Wow...what a great combination...Rosie, Jeff, the Cello babes...and Mr. 'Flatcap' guitarist all in super sync..!! Love it!! And the drummer hangs it all together!!
You're right about Jeff Lynne. One thing that I've noticed on the songs I've watched at this venue I have yet to see anyone say anything other than praise for this man and his amazing talent.
ELO saw them in concert and Blue oyster cult ELO rocked the house greatest concert I seen in a long time awesome light show I went out got the CD Jeff Lynn is a awesome singer... .
Wow! This is top quality. Fair play to Jeff and the band. Sounds as fresh as it was when I bought it all those years ago - and on every track. Brilliant, 10/10.
As far as I'm aware of, this was recorded on either September 9 or 10, 2001. The terror attack on September 11,2001 put an effective stop to the ELO tour. Anyway, a marvellous concert filled with amazing songs performed by one of the finest pop rock band ever!
The Electric Light Orchestra (and especially Jeff Lynne) were so so ahead of their time! Classic! We'll never see or hear anything like them again. Thank you for a wonderful upload!!
I remember as a 13 year old being fascinated by this song back in about 1978, and I couldn't figure out why at the time. It was nothing like any of the rest of the music I listened to. I remember waiting next to my stereo with a blank eight track in, waiting to hear this song begin so I could hit the record button. I recorded it and listened to it over and over.
this guy is amazing! after all those years he could still sound so spot on. On top of that, this guy has a great supporting cast around him, everything was just so well done and executed
The bridge at 2:21 is just genius. It's so smooth you don't even know it's a bridge. Maybe it's not. Whatever it is it's f*ing brilliant. ELO was one of a kind. There will never be another.
People, there is some incredible talent involved here. This is the first time I've ever heard them live and it's blowing my mind that they are able to reproduce the sound that was first created in a recording studio! Incredible!!!
You know when you get the "chills" its great music. Where is that feeling in todays music you ask , it's because it's not really from the heart. ELO rocks!!!!
Sailin' away on the crest of a wave, it's like magic Oh, rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and slidin', it's magic And you and your sweet desire You took me, oh (higher and higher, baby) It's a livin' thing It's a terrible thing to lose It's a givin' thing What a terrible thing to lose I'm takin' a dive Dive Makin' believe this is what you've conceived From your worst day (I'm takin' a dive) Oh, movin' in line, then you look back in time To the first day (I'm takin', I'm takin') And you and your sweet desire (don't you do it, don't you do it) You took me, oh (higher and higher, baby) It's a livin' thing It's a terrible thing to lose It's a givin' thing What a terrible thing to lose I'm takin' a dive All the same Hey Takin' a dive, 'cause you can't halt the slide Floating downstream (I'm takin' a dive) Oh, so let her go, don't start spoiling the show It's a bad dream (I'm takin', I'm takin') And you and your sweet desire (don't you do it, don't you do it) You took me, oh (higher and higher, baby) It's a livin' thing It's a terrible thing to lose It's a givin' thing What a terrible thing to lose It's a livin' thing It's a terrible thing to lose It's a givin' thing
das war ein Riesen Hit einfach Weltklasse, ich liebe die Stimme von ELO unerreichbar. Es gab so viele große Hits von dieser Gruppe. Das waren noch geile Zeiten, da hängen noch wahre Erinnerungen dran. Danke ELO
E.L.O. brings back interesting memories when I was leaving my youth and entering young adulthood. just kept me positive and accepting of change. still does...always will.
This song touches me. In high school the concert band had the sheet music for ELO's 'Livin' Thing' I have played the trumpet arrangement, that has been 30 years ago. Our band director, and some of my school/band mates have since passed away, and it's a terrible loss.
Paddled out before dawn @ Anclote. No surf, but the sunrise was spectacular! "Sailin' away on the crest of a wave, it's like magic." Indeed! This song popped into my mind.
Such a wonderful dispay of human nature! Oh and the Golden Ratio playing in the back ground setting the standard of Beauty! The Divine Proportion that is in all life! Truley is a Livin thing! 'magic'
this song is ELO (even though this is not as good as original group) ..... gives me goosebumps ..... for some reason. might have something to do with the echoing. just one helluva song ..... jeff's voice is still in great shape.
@sockington1 You know, back in 1981 during an interview, Bev Bevan, ELO's drummer, made a remarkably good point. He was asked what he thought of this new wave of music. He stated with complete honesty, it was all 'a load of rubbish' I could not agree more with both his and your statement!
Isn't It So EXCELLENT!..Isn't She The Secret behind the Music as The Electric Light Orchastra-lovely!.....wouldn't it be tragic to haveta judge over the acts of other women...I Hate It and I LOVE..ELO!
@45rpmSINGLES - Jeff Lynne wrote these songs, they are his songs, he was the ELO songwriter and vocalist. The band may have different members now, but the songs are his no matter who is playing the instruments. I was trying to say that as they had such an orchestral and multi-layered sound, their sound would be harder than most to reproduce that sound live. These days though, you can have a whole orchestra being played on a keyboard, so I was wrong to put that above.
Rosie is the most elegant back-up singer ever!
& Pretty
Gee, I wonder why.
Jeff Lynne is certainly one of the most under-rated musicians on this planet.
HUH! What solar system did you come from?
Jeff lynne is a genius ,when it comes to putting musical instruments together.
Been listening to it since 1977 . Jeff Lynne only gets better. !
Wow...what a great combination...Rosie, Jeff, the Cello babes...and Mr. 'Flatcap' guitarist all in super sync..!! Love it!! And the drummer hangs it all together!!
There was nobody like ELO. And those original studio recordings were the very essence of perfection & "time."
E.L.O. was a fine group with a unique sound of their own. Their recordings of "Evil Woman" and "Livin Thing" are just outstanding!...Good stuff!
Who's listening in 2019? ELO is the best!! Been listening since the 70s.
When i start listening to them, usually i'm going late to bed...
Master Jeff
@@edouardwillemin Hi Edouard, it's 4 30 am and I've no intention of going to bed yet. I get it.
@@edouardwillemin Yes so many late nights, early mornings 😊
Was listening in 1970 and will be in 4770.

