this song gives me goosebumps.
That outro is one of the most incredible emotive pieces of music ever recorded to tape!!!!!!!!!!
It is beautiful beyond words 👍😊
This is the way music sounds in dreams.
I call the outro 'haunting', and I don't know why I chose that word, but it really is to me.
Couldn’t agree more.
ELO's deep tracks are better than most bands hits.
Yes ...Yes ...Yes... so true !!!
I compiled my 30 favorite Beatles songs. But couldn't stop at just 30 ELO songs.
True.. some of the album tracks.. oh my lord..
100% True. Virtually every one of my favorite ELO songs were not the ones most people react to. Tightrope for example, is one that is finally getting some reaction love.
No way
Is mystical and wonderful
I was a teenager in the 70s Bought all their stuff as it came out Pure Legends
Loved your reaction. Amazing song and the ending is the best part. ❤
45 years later and I still tear up
I think Time has to be reacted to as a whole. The songs flow into each other as well as telling a story.
Maybe do one video of side one and another of side two.
Isn’t this new world record?
@@Greggers1516 ... Yes, Shangri-La is from NWR, but he also talked about reacting to Time in the future and asked us to comment about how he should do it. Broken up or as a whole.
Soprano Mary Thomas singing alternating vocals with Jeff Lynne makes this, without a doubt, one of the best endings in a song...EVER. This is one of my all time favorite ELO songs. The album "A New World Record" is my favorite ELO record. Shangri La, So Fine, Above the Clouds, and the list goes on and on. All the songs are just so good. Jeff Lynne is a musical genius worthy of going down in history alongside the other masters Handel, Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Wagner, and the many others....... A different era of music....but just as significant. Hopefully in 500 years, others will enjoy his music as much as classical music is still enjoyed to this very day. Because with modern archiving and digital technology, the original recordings should be able to be played forever.
Once you discover ELO you have that crush FOREVER!❤😉
Dont worry .....a lot of us have teared up at this song
Can confirm
Definitely ❤️
@@suzielynne9421always do
Big Wheels and Shangri La are my two current ELO faves. Truly beautiful music.
The ending has always been one of the most epic tracks ever written! It stirs the soul and transports one to another realm!
Tara Peters YES! Well said!
Love your reactions, that’s Richard Tandy on synthasiser and other keyboards when they first toured he would have five different keyboards around him playing one song whilst he was tuning another for the next piece amazing musician
@Josh You have been doing Reactions for only a short time, but when it comes to ELO you have become the standard that all others should be measured by. Keep up the great work. As for another great ELO song I think you’re ready for ‘Fire On High’
I agree. Fire On High. An adventure for the ears.🔥
Thank you! I'll check it out!😁🙏
Forgot to add that Above the Clouds is pure gold. Short but sweet.
TIME is a concept album. If you want to be daring, react to the full album. You would be the first on RUclips.
ELO was not a critical darling during their most productive years. Jeff was accused of being too Beatles derivative, and becoming overly “corporate rock” commercial. The band was popular with the public, though. Unfortunately, it’s archived critical reviews from the era that tend to write history.
The good news: You are apparently not aware that over the last near decade, ELO and Jeff have seen a great critical rehabilitation with many of their most harshest attackers now softening up greatly. Jeff has turned into an “elder statesman of pop rock” of sorts with some suggesting their music was made before its time. Among fellow musicians, Jeff is looked at as a “musician’s musician” and not underrated.
People are starved for melodic, well-crafted pop these days, especially after years of rhythmic-based rap, hip hop and other contemporary music. Younger listeners like yourself are finding ELO daily thanks to TV and movies. A common comment coming from these discoverers is that they’ve “never heard anything like them before”.
Yeah. Right. You have summed things up well. The critics. Experts. Big know it alls. They hated ELO. With a passion. Now it seems to have changed. ELO now are suddenly cool. Go figure ! They were always cool. Jeff Lynne is very very clever. Talented. A musical genius.
Luckily some of us think for ourselvesand . I am stubborn. I don't do what othere tell me tkk do. I do my own thing. No dopey musiic critic tells me who to listen too. Cool or not cool. I decide. Not ghem.

I’m willing to state that from his overall musicality to body if work, Jeff Lynne is right up there with pop geniuses like Brian Wilson. As time rolls on and we see what’s produced by current artists, this claim just gets stronger.
