When I was in high school and all the other kids were listening to Journey...REO Speedwagon...I had found ELO and I wondered why everyone wasn't listening to this greatness?.....Jeff Lynne stands above....in my opinion, no one comes close to the magic he creates 🎵❤️😁👌
Saw him in 2018 when he went to MSG in NYC. I didn't mind the trip from NH because I was going to see Jeff frickin' Lynne. Dead center, 14 rows from the stage. Awesome concert.
@@Queen_of_Hearts-Sharnell Thank you. It was a great concert! I keep checking his website to see if he's on tour again...hopefully he'll be closer next time!
The main reason that E.L.O and the Traveling Wilburys sounded soooooo good is because Jeff was the producer of the albums as well. He produced The Beatles Anthology album back in the 90's.
I had the great pleasure of seeing ELO live in 1978 with the Out of the Blue tour at Stafford's Bingley Hall in the UK. Fantastic Group and still Touring now, still a great band to see today.
I saw ELO live in Oakland in 2018. It was their first US tour in over 35 years. It was spectacular; took me right back to the 70's and 80's large arena concerts. And Jeff Lynne sounds perfect. If you get a chance don't miss it!
I had two friends see them in Philadelphia. One is a metalhead, the other likes weird music (Zappa). Both independently said it was the best concert they'd ever seen.
My favourite band. Great song from a great album. But they have so many great albums. Brilliant. Glad you are enjoying them. Jeff is a genius. Been enjoying ELO for 50 years! Still sounding great today. This was my first album!
My all time favourite ELO album OUT OF THE BLUE, this guy is a pure genius, been a massive fan since 1978 when i first heard sweet talkin woman, and out of the blue was my first ELO album that i got as a Christmas present 1978 😎
ELO at their peak! Amazing! As well as Jeff Lynne, full credit must go to Kelly Groucutt (the bassist & other singer) for working out those amazing vocal parts with Jeff. Full credit to Louis Clark for creating all those choir vocal parts. Credit also to keyboard player Richard Tandy for playing a big part in the arrangements of the songs.
Yes ELO was more than just Jeff Lynne . Kelly Groucutt the bassist for the group was also a backing vocalist for the group and sang lead and co- lead on a couple of songs. He and Jeff harmonized so great together and i would put them right up with the Bee Gees, Simon and Garfunkel, Queen ,and the Beach Boys.Richard Tandy the keyboardist extraordinaire is one of the finest rock keyboardist ever if you ever do as live reaction to one of their peak (from 1973-79) you will see he is playing 3 keyboards at one time he is incredible.Bev Bevan a great rock drummer in his own right founded the group with Jeff in 1971 from the ashes another group The Move along with Roy Wood who left the group after the first album leaving Jeff to take the reins Jeff produced all the albums ,wrote all the original music and along with Conductor Lous Clark and keyboardist Richard Tandy arranged all the orchestra parts with Clark also arranging choral parts as well.ELO in my opinion is one of the finest bands ever I'm so glad you enjoy their music If you have any questions regarding them feel free to ask me because i am THE BIGGEST ELO FAN and i am at your service.
It's actual fun to watch both of your reactions to ELO. Appreciate you guys so much for your love of music, and even more so, for your warmth, and goodness which shines right through.
Jeff Lynne was most inspired early on by the Beatles. So later in life, before these Legends started passing away, those guys, George Harrison, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, and if there’s another one I can’t remember right now….. they had Jeff Lynne building this band and they did very well, but they never would’ve done anything really, if not for Jeff Lynne. He was killing it with ELO when these guys were starting to retire. They were big fans of him already. Jeff Lynne was a legend from the day he looked outside his hotel window and saw the sun shine on the Alps. He wrote Mr. Blue Sky. He was given that magic, like so many of the chosen, he was given a divine gift from God. Or the Aliens, choose your divine Power. Doesn’t matter what you call Him. He’s sitting there just waiting until He gets His precious chosen one back by His side. God looks down on Jeff Lynne and is impressed. Even the creator of the universe is baffled by Jeff Lynne’s genius. Yes, I realize that if Jeff Lynne passes away, I will not know which end is up.
