Their Catalog is Priceless, Jeff wrote, produced arrainged, for ELO, But his work for John Lennon, Tom Petty, George Harrison, Roy Orbison & countless others is unmatched by others. Its unbelievable, the man plays at least 12 instruments, He is the definition of Music.🎶🎵🎶🥰
Jamie, I don't know how old group your in but that's why there always playing 60, 70 & 80's music.. Because that's when bands were bands and there are no others.. Check out afew 50's bands thats how it all got started..
"Do Ya" is a song written by Jeff Lynne, that was originally recorded by The Move, which became a hit for the Electric Light Orchestra (led by Lynne, ELO originally being a side project of The Move) in 1977. (Wikipedia)
Do ya was the bside to the uk hit California man in 1972 by THE MOVE, in the USA it’s better known as a song preformed by cheap trick who are big fans of everything Roy wood Jeff Lynne move elo related ,
Amber, as someone who was raised on a small farm, ELO’s “Fire On High” was one of the few songs that made me feel when I was riding one of my horses. It’s mainly an instrumental, but supporting the instrumental is a choir singing just a few words, as well as a bit of a surprise. Try to check it out at some point. 🖤
Just as an aside Agresticumbra,if Fire On High made you feel like the times that you were riding one of your horses,then those riding experiences must have been pretty special. I really like your analogy.
Fire on High set a standard for me that few bands have been able to surpass or meet. Sometimes Metallica, Muse, and Nightwish have managed it, but few bands do.
I was at the concert in The Bingley Hall in Stafford UK (in the area Jeff came from) for the Out of the Blue album tour 1977 and they ended with Roll Over Beethoven. It was Amazing. It was the first time I'd seen lasers which were new then. The whole place was rocking, lasers everywhere. It was wild. One of the best concerts I'd ever seen.
ELO is the one of the best bands of the 70's and 80'. Their Beatlesish sound is incredible. John Lennon once called them "sons of The Beatles".They masterfully incorporated classical instruments into their music. Lead singer/songwriter Jeff Lynne is an absolute musical genius. "Living Thing", " Telephone Line", "Shine A Little Love", Evil Woman", Turn To Stone" are a few of their greatest hits.
Shortly before he was shot, Lennon said on an interview that his two favorite recent songs were "All Over The World" by ELO and "Magic" by Olivia Newton-John (both from the "Xanadu" movie soundtrack).
@@TheLonMead Jay & Amber need to check out the movie Xanadu ... amazing soundtrack, Olivia Newton John, Gene Kelly ( an amazing dancer since the 1940's ) several other familiar faces before they were famous
"Do Ya" was on ELO's "New World Record" album and was released in 1976. I had the Album and 8-track tape. The whole album is a GEM with "Telephone Line" "So FIne" "Livin' Thing" "Tightrope" and "Rockaria" plus "Shangri-La" which would be your favorite if heard.
I think it's a little sad that Richard shuns the limelight, although I do understand him in that wish, but his talent deserves much greater recognition than he gets. One-off the great rock pianists, moogists and arranger.
@@acd1202as do the contributions of drummer Bev Bevan and bassist, vocalist, backing vocalist Kelly Groucutt Contrary to popular belief ELO was not a one man band that would happen later on the last couple of albums and the true die hard ELO fans no what I'm talking y

Elo is awesome in concert. Their music is so unique that they deserve their own genre. As soon as you hear an ELO song, you know it is ELO !! Keep those ELO reactions coming and if they ever tour again, they are must see !!,
Their eight-minute masterpiece cover of Chuck Berry's "Roll Over Beethoven" is your next ELO song. One personal favorite I'd love to see you react to is "Rockaria"--a merge of opera and rock.
I knew some ELO songs prior to A New World Record, but Rockaria! was the song that made me go "Who is THAT???" and made me a fan. Still one of my all-time ELO faves.
I love ELO!! I have every song in my playlist. I've been listening to them since the 70s. For me, they're one of the bests. It warms my heart that y'all love their sound.
