...Bob had a studio set up, he and Tom were close and then George's in with Roy pulled it together. Three days and the were at it 24/7. Egos checked at the door. It is amazing to listen to Tweeter and The Monkey Man, knowing the song and all the others came together that quickly.
Who's underating him? He's a world famous musical genuis,, inducted into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE), Songwriters Hall of Fame, just to name a few!
@USMC 73-77 , Yes, I was in Kuwait 90-92 for Desert Storm as a US Navy Corpsman with the USMC FMF, 1st Division, 1st Battalion out of Camp Pendleton, California. My original USN Duty Stations were the US Naval Hospital-Balboa, San Diego, CA and SUBTRAFAC at Point Loma, CA.
@@frandanco6289 Sorry Fran you seem so offended that I think he should get more recognition. It's just an appreciation of the man's music and talent that's all! Oh and by the way I was in high school when ELO originally formed, but thanks for taking some years off my age!
He is not underrated! There’s always gonna be somebody like you on every damn video who has to 2:13 squawk out nonsense… There is nobody that matters who doesn’t know how great this man is… He is not under rated at all… He is worshiped
Just how the hell do you nail a decades old song so well, it's barely distinguishable from the original??? (especially Strange Magic) True musical genius.
You, too, have that precision as well as accuracy required for musicians to reproduce their songs; otherwise you would not be able to compare the old (from memory) to the new (from hearing in real time.
It's amazing how Jeff Lynne has kept his wonderful voice...He will be 72 in a few months and i can't wait to see him in concert once more this Summer of 2019 in the USA and Canada. Long live Jeff Lynne's ELO!!!!
I was going to see him July 9th at the BTT center in Ft Lauderdale, but we are going on a cruise to Alaska, so I will miss him,,, very disappointed....was looking forward to taking my son.....
anofi berry yes it is. Beatiful voice. I want to go back to 1976, Sergeant in the Marine Corps. Miss those days, no worries, just take care of self and my Marines in my squad.
anofi berry your welcome. I'd do it again. My whole family was US Army, from World War Two, The Korean War, Vietnam War, Desert Storm, the War on Terrorism. I have cousins who were in the Army and younger cousins, nephews all in the Army. Im the only Marine on both sides of my family. When we have family reunions they give me down the road. I tell them Im a Marine at 62 yrs old and I can take it. So proud to have served our country. Semper Fi.
You know it's real talent when a band sounds the same live as they do in the studio. That means no electronic doodads to mask their ability (or lack thereof!) But to sound the same 40 years later? Now that is nothing short of spectacular!
Did this particular version of ELO re-record all the original ELO songs for a CD? If not then they do not sound the same live as they do in the studio ( If they did that is different). I like the ELO from the early 70's and on the group we all know and love. (Jeff, Richard, Kelly, Mik, Bev, Hugh and Melvyn). This version of ELO does not even have a violin. Yes Jeff and Richard are great but they do sound different it's not terrible but not as good to me.
Love elo rip Jeff lynne love ur music 4ever! So sorry to hear of ur passing..sing ur heart out in heaven! Love you an u r missed an never b forgotten ❤❤❤❤❤❤
There’s no accounting for dipsticks & negative Nellie’s…………this guy could melt butter with this rendition of Strange Magic…..it’s like liquid music! I can’t drink enough of it 💙💙💙💙💙
I agree 100%. I'm big ELO fan. I first heard this around March 1976. I was a United States Marine stationed at Camp LeJeune. I was in love with a local girl in Jacksonville, North Carolina. Semper Fi from an old Marine Sergeant
Strange Magic is positively one of the best songs in ELO's vast catalogue. Simply incredible with that melancholy guitar intro. Gives me goosebumps each time.
Exactly,..."strange pain in my insides"...nicely put...I felt the same way as a kid [and now] whenever I listened [or listen] to Jeff Lynne. All his songs...but the song that always floored me the most was Last Train To London.
Electric Light Orchestra is a fantastic band. What astounded me most when I saw Jeff Lynne’s ELO live in concert a couple of years ago, is the contrast between how they sound on a personal electronic device or hi fi stereo & how they sound in a large entertainment venue with a professional sound system. They sounded about 3000x as good in the large venue. This is truly a band that MUST be experienced live to be truly appreciated.
Oh wow!! Am 68 yrs old.. retired ..Army veteran…when young…couldn’t..afford it still can’t afford to go see him in concert .. though it is all good love him and his music…keeps me strong…
Yeah I was 9 in 1975 but I had older family that would take me cruising in my Cousins 68 GTO jamming to ELO and BTO in Bill Stevens GTO start of a cool song in Springfield Ohio!