I actually saw his last live concert in Pittsburgh at PPG Arena…..just before Covid-19 hit…..this show Dhani Harrison (George Harrison’s son) was the opening act…..during ELO’s set Dhani came to on stage he did lead vocals when they did Traveling Wilbury’s big hit Handle with Care, it was a show stopper showing videos on each member of the Traveling Wilbury’s…..it was a great show….ELO’s played for 90 minutes…Dhani played for about 45 minutes…Dhani came out to personally autograph his new album at intermission…..
Big hit when i was in high school. I didnt understand the lyrics until i was married years later and my wife would go away fpr a week or so and i would literally be frozen, not knowing what to do with myself when she wasnt around. Great song!
Jeff Lynn is a giant in Rock music scene. He is actually a fantastic producer. He has produced and written so much music for other famous artists. The guy is a true musical genius.
I’m going to see them in of all places Milwaukee with my 16 year old daughter who loooves them! Surprise surprise! Road trip!!!! I’m Australian but we live near Toronto! I’m sooo excited to see them and have this experience with my youngest child. She’s stoked and I ask her what her favourite song was - and couldn’t believe the answer …. It was Tightrope! Go figure! WOW! I’m so excited in very late April. Let you know how it goes. But I have to say the reason I comment is because having 4 children of my own I love the bond you guys have - it’s beautiful to see 🥰💕❤️💋💋
Back in the 70's, ELO's Concerts were considered one of the BEST Shows to go to! The light show at the concerts blew folks away! I was too young to go to the concerts, but they were supposed to be epic!
He wasn't just a Traveling Wilbury..He produced both their albums too. Without him, it probably wouldn't have worked...And, he produced albums for Tom Petty, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, Roy Orbison, Dave Edmunds, Brian Wilson....The list is endless. The albums he produced and in some cases co-wrote are considered some of their their best work. The Jeff Lynne magic....Twenty plus years in obscurity, living in Los Angeles, he couldn't sell an album or put bums on seats to save his life, but somehow, magically, in 2016, the world suddenly realised who he was...By 2017, he's filling stadiums and has THREE albums in the top ten here in the UK. He's up there with the greats. JEFF LYNNE IS A GENIUS. You mention Tom Hanks. He's a fan too.
You gentleman make some very entertaining reactions! Thank you! You really need to explore the entire ELO catalog. Quite a journey from the early 70's to the mid 80's. Also, please react to the live videos from the Wembley or bust live show! Have fun and thanks again
If you have some time to kill over the holidays, you should watch, "Mr. Blue Sky - The story of Jeff Lynne and ELO" It's a pretty good documentary and it's on youtube. Don't worry, there are only bits of songs, so it won't ruin any future reactions. My choice for your next ELO would be.... "Do Ya" 😁
You need to do all of "Concerto For A Rainy Day" which included "Standin' In The Rain". When "Out Of The Blue" was released as a double vinyl album it occupied all of side 3. Look for the documentary thing on here by It's All Pop Music - Mr Blue Sky: The Story of Jeff Lynne & ELO As a guy in his late 50s that has been a fan of ELO since 1970s I am so glad they are getting new younger fans.
I enjoy y’all’s reaction to E.L.O. Last Train to London is ELO. I don’t even know which song with you guys. So I guess I need to go back. But you have a lot of really good suggestions if you haven’t seen them. Telephone Line! Oh… you already chose. ⁉️⁉️⁉️I have a suggestion.⁉️⁉️⁉️ I suggest “Can’t Get it Out of My Head” The most. The lyrics will change your vocabulary forever.
And his band is incredible, and they are super confident because Jeff would show up with a brand new song and he could play every instrument, so they knew all this perfectly. He is like Prince and Freddy Mercury and so many other geniuses. I actually just became a big fan of ELO in the past 2 years. So I am absolutely head over heels.