Rob Squad In The 70s A great band called Hamilton Joe Frank and Reynolds And there Dont pull your love on me baby ,, Its a love song thats pure 70s EAR CANDY ,,, They would be a a great band for you to check into ,, Take care
Many commenters have already mentioned some very good suggestions. I'd like to add "Rockaria!" Yes, like the title implies: mixed with their unique Rock sound, you have a symphony sound & opera too. I think you both will enjoy it.
My absolute favorite song from them! I was once in the ladie's room on vacation, heard the band play the opening chords and could not get out fast enough to get out on the dance floor, LOL!! 😃
ELO is just an amazing group with Jeff Lynne as the leader of the group is just epic. When I grew up listening to this amazing group they just make you feel like a strong person. Listening to this brings back so memories of when I was growing up. It was just a great time to grow up and listening to so many awesome groups and music. Thank you for sharing the memories
Great tune. Originally performed by ELO's predecessor group, The Move, and Jeff Lynne resurrected it a few years later for ELO. The strings suit it well. You should check out "I Can Hear The Grass Grow" by The Move. Also "Fire Brigade." Great British psychedelia.
The Move had a lot of future ELO stars in.it such as co-founder legendary Roy Wood and drummer Bev Bevan. The Move had great songs never reacyed to such as Flowers in.the Rain, Blackberry Way, Fire Brigade and Curly.
The Move version on the'' Looking On'' album..has a little more edge to it. The ''Looking On'' album by The Move is a forgotten gem with strange guitar tuning etc..
I love all The Move's stuff, but I really dig the Jeff Lynne albums. I might prefer their version of Do Ya just cuz I like the Lynne/Wood interplay. They were a great writing combo. And I'll double what Mark says regarding Looking On. Sooper-dope record, I especially love the title cut.
I was there! I was there in the 60's, the 70's, and the 80's! I am SO BLESSED to have experienced the magic, the talent, the creativity, and the soul of the music from those eras! I'm also glad that you younger people can now experience and appreciate that, as well! Thank you for reacting to all of these!
ELO had been playing this song in concert for years and finally recorded it. In the meantime Todd Rungren's band Utopia had also recorded it. When asked by a reporter how Jeff Lynn liked the original by Rungren, ELO recorded it again so everyone would know it was a Jeff Lynn original tune. Just a great song. ELO standard with great vocals and over the top instruments. Got to love it. And by standard I mean out of this world. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️ ❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦
ELO was mostly Jeff Lynne, Bev Bevan on drums, Richard Tandy on keys, and the amazing Kelly Groucutt on bass, possibly one of the best backup singers ever.
All right my babies..... Electric Light Orchestra??? Oh man and madam! This band was and or still is, most definitely a powerhouse! Case closed ‼️💯🔥😎👍🏼
I'm so proud to have lived through this ERA of Music..The 70's were and awesome time as a teen to grow up in...I would love to step right back in to these times.....🎵(Now that's what I call Music🎵)Thanks For playing this song( just one of there extensive list of hits 🎵🎤
"Do Ya" was originally released in 1972 by The Move, the previous group Jeff Lynne fronted. [Oops, mea culpa, did not front - just a member]. That version only reached #93 on the Billboard Hot 100. Then, in 1977, ELO recorded a new version of "Do Ya" and it peaked @ #24.
@@ffjsbSorry, I shouldn't have used the word "fronted." Lynne wrote the song and co-produced it but I guess he did not sing the lead vocal on The Move's version.
One of my favorite bands of all time. So many great songs from their music catalog. I had the pleasure to see them in concert in 1981 (yeah I know, I'm OLD)... I was 13 and it was my second concert. From what I can remember all those years ago, they put on a great show. You will never go wrong with ELO. Such a classic band and sound!!!!
Omg 🫣 im so happy you guys did this one! “Awesome!! TOTALLY AWESOME!” (Spicolli) lol. ELO Just takes me back to so many good memories. This band is in my top ten favorite bands of all time! Induces feelings that could not be replicated by any other band, ever. And so many others you need to experience from them. Legends. All I have to say. Love you both so much. 💙
I fell in love with this band when I heard this song called "Evil woman", then followed "telephone line", "living thing", "Do ya", "Thightrope"; then , when I discovered their previous albums one by one; their version of "Roll over Beethoven" , the entire EL DORADO-album," Fire on high", "Waterfall"... All solid songs and so I bought "out of the blue", their double-album, which included my all time favorite ELO-songs; "Mr Blue" and "Turn to stone"... A really exceptional band with exceptional music!