Jeff Lynne sounds as good as he did in the 70's, that was an era when music had a value and the words described life as it was and how it should be what a shame that value is lost today.
From 1972 to 1986 Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra has had more top 40 hits than any other groups in the world. 50 years later they still play in sold out Arenas and Stadiums. I saw them in Toronto July 18 2019 ( 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. The Legends in the Music Industry call Jeff Lynne the best overall Musician ever and a Producer Extraordinaire. And don't forget, he was in the Super Group of all the Groups the Traveling Wilburys with George Harrison, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison and Bob Dylan... Long live Jeff Lynne’s ELO!

And influenced so many rock musicians like Tom Petty and George Harrison for instance.
Seen every concert
Listening to ELO really makes me miss the 70' and 80's. I wanna go back in time to this era.
Me too I'm packed and ready to go
reminds me of the 1970's station wagon my folks had (like in 70's show) traveling across the United States with the family... seeing America family vacation style.. ELO, Wings, and Jackson Browne on the AM dial... throughout the AM airwaves state to state.
Take me! I Wanna go 2!
Casey casum Wolfman jack and Dr Demento under the smog berry trees!
Saw them live in late 80s. Growing up in 70s… what a great era for music and just living in that era… no other time in my life topped back then.
my man takes me back to a place i miss
Me too
I'm rollin and ridin and slippin and slidin in 2025. Still alive, after all these years. It's been a fun ride.
I have always associated "Strange Magic" with the feeling I had after seeing my future wife for the for the first time...
Cheesy but I like it

it is totally a love song 😍 a beautiful one at that
I've been a fan of ELO for more than 50 years. Jeff Lynne was way ahead of his time.
He still is!
I'm trying to do the math. I'm 67, I'm very close to 50 years if I'm not there already. I used to play air violin in my barracks room when nobody was watching.
I joined the Army when I was 17. Anyway, close enough! It's magic.

Jeff Lynne is a GENIUS. NO ONE ever created arrangements blending Rock and Classical like he did.
*Does, he's still making music and going on tours.
I first heard ELO in the 70's - Classic rock all the way, lifetime fan forever
Not to take away anything from ELO, but don't forget the Moody Blues, who were first in 1967 with "Days of Future Past."
That’s why he is a Wilbury. All star! Only him and Bob left.😢
Bob Purnell Alice Cooper"
Right ELO should rightfully be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. More talent in The little finger of Jeff Lynn than a lot of one hit wonders inducted.
It's amazing how he can still sing these songs live after all these years. Seriously talented man!
yeah he's still got the pipes.
Always and forever!
In 2023 too
Amazing and still my all time favourite group with the magic and presentation in each of their shows!
It’s absolutely true. Saw them couple years ago. Terrific!
You can keep your McCartney's, Lennon's, Jagger's and all the other so called stars. Jeff and ELO kept me going through my hospitalised youth.

Me too, and it always brings me back to those beautiful times 🥰
Me too, Robert! Still AWESOME, after all these years!! 💕
45 years ago ?
Me too!!
Bad to the Bone back then and now I love it 😍
Jeff Lynne is one of the most underrated musicians of our time.
Totally agree!
Oh no he is not, he is recognised world over, playing multi instruments and adored by the one and only Macca
I was a teenager in the 70's. Even then I knew this guy was a great musician.
At least he's in the RnR HoF. I'd say America is the most underrated group of all time.
It's the moron with the "so underrated" comment. They never fail to disappoint. 🙄
Even live... ELO is just like the Radio version I fell in love with as an 17 year old. Long live ELO..😃
Living Thing got me hooked on ELO
Flawless ,, that's all I can say ...
Me too. I was 17
Jeff Lynne totally underrated! ELO so swweeet🎉 let's not forget the traveling wilburys❤
Jeff Lynne has got to be the coolest man to ever walk the earth.😎
That's what I'm saying! Just attended his show in Sept 2024. Yep, still cool.

I was born in the 80s, but miss the 70s like I had lived through them.
I too miss the 70s, if there's a time machine Im on it. Im willing to repeat my 4 ys in the United States Marine Corps. Over and Over and Over........
WOW!... wow... WOW!
