"Do all their live performances sound like this?" Answer: There's a reason why the Beatles trusted only Jeff Lynne to produce "the Anthology" with them ...
They ALL sounded like this! I saw them at The Super Drum (dunno if it’s still called this) in Austin Texas in the early 1980s laser light show and all and it was spectacular!!! An amazing band!! I think my favorite band over all.
Jamel: Do all their live performances sound like this? In a word, yes... yes they do. ELO has some of the best live sound of any act. Jeff Lynne also tries to keep the song arrangements as close as possible to the studio recordings. And yes, this is a lyrically brutal song... much in the same sentiment as Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone". Last word-- do "Last Train to London"!!!!! It's one of ELO's disco throwback tunes! czcams.com/video/LudbFg0G-l4/video.html
I remember a big draw card to their concerts was the spectacular light shows synced to their music. They were one of the first bands to do this. Hence electric light orchestra.
@ADAMYOUNG IT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES !!! ***LIVING THING*** !!! YES !!! HE HAS TO LISTEN TO THAT ONE !!!! ALL OF THE LIVE PERFORMACES WERE GREAT !!! HE IS A ***PROFESSIONAL*** IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY HE HELPED MANY ON THEIR ALBUMS ONE OF THE BEST OF OUR GENERATION !!! I'M 66 AND YES I'M OLD BUT I HAD THE BEST OF EVERYTHING LIFE HAD TO OFFER !!!
I was so young but I am glad I was there for the 70s music. So much talent and I love the bands that had full on instruments baking them. And the hair and clothes! Haha. Just the best. ELO. Classic. Love it. I appreciate you Jamel
I just commented on a video from yesterday about this. Apparently, the theme song is Jeff Lynne's favorite song he wrote. I don't think the movie is especially good but it is a trip.
@@scottferrell2806 It's not a terrible movie, just not very good, and she actually has some nice scenes in it, in my opinion. It supposedly inspired the creation of the Razzie awards though.
Adam Porter Yeah, I have to admit, she was a much better singer than an actress while she was still working.The only reason I ever really watched the movie was because of her. Oh and Michael Beck from Warriors fame.
One of my favourite things to do now is watch you listen to the great music I grew up on , I love your reactions , keep em comin lots more great music to go
After you have listened to ELO and realize you are listening to songs from the seventy's and how talented they are. What can todays music show us ? to match them. Regards Ray Williams
How about "Can't get it out of my head" by ELO. You might also want to check out The Traveling Wilbury's, a super group that included Jeff Lynne from ELO.
Traveling Wilburys - a group of some renowned. George Harrison (Beatles) Jeff Lynne (ELO) Tom Petty (Heartbreakers) Bob Dylan (enough said) Roy Orbison (enough sung. 5 octave range voice, and 22 Top 40 hits)
I hear it when I go to the grocery store in my smallish town in Texas. And I LOVE IT. I almost bust out singing and dancing my cart down the aisle, LOL! ALL OVER THE WORLD, TWILIGHT...MORE TO GO! And this is newer ELO and yes, they're still performing with Jeff as the only surviving member but the really important founding member of the group.
Lol, I always thought the lyrics were "medieval woman" and of course I invented all kinds of meaning to justify it. I guess I can still enjoy my unique interpretation. :")
@@chrisv966 Right? I have had this happen on lots of songs, and really, it's special most of the time and really fits. Much like poetry the mind fills in the blanks that make the most sense and meaning to the listener/reader. Speaking of poetry in lyrics, there are quite a few Led Zeppelin songs that I interpreted slightly differently, but it really worked.
There was a Stylistics song where I kept singing "...and with credit due, and love" my mom corrected me and said, they sang, "...and with gratitude..." LMAO
I had ELOs first 2 albums before anyone else in my little podunk hometown of 800 people of Marcola Oregon could spell the name of the band. This is truly classical Rock and Roll.
Played this on the jukebox, vinyl 45's, old school. Around the same time Bowie's song "Fame' was released. Two songs for a quarter, played 'em back to back. Flashback baby, flashback.
I do rush when when I see ELO And Jamel he doesn’t use much electronics which is great live When I saw them live in 2018 ( and 1978!) the sound was even better than this ,sounds as good as studio ,you can tell Jeff is a producer!