This is one of my favourite songs from ELO! But you reeeallyyy should listen to my favourite songs of their album "Time"! It's exactly the first three songs of that album: Prologue/Twilight/Yours Truly 2095 and I suggest you to listen to all 3 in one round because they're attached amazingly, especially because there's no Twilight without the Prologue and Yours Truly 2095 has it all, futuristic sounds, lyrics and very very cool for that time! Listen to it all and you won't regret it! ❤😊🙏
On an island? It would be ELO Out of the Blue. Double album that needs to be listened to from beginning to end, it was made to be listened to that way. I was given that album on my 14th birthday, loved it ever since & still have it
I first saw elo in 1973 "on the third day" tour,(ma ma belle) was the song I first heard,and thats why i went to the concert,immediately went and bought their first record "no answer "(10538 overture) and elo 2 (roll over Beethoven) and I knew these guys would be a super group in short order...also I went to 17 elo concerts
The MAGIC and GENIUS of Jeff Lynne is SKY HIGH. Hit records are tough enough to attain, but to incorporate Violin's and Cello's into the music and still have a hit???? AMAZING!!!!!😀😀😀😀
Fun fact: Jeff Lynne was, during the late 60's and 70's, referred to as "the 5th Beatle." Reaction In Action, I have a question- Have you listened and reacted to "Sweet Talkin' Woman?"
All I remember about these ELO songs from back then was they had a adult feel to them with the orchestra instruments playing along with the groove of 1970's music. And the older I got the more I appreciated them.
'New World Rising'/'Ocean Breakup (Reprise)'/'Dreaming of 4000' are ELO songs I would recommend for you to hear. They're from ELO's 'On The Third Day' album, and they are ELO while Jeff Lynne was still finding his way with ELO, and before he had ELO polished and refined. Keep the ELO vids coming!
Ive loved ELO for 40 years now! One of my favorite groups! Saw them in concert about 3 years ago in Sacramento and Jeff Lynn was excellent. Hes in his 70’s and looks and sounds the same. Best concert i’ve ever been to. Try the song “Do Ya”
Great album cover and imagine having the vinyl: it's double, it opens up and the picture continues on the back. Great album overall. This is from 1977 and it's the only time the spaceship concept came up in their classic period. The spaceship has been rehashed in more recent compilations and Jeff Lynne's ELO releases.
I'm lucky to be born in 1963....loved the 70's and 80's. You should ck out Peter Gabriel... sledgehammer....or anything by Queen...Tears for Fears the song Shout. And Billy Joel...live...New York state of mind song😊😊😊😊😊enjoy... welcome to great music 🎶🎵🎵🎵
It is super interesting to me, who lived through the time when this song was on the radio, to see that POCs are now listening to it. At the time POCs listened to 'soul' music or Latin music, but only rarely did they listen to this kind of song When they did listen the songs were called cross overs. As the 70s came to the end, Disco had begun to bring POC audiences to what was then called POP music. Disco songs like: Shame (Evelyn 'Champagne' King); The Best Disco in Town (Ritchie Family) and Star Love (Cheryl Lynn) moved off the dance floor and onto first 'soul' radio channels but quickly were picked up by POP stations. That opened the door to other artists crossing from POP to ROCK and then back to Soul. From the same ELO album came the hit Sweet Talkin' Woman.
Hi guys, Just come across your channel with ELO and Mr Blue Sky. I'm 61 years now and I'm thrilled that you appreciate the music I listened to when I was a young man here in the UK. There is so much music out there from this time that blows your mind. Jeff Lynn also made music with the travelling willburys. Check it out.
Yeah that was me, and the "jet noise" is exactly what i think when i hear the beginning too. Love the fast guitar strumming too. I recommend listening to "Steppin' Out" or "Big Wheels" both are IMO the more underrated songs from the Out of the Blue album.
I may be four months late to the party but your reactions are excellent. I don't know if you ever heard the Four Tops song, "I'll Turn to Stone". It's very similar I'm surprised there wasn't a lawsuit. Check it out. Could be a coincidence idk.
