@@NeonCoffeeCat I think most people know that, but Jeff Lynne wrote and composed almost all of the ELO hits (apart from the early Roy Wood songs), he plays several instruments, is an extremely good guitarist and he produced, played and sang on albums not only for ELO, but also for Paul McCartney, Del Shannon, George Harrison, the Travelling Wilburn's and Tom Petty. You don't get to do that unless you're very talented. So yes, quite underrated.
My dear mother who passed away in August of 2018, was born in 1942. I was born in 1962. I was born 2 days before her 20th birthday, on 12-24! Now she is the one who introduced me to ELO! IT was this song!!!! She had it blaring on the stereo!! I about fell over! I had no idea that my Mom was darn cool. I was in junior high when she did this!!! This song, I dedicate to my mother! Some day, hopefully we will rock in heaven with Jesus together! Thanks for great music!!!! Bless you for posting!!! Made my night!!! I miss my mother so much, we would sing this song at the top of our voices!!! RIP MOM, happy Moms Day. Love Michelle
One of the greatest bands ever. Wish I was 17 & hearing this for the first time again. Gonna build a time machine & go back ! Who’s with me ? Ha ha. If only. 👍👍👍👍
showed this to my 10 yr old grandson and his face was a picture! He kept on about it so I bought him a guitar for Xmas. I told him " be a quarter as good and you will have made it" Time will tell
Jeff Lynne was a GENIUS who did things with classical instruments and progressive Rock NO ONE ELSE EVER did. Rosie Vela compliments his songs PERFECTLY!! Long LIVE JEFF LYNNE & ELO. I'm 64 and I listen to them still...every week.
Many have tried to sing Chuck Berry Classics. And Many have failed but this is one of the few that actually improves on the original version! Credit goes to Jeff Lynne! Roll Over Beethoven! Rocking in two by twos!
I listen to Jeff and ELO as it gets me out of bed and in a good mood as I have depression and anxiety badly and it’s hard to do. Thank you Jeff and ELO.
Please review Dr. Daniel Amen’s two books “The End of Mental Illness” & “Feel Better Fast & Make It Last “. These 2 books will give you tips and strategies to improve your situation! Best of luck to you!
You're not alone Debra. I've had depression in varying degrees all my life and had every "treatment" from "raw" ECT in a straightjacket to hypnosis. Music has and continues to help me more than ANYTHING. Keep listening Debra , you will "get there ". God bless you and good luck. Sending you all my love, from a fellow sufferer.❤.
Jeff definitely has one of the best voices in rock n roll.He's overlooked because people often don't appreciate the best until it's gone.That voice is unique and instantly recognised.He rocks!And that guitar playing is fab!
Probably the only cover version of a song that I ever thought was better than the original. Awesome Jeff, you were my idol in the 1970s. But all credit to Chuck Berry for an awesome tune and lyrics.
Where TF are you getting that? He's loved and LAUDED all over the world. You think that saying he's underrated makes you sound like a real music appreciator? No.
Another band that doesn't recieve the recognition it should! Mr. Jeff Lynne..genius with this rendition!! Watch, Listen & Learn young musicians of today!!
This has got to be the BEST live performance of "Roll Over Beethoven" - EVER. It's so damn tight and zappin' in the groove. Jeff's lead vocals and guitar riffs suck the breath out of me. Pardon, while I reach down on the floor and pick up my jaw !
He would no doubt be happy they're playing his stuff. BUT.... notice how tame the audience is. That's not how it was back in the day. Things were wild then.
Ohhhhhh so amazing, that's still music that rocks. Forget all these pop stars who only look and nothing else. It catapulted me back to the 80s. Thank you for sharing.
Wow. I loved this. Listened to it over and over. Brilliant. I see there are 77 people who gave it the thumbs down. WTF did they expect to hear FFS? Unbelievable.
This band is awesome the kids today don't like this music it not pop I hate pop and rap I like old country and old rock and roll thies guys know how to get with it great guitar
HELLS TEETH these guys realy know how to play ,takes me back to my childhood my big bro blasting hes latest vinyl up in hes room 💓😀 best days ever and one of THE BEST BANDS EVER 💓
Thanks steve and pam waugh as kid your music shaped my life at over 50 ...i still listen to your music you are still cool. ...wend8 high tech school. ...Isobel

i'm 76 years old and this version still sends chills up my back. AWESOME.
I remember hearing it the first time at a party in the early 70th.)
Nobody could hold his feets still and normally I hated it to dance. 🤣
You're never to old to rock and roll. Continue the go Jerry, rock on.