❤THANK YOU❤
An even stranger magic Jeff, is that you think this is merely a nice little tune. This is a masterpiece. The strangest magic, is your ability to write songs, that tear at the heartstrings and souls of mere mortals and with the voice of an angel. I love you.🐨💝🦘
Agree 100%. Have a listen to Nightwish live (symphonic metal with orchestral laters) with Floor Jansen as lead singer. She also has the voice of an angel and the best vocalist that I have ever heard male or female. 🙏👍😊
Facts!!
Well said!
What a great post!
I bet he doesn't ACT like a genius , probably makes everything seem like busy work.
Every time I listen to their music, brings me back to my golden years of 70s in Canada. So grateful to ELO 🙏🙏
4:59
We need this fantastic music more than ever. Stay healthy Jeff and Tour in 2022.
I stopped listening to the music on the radio after the 90’s and that was pushing it. I understand every decade has its pros and cons, but since 2000 FORGET IT. I’m 59 btw and live in a big city and not a prude.
Oh Yes Please !!!!!!
and come to Australia.
Texas would love that concert!
We certainly do.
It's the strings that always get me.
Wow!!!! Unbelievable!! It's like it's 1975 again!!!! Jeff Lynne looks like he's straight out a time machine from 1975!!!!
Time passages.
Wish
@@flemingcourt wish. Hope. Peace
Peaceful
God. Will
Holy Moly!
This is from 12 years ago and Mr Lynne is nailing it.
Saw them live back in the day.
He nailed then too!
Ah this performance was 22 years ago, but however, the guy is phenomenal!
May of 2001
Watch the Wembley special from 17/18. Spectacular 😉
I could listen to Jeff Lynne's ELO everyday for the rest of my life. It's that perfect!
I pretty much do!!
Tim, you nailed it.
@@petesoucy6581 Thank you Pete!
I do listen every day😁
SO true!
One of the most underrated bands ever.
❤la cantante que le hace coria a Jeff❤
Como se llama?
If ever a person deserved a knighthood it's this man. love him.
I could swear I was listening to the record. Perfect.
Yes sounds just like a record. ELOs greatest hit. The 70s were great.
Jeff Lynne is known to be somewhat of a perfectionist who aims to deliver stage performances that are as good as the original studio recordings. Without a doubt, Jeff is a master producer, song writer and arranger.
It's rare for a live performance to be as good as the original recording. This is awesome!
I actually like this more than the record.
Steven Carinci Ain't that the truth. Jeff Lynne in HD live! lol. I still have the vinyl!
Sounds like a studio recording, unbelievable.
That's not so good news. Excellent live concerts are better than studio outputs, think Supertramp, Genesis etc. So maybe that's a bit the problem with this concert: although its sounding very nice, it doesn't take any risks, adds no new solo's, the spaceship never encounters a clear air turbulence and everyone on stage looks so ridiculously handsome. In the end, it all starts to look and sound a bit too much sanitized, like a too well kept lawn, and misses some spontaneity. Perfection has a boring edge in the end.
@@Retroscoop I saw them when this album came out in Oakland Coliseum Arena and on a scale of 1 -10 the volume was set at 591. We wadded up napkins and plugged our ears and then we could recognize what song they were performing. It was really loud, even though I like loud music, it was beyond that of jet fighter at take off. We loved the show once we adjusted the volume.
They sound better live, great effort given.
Albatros Because back in day actual artists could sing their own songs! Yes kids we had Live Music even in College traditional Battle of new Bands! You kids had bland College years!
... with actual REAL instruments... strings and all! Incredible!
Flying through a sun in a broken stone age dome ?????! What is this bringing back to the days of my life
Does anyone else feel like Jeff Lynne owns a time machine?
I Would Like to See The Blueprints for That Time Machine
I certainly think there's a portrait in his attic !
He shares it with Ringo.....
"...can never die. There's more to it than meets the eye." I always thought ELO was too commercial. I have a tendency not listen to what the radio plays... anyway, I watched Jeff's involvement with the other bands and I always had this idea that Jeff was more than the leader of a band. As it turns out, he's probably a Catastrophist, which is cool, because I can prove the science to you, but that Jeff knows is my fun way of dealing with the knowledge. Can't prove it, but I could make you wonder. lol Anyway, I've been listen to ELO now... a lot.
Well put...
Driving my 68 charger to Lake Superior in 1979 listening to elo. Yep, good times.
yes. I'm loving my Mexican wife but she is legal. I may be dead.
Drove Firebirds....
Paul McCartney (edit) once said that had the Beatles stayed together, this (ELO) is what they would have evolved into. The ultimate compliment.