They do make you smile! And 3 babies! Keep passing on that smile! One of these days I would love to get all the fans we can send in their smiles for them to see daily a section of people who smile with them! Anyone good at doing that? Sounds like a Christmas plan? Haha let’s do it
It has been fun watching you two. Not only have you learned to enjoy all types of music but you have also learned to understand it. Listening to you intelligently dissect a song keeps me coming back. Keep on keepin' on.
This is another group I seen at a concert in Phx Az in 1975, that's all I did in my younger days went to concerts to see and hear the different bands play and sing, I'm so glad I did best time of my life.
Jeff Lynne (ELO-Traveling Wilburys-The Move-The Idle Race) has received almost all the awards imaginable: 2009: Golden Note Award from the ASCAP 2013: Songwriters Hall of Fame nominee for 2014 induction 2014: Star on the Birmingham Walk of Stars 2014: Honorary doctorate degree from Birmingham City University 2015: Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame 2015: Songwriters Hall of Fame nominee for 2016 induction 2016: In November 2016, Jeff Lynne's ELO won Band of the Year at the Classic Rock Roll of Honour Awards 2016: Songwriters Hall of Fame nominee for 2017 induction 2017: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee as a member of Electric Light Orchestra 2018: Songwriters Hall of Fame nominee for 2019 induction 2019: ASCAP Founders Award from the ASCAP 2020 Appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) 2023: Songwriters Hall of Fame induction ******Add 3 Ivor Novello Awards to the list and Grammys plus all the amazing awards he has had as one of the best producers ever in this world.
ELO, Yes, Moody Blues, Santana, ABBA and a few more have the big band sound. They are bands of 5 or more members so more layers can be applied at the same time.
Love me some ELO and I have never heard this version before, weird. Has extra bars leading into the verses and choruses and DAMN they left out the "look out!" before the ending do ya do ya want my loves
This version appeared on the "Flashback" box set. Jeff Lynne wrote he was glad he came across this version because he thought it was better than what they ultimately went with on "A New World Record." I don't agree with him, but hey, it's not my song.
I will give you 2 of my favorite ELO songs I was Backstage at the LA forum for ELO 5 years ago great concert! The Diary of Horace wimp and midnight blue are my 2 favorites also turn to stone
If y'all want to hear ELO GO-IN OFF, check out their song Fire On High. It is one hell of a ride! Also, Ace Frehley (original guitarist for KISS) does an awesome cover of Do Ya on his Trouble Walkin CD.
For an interesting contrast, you should listen to the original version of this song, by The Move- the band the lead singer and drummer were in before ELO. That version has no strings and is just guitar, bass, and drums. It’s got a more raw rock feel to it (and lots of cowbell). And the last verse is sung by the amazing Roy Wood (the Move’s guitarist/multi-instrumentalist, co-lead vocalist and songwriter, who could play tons of different instruments and was a founding member of ELO- he was only on their first album and played all the strings on it, except violin, plus all the guitars and a bunch of reed and woodwind instruments.
'A New World Record' followed by 'Out of the Blue' is ELO at both their most creative and radio friendly. ( I was 18-19 years old for these events ). terrific memories.
The name of the song is Do Ya (not Don't Ya). It was written by Jeff Lynne and recorded by his former band The Move. Jeff resurrected it for E.L.O.'s great album A New World Record. It was later covered by Ace Frehley of Kiss. Speaking of The Move, check out their version of California Man and also the Cheap Trick cover version!!
One of my favorite group of all time. Nothing like cruising in the 70's, and 80's with ELO blaring from the radio. Jeff's voice is one of a kind, and brilliant. Electric Light Orchestra. He used a small orchestra in his band which sounded so good.