Keep rocking brother.
Keep listening my friend
I am 84 years old and never get enough of this living end music it's great
Me too. I'm 79y.o. Never enough. Awesome sound.
I'm 82 and a veteran r&r concert goer (Buddy Holly etc from the 1950's) and this version is the ultimate cover version,majestic.
Buddy was KING
many mised it
I didn't still my herowhodeied b4 I was born
You must have seen him at the Apollo.
good stuff i can do the opening on my guitar
Jeff Lynne - one of the most underrated composers/musicians ever. As good as Clapton or Mayall. True genius...
You know he didnt write this right?
@@NeonCoffeeCat I think most people know that, but Jeff Lynne wrote and composed almost all of the ELO hits (apart from the early Roy Wood songs), he plays several instruments, is an extremely good guitarist and he produced, played and sang on albums not only for ELO, but also for Paul McCartney, Del Shannon, George Harrison, the Travelling Wilburn's and Tom Petty. You don't get to do that unless you're very talented. So yes, quite underrated.
Yeah Rik mayall is fantastic
Clapton knows & loves him, no worries 🎶🎸💚
He's under rated only by those that know nothing about rock and roll!

god bless mum. THIS LADY HAD TASTE.X
I love your mother and I never met her.... sounds like a very cool lady! R.I.P.
Other than the otiginal by Chuck Berry this live performance by elo is definitely is 2nd best period. jp 6-22-2020.
I think we (the world) need more of people like your Mother
Bless you Michelle. Your mum had impeccable taste and so good that you have inherited from her 👍😊
One of the greatest bands ever. Wish I was 17 & hearing this for the first time again. Gonna build a time machine & go back ! Who’s with me ? Ha ha. If only. 👍👍👍👍
You must be my age you oldgit😂😂😂
Me
Me please! My first concert was ELO in 1976
Take me with you back to the time, when music had that damned hot soul
U tube closest thing to a time machine for us!
The absolute, most fantastic, rockin' version of this I have ever heard... "I LOVE IT"!!!!!!
Yeah Jeff tore it up.
Yeah, absolutely amazing 😁👍💃🏻💕💕
YOU BET
Still remember first time I heard this it was performed on TV, blew me away!
😀
showed this to my 10 yr old grandson and his face was a picture! He kept on about it so I bought him a guitar for Xmas. I told him " be a quarter as good and you will have made it"
Time will tell
Wish I could heart this
ANDREW HATHAWAY how is now after 3 years?
And?????

Credit goes to Jeff Lynne!
Roll Over Beethoven!
Rocking in two by twos!
Yes
I now right
They don't make 'em like that anymore. Utterly BRILLIANT
the man is a musical genius! all the songs he has written and the way he plays the guitar! truly amazing....one of the great ones of our time
Precise
@Buddy Austin this concert was in 2001
I listen to Jeff and ELO as it gets me out of bed and in a good mood as I have depression and anxiety badly and it’s hard to do. Thank you Jeff and ELO.
Keep fighting it Debra , keep your head up and don't give up yes music really helps.
Same here

Get well soon sister RESPECT!!!