Still got this album on blue vynil from 1978 in pristine condition,Across The Borfer and Wild Wrst Hero are two of my favourites off this epic masterpiece of an album,first got into them in 76 when I bought A New World Record.....Jeff is a legend from this little island of ours.....
Hola. Bien. Por qué no incluyen la hermosa balada " Midnight blue " - Electric Light Orchestra ( 1979 ). Esta bella canción está basada en la obra " Romeo y Julieta " de William Shakespeare , y narra - pienso - el encuentro furtivo de dos amantes , durante la noche. Muy buen video , maestros. Electric Light Orchestra , extraordinaria banda inglesa. Un abrazo cordial , amigos. Saludos desde Chile , Sudamérica.
You guys should listen into an ELO show on Lost Planet Radio, you'd probably enjoy it. Jeff has quite a collection of music. Glad you're enjoying this one from 1977 from Out of the Blue. It shows how timeless the ELO tracks are. Jeff has done some solo work - I've posted some on the Lost Planet Radio page. Every album goes in a slightly different direction. The "classic" ELO era was mostly the 70's and early '80s. That "era" ended in 1986 with the Balance of Power album. Then Jeff did all the work with the Beatles, Petty, Harrison, the Wilburys. But he started recording under the ELO banner again in 2001 and continues today. There's been teases that a new album is being worked on. He likes to do everything himself now, all the music and vocals. Enjoy!
Gonna say it one more time... a must see is the LIVE performance of "Telephone Line" at Wembley Stadium...is is awesome, and you will see ALL of the players in Jeff Lynn's ELO !! ALSO... there is a live performance of "As My Guitar Gently Weeps"... a George Harrison classic song..in this performance, there are so many superstars! Jeff Lynn, Prince, George Harrisons son..I can't remember his name plays guitar and looks dead on his father, Tom Petty, Steve Windwood..it is a great performance...I believe it was a tribute to George..watch it..it is awesome.
Love the reactions guys. To really appreciate the genius and beautiful voice of Jeff Lynne...must check out TELEPHONELINE live from Wembley from 2017. sound quality and visuals are bloody gorgeous,
Look up the facts about Jeff Lynne when you bring up the Traveling Wilburys. The person also in the group is George Harrison. The reason he is a part of the Traveling Wilburys is because Jeff Lynne is from England and they are very close friends. The reason they are very close is that before Jeff Lynne started ELO, he was the producer for the Beatles . He produced a bunch of the Beatles songs. A lot of people call Jeff Lynne the fifth Beatle. If you listen to Horace Wimp from Jeff Lynne, you will hear some similarities from the Beatles and ELO in some of their songs.
"Livin' Thing", "Do Ya", "Telephone Line", "Sweet Talkin' Woman", "Don't Bring Me Down", "Can't Get It Out of My Head" are all worthy. You're definitely not giving enough credit to the rest of the band.
No one uses the studio like Jeff Lynne. "Out of The Blue" is a masterpiece.
Yes it was, my favourites are still Elderado and face the music ❤
When I was in high school and all the other kids were listening to Journey...REO Speedwagon...I had found ELO and I wondered why everyone wasn't listening to this greatness?.....Jeff Lynne stands above....in my opinion, no one comes close to the magic he creates 🎵❤️😁👌
Absolute top tier music ;)
Agree!!!!!!!!!
Jeez the ikds in my High School were into ABBA. That's what living in Australia was like at the time.
She left him.....His life turned to stone......He wants her back!
Thanks Mark.
Saw him in 2018 when he went to MSG in NYC. I didn't mind the trip from NH because I was going to see Jeff frickin' Lynne. Dead center, 14 rows from the stage. Awesome concert.
That’s awesome. Dead center row 14 sounds amazing.
I envy your memories of that. What a once in a lifetime experience that must have been!!
@@Queen_of_Hearts-Sharnell Thank you. It was a great concert! I keep checking his website to see if he's on tour again...hopefully he'll be closer next time!
The main reason that E.L.O and the Traveling Wilburys sounded soooooo good is because Jeff was the producer of the albums as well. He produced The Beatles Anthology album back in the 90's.