If you only knew 12 years ago what you were saying...... it's 2023 and they're still touring, brilliant! :)
NO HAY OTRA ORQUESTA MEJOR QUE ESTA INIGUALABLE SUS CANCIONES ME LLEGAN AL FONDO DE MI SER

Heck those cellos are amazing... Heck everything that Jeff Lynne creates is amazing. Bless you Jeff.
Incredible song that came at a period of my life where it was fully applicable
BEAUTIFUL MUSIC, MAGIC, FOREVER. Esta musica la llevare siempre en el corazon, la de esa epoca hermosa.
Jeff Lynne has that voice that you recognize as soon as you hear it. Different yet amazing!! Love this!!
I was 18 when I was listening to ELO love the memories 😎
ROCK UNIVERSAL PARA TODOS LOS TIEMPOS. JEFF UN GENIO!!!!
this guy is amazing! after all those years he could still sound so spot on.
On top of that, this guy has a great supporting cast around him, everything was just so well done and executed
love this song so much.its a real classic.jeff lynn ........the best ever.
The bridge at 2:21 is just genius. It's so smooth you don't even know it's a bridge. Maybe it's not. Whatever it is it's f*ing brilliant. ELO was one of a kind. There will never be another.
ELO is a great group of musicians; Jeff Lynne is an espetacular singer; Livin' Thing is the best hit of them.
People, there is some incredible talent involved here. This is the first time I've ever heard them live and it's blowing my mind that they are able to reproduce the sound that was first created in a recording studio! Incredible!!!
I graduated from high school in 1975. So this was the music of my young adulthood. I loved E.L.O..
What a fantastic combination of musical instruments and the musical piece is pure art!
You know when you get the "chills" its great music. Where is that feeling in todays music you ask , it's because it's not really from the heart. ELO rocks!!!!
Sailin' away on the crest of a wave, it's like magic
Oh, rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and slidin', it's magic
And you and your sweet desire
You took me, oh (higher and higher, baby)
It's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a givin' thing
What a terrible thing to lose
I'm takin' a dive
Dive
Makin' believe this is what you've conceived
From your worst day (I'm takin' a dive)
Oh, movin' in line, then you look back in time
To the first day (I'm takin', I'm takin')
And you and your sweet desire (don't you do it, don't you do it)
You took me, oh (higher and higher, baby)
It's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a givin' thing
What a terrible thing to lose
I'm takin' a dive
All the same
Hey
Takin' a dive, 'cause you can't halt the slide
Floating downstream (I'm takin' a dive)
Oh, so let her go, don't start spoiling the show
It's a bad dream (I'm takin', I'm takin')
And you and your sweet desire (don't you do it, don't you do it)
You took me, oh (higher and higher, baby)
It's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a givin' thing
What a terrible thing to lose
It's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a givin' thing
I remember when I bought my first ELO album. Just blown away, Lynn and Bev Bevan. Excellent!
das war ein Riesen Hit einfach Weltklasse, ich liebe die Stimme von ELO unerreichbar. Es gab so viele große Hits von dieser Gruppe. Das waren noch geile Zeiten, da hängen noch wahre Erinnerungen dran. Danke ELO
Jeff Lynne can still sing, good job boys and girls, thoroughly enjoyed this performance.
A great song. It brings back some terrific memories.
E.L.O. brings back interesting memories when I was leaving my youth and entering young adulthood. just kept me positive and accepting of change. still does...always will.
ELO. One word. Amazing !!!!!
ELO, Джефф Линн - это бесконечное потрясение и блаженство восприятия, все воспринимается как , истина и талант априори!!! Невозможно прекрасно!!!!!
This song touches me. In high school the concert band had the sheet music for ELO's 'Livin' Thing' I have played the trumpet arrangement, that has been 30 years ago. Our band director, and some of my school/band mates have since passed away, and it's a terrible loss.
Electric Light Orchestra is the definition of happiness.
my all time favorite...i adore e l o...i grew up to their music as did my kids..now another generation loves them
one of the best bands of all time!! absolutely brilliant - ELO !!
The epitome of the 70s and 45 years later this song is as good as it gets
Volkswagen brought me here. I'm so glad! What a song!
Anthony Turner me too😁
Im 27 and love this song. Amazing,Ive been blasting this song all day.....Im taking...A dive.
I started listening to ELO back when I was a child.........they are my favorite of all time band...
Paddled out before dawn @ Anclote. No surf, but the sunrise was spectacular! "Sailin' away on the crest of a wave, it's like magic." Indeed! This song popped into my mind.
This song is MAGIC. One of my all time favorites from any band! Thanks for the quality upload.
Jeff Lynne is a genius. Lovely to see Greg Bissonette on the kit, too.
Great Song & Lyrics, always liked & played this. Just awesome, what timing as this is Cool!
feliitaciones, excelente sonido y por supuesto inmejorable interpretación de ELO.
Saw ELO at univ of Miami in 1975---- both cellists had a red and white cello-- blew me away ...
Can't say enough about Jeff Lynne & ELO love them !
Livin Thing is top shelf ELO!
Did, do and will always will have a huge crush on Jeff Lynne. Beautiful man, beautiful music.
Great Song, Great Band. I have always thought that if the Beatles had stayed together through the 70's they would have had a similar sound
I've thought that to.. Especially after listening to ELO with headphones on-
This song makes me happy
manok750i Me too! 🙏
it makes me happy too
I first heard this in the mid seventies along with all their other hits and a great live band
Fajny utwór...Dziękuję
Such a wonderful dispay of human nature! Oh and the Golden Ratio playing in the back ground setting the standard of Beauty! The Divine Proportion that is in all life!
Truley is a Livin thing! 'magic'
AMO ESTA CANCIÓN!!! DESDE SIEMPRE.
Love this song....love Jeff....I so wish he'd come tour the states..
Great supportive comments, so much love, they were really magic!