Cherry McGregor The lady is Rosie Vela , one of my best mates . She was one of the original Supermodels and has more Vogue Covers than Naomi and Tyra put together . In 1977 she made the cover of American Vogue I think 11 of the 12 months . She stopped modelling for Music and her Album Zazu is phenomenal , she also a fantastic Artist , She looks Great now still
Peter Martin I thought I recognised her ? When did she start singing with ELO . . Would she have been on the 1978 tour? ( looking at the dates I guess not as she would have been at the height of her modelling career )I know he always has extra singers on tours ( I guess your other remark re ringing her wasn’t to me? )
Yess the GLASSES!!, he always wears them, yes even if the concert is inside, he's done that for a long time, even since I first saw them perform on Midnight Special, and this right here may be that concert at Wembley stadium, that was aired on cable, they're so good, you hear them and you either sing along or dance, or both!!, you just can't help it, good writing, good rythm, like Steely Dan, they grew up during big band, and beebop era, so it translates in their music,..keep going, enjoy, Godspeed, Peace ✌
E.L.O, Jeff Lynn, is an excellent band, with a fantastic lead singer, writer, performer. PLEASE, PLEASE react to some Moody Blues!! Most especially, The Voice(at Red Rocks or the studio version) Question, Tuesday Afternoon(my all-time favorite M.B. song), The Story In Your Eyes, Isn't Life Strange, I Know You're Out There, one that you probably know "Nights In White Satin", or any Moody Blues song 🎵 Happy day to you, Jamel :) Y'know, I know it's odd, but I consider you a friend, in this world. A kindred spirit if you will. We have a lot of the same ideas about kindness, friendship, joy, and love for your fellow human being! We also have a lot of the same music taste and appreciation 😃
For many of my (younger) years, I thought he was singing "Medieval woman." Which makes no sense but is hysterical looking back on it. Edit: as for their live performances: Yes, they're fantastic. I have a Blu Ray of them in Hyde Park from 2014. It's fantastic fro m sound to visuals.
The girl was Jeff Lynn’s gf at the time. Famous model. Can’t remember her name. Drummer and bass player are brothers. Greg and Matt Bissonnette. They’ve played with many other famous artists.
At my local airport here ,they've been playing just the 80s over and over, for at least 1 year now .Even at our local H.E.B. grocery store ,theyve been playing oldies too and love,love ,love it !
Please please please do a react on the travelling wilburies 🙏 handle with care and end of the line, both deep and meaningful songs done by a group of absolute superstars 👌
Greetings from Norway! Thanks for doing all of these reaction-videoes, and finally you've reached E.L.O; it's basically the soundtrack of my life, been listening to them since 1978...and now i'm 51! Thank You...and Stay Safe!
Wow! I think I was there too! It was my very first concert and they were my favorite group at the time. It was at Municipal Auditorium and my older cousin, a friend of ours and myself were able to get in for about $4 apiece. Memorable teenage experience.
@@marcoaguilar2394 Yes it was at Municipal Auditorium. We were probably at the same concert 40+ years ago. It is a small world. It was a ten hour drive, and the closest they would be coming to where I lived, and remained that way until 2018.
@@maryE05 I hope you were able to see them again after that show in 1977. I was able to see them two more times at Kemper Arena in Kansas City. Great, great, memories! Still some of the best music of all time!
You probably already know this: In 1988, Jeff Lynne got together with Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, George Harrison, and Tom Petty to form "The Travelling Wilburys". They made some pretty good music together until Orbison's passing away. Great reaction!
ELO is one person,, Jeff Lynn,, writes all the music, produces it and is known for his incredible sound, on record and live, he was way ahead of the curve in the 70s one of the best ever
I thought it was adorable every time you said e Lo. Wow you really like ELO and you've got all of us very excited. I saw them in concert last year and they're even better than what you just witnessed. The best concert I have ever seen in my life and I've probably been to close to 200 concerts. Blew me away last year. So keep doing these brother.
Hi Jamel! "During the instrumental break in the song, when the synthesizer plays, right before the chorus starts up the second time, if you play it backwards, you can actually hear the synthesizer sound that plays in another song by the Electric Light Orchestra: "Nightrider." The line "There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in," was inspired by the Beatles song, "Fixing a Hole."
Sooooo glad you’re finally getting to experience some of the gloriousness of ELO. Love love love this band- thanks Mom for always playing ELO when I was growing up (even if she never saw the irony in singing this to her young daughter lol)
I always thought he was singing "he need a woman" till I saw the name of the song 🤣 Saw ELO in probably 1997-1998. They had an amazing lazer show. Don't remember anyone else doing that then. They're timeless!
I grew up listening to this great group ELO. In their day not many liked them. I always said that they were 30 years ahead of everyone else's music. It's great to see your generation now giving ELO the appreciation for their music that they truly deserved.
Jamel_AKA_Jamal I love watching your joy and excitement as you discover music that I have loved for years, but I love your heart more. It is my joy to discover your compassion and gentleness; if more men were like you, we would have a much kinder and safer world. Thank you for being you xx
Just a side note, Jeff Lynne is very close to The Beatles that at one time John Lennon called him the fifth Beatle. Talented singer and song writer and yes he still sounds this good. You saw him perform at the tribute for George Harrison, Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame where Prince stole the show. So much great music of the 70s. The former Beatles trusted Jeff Lynne so much that they asked him to produce the songs from the Beatles Anthology. There were master recordings of John Lennon. His wife Yoko gave them to the surviving Beatles. Songs like Free As Bird and Real Love were recorded and as a Beatle fan it was magic all over again hearing all there voices in harmony singing together again was the closest we could ask for. Check out the Beatles Anthology docu. It's a great story. A great history of Rock and Roll. Thank you for playing so many great songs. It's the music of my childhood, of my youth, it was a great time in my life.