I had the great pleasure of seeing ELO live in 1978 with the Out of the Blue tour at Stafford's Bingley Hall in the UK. Fantastic Group and still Touring now, still a great band to see today.
Wow!
I saw ELO live in Oakland in 2018. It was their first US tour in over 35 years. It was spectacular; took me right back to the 70's and 80's large arena concerts. And Jeff Lynne sounds perfect. If you get a chance don't miss it!
I was there! Drove through the night from Portland. Amazing show in Oakland.
I had two friends see them in Philadelphia. One is a metalhead, the other likes weird music (Zappa). Both independently said it was the best concert they'd ever seen.
My favourite band. Great song from a great album. But they have so many great albums. Brilliant. Glad you are enjoying them. Jeff is a genius. Been enjoying ELO for 50 years! Still sounding great today. This was my first album!
My all time favourite ELO album OUT OF THE BLUE, this guy is a pure genius, been a massive fan since 1978 when i first heard sweet talkin woman, and out of the blue was my first ELO album that i got as a Christmas present 1978 😎
Jeff has been in my life since 1970 he has all ways rise my soul 💯🎸💡🎻
Me as well . They are the best
This was definitely a big radio hit back in the day.
only reached 13 on Billboard and 18 on UK singles chart in 1977. I think it was great but a complete wall of sound you can't dance to
ELO at their peak! Amazing! As well as Jeff Lynne, full credit must go to Kelly Groucutt (the bassist & other singer) for working out those amazing vocal parts with Jeff. Full credit to Louis Clark for creating all those choir vocal parts. Credit also to keyboard player Richard Tandy for playing a big part in the arrangements of the songs.

It's actual fun to watch both of your reactions to ELO. Appreciate you guys so much for your love of music, and even more so, for your warmth, and goodness which shines right through.
Another fantastic reaction, well done.
Try Last Train To London, you will so love it. ELO going a bit disco
Jeff Lynne was most inspired early on by the Beatles.

Yes, I realize that if Jeff Lynne passes away, I will not know which end is up.
Yes! Traveling Wilburys! Jeff Lynne always under-rated as a vocalist, IMHO...
John Lennon said that if the Beatles were still together in the 70s they would have sounded like ELO
I actually saw his last live concert in Pittsburgh at PPG Arena…..just before Covid-19 hit…..this show Dhani Harrison (George Harrison’s son) was the opening act…..during ELO’s set Dhani came to on stage he did lead vocals when they did Traveling Wilbury’s big hit Handle with Care, it was a show stopper showing videos on each member of the Traveling Wilbury’s…..it was a great show….ELO’s played for 90 minutes…Dhani played for about 45 minutes…Dhani came out to personally autograph his new album at intermission…..
There must not have been a dry eye in the concert hall when they did Handle With Care 😮
I am still waiting for the ELO poster in your background😎👍💯
Big hit when i was in high school. I didnt understand the lyrics until i was married years later and my wife would go away fpr a week or so and i would literally be frozen, not knowing what to do with myself when she wasnt around. Great song!
When it comes to great deep cuts for ELO songs, you can't go wrong with Tightrope!
They did it about 10 months ago
It was a great radio song when it was new. It was played often during the holiday season of 1977/78.
Jeff Lynn is a giant in Rock music scene. He is actually a fantastic producer. He has produced and written so much music for other famous artists. The guy is a true musical genius.
I’m going to see them in of all places Milwaukee with my 16 year old daughter who loooves them! Surprise surprise! Road trip!!!! I’m Australian but we live near Toronto! I’m sooo excited to see them and have this experience with my youngest child. She’s stoked and I ask her what her favourite song was - and couldn’t believe the answer …. It was Tightrope! Go figure! WOW! I’m so excited in very late April. Let you know how it goes. But I have to say the reason I comment is because having 4 children of my own I love the bond you guys have - it’s beautiful to see 🥰💕❤️💋💋
Jeff Lynne is a genius. He wrote, arranged and produced every single piece of work you will ever hear.😎
Back in the 70's, ELO's Concerts were considered one of the BEST Shows to go to! The light show at the concerts blew folks away! I was too young to go to the concerts, but they were supposed to be epic!
