The lead singer Jeff Lynne, was the mastermind behind the band ELO. He produced The Beatles on their new songs for their anthology albums. He produced The Traveling Wilburys, a group he wrote songs for, sang and played on. He produced, sang, played instruments and wrote songs for many performers on their solo projects such as Tom Petty, Roy Oberson, Olivia Newton John, George Harrison, Joe Walsh, Paul McCartney, Brian Wilson, Ringo Starr etc.
Jeff Lynne the singer and writer of all their songs is the only original member. The band is composed entirely of session musicians----that's why they are so good!
The concert was performed in front of a sellout crowd of 60,000 on 24 June 2017. Wembley is a gigantic stadium, its top capacity is 90,000 but of course for a concert they’re not using the seats in the stadium that would be behind the band. My husband and I saw them live in the Tacoma Dome in 2019, that was a sell out too, and a totally amazing experience. I recommend reviewing some other performances from this concert, Evil Woman, Turn to Stone and Telephone Line.
ELO was formed in the 70's-80's & mixed modern rock pop songs with classical overtones. Jeff Lynne wrote most of their songs. They had a lot of great hits such as "Showdown", "Can't Get It Out Of My Head", "Evil Woman", "Strange Magic", "Livin' Thing", "Telephone Line", "Rockaria!", "Do Ya", "Turn to Stone", "Sweet Talkin' Woman", "Mr. Blue Sky", "Wild West Hero", "Don't Bring Me Down", "Roll Over Beethoven", "Shine A Little Love", "Last Train To London", "Confusion", "Hold On Tight" etc.
This is really fun info! I knew they were from a while back, but I did NOT know how many of the songs they were actually responsible for! Out of the list you posted, I know "Evil Woman," "Telephone Line," "Turn to Stone," Sweet Talkin' Woman," Mr. Blue Sky, "Don't Bring Me Down, "Roll Over Beethoven," Shine a Little Love," "Last Train to London," and "Hold On Tight!" Thanks for that info! 😀 Also...I didn't know they had ANYTHING out that was fairly NEW! Wow!
@@davemadman7093 He still is! Back on tour for the last time later this summer in North America "The Over And Out Tour". Hopefully more dates will happen in Europe and the UK eventually.
Jeff Lynne (who comes from my home City of Birmingham, UK) was a musical genius and producer. He was 70 here and continued to perform concerts until shut down by the pandemic. E.L.O. had loads of fantastic songs and sounded just as good live as they did on the studio versions. My favourite is 'All Over The World' and there are loads of videos of this song with dancers on YT.
Just caught your reaction! ELO has been around since I was a kid (I'm 59) and this song hit the charts when I was about 11 years old - been playing in my head ever since! ELO has many, many hits and you most likely will recognize a bunch. The band he's playing with uses all new members hired for the tours - he did have his original keyboard player, Richard Tandy, with him in 2016, and you can find youtube videos of those songs with Richard playing (he's great at using the vocoder - check some of those songs out). The album this song was from was A New World Record and had other great songs on it (and one of the best outro's in an album ever in my opinion). My favorite album was Out of the Blue in 1978 but ELO made music right up through 1986 and I appreciate the later albums now more than I did back in the day. Enjoy the journey!
Great reaction to an artist i have been lucky enough to have listened to for the past 47 years thank you as a drummer listen to dont bring me down take care ❤❤❤
Just the wonderful roar of that audience...WOW!!! The whole thing is fabulous, but the roar sent shivers all the way through me! Thank you very much for doing this reaction. WONDERFUL!!!
A potted history of ELOs line-up. ELO is the Jeff Lynne show! I reckon there are six distinct versions of the band. The first one formed in 1971/72 had about ten people (See Granada TV footage on You Tube)and also had Roy Wood on board as co-leader and song writer. Roy cleared off to form his own band, taking some of the ELO guys with him(Wizard) and Jeff Lynne re-organised the line-up into a even piece outfit. When the US sales picked up and they spent more time touring in North America the line up shifted around. One of the young cello players returned from Wizard and the third version of ELO formed, the classic ELO line up that ran from 1975 through to1980. Although there were seven official members there were often other musicians or backing singers either on or off stage. As the recordings got more epic the live show also began to get more dependant on backing tape for sound effects and to provide a background sound for the live show. The string players were got rid of as official band members at the end of 1979, though none of them played on the 1979 Discovery album (they do appear in the video shoots looking very glum faced!).There was a touring hiatus and the fourth incarnation embarked on a global tour after the release of the brilliant 1981 Time album, the most pop-tastic ELO album. The cellos were replaced by orchestral keyboards, played by the long-time album strings arranger Louis Clarke and violinist Mik Kaminski was re-hired for the tour. This band re-formed in 1986 for a brief tour of North America and Europe in support of the Balance of Power album, the last of the albums that Jeff Lynne (and drummer Bev Bevan) was contracted to make for Jet Records. Bev negotiated a two album deal with Virgin Records but Jeff wanted nothing to do with ELO at that time.... Bev Bevan formed a band without Jeff that was named ELO (part2). They made the two mediocre albums without Jeff Lynne, although they toured the world extensively and were a great live band. The use of the "ELOpart2" name was agreed by Jeff Lynne, but the recording of the two albums was not and this situation created a lot of bad blood between Jeff and Bev that still persists to this day. It also created a lot of fan confusion as to what they were watching and hearing. In 2001 after a fifteen year hiatus Jeff Lynne re-launched ELO with a new album of his songs called Zoom. There was a US tour booked and a new band was formed with some of the best LA session musicians and the old ELO keyboard player Richard Tandy. Richard Tandy had not had anything to do with the ELOpart2 project. The Zoom album didn't sell well, despite it containing some great new ELO songs and the tour sold even less well and got cancelled. There were a couple of TV specials that are on YT. The fifth incarnation of ELO was kind of still-born. 2013 Jeff Lynne performed two ELO songs at a charity show in London. It went so well the BBC asked him to do a full ELO show at their Hyde ParK concert the next September. Jeff agreed to do this if he could have the same band...and the sixth incarnation of ELO was born. Richard Tandy also played in this band. So Jeff and Richard are the only two guys to play in all iterations of ELO. In the shows from 2017 onwards Richard Tandy was in poor health and unable to appear on stage, though he did play on one track (the fast piano part on One More Time) of the 2019 From out Of Nowhere album. The over And Out Tour will be Jeff Lynne's last so there will not be a seventh ELO line-up. I hope the tour can run a year or two and that there is an amnesty so that some of the other surviving members of ELO get to perform with Jeff at least one more time, to coin a phrase. There are many excellent tribute bands performing Jeff's music, some of them do more obscure songs that Jeff will probably never do live.
ELO rules! Check out their 1975 classic hit, *"Evil Woman",* it's awesome! They did perform it at this same concert, and it's great, but I prefer you react to the original studio album version first.
You want to buy the two cd disc set of the show along with the dvd. (Jeff Lynne'S Elo Wembley Or Bust) The two hour dvd is pure pleasure from beginning to end.
"A good chunk" = everything except a couple of covers, and a few songs on the first album that were written by Roy Wood - the other genius cofounder of ELO, who left after the first album. I believe Jeff must have written around 200 songs over the years, not to mention the songs he has written or/and produced for other artists. His first released song was the single _Imposters of Life's Magazine_ when he was in the Idle Race in 1967.
One thing about Jeff Lynne was he kept his concerts true to the studio versions of the songs. If you pull up a recording of this song from the seventies, you will see he sounds the same. This concert at Wembley Stadium was epic. Any if the songs they did were great. Evil Woman, Telephone Line, Don't Bring Me Down and Turn to Stone are my personal favorites. Check them out even if you don't do a reaction. ELO is just simply good music.
Pick ANY ELO track, you really can't go wrong, Jeff Lynne is the master, he's been at it since 1970 (when ELO were formed) and he was 70 in 2017, one of the best things ever to come out of Birmingham UK.
Actually, he formed his first group (the Andicaps) in 1963 when he was 16. So he has been a professional musician for 60+ years. Still going... I hope, although the latest tour announcement has me worried.