I'm a sucker for the classics, and Jeff Lynn is super talented! Miss you all!

Bons tempos, que nunca mais voltarão.....😢😢😢😢

The cello players are really pretty.
ELO is a great band.
Damn they sound good and this is a hard song to do live...they sound amazing esp so many years later.
EN RE ALIDAD SOY LA MAMA DE JOAN ESTOY USANDO SU CORREO Y REPITO ESTA ORQUESTA ES DE LO MEJOR QUE HAY
Qué música hizo este personaje! Hace 30 años que estaba en college y me gustaba tanto como me gusta ahora! Y con Rosie Vela en vivo me gusta más!
Jeff Lynne singular espectacular y con una sencillez unica un genio como pocos
In a time were artist took time to perfect their craft such a wonderful sound live
Thanks a lot for sharing this video with us!!!
Thanks from Brasil,
Gilberto,
this song is ELO (even though this is not as good as original group) ..... gives me goosebumps ..... for some reason. might have something to do with the echoing. just one helluva song ..... jeff's voice is still in great shape.
Love this old tune!!!
theyr 1 of the best vocal and instamental band
GENIUS! Abso-fucking-lutely GENIUS!
Very sad ELO is reduced to this. But for us true ELO heads we will continue to cling to whatever shred of ELO we can find, including this.
Pure genius!
That Blonce singer is Stunning! The 2 Cello players ain't too shabby either!
Me muero que linda cancion!! muchas gracias :DDD
Hey Jeff, your my age, old, but your great, make me feel young , thanks.
just one of many of my ELO favorites
AWESOME VIDEO...one of the best Ive ever seen... karen

ELO robí fantastickú hudbu!
Jeff genius Lynne. Tank you. I am Brasil.
John Lennon once said if the Beatles had stayed together they would have become ELO. High honors indeed!
Marivillosa cancion
My first ELO-awareness on pirate station Radio Caroline!
It's M-A-A-A-A-G-I-C!!! Thx for posting.
She is gorgeous full stop
Recently, I got back into ELO. They were a GIVEN THING back in the day.
Yes Rosie sure lights the stage.
An angel in disguise.
@sockington1 You know, back in 1981 during an interview, Bev Bevan, ELO's drummer, made a remarkably good point. He was asked what he thought of this new wave of music. He stated with complete honesty, it was all 'a load of rubbish' I could not agree more with both his and your statement!
at 1:13 mins. the lead guitar player does the cello part with a guitar Synth. cool. (i ve never seen this in a "Orchestra")
Good news: I'm going to see him live for the first time in Aug.
Bad news: It's not until Aug.!!!
best. live. performance. ever.
very good but not even close
Anonymous Mystery not my personal favorite but definitely in the top 10
JEFF LYNNE ELO EQUALS THE BAND! THAT IS ETERNAL!
IT'S ALL GOOD IN LIFE!!
ROSANGELA D'ORO

This song sticks in my head.