Just my opinion
Think of this in context: this band was literally the biggest musical act in the world at one time. This band was a big part of the end of disco and "what came next" in popular music. Jeff Lynne is a multi instrumentalist genius. He's worked with everyone and held his music tight until several years ago. He refused to sell out and license his music. A few years ago he started sharing his music catalog through advertising licensing, Mr Blue Sky for apple. I think he realized he had to in order to share the music that he has been making for 50 years.
The recent resurgence in interest and airplay for ELO over the last 10+ years is a direct result of this.
It's funny you mentioned Jeff Lynne is a "one man band" he recorded and mixed every part of one of his albums at home.
I haven't seen anybody mention 'One Summer Dream' from the album 'Face The Music'. I've always thought it one of Jeff's best.
Totally agree.
Couldn't agree more... Its difficult to rate what is in my top 5 ELO tunes of all time but 'One summer dream' is always in there.. Do it please Josh!
Beautiful song, that was my intro to ELO
Me too
Shangri-la was the closing track from 'A new world record' so you have to do the opening track, 'Tiperope' just as majestic! Awesome reaction video as always.. keep it going bro!
Thank you, Mark!😁🙏
That whole side of that album is a masterpiece a long with Eldorado.
I'm so lucky to have grown up with ELO 😁 and now Jeff lynne ELO even song touches my soul 🎸💡🎻
This song. Masterpiece. That is it. Awesome song.
I'll add to the chorus of people that adore 'One Summer Dream'. I played that song to death on my record player when I was a teenager back in the late 70's and early 80's. Once again, like so many of their songs, this song has a distinctive intro and outro...but the melody line is a killer and just beautiful....
It's great to see a young fella listening to the music of my childhood. Great stuff.
The ENTIRE Eldorado album is a masterpiece
yup, i have 3 copies if the vinyl. its so addicting. I give the one side with Shanri-la, living think and do ya on New World Record and strong 2nd! I actually can listen to both on repeat forever and not care. lol
The intro to Tightrope and the outro to Shangri-La bookend this album perfectly. That outro is epic. I wish more bands would do concept albums like ELO did.
The first time I heard this it was very late at night on a radio station, on low volume and I was half asleep. I honestly thought I was dreaming because the end sounded like music sounds like in my dreams. It's hypnotized me ever since.
As for Shangri-La, I believe it's a fictional place (from a novel called Lost Horizon, by a James Hilton), a utopia or paradise-like place somewhere in Tibet. It has since become a synonym for utopia or paradise. In the song, it is of course a metaphor for the lost love and/or the state of being in love.
Well said!
I'm glad this wasn't a Top40 hit. I feel like those of us who recognize how great this song is, know something that everybody else doesn't get. We know GREATNESS when we hear it.
Yes!! Exactly!! Very well said! Even as a teenager when I first heard this song, when my friends rolled their eyes to this masterpiece, I felt sorry for them knot knowing the musical genius of Jeff Lynne and ELO!! It was something I recognized Immediately and they just didn't understand. Poor bastards!! LOL!!
Yes Eldorado album all the way......keep up the good work bro!
Thank you!😁🙏
You might like George Harrison's song When We was Fab. It was co-written by Jeff Lynne and his vocals add so much to the song. It's from Georges album Cloud Nine which Jeff did production for. He also played bass and helped with string arrangements. There were many heavy hitter musicians like Elton John on piano and Eric Clapton on guitar as well as Ringo on drums. I think it was one of Georges finest albums thanks to Jeff.
Keep reacting to more ELO 👍😀
ELO is one of my favourite bands from the seventies-eighties. They were really incredible. Thanks so much for showing them to the new generation of people.
Please, try out "Aguila Sideral", from Los Jaivas. A jewel I guess.
Loved your reaction! That was me back in the 70's when I first heard this!
Always loved happy/sad this song made me!
That transition is something else, gets me every time.
Most beautiful outro ever. Needs to be 5 mins longer.
Absolute gold !.... Always will be ✌️🇬🇧
Excellent reaction!! A Time - full album review would be great.
I discovered this song last week, this end always make me cry, like i can feel what Shangri la is.
TIME full run!!!!!! ~~~
What a beautiful song
Not just this song this BAND!
For an outtro from ELO,check out Across The Border.
Its orgasmic.