He wasn't just a Traveling Wilbury..He produced both their albums too.

He's up there with the greats. JEFF LYNNE IS A GENIUS. You mention Tom Hanks. He's a fan too.
You gentleman make some very entertaining reactions! Thank you!
You really need to explore the entire ELO catalog. Quite a journey from the early 70's to the mid 80's. Also, please react to the live videos from the Wembley or bust live show! Have fun and thanks again
"Telephone Line", "Big Wheels", "Starlight" are great next reactions for ELO!
Awesome song I could say the same about so many Jeff Lynne songs all I will say is let's enjoy this genius thanks guys ❤
I assume someone has mentioned ELO is doing their final tour now. I saw them once in 1981 and am going to see them in Boston next month. So excited!
If you have some time to kill over the holidays, you should watch, "Mr. Blue Sky - The story of Jeff Lynne and ELO" It's a pretty good documentary and it's on youtube. Don't worry, there are only bits of songs, so it won't ruin any future reactions. My choice for your next ELO would be....
"Do Ya" 😁
Great suggestion.
Thanks fatty good suggestion.
Great suggestion! I was watching it on YT last week. It's definitely worth watching!
If you're wanting something powerful go with Eldorado/Eldorado finale
You guys are great. Love ELO and the reaction.
Discovery is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Seen them in Houston it was FANTASTIC A DREAM COME TRUE!!!!!!!
You need to do all of "Concerto For A Rainy Day" which included "Standin' In The Rain". When "Out Of The Blue" was released as a double vinyl album it occupied all of side 3.
Look for the documentary thing on here by It's All Pop Music - Mr Blue Sky: The Story of Jeff Lynne & ELO
As a guy in his late 50s that has been a fan of ELO since 1970s I am so glad they are getting new younger fans.
I’m going to have to look that up!
I enjoy y’all’s reaction to E.L.O.
Last Train to London is ELO. I don’t even know which song with you guys. So I guess I need to go back. But you have a lot of really good suggestions if you haven’t seen them.
Telephone Line!
Oh… you already chose.
⁉️⁉️⁉️I have a suggestion.⁉️⁉️⁉️
I suggest “Can’t Get it Out of My Head”
The most. The lyrics will change your vocabulary forever.
And his band is incredible, and they are super confident because Jeff would show up with a brand new song and he could play every instrument, so they knew all this perfectly. He is like Prince and Freddy Mercury and so many other geniuses.
I actually just became a big fan of ELO in the past 2 years. So I am absolutely head over heels.
Jeff Lynne is the MAN. Enough said. Great reaction gents 🙏👍😊
Look at the Wembley Stadium vids, Jeff Lynne, in his 70's and still rocking!
This is one of my favourite songs from ELO! But you reeeallyyy should listen to my favourite songs of their album "Time"! It's exactly the first three songs of that album: Prologue/Twilight/Yours Truly 2095 and I suggest you to listen to all 3 in one round because they're attached amazingly, especially because there's no Twilight without the Prologue and Yours Truly 2095 has it all, futuristic sounds, lyrics and very very cool for that time! Listen to it all and you won't regret it! ❤😊🙏
Jeff's final tour will be this year. I'm going to Detroit to see ELO!
Mizy & Meezy, next from ELO please react to their 1979 classic, *"The Diary of Horace Wimp".* You'll love it!
ELO is ALWAYS relevant - ANY time o' year !!! saw them in '82 in omaha !
I was at that same concert! Hall & Oates opened for them. Great night!
Time by ELO is also a good one!!
Their best album.
the Live at Wembley version is AMAZING! So cool to see them perform this song.
Jeff Lynne's ELO is starting up a new tour later this year (2024). You HAVE to see them!!!! Best you will ever see!
ELO people here! There is a new US tour starts in August 2024. If you like the high voices, listen to It's Over.