Both George Harrison's "I've Got My Mind Set On You" and Roy Orbison's "You Got It" were produced, arranged, and had backing vocals from Jeff Lynne himself. So if you were wondering why they both sounded like ELO songs it's because. in a way, they both Were ELO songs. So you've heard more ELO than you realize.
Here's an ELO "deep track" that you guys will really appreciate. It's from the "Out of the Blue" album, "Jungle" is the name of the song. Tioraidh an-drasta 🏴
I really wanted to hear that break into "Shangri-La" and keep going. "Do Ya" is off of their 6th album A New World Record (1976). An Incredible album for anyone's collection.
E.L.O. Collaborated with Olivia Newton John on the film Xanadu. You guys should watch that film, it’s definitely a trip! “Magic” was a super popular song from the soundtrack.
Magic isn't ELO, though. The only song on that soundtrack that was both ELO and ONJ is the title track, Xanadu. Magic was written and produced by ONJ's songwriter/producer, John Farrar. One side was all ONJ/Farrar, and the other side was all ELO, with the exception of Xanadu, which was ELO/ONJ.
My dogos love ELO, could be because I love them, and sing out loud! They were asleep in the other room, and I forgot. OMG, cracked ribs! 😜 😜 😜 😜 😜 they love music!
My favourite band and one of the best ever. Shangri-La isn’t as well know but an amazing track from their New World Record album. More ELO reactions would be great.
😂. I don't think I have seen anyone get as excited about "cowbell" as Jordon does. I love it! Really like how the guitar strings sing in this number. Awesome cover of The Move's original.
Jeff is a musical genius. You have no idea how badass this was back in my high school days! The Beatles influence is obvious, but he took it to another level.
Jeff Lynne is absolutely one of the best songwriters of the rock era. This song has INCREDIBLE structure to it -- so many different ingredients tied together perfectly -- which you guys picked up on.
Their Catalog is Priceless, Jeff wrote, produced arrainged, for ELO, But his work for John Lennon, Tom Petty, George Harrison, Roy Orbison & countless others is unmatched by others. Its unbelievable, the man plays at least 12 instruments, He is the definition of Music.🎶🎵🎶🥰
He is a musical GENIUS!!!
And the Beatles
I actually forgot about that. But I know I heard about that.
SO FINE...From "A New World Record," is a request. And Ma Ma Belle from "On the Third Day"..Fun Tunes..🥳
@David Bradley Correct. He, as I'm sure you're aware, worked with two demos of John's though, the same two that became "new" Beatles songs in 95/96.
What I love about bands like ELO is that there is no bands like ELO. It stands alone.

The most underrated band ever.
quite right. the talent!!!
All the best bands today obviously were influenced by bands like ELO, Moody Blues, Metallica, and Pink Floyd
they stand ELOne ;-)
ELO picked up the torch when the BEATLES put it down. In fact, John Lennon was quoted as saying "ELO are the Son's of the Beatles".
Jeff Lynne is a next level musical genius, from The Move to Wilburies everything he touched was made better. ✌️
What about his work with the Idle Race from 1966 to 1969?
J & Amber, you'll love their "Livin' Thing" !!!

Richard Tandy on keyboards created so many sound for ELO, including the "angels singing." He is a phenomenal arranging partner for Jeff Lynne.
Richard definitely is a musical genius in his own right. He is so shy that he was always content to stay in the background
I think it's a little sad that Richard shuns the limelight, although I do understand him in that wish, but his talent deserves much greater recognition than he gets. One-off the great rock pianists, moogists and arranger.

ELO Just takes me back to so many good memories. This band is in my top ten favorite bands of all time!
Induces feelings that could not be replicated by any other band, ever.
And so many others you need to experience from them. Legends. All I have to say.
Love you both so much. 💙
I fell in love with this band when I heard this song called "Evil woman", then followed "telephone line", "living thing", "Do ya", "Thightrope"; then , when I discovered their previous albums one by one; their version of "Roll over Beethoven" , the entire EL DORADO-album," Fire on high", "Waterfall"... All solid songs and so I bought "out of the blue", their double-album, which included my all time favorite ELO-songs;
"Mr Blue" and "Turn to stone"... A really exceptional band with exceptional music!