Yeeeeeeeeeesssss 👍😊
Josh! After working for 30+ years as a radio jock in Tucson, AZ and Hollywood, California I had to pop in and say that you, sir, are amazing with your reactions! Seems your followers here have the most excellent taste in music. Was watching you get into your trance with Floyd's SOYCD. You want another deep track from 1976? From Floyd's "Animals" album, check out "Dogs". My all time favorite next to David Gilmours "High Hopes" live in Gdansk. It'll make you cry, it's that amazing! Thanks for all you do. This channel is the best!!
I got this album on my birthday as a kid in the 70’s, and have since listened to that outro thousands of time… I want it played on my funeral.
I am a super fan of this band. My dad got me into them back in 1975. This is an incredible song to react to. The end really works the emotions. The operatic singing. The way the music builds up. And how Jeff Lynne says he will return.Wow.Great choice Josh. Loved it as an ELO fan.😁❤
Thank you!😁🙏
One of Jeff Lynne's many songs when he suffered from writers block, so he wrote a song about it! That is pure musical genius. Concerto for a Rainy on Out of the Blue followed a similar theme ending with a moment of clarity which was Mr Blue Sky
Goosebumps every time.........
Possibly the best outro EVER!
Espectacular Eléctric Light Orchestra, Try with "Tightrope"."I need her love" "One summer Dream"
One Summer Dream👍
You young guys are reacting and "tearing up" to hearing the track for the first time. I never had the same reaction when I first heard it in 1977, when I bought the album. It's took 45 years of living, making, living with, and losing friends, and listening to this song and ELO to be emotional over this track. It's the memories of my past, that makes me cry listening to this tack.
I will return…..to Josh’s reaction channel. Perfect. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Among some of the best music ever produced directly from the mind of a true genius. This is REAL music, unlike the drivel that's out there today. Thank you Jeff Lynne!
SHANGRY - LA TIENE EL FINALE MAS IMPRESIONANTE DE LA HISTORIA DEL ROCK..
A fantastic song
Very glad you finally reacted to this. You should def do more ELO! Would live to see you react to the time album as well
quality like this doesn't come around too often
Soooo glad you're enjoying all the great ELO music! (Welcome to the club!)
Big Wheels. Great song by ELO that has dipped under the radar for most. Prob one of Jeff Lynnes finest pieces of work.
I always get chills when I hear this song!
This and One Summer Dream are my favs., but there are so many innovative songs. That's a male band member singing the soprano toward end. You would also like the transition in Steppin' Out, on Out Of The Blue. Underrated is an understatement. No #1 hits! I think the highest was #4. Btw, can't believe someone hit the dislike button. They must have been standing on their head.
Thank you haha😆🙏
check the symphonic ending of Elo' s SHANGRILA and at the very ending richard tandy plays a few synth notes of summertime and the living is easy. so cool he fit that there.
It defeats my comprehension that such a few people actually review this outstanding song...
And i agree with you. Really dont know how they aren’t more well known to my knowledge they are a top 5 band of all time (#1 for me)
No. 1 without a doubt 👍😊
Mission! must listen to "Mission". ELO's "Mission- of the sacred heart" from a New World Record. Cheers, buddy, when you do. It's so good, one day you will :) .
You have a good “ear for music details” Josh. Good job!
So glad you listened to the end!
TIME is my favorite ELO album and you have to review it as a whole. Each song flows into the next with little transitions....you'll love it.
ELO is the most versatile and best band ever, Thank you Jeff Lynne and please Tour in 2022.
One of the best songs introduced by anyone, but ELO/Jeff Lynne is pure class
Amazing reaction. ELO is highly underrated. This album is amazing. This track is beautiful. The climax of the track is so starkly different to the rest of the tone . When the change begins @ @ the tone is so powerful your heart just stops for a second from the emotional outpouring of devotion and love. Truly a masterpiece. Gets me every time.
Great reaction. This and Telephone Line are my favourite ELO songs👍
TIME Album Is another MASTER Piece There's NO Way You Can React to Album as A Whole
What to have your mind blown? React to Tightrope by ELO.
You should listen to this entire album for sure. This is there best
Most albums are hit and miss, however A New World Record is a hit all the way through. There is no bad or wasted song on the entire album.
Yep. That ending is what the word "epic" was created for.