Funny you should mention that quote from John Lennon. Upon returning to the U. S. in late 1974 from an 8-month Med. Cruise on the USS Blakely DE1072, e had been isolated from top-40 radio for quite sometime. When we approached the East coast of the U.S. and came into reach of Hit Radio stations, someone out on deck had a radio turned up and we heard this song "Can't Get it Out of My Head". All of us thought it was a new song by Lennon (maybe even a new Beatles Reunion Song). Not to mention the 3 surviving Beatles hired Jeff to produce their 1995 single releases of one of John's long lost songs........Sorry about the long rant.
@Rocky Sullivan, it was actually Paul that said that.
@@mikeymillions1486 Thanks Mike, I stand corrected. Fixing it.
@@mikeymillions1486 Are you sure? All the sources I can find say it was Lennon.
@@schubertuk I'm sure. Google away my friend.
Still sounds good all these years later. I listened to ELO on holiday this year and couldn't stop my feet tapping. Thanks Jeff for keeping this alive.
Still listening in 2024.. Living in Twilight, but not the groovy vampire movie with all those handsome kelpie or cryptic creatures. It hasn't dated at all! Love it ❤
Only ELO will make you feel the music while listening to it.
Jeff Lynne is a 🐐. His writing and creativity is like no other. You will never hear lyrics like this in this time. I saw him live in VA I did not want to leave. ELO is got to be in the top 5 of British groups of all time.
The top 2
my dad loved this band. I lost him a few months ago. I hope he can still hear this...
I'm very sorry for your loss
He's right there beside you.... Trust me
Jeffs vocals are still so very magical.
Nothing better than sitting back and getting higher and higher listening ELO 👍
✌️
Jeff, the best of the best. And the lady next to him, well, STUNNING and then some.
@johnnydelbravo Thank's Johnny for sharing. No, I had no idea who she was. I will research more her Zazu album later. Pete.
Rosie is a doll baby
You looking soucy!!!!!!
ELO is the greatest band in decades
Jeff is undoubtedly the most UNDER-RATED musicians of all time. His voice, his lyrics, putting The Wilburys together in 3 days..he is beyond awesome. Thank you Jeff, just hearing your voice is so soothing. So humble, so freaking talented..Amazing man.
The Traveling Wilburys was George Harrison’s baby. Jeff was with him when they began recruiting their brothers
@@TC-dw6wg They, Jeff, George and Bob where driving around Mulholland and Tom Petty drove past...Bob had a studio set up, he and Tom were close and then George's in with Roy pulled it together. Three days and the were at it 24/7. Egos checked at the door. It is amazing to listen to Tweeter and The Monkey Man, knowing the song and all the others came together that quickly.
Who's underating him? He's a world famous musical genuis,, inducted into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE), Songwriters Hall of Fame, just to name a few!
Key Largo -- Who Said Jeff Lynne was EVER Under-Rated????? You were not even there when ELO came out... Quit saying dumb stuff like this...
amazing, indeed! singing the late roy orbison's part in "handle with care" at the tribute to george concert.....⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ladies and Gentlemen "We are in the Presence of Greatness"🇺🇸✌🇬🇧
@USMC ... USN Corpsman here. Agree with you 100%.
Yes , We are.
@@davidwalker8481 thank you "Doc" I always appreciated our Corpsman. Did you ever serve in the Fleet Marine Force, if so where?
@@joaquimmarioferreirasoares8694 Im a very big Jeff Lynne and ELO fan. ✌from 🇺🇸 to 🇬🇧
@USMC 73-77 , Yes, I was in Kuwait 90-92 for Desert Storm as a US Navy Corpsman with the USMC FMF, 1st Division, 1st Battalion out of Camp Pendleton, California.
My original USN Duty Stations were the US Naval Hospital-Balboa, San Diego, CA and SUBTRAFAC at Point Loma, CA.
Amazing. Rosie is far sexier than JLO, Beyonce or any of today's "stars." Gorgeous!
Yes she owns the "IT" factor~!!
I'am with on that about Rosie.She is just a beautiful lady.No need to show a bunch like today...Love you Rosie.
First concert ever 1976! I am 60 now
I agree 100% Stephen.. She is just beautiful!!!.
Because it's "effortless," she doesn't have to act like a 'ho to be sexy, it just comes naturally.