You should see ELO in concert. They are fantastic live! Thank ya'll
Great reaction! And great memory! Thanks for keeping great music alive! Smiling!
They do make you smile! And 3 babies! Keep passing on that smile! One of these days I would love to get all the fans we can send in their smiles for them to see daily a section of people who smile with them! Anyone good at doing that? Sounds like a Christmas plan? Haha let’s do it
“Can’t get it out of my my head” is one you guys will enjoy
Love ELO!!! Don't forget, Mr Big another ballad Just take my heart. Collective Soul, Newbies Level 42 and Jason Mraz 😁😁❤️
ELO is an amazing band!! Love them!!🌞👏💜💜💜🌞🌹
What can you say about Jeff Lynn expect Genius. His creative mind is why so many other artists have him produce their music.
Absolutely love their sound, Like magic...So fun, Thanx so much for reaction, Peace
The secret to ELO is their melding of the classical touches into Rock and Roll.
Great reaction guys. Gotta love that classic rock!!!!! ELO was one of a kind back in the day 👍🏻
It has been fun watching you two. Not only have you learned to enjoy all types of music but you have also learned to understand it. Listening to you intelligently dissect a song keeps me coming back. Keep on keepin' on.
Fantastic song!! Jeff's vocals along with Kelly Groucutt's awesome harmony vocals really add something to this song!!
Ace Frehley, the guitarist from KISS does a great job of this.
I immediately thought of this, since J is wearing a KISS shirt!
This is another group I seen at a concert in Phx Az in 1975, that's all I did in my younger days went to concerts to see and hear the different bands play and sing, I'm so glad I did best time of my life.
This why I watch this channel. To see someone react to the music that I grow up with and appreciate it
Have always loved ELO. Always a pleasure to hear them again.
with ELO, and Jeff Lynn, it's all about song arrangement then production/performance... always so Beatle-esk ...thumbs up for reaction and love!
This is one of those turn up till the speakers explode!

Jeff Lynne recorded an earlier version of this song with his band The Move.
ELO, Yes, Moody Blues, Santana, ABBA and a few more have the big band sound. They are bands of 5 or more members so more layers can be applied at the same time.
"Sweet Talkin Woman" my personal favorite ELO song
Their best song. Driving, pounding, blasting, and just crushing it. As much urgency in this song as musicians can muster. Lynn is a genius.
Love me some ELO and I have never heard this version before, weird. Has extra bars leading into the verses and choruses and DAMN they left out the "look out!" before the ending do ya do ya want my loves
I have listened to ELO and this song since I was a kid back in the 70's, and I have never heard this version either.
This version appeared on the "Flashback" box set. Jeff Lynne wrote he was glad he came across this version because he thought it was better than what they ultimately went with on "A New World Record." I don't agree with him, but hey, it's not my song.
E.L.O. was one of my big sister's jams! Of course I was raised on this and all the great, diverse 70's music!
I will give you 2 of my favorite ELO songs I was Backstage at the LA forum for ELO 5 years ago great concert! The Diary of Horace wimp and midnight blue are my 2 favorites also turn to stone
Wow what an experience!
If y'all want to hear ELO GO-IN OFF, check out their song Fire On High. It is one hell of a ride!
Also, Ace Frehley (original guitarist for KISS) does an awesome cover of Do Ya on his Trouble Walkin CD.
I love how joyful Amber was listening to the song. It really is a fun one.
For an interesting contrast, you should listen to the original version of this song, by The Move- the band the lead singer and drummer were in before ELO. That version has no strings and is just guitar, bass, and drums. It’s got a more raw rock feel to it (and lots of cowbell). And the last verse is sung by the amazing Roy Wood (the Move’s guitarist/multi-instrumentalist, co-lead vocalist and songwriter, who could play tons of different instruments and was a founding member of ELO- he was only on their first album and played all the strings on it, except violin, plus all the guitars and a bunch of reed and woodwind instruments.
I liked the Move version better because it was raw.
CAN'T GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD is my most favorite song of theirs. Just fabulous.