The Beatles Hey Jude reference: the singer is saying his love (his Shangri-La) has faded, comparing it to how the ending to Hey Jude fades out slowly in volume.
When one listened to a record on a turntable and watched the needle float into the centre. It was an experience!
Shangri-la a mythical place of perfection. Beauty and life and love. A place referenced in books, movies (Lost Horizon) and music.
I love the Time album my first concert ever💜
A superb reaction Josh to a beautiful ELO song with the greatest outro ever that brings tears each and every time.... the album "Time" now Josh in its entirety (a big ask Josh but one that you will not regret).....a wonderfully prophetic concept album that saw a musical change in the ELO sound whilst keeping the sweeping strings 👍😊
Jeff was known as Beatle Jeff. He lived with George Harrison for awhile. Produce his last album Cloud 9. Took his teenage son under his wing after George’s death.✨Do the Traveling Wilburys “ Handle With Care” the video. True supergroup you have Jeff, George, Tom, Bob & Roy. 🔥
I actually like "End of the Line" better, because Jeff has a bigger part in it.
Thank you
Great track with a cool ending.
The whole On the Third Day album is a mood. A must listen!
I just discovered your channel yesterday, and am catching up on your reactions!
Just gotta tell you how much I am enjoying your vids! You look amazing! Your lighting is almost always interesting! And your EDITING skills are stellar!
I love the your intense emotional reactions to the music! Your facial expressions are fantastic! You have a beautiful face with intense eyes and a pretty smile!
Love your ATTENTION to DETAIL!
;)
A wonderful ending to a great album. The lovely female voice is also heard on the song Rockeria and used to great effect. I am always amazed at how the mainstream seems to forget these gems. How can you ignore something like this?!
Please do a full review of Time, that would be great.
They're kind of "underrated" because they're still ahead of time. So progressive.
I think if you react to the TIME album as a whole you will better get the flow of the story being told. Besides the music is phenomenal , so you won't be sorry ! Jeff had such a remarkable voice . So soothing , and mellow ..PERFECT for the Ballads he so masterfully crafted ! By The By . It's a joy to watch you so enjoy the music that made me cry when I was a kid .
Every ELO fan loves the passionate ending. If you're an ELO fan then you should definitely listen to "The Rape" by Esperanto. It has probably what is my second favorite ending, full of passion, grief and emotions. Check it out!
Great track and the album its from is absolutely brilliant
Hello young brother and greetings from North Carolina. Thanks so much for your honesty and your passion for the amazing appreciation for ELO! This song is so unlike the pop music and some of the sappy love songs of that era. Yes, I was there. I'm 60 now and I've mellowed. Back in the mid 1970's, most of the people I knew were listening to shallow, mundane tunes that would sell hits. I SO appreciate you going into deep tracks that have been unearthed for the listeners of today! Please, keep doing what what are doing to save the great music of the era! Shalom!
Thank you!!😁🙏🏽
A reaction to Time as an album would be great! I wonder what state of mind you'll be in after. Not́e that some editions include singles that were not included on the original LP, as extra tracks. As they are placed at the end, they do not occur in "story order", if there is such an order.
It's THAT good! 💕
Amazing Pieces of art by Jeff Lynne
Great reaction.
Yes! Yes! - Time is so under-rated as were most of ELO's albums (despite the band having huge hits). Not only does Time have a string of superb songs that were not actually big hits (ELO were beginning to lose their commercial magic by then) but being a concept album, they flow so well together. Reacting to the entire work would be awesome. Not seen it done elsewhere.
Jeff's albums are always packed full of ideas - it's time his back catalog was re-appraised as a set of albums rather than just the hits.
Eldorado is also a great album - but perhaps harder listening than Time (it's a bit closer to a prog feel than the more electronic pop of Time). I have seen it reviewed by a pair of 'reactors' who were not ELO fans especially but they still appreciated it.
Excellent choice Josh, love your reaction. You should check out Waterfall from the Face the Music Album too 😃
I love your reaction. I’ve been listening to this for the last 40 years. Yes I’m THAT old! You’re not human if it doesn’t make you tear up. And yes Jeff was and still is an undeniable genius but take a look at some live performances, there are a lot more members of ELO that were/are incredibly talented. ELO was more than just Jeff Lynne.
Time every time Josh what an album, the album is all about time travel, a great story told throughout.
Jeff Lynne is a beast!