ELO does the best version of this song I have heard.
Bless all that love E.LO.. fantastic
Quelle ambiance ça réveille avec Richard et jeff et tout ses musiciens quel régale
Jeff definitely has one of the best voices in rock n roll.He's overlooked because people often don't appreciate the best until it's gone.That voice is unique and instantly recognised.He rocks!And that guitar playing is fab!
Unbelievable old school guitar and piano. Jeff Lynne is soooo talented.
Cпасибо, Джеф! Воэратился в 70-тые, когда всё было чистым и искренним...
There is no sound on Earth like Jeff Lynne getting down with his guitar and this song.....pick a decade, any decade.....
Probably the only cover version of a song that I ever thought was better than the original. Awesome Jeff, you were my idol in the 1970s. But all credit to Chuck Berry for an awesome tune and lyrics.
Beatles did it all the time...made great songs Iconic
ZZ Top Viva Las Vegas... Even Elvis turned in his grave...
The best version of this song I have ever heard... excellent !!!!
The first was better ....
Jeff's vocals sound much more refined in this version.
Одне з самих найяскравiшiх виконань цьоi пiсенки!!!!! БРАВО!!!
Mr. Lynne is way too underrated- as a writer, a producer, and AS A GUITARIST! He shredded on this song!
drwinston TOTAL AGREEMENT.. THIS CATS HAD IT GOIN ON FOREVER !!! He's GREAT !!!
Where TF are you getting that? He's loved and LAUDED all over the world. You think that saying he's underrated makes you sound like a real music appreciator? No.
@@TheVeek192 easy there,Scooter,he was trying to play nice nice.... clonzepan time....
@@scottandrysik7924 LMAO!
Saw ELO perform this song at the Long Beach Arena sometime in the early 70s. One of the most exciting performances I’ve ever seen.
Best cover EVER! Captures the spirit of the original in style!
Молодцы ребята.!
Ребята, вы суперррр!!!
Doesn't get any better than this!!
ELO is Fantastic.
Jeff Lynne - musical genius.
your comment says it all
Hahaha .....
You’ll get no argument from me.
Джеф крутой перец!
AND PRETTY GOOD ON THE GUITAR !!!
I. Am. 66. Now. I. Saw. Them live. In. 1978. The. Best😊
Another band that doesn't recieve the recognition it should! Mr. Jeff Lynne..genius with this rendition!! Watch, Listen & Learn young musicians of today!!
This song was not fully realized until ELO did their incredible dynamic and exciting arrangement of it.
Outstanding, why. Voice, what an arrangement, what great musicians and the great smile on his back up singer just makes me happy. Never stop!
Que maravilla! Fabuloso! Una versión que quita el hipo! Mejor imposible! ❤❤
That Chuck Berry riff is one of the greatest pieces of rock music ever devised.
Absolutely perfect guitar work. Richard Tandy also sounds unbelievable on that piano.
Best ever performance of this song...and Jeff's tele rocks!
Evoco a los Beatles, con esta bella melodía. Años 60s. Love rock and roll.
Jeff and Richard Tandy sound like New Orleans musicians. Great sounds. Great performance.
This has got to be the BEST live performance of "Roll Over Beethoven" - EVER. It's so damn tight and zappin' in the groove. Jeff's lead vocals and guitar riffs suck the breath out of me. Pardon, while I reach down on the floor and pick up my jaw !
one of the great rockbands of all time just brilliant.
WOW, Great guitarist, the best of the 70/80s
Jeff Lynn this cat does not play a bad note
Whether it's Chuck, The Beatles, or ELO this song is so great it sounds magnificent no matter how it's played...
Love Chuck Berry's version...love this more though.
spartacusvikinga c
Mr. Lynne can play lead guitar. His detractors are idiots.
Nothing beats the original.
chuck would be proud!
He would no doubt be happy they're playing his stuff. BUT.... notice how tame the audience is. That's not how it was back in the day. Things were wild then.
Omg takes me back to the good old days listening to my big bro blasting out his latest vinyl this is one of my all time favorite,s what a band!
I loved most of ELO's songs , they were huge, and comprised of very gifted musicians...
Fist thing I heard when the clock/radio came on this morning. Great way to start the day !
Chuck Berry is Honored !@! By one of the greatest...Mr. Jeff Lyne
Ok super.....
I heard 'I got You, Babe'. Same thing yesterday. too. : )
Damn this rocks. 🤟💪😎Best version ever. 🤯🎯Go ELO
The greatest guitar work I have ever seen or heard... Jeff can make that Tele talk!!!
Agreed ... one of the UK's most talented and enduring musicians. And, by all accounts (although I've never met him), a really nice bloke. xx
And he admittedly can't read music, not bad huh? Lol
You go Jeff 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Have loved these guys from the beginning way back in the 70’s when I was a teenager , the best !!!
Arguably the best version. This was an adrenaline rusher. Wooooo!
love elo...saw them back in the late 70's...they were awesome....love this old Chuck Berry classic...thanks for the sharing....Rusty
Ohhhhhh so amazing, that's still music that rocks. Forget all these pop stars who only look and nothing else. It catapulted me back to the 80s. Thank you for sharing.
Wow. I loved this. Listened to it over and over. Brilliant. I see there are 77 people who gave it the thumbs down. WTF did they expect to hear FFS? Unbelievable.
This is by far the best version of roll over Beethoven
I dunno I really like chuck berry
Absolutely, and sounds better on the Telecaster for some reason. Jeff out did himself on this one.
Honestly, I like the Beatles portrayal a bit better. Both Chuck Berry and Jeff Lynn did phenomenal jobs too tho.
Hummm I would say status quo's version as the best one. But this one is very close...
This band is awesome the kids today don't like this music it not pop I hate pop and rap I like old country and old rock and roll thies guys know how to get with it great guitar
"... and I GOTTA hear it again today!!!"🎶🎸😎🎤🎹🎻🥁🎵
the guy is a phenomenon...
They're just showin' you how it's done son !! Outstanding talented band ,Thanks for the posting!!
ELO the best in live..
My mother's favorite version of this song! RIP mom ❤ Jeff Lynne really jams on guitar!❤🎉
YALL ROCK!! Thanks for the music!! It's timeless . . .
ELO's version is the best I've heard - that includes the Beatles!
Damn! A great song is a great song. His spin on it is the cherry on top.
1 of my favorite rock groups. There instruments and the orchestra instruments sounded so good together
Remember this from when I was a kid, loved it. First ELO song I remember hearing. 👏👏😊❤️👍🏼
A great song, sung with great style and flair. Great job ELQ!
Finally got to see this amazing band couple of weeks ago totally blown me away Jeff Lynne you are pure genius perfection 🎸🎻🎹🎼