Jeff Lynne's ELO has announced their final tour. What you see there is Jeff + his new members + extra musicians. The original members of ELO apart from Jeff aren't there as they split in the 80s. Checkout the final tour in the USA, tickets now available as just announced.
You might not be an ABBA fan (I don't know), but I am. ABBA filled this stadium in 1979. Some of their live performances can be found on the official ABBA channel e.g. "Sumner Night City", "Dancing Queen" or "Whole In Your Soul" Wembley. They were on fire, and they weren't like what we saw in their somewhat cringe music videos from the early 70s, they rocked extended versions with their fulll band and backing vocalists.
The original of this tune was off their 6th album "A New World Record" The singer and genius songwriter, producer is Jeff Lynne. Once you start listening to Jeff's work you're hopelessly hooked. So have fun. I highly recommend their next album "Out Of The Blue" imho is the magnum opus.
Not very familiar with ELO. Well it’s time to get seriously familiar. They have a bunch of great songs. Although this is a stripped down version of the band that originally made all the great music. This concert highlights the big hits but should check out the studio versions. The sound is more complete because Jeff utilized the studio as an instrument in his production.
One of the biggest hit makers of the mid-1970s through early 1980s. They have songs that you’ve heard but never knew they performed. The leader, Jeff Lynne, is a musical genius who has a deep history in pop and rock.

From this same concert, Turn To Stone, Evil Woman, and Telephone Line are all excellent.
Thank you and Rest In Peace, Richard Tandy

I had Out of the blue on my turntable on autorepeat, damn near wore out the grooves. I'm the same age btw. Go GenX!
I have been a Jeff Lynne ELO fan for many, many years. I believe you will become a fan too. He is a true musical genius 👍👍
Absolutely, he’s phenomenal!
Brings back happy memories from the 70s. ❤🥂⭐️
Glad you enjoyed the video!
The beautiful lady with the violin is Rosie Langley, a beautiful rose on stage.
Thanks for the info! Such a great player!
Jeff Lynne looks the same as 30 years ago. He is not aging.
Haha 🤣 That’s crazy! Must be the talent that’s keeping him young!
Great reaction to an artist i have been lucky enough to have listened to for the past 47 years thank you as a drummer listen to dont bring me down take care ❤❤❤
Welcome to the world Of a Master Inovator. most bands now days use some of the things They pioneered. ELO rules.
EPIC! Loved this performance and can’t wait to hear more from them!

Kind of interesting to know that Jeff Lynne about 70 years old when he delivered this perfect, epic performance. Still blows my mind.
Wow! 70 years old and still bringing it! That is amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Jeff Lynn was 70 years old for this concert .
Wow, that’s incredible!
Great band and reaction
Thanks for watching! They are phenomenal and I can’t wait to hear more from them!
I've loved this band, it's unique sound and Jeff Lynne's voice since the mid 70s. Genius music. Thank you. 🙏😊👍❤
Definitely a unique sound, they are so good!
ELO are REALLY great.
💯 Such a killer band that I can’t wait to explore more from!
I am going to see Jeff Lynn's ELO Over and Out Tour in Portland on August 30th. Can't wait!
That sounds awesome, hope you have a great time!
Without Jeff Lynne and his remarkable music I doubt I would have made it through my teen years.
I definitely have to dig into more of his tunes! Such an incredible talent. Thanks for watching! 😁