You have to see it on the DVD live...it was at the O2 in London ---so cool. It is on RUclips.
On an island? It would be ELO Out of the Blue. Double album that needs to be listened to from beginning to end, it was made to be listened to that way. I was given that album on my 14th birthday, loved it ever since & still have it
You have many more to get through. Try Eldorado overture/can't get it out of my head, next. You'll love the classical intro.
My favorite! But they need to have Eldorado overture mixed to Can't Get It Out Of My Head like you said 💯❤👍
I first saw elo in 1973 "on the third day" tour,(ma ma belle) was the song I first heard,and thats why i went to the concert,immediately went and bought their first record "no answer "(10538 overture) and elo 2 (roll over Beethoven) and I knew these guys would be a super group in short order...also I went to 17 elo concerts
Jeff Lynne & ELO, not ordinary - 3D music....great reaction guys 👍
Friends , I agree, next reaction " It's over" , está canción fue versionada por otros artistas.
happy Christmas and Happy New Year 2023
You guys have great joyful reactions! ❤️ Also waiting and searching for a 2023 tour!
ELO is everything
Listen to the whole LP! The whole thing is a Work of Art!
This is one I suggested a while since.Glad you enjoyed it!Now go for living thing,sure you will find this one 🔥.Great reaction.
The MAGIC and GENIUS of Jeff Lynne is SKY HIGH. Hit records are tough enough to attain, but to incorporate Violin's and Cello's into the music and still have a hit???? AMAZING!!!!!😀😀😀😀
One of the best reactions ever.
thanks
The whole LP is fantastic give it a listen.
Jeff is currently touring the states at the moment.
you guys always help me to feel so good about elo cause no one i know gets it but like you they soubd like music 3d so thank you
Fun fact: Jeff Lynne was, during the late 60's and 70's, referred to as "the 5th Beatle."
Reaction In Action, I have a question- Have you listened and reacted to "Sweet Talkin' Woman?"
Queen is above with the strings playing that ELO UFO lol
All I remember about these ELO songs from back then was they had a adult feel to them with the orchestra instruments playing along with the groove of 1970's music. And the older I got the more I appreciated them.
You guys are so great together. Love how you bond over the music.
I went to ELO concert 2 years a row DETROIT
Next has to be Jungle from the same album it got such a groove
JEFF LYNNE:GENIUS... I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU REACT TO LAST TRAIN TO LONDON AND SHRANGRI-LA
jeffs composition is other worldly.
'New World Rising'/'Ocean Breakup (Reprise)'/'Dreaming of 4000' are ELO songs I would recommend for you to hear. They're from ELO's 'On The Third Day' album, and they are ELO while Jeff Lynne was still finding his way with ELO, and before he had ELO polished and refined. Keep the ELO vids coming!
If you can find it. Jeff Lynne his first band 'the idle race', their single 'imposters of life's magazine'. Where it all began,
Ive loved ELO for 40 years now! One of my favorite groups! Saw them in concert about 3 years ago in Sacramento and Jeff Lynn was excellent. Hes in his 70’s and looks and sounds the same. Best concert i’ve ever been to. Try the song “Do Ya”
Great album cover and imagine having the vinyl: it's double, it opens up and the picture continues on the back. Great album overall. This is from 1977 and it's the only time the spaceship concept came up in their classic period. The spaceship has been rehashed in more recent compilations and Jeff Lynne's ELO releases.
They have been inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame

ELO are touring now.
"A New World Record" and "Out of the Blue" Jeff Lynne was at his creative peak IMO.
You have to react to “Tightrope”. Sends shivers up and down my spine!
Edit:- just seen you’ve done that one. What about “All over the World”.
It is super interesting to me, who lived through the time when this song was on the radio, to see that POCs are now listening to it. At the time POCs listened to 'soul' music or Latin music, but only rarely did they listen to this kind of song When they did listen the songs were called cross overs. As the 70s came to the end, Disco had begun to bring POC audiences to what was then called POP music. Disco songs like: Shame (Evelyn 'Champagne' King); The Best Disco in Town (Ritchie Family) and Star Love (Cheryl Lynn) moved off the dance floor and onto first 'soul' radio channels but quickly were picked up by POP stations. That opened the door to other artists crossing from POP to ROCK and then back to Soul. From the same ELO album came the hit Sweet Talkin' Woman.