So beautiful!!!
I like this Beethoven very much..yeah..😍😍🎸🎸💃💃💋💋
The special effects of this song is amazing I love this song. The piano man is getting a workout 🏋🏻♂️
greg bissonette ....one of my favorite drummer !!
Absolute perfection. I loved this then and I love it now. Thanks for sharing.
Every time I try to sing along with a song I reminded of what a mouthful these words are
Jeff Lynn is a virtuoso, always was but often overlooked. But mark my words, he will get a hall of fame spot.
Speaking of The Hall of Fame, never mind E Clapton with his 3 entries, Wings is well overdue....any problems?
I didn`t overlook Jeff,saw him when i was 16 1976
His telecaster sounds great! fantastic version of a classic.
jeff lynne brilliant and talented in every way. my new love. ELO rocks like crazy. wowow!!
Как вчера, фантастика ❤️❤️❤️😀
Fantastyczny koncert....Dziękuję
tout bon magnifique groups,et chanteur
My 20's was a rock & roll feast for a young guy and his friends. This was on of my favorites 4sure. So many great bands at the time.
Absolutely fantastic.
Are you kidding me?! lol Love this man and his band of great talent~
Super version d' ELO !!! I love it !
I had been looking fir this version for awhile....heard this version as a kid and never knew it was an ELO VERSION....LOVE IT!!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Saw him I. Newcastle last year - note perfect. Best gig EVER.
Always great to hear a new rendition of this song. Jeff Lynne's vocals and guitar are superb. And Richard Tandy rocks on piano.
Great RocknRoll!
Out of this world......................music doesn't get better than this