I haven't heard this version before. ELO is awesome!
'A New World Record' followed by 'Out of the Blue' is ELO at both their most creative and radio friendly. ( I was 18-19 years old for these events ). terrific memories.
The name of the song is Do Ya (not Don't Ya). It was written by Jeff Lynne and recorded by his former band The Move. Jeff resurrected it for E.L.O.'s great album A New World Record. It was later covered by Ace Frehley of Kiss. Speaking of The Move, check out their version of California Man and also the Cheap Trick cover version!!
love Cheap Trick's version of "California Man"!!
I thought it was Do Ya, even though you guys wrote Don't Ya!! Ace Frehley from KISS does a great cover of this.
ELO is amazing! Their sound is so unique. Jeff Lynne has a distinctive voice as well.
ELO is such an amazing band
One of my favorite group of all time. Nothing like cruising in the 70's, and 80's with ELO blaring from the radio. Jeff's voice is one of a kind, and brilliant. Electric Light Orchestra. He used a small orchestra in his band which sounded so good.
Both George Harrison's "I've Got My Mind Set On You" and Roy Orbison's "You Got It" were produced, arranged, and had backing vocals from Jeff Lynne himself. So if you were wondering why they both sounded like ELO songs it's because. in a way, they both Were ELO songs. So you've heard more ELO than you realize.
This song reminds me of my first love.... such sweet memories..
Here's an ELO "deep track" that you guys will really appreciate. It's from the "Out of the Blue" album, "Jungle" is the name of the song.
Tioraidh an-drasta 🏴
FINALLY...someone reacted to this song...I love it!
You really need to hear ELO's full 8+ minute version of Roll Over Beethoven.Its amazing.
I really wanted to hear that break into "Shangri-La" and keep going. "Do Ya" is off of their 6th album A New World Record (1976). An Incredible album for anyone's collection.
ELO=ICONIC!! nuff said 👍😃👍
E.L.O. Collaborated with Olivia Newton John on the film Xanadu. You guys should watch that film, it’s definitely a trip! “Magic” was a super popular song from the soundtrack.
Magic isn't ELO, though. The only song on that soundtrack that was both ELO and ONJ is the title track, Xanadu. Magic was written and produced by ONJ's songwriter/producer, John Farrar. One side was all ONJ/Farrar, and the other side was all ELO, with the exception of Xanadu, which was ELO/ONJ.
Also check out ELO playing the music in the background of Olivia Newton John - Xanadu
“Do Ya,” which was originally released in 1971 as a single by the band’s predecessor, The Move.
Do Ya was written by Jeff Lynne (ELO- The Move- The Traveling Wilburys and the Idle Race) with his previous band The Move like you said. He
I saw Jeff Lynne’s ELO at the L.A. Forum in 2018. Best concert I’ve ever been to.
My dogos love ELO, could be because I love them, and sing out loud! They were asleep in the other room, and I forgot. OMG, cracked ribs! 😜 😜 😜 😜 😜 they love music!
This is my favorite ELO song!
My favourite band and one of the best ever. Shangri-La isn’t as well know but an amazing track from their New World Record album. More ELO reactions would be great.
Appreciated this reaction! I'm a big ELO fan. I also recommend Rockaria, Sweet Talkin Woman, Turn to Stone and Livin Thing.
😂. I don't think I have seen anyone get as excited about "cowbell" as Jordon does. I love it!
Really like how the guitar strings sing in this number. Awesome cover of The Move's original.
Jeff is a musical genius. You have no idea how badass this was back in my high school days! The Beatles influence is obvious, but he took it to another level.
One of my favorites from #ELO, great reaction!
You're ready for some early ELO. "Showdown" is an amazing song, maybe one of their best!!!
Kelly Groucutt sings a lot of the backing vocals on this track. He had an amazing voice. ❤️
Jeff Lynne is absolutely one of the best songwriters of the rock era. This song has INCREDIBLE structure to it -- so many different ingredients tied together perfectly -- which you guys picked up on.
Yes, Livin' Thing, is definitely a must. 🤗🤗🤗