They will be in Bakersfield CA. On May 18 2023
Hi guys,
Just come across your channel with ELO and Mr Blue Sky.
I'm 61 years now and I'm thrilled that you appreciate the music I listened to when I was a young man here in the UK.
There is so much music out there from this time that blows your mind.
Jeff Lynn also made music with the travelling willburys.
Check it out.
Yeah that was me, and the "jet noise" is exactly what i think when i hear the beginning too. Love the fast guitar strumming too. I recommend listening to "Steppin' Out" or "Big Wheels" both are IMO the more underrated songs from the Out of the Blue album.
Yes and yes!
I may be four months late to the party but your reactions are excellent.
I don't know if you ever heard the Four Tops song, "I'll Turn to Stone". It's very similar I'm surprised there wasn't a lawsuit. Check it out. Could be a coincidence idk.
Great advice on making recommendations, cheers.
Yes! They tour and are great.....still!
Still got this album on blue vynil from 1978 in pristine condition,Across The Borfer and Wild Wrst Hero are two of my favourites off this epic masterpiece of an album,first got into them in 76 when I bought A New World Record.....Jeff is a legend from this little island of ours.....

Un abrazo cordial , amigos.
Saludos desde Chile , Sudamérica.
You had me had elo!
Now listen to “Showdown” … it was featured recently in a big beer commercial.
You guys should listen into an ELO show on Lost Planet Radio, you'd probably enjoy it. Jeff has quite a collection of music. Glad you're enjoying this one from 1977 from Out of the Blue. It shows how timeless the ELO tracks are. Jeff has done some solo work - I've posted some on the Lost Planet Radio page. Every album goes in a slightly different direction. The "classic" ELO era was mostly the 70's and early '80s. That "era" ended in 1986 with the Balance of Power album. Then Jeff did all the work with the Beatles, Petty, Harrison, the Wilburys. But he started recording under the ELO banner again in 2001 and continues today. There's been teases that a new album is being worked on. He likes to do everything himself now, all the music and vocals. Enjoy!
Gonna say it one more time... a must see is the LIVE performance of "Telephone Line" at Wembley Stadium...is is awesome, and you will see ALL of the players in Jeff Lynn's ELO !!
ALSO... there is a live performance of "As My Guitar Gently Weeps"... a George Harrison classic song..in this performance, there are so many superstars! Jeff Lynn, Prince, George Harrisons son..I can't remember his name plays guitar and looks dead on his father, Tom Petty, Steve Windwood..it is a great performance...I believe it was a tribute to George..watch it..it is awesome.
Love the reactions guys. To really appreciate the genius and beautiful voice of Jeff Lynne...must check out TELEPHONELINE live from Wembley from 2017. sound quality and visuals are bloody gorgeous,
guys love your reaction to Jeff Lynne/ELO = Listen ELO Stranger or So Fine or 21st Century Man, infact them all, Jeff Lynne is just in another planet
Look up the facts about Jeff Lynne when you bring up the Traveling Wilburys. The person also in the group is George Harrison. The reason he is a part of the Traveling Wilburys is because Jeff Lynne is from England and they are very close friends. The reason they are very close is that before Jeff Lynne started ELO, he was the producer for the Beatles . He produced a bunch of the Beatles songs. A lot of people call Jeff Lynne the fifth Beatle. If you listen to Horace Wimp from Jeff Lynne, you will hear some similarities from the Beatles and ELO in some of their songs.
"Livin' Thing", "Do Ya", "Telephone Line", "Sweet Talkin' Woman", "Don't Bring Me Down", "Can't Get It Out of My Head" are all worthy. You're definitely not giving enough credit to the rest of the band.
Good point about the rest of the band.
It's so sad but that's the way it's over
