This is more of a facsimile than it is a cover song! If you close your eyes, this really could be Electric Light Orchestra playing. Absolutely splendid job and I love the dog!
This truly fantastic homage to such a haunting song by the genius that is Jeff Lynne is a tribute not only to the talent of all the members of the original ELO, but also showcases the outstanding talent of ELO fans… BRAVO…!!!!!!🎸🎻💡
What a beautiful cover of one of the most underrated recordings of all time. Shangri-La is a complete masterpiece with the greatest outro in modern recorded music ever. Thanks everyone for the effort! Viele Grüße aus Deutschland.
ELO fan my whole life of 54 years and have felt so lonely bc it's rare to find anyone I speak to who knows anything about them. Their influence on me musically and on my life is so profound. Thank you guys for covering this brilliant gem so beautifully ! ELO has never been properly recognized for their genius.
@@StefanOlofsson See my reaction on stuart sharman. Versus : 'My Shangrila' Original version elo best song ever. The apotheose at the end is genius. I can also recommend the extended version : ruclips.net/video/f1E_Ri6aBRI/видео.html
This song is one of Jeff Lynn's masterpieces, and you did it justice. Very well done! You did the outtro -- the most important part of the song -- perfectly. Deep respect to you.
ELO fan for 45 years now and Shangri La is my favourite ELO track everrrr! This was truly a brilliant version of it. I just closed my eyes and it was Jeff, Bev, Mik, Kelly and Richard singing to me for just a few precious minutes. Well done to you guys. LOVED THIS VERSION 💜
Holy moly, this is absolutely insanely accurate. Even down to the Mack drum sound!! And the tightness of those harmonies, woah. Seriously and spinechillingly incredible!
Thank you very much for noticing the details, Tom!! :) It was a lot of work and it's still an ongoing process to get the fine details down. One insight from this experience is how incredible difficult this must have been to pull off in 1976.
I could not have said it better myself. It captures the immense magic of the original... and by doing so it proves that you guys properly get it and 'knew the assignment'. 👍
Massive props to everyone involved in this recording. Everyone's parts are spot on; I'm especially impressed by the huge wall of sound harmonies! Lovely rendition.
In my youth, I played every ELO album till I wore the grooves off the vinyl! A New World Record was my favourite. This cover is absolutely superb, I don't think you could get it any closer. Fantastic job all of you.
How'd I overlook this video? This is an incredible cover.:) Bravo to all of you, including Won-Hee Lee's biggest fan behind her on the couch. World class music from all of you! Jeff and the band would be so impressed:)
Wow! Absolutely beautiful! I have always adored this song. You guys are seriously talented and captured the studio tightness that Jeff Lynne achieves. Thank you for this!!!
What an amazing version of a very under rated ELO song. I hope you don't mind that I linked this to a ELO Facebook page so others can share the experience. To me, Shangri-la being played live by ELO was like finding the holy grail of ELO fandom, it's just not out there on the web. Even ELO Part 2 didn't play it. You ladies and gentlemen did one hell of a job, and did complete and total justice to one of Jeff Lynne's better works. Take a bow, you earned it! Old school ELO fan since the mid 1970's.
Thank you very much, sir! I completely agree that Shangri-La is underrated. In truth, there are a number of underrated ELO tracks that deserve more exposure. Being fans, we do what we can to bring this music a drop of extra publicity. Thank you very much for sharing and keep the flame.
I thought I was an ELO fan until I came across this hauntingly beautiful track of theirs for the first time recently (ELO's)❤❤❤❤ (And fairplay to THIS cover band, for delivering a seemingly pitch-perfect rendition of it👍👍❤❤.....)
I fell in love with ELO back in the 70's when I was in the school, and never stopped listening to them. I am impressed by the quality of this video. This is really really good.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ... pero que gran cover!!!!!!!!!!! Increíble lo bien que suenan....me alegraron el día estos artistas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Felicitadisimos desde argentina!!!!!
Brought tears to me eyes. Saw them in concert in 1987 at Western Springs Stadium, Auckland, New Zealand. My All Time Favourite Band. Geoff Lynne is a musical Genius.
Now and again I go searching around you tube for ELO covers, there are some very good ones out there and this is among the best! thanks for your awesome performance.
What wonderful cover! Thank 🙏you. Tack🙏so mycket. Insanely well done by you here in Corona time. Has anyone actually pointed out these covers to Jeff? En hjärtlig Servus från 🤍💙Bayern till 💙💛Sverige
OMG....You guys are Great! I have Every ELO Lp since the 70's. This is one of many best ones! Thank You all!!! Keep up the great work!! To the beautiful lady with the violin....you need to have your dog play a tambourine!
Моє знайомство з ELO розпочалося якраз з A New World Record, яке переросло у постійне захоплення цією групою та всім, що пов'язане з нею. My acquaintance with ELO started right with A New World Record, which turned into a constant admiration for this group and everything related to it
5 star recording, i have followed elo from day one ,and was expecting an average recording and was left speechless as to how you nailed it right from the very beginning.
Шикарный кавер! Супер! 👍👍👍Поверить не могу, что можно так классно сыграть! Если бы не видел картинку, то был бы уверен, что это сам Джефф Линн поёт. Браво! Стоя аплодирую! 👏👏👏 E.L.O forever! 🤘 Всем мира и хорошей музыки! 🤝🤝🤝
Wow. What a rendition. This sounds like Jeff Lynne did all the instruments himself, but they sound much cleaner and not as overloaded as in the original. I wonder if anyone ever booked you producing an original song in that quality? I would. This is fantastic.

Agree 100%. Thank you, Michael. :)
Gave me chills
Love how the bsss is pushed upfront in the outro

Hello Werner and thank you very much for the great comment. Indeed, Shangri-La is a modern masterpiece from one of the best groups ever.

Thank you very much, Rick!! So happy to hear that. :)
Just as Jeff is actually playing and singing all by himself on albums, you guys have reintroduced the soul.....keep right on!

Thank you very much for the feedback!!
The drummer air drumming the entire video is hilarious!
You're welcome!
You guys are awesome. Your melodic harmonies are spot on- so beautiful!

Wow, just wow. Bravo from the USA. Perfect cover. There are so many unknown ELO songs like this that were never played but are classics.
Thank you very much!! Yes, I agree, so many great ELO tunes.
Great job on the most beautiful song from one of the most amazing albums ever made.
Thank you very much, Bob!
Excellent. Interesting song selection.
Thanks for listening, Peter!
Great cover of a criminally underrated song
Thank you, Robert! Yes, agree, very underrated tune by ELO.
Criminally is a very appropriate word for this one.
Massive props to everyone involved in this recording. Everyone's parts are spot on; I'm especially impressed by the huge wall of sound harmonies! Lovely rendition.
Thank you very, very much Jon!! It was a "masterclass" for us. Just goes to show how much went into the original tunes.

@@StefanOlofsson I made 2 errors in that posting. I spelt Jeffs' name wrong and the concert was actually in 1978. Doh!!
You sound so much like ELO have you done any more covers of ELO songs great cover you have done .
Thank you very much, Jim! Yes, there are a couple of more covers on RUclips - "Danger Ahead" and "Take Me On".