So underrated! He's not just up with the greats..he is one
Yes, we are in the Presence of Greatness
Not underrated
Jim Harrison --- Who said he is "so underrated"???? You???? You were not even born when ELO came out, so you really know Nothing...
@@frandanco6289 Sorry Fran you seem so offended that I think he should get more recognition. It's just an appreciation of the man's music and talent that's all! Oh and by the way I was in high school when ELO originally formed, but thanks for taking some years off my age!
He is not underrated! There’s always gonna be somebody like you on every damn video who has to 2:13 squawk out nonsense… There is nobody that matters who doesn’t know how great this man is… He is not under rated at all… He is worshiped
Just how the hell do you nail a decades old song so well, it's barely distinguishable from the original???
(especially Strange Magic)
True musical genius.
You, too, have that precision as well as accuracy required for musicians to reproduce their songs; otherwise you would not be able to compare the old (from memory) to the new (from hearing in real time.
They got that strange magic. 😊
Talent, Jeff Lynne has serious Talent! That WAS as perfect as the recorded version!! ❤
It's amazing how Jeff Lynne has kept his wonderful voice...He will be 72 in a few months and i can't wait to see him in concert once more this Summer of 2019 in the USA and Canada. Long live Jeff Lynne's ELO!!!!
I was going to see him July 9th at the BTT center in Ft Lauderdale, but we are going on a cruise to Alaska, so I will miss him,,, very disappointed....was looking forward to taking my son.....
Seeing him June 20 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. Can’t Wait !!!!
@@dannyhemphill7618 You will enjoy it very much!
My husband and I saw ELO in June 22. AWESOME! A wonderful show. They sound just like this!💗💗💗
I recently went and they were awesome as usual.
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONG OF 70s.THANK YOU ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA.
ELO is absolute perfection!!!! ❤
Absolutely! They’ve been favorites forever.
Wow man, after all these years Mr. Lynne's voice is still as Smooth as Silk..
...and his hair's still pubey as ever, lol. The man's so underrated.
Classy Clay, classy..
anofi berry yes it is. Beatiful voice. I want to go back to 1976, Sergeant in the Marine Corps. Miss those days, no worries, just take care of self and my Marines in my squad.
Very Cool M.G.P.B. GOD Bless you and Thank You for your SERVICE !
anofi berry your welcome. I'd do it again. My whole family was US Army, from World War Two, The Korean War, Vietnam War, Desert Storm, the War on Terrorism. I have cousins who were in the Army and younger cousins, nephews all in the Army. Im the only Marine on both sides of my family. When we have family reunions they give me down the road. I tell them Im a Marine at 62 yrs old and I can take it. So proud to have served our country. Semper Fi.
...I WAS A TEEN AGER BACK THEN😍 .....I'M 65 NOW !!
You know it's real talent when a band sounds the same live as they do in the studio.
That means no electronic doodads to mask their ability (or lack thereof!)
But to sound the same 40 years later? Now that is nothing short of spectacular!
I saw the Little River Band at a club in Lynchburg, VA over 10 yrs ago and they sounded EXACTLY like their CD's! I was blown away!
Now that's a jam reminds Me of.my ex-brother In-law johnny chingas RIP
Quantum Consciousness Journey in the Steve Perry days were the same. You couldn't tell the diff between live or vinyl!
Did this particular version of ELO re-record all the original ELO songs for a CD? If not then they do not sound the same live as they do in the studio ( If they did that is different). I like the ELO from the early 70's and on the group we all know and love. (Jeff, Richard, Kelly, Mik, Bev, Hugh and Melvyn). This version of ELO does not even have a violin. Yes Jeff and Richard are great but they do sound different it's not terrible but not as good to me.
I'm going to see him 8/22 at MSG! Ohhhhhhhhh I can't wait!!!
Still listening in 2024.........
In Nashville, I'm going to see ELO.
Love elo rip Jeff lynne love ur music 4ever! So sorry to hear of ur passing..sing ur heart out in heaven! Love you an u r missed an never b forgotten ❤❤❤❤❤❤
1:50 he is touring@@barbarah.3056
@@barbarah.3056. What a horrible thing to write.
Right now.
There’s no accounting for dipsticks & negative Nellie’s…………this guy could melt butter with this rendition of Strange Magic…..it’s like liquid music! I can’t drink enough of it 💙💙💙💙💙
I agree 100%. I'm big ELO fan. I first heard this around March 1976. I was a United States Marine stationed at Camp LeJeune. I was in love with a local girl in Jacksonville, North Carolina. Semper Fi from an old Marine Sergeant
Strange Magic is positively one of the best songs in ELO's vast catalogue. Simply incredible with that melancholy guitar intro. Gives me goosebumps each time.
Agree with you.
100%
I get strange pain in my insides when listening to ELO. You can’t buy that feeling. It only comes with true beauty. Thank you ELO, Jeff Lynne ♥️💕
Exactly,..."strange pain in my insides"...nicely put...I felt the same way as a kid [and now] whenever I listened [or listen] to Jeff Lynne. All his songs...but the song that always floored me the most was Last Train To London.
Electric Light Orchestra is a fantastic band. What astounded me most when I saw Jeff Lynne’s ELO live in concert a couple of years ago, is the contrast between how they sound on a personal electronic device or hi fi stereo & how they sound in a large entertainment venue with a professional sound system. They sounded about 3000x as good in the large venue. This is truly a band that MUST be experienced live to be truly appreciated.
I saw them live in Melbourne in 77. Its was insane. The same year I saw Fleetwood Mac on the Rumours tour
@@zapkvr I envy you!
@@eldajackson1 DITTO!
I'll be seeing them in about a week and a half at Mohegan Sun
I saw them too....twice. How true!
6:24 I LOVE THIS MAN AND BAND ONE OF THE BEST!! SUCH A MAGNIFICENT VOICE!!!!
I have always found Jeff Lynne (ELO) to be the very best musically in concerts.

Oh wow!! Am 68 yrs old.. retired ..Army veteran…when young…couldn’t..afford it still can’t afford to go see him in concert .. though it is all good love him and his music…keeps me strong…
Love you ELO! Every song, speaks to me in way only an artist understands.
so with you
We're all artists, I'm some capacity.
I am SO with you Alabama Jenny.
no words just musical brilliance
Damn Skippy
I get weepy and fundamentally wistful for those days...what a gift
Yeah I was 9 in 1975 but I had older family that would take me cruising in my Cousins 68 GTO jamming to ELO and BTO in Bill Stevens GTO start of a cool song in Springfield Ohio!
Same!
Jeff Lynne had such an awesome dancer in his videos here
Jeff Lynne sounds as good as he did in the 70's, that was an era when music had a value and the words described life as it was and how it should be what a shame that value is lost today.
Amen
Thanks
UuuiThanks.
Yes,you are 100% right!
The 70’s were magic....
This is a great way to escape the Coronavirus.
Rock it's a strange way escapi'n Covid-19
Rock, Rock on bro.
Indeed!
No doubt!!!
Yes it is. Love to return to the 70s no COVID19 and Mom & Dad were still living
Jeff Lynne You are magic...One of the Sweetest musicians ever...Love you buddy
Rick Sanchez wubba lubba dub dub!!!
Soundtrack of my life
Jeff Lynne has to be the only guy on the planet who can pull off that frizzy permanent and not look silly ridiculous. What a GREAT voice !
Not a perm
And don't forget Brian May!
Ian Hunter can. Another Brit who writes great songs.
He doesn't have a perm--it's his hair.
It looks real silly but still... what a GREAT voice etcetera !
Well folks, take 5 seconds and gaze you eyes on what's known as a true artist. To me this is pure perfection..
Yes, when I need to relax and reflect after a long week at school; ELO is great tunes,
da959 Rosie is so beautiful
Yes it' s Magic!hard to believe that it 's almost twenty years later @@
Totally agree 100%
@@larrynapier5003 Knew someone would do it :)
Absolutely should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
No way they sound thee exact same as 1975!!! Now that’s some STRANGE MAGIC!! Lol. 🎶♥️🎶✍️
From 1972 to 1986 Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra has had more top 40 hits than any other groups in the world. 50 years later they still play in sold out Arenas and Stadiums. I saw them in Toronto July 18 2019 ( 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. The Legends in the Music Industry call Jeff Lynne the best overall Musician ever and a Producer Extraordinaire. And don't forget, he was in the Super Group of all the Groups the Traveling Wilburys with George Harrison, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison and Bob Dylan... Long live Jeff Lynne’s ELO!
Wasn't surprised to find out he wrote Xanadu; I love the energy of Juliana Hatfield's cover!
Fantastic music and Rosie Vela is maybe the sexiest back-up vocalist alive!
There was strange magic in the music back then.. Oh how I miss it . That is why I am here.....
Definitely STRANGE MAGIC as opposed to this strange EVIL quarantine. rgds sdp from BS AS ARG.