You've got to react to at least one ELO live at Wembley 2017 just to see the size of the crowd and their reaction. Plus Jeff can still sing!! I suggest Turn to Stone to see the light show as well.
I think I have almost every album ELO made in the 1970's... I absolutely loved their music, for me, their music was such a huge chunk of my musical experience back then...listened to their songs almost every day back then, about wore my turntable out with their albums.
Yes Jamal, all Jeff's/ELO live shows sound this good.. he played at the AMA /Grammys a few years back and brought the house down... had McCartney and the like dancing and cheering him on
Hmmm...have to disagree. Bloom was off the rose by the time of Breakfast...all the albums leading up to that release I can get behind...B. In America...not so much
Yes they do sound this good live . . . even now in 2020. Jeff Lynne is a perfectionist and wants it perfect. I am both, your YOUR BIGGEST FAN as well as The biggest Electric Light Orchestra fan! This is the one I was waiting for! My favorite line from this song is @ 5;22 "You Made The Wine Now You Drink a cup" Also love Richard Tandy on the piano!
"Do all their live performances sound like this?"
Answer: There's a reason why the Beatles trusted only Jeff Lynne to produce "the Anthology" with them ...
Jeff doesn’t like to wear out his vocal chords
Their live performances are amazing when they have an orchestra
OOPS! I meant to write the thanks for you providing that info for that trivia regarding Lynne producing Beatles Anthology. I wrote it below😄! Thanks!
Jeff Lynne , the man who never ages or changes style. He's 72 and still sounds fantastic. And the Production is amazing. Elo's just amazing!
Is he really 72? Wow, I guess I didn’t realize. I was just a kid when this came out.
That’s so true! He never changes his style and still sounds amazing!
I was born in 1970, and have loved ELO since I heard them in 1978.
We’re the same age 👍 I think I learned of ELO in about 75 or 76, the older neighborhood kids played it all the time🤘
You know, I noticed that too, he doesn't age!!
Jamel: Do all their live performances sound like this? All of us: YES!!!
I got to see Jeff Lynne's ELO in July 2019 and it was INCREDIBLE
They ALL sounded like this! I saw them at The Super Drum (dunno if it’s still called this) in Austin Texas in the early 1980s laser light show and all and it was spectacular!!! An amazing band!! I think my favorite band over all.
✨🔥✨🔥✨
Exactly
Oh my god Wembley was actually the greatest live performance I’ve ever seen(I watched it on CZcams)
And Jeff Lynne wrote this amazing song in just 6 minutes in the 70s and still sounds as good today after all these years,Total genius
"Genius" is an understatement for Lynne. And I did not know he helped the Beatles with Anthology. Thanks for that musical trivia!
"Can't get it out of my Head" is another good one by them! Check it out!
Why has nobody reacted to LIVIN THING, It was like in their top 3 biggest hits. and is brilliant.
YES - FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE REACT TO LIVIN THING !!!
It’s a terrible thing to lose .
Do it next JAMAL!
Been nagging for 'All Over the Wirld' dance version for bloody months!!!
Yeah!! But I can’t limit my favorites of their’s to only 3...or limit it at all
Jeff Lynne sounds the same, looks the same, plays the same... as he did 30 years ago. The guy is timeless!
Ten Years After - I'm going Home - From Woodstock 1969
Blinded by the Light ~ Manfred Mann's Earth Band with lyrics
Songwriter(s): Bruce Springsteen
A definite “hell ya!” to Manfred Mann!
Arguably the GREATEST cover ever. Took a album filler song and made it a #1 single! Have to play both to understand the full impact.
Yea, Manfred Mann. I really enjoyed Angel Station.
"58, 56, 54, Good angels at my door.
63, 62, 61, 60, 59, 58, Good angels at my gate."
But it's gotta be the long version of Blinded By The Light, not the single cut.
@@michlkwitz I agree 100% the long version
Jamel: Do all their live performances sound like this?
In a word, yes... yes they do. ELO has some of the best live sound of any act. Jeff Lynne also tries to keep the song arrangements as close as possible to the studio recordings.
And yes, this is a lyrically brutal song... much in the same sentiment as Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone".
Last word-- do "Last Train to London"!!!!! It's one of ELO's disco throwback tunes! czcams.com/video/LudbFg0G-l4/video.html
Seen ELO back in the 70's in Toronto and you're totally right tartanphantom......the sound blew me away. Amazing live show!
"It's one of ELO's disco throwback tunes!" - That's why the album was called Discovery. Disco - Very (True).
Thanks for this link!
Great reaction man been listening to this music All my life & I’m only 25 god love my parents & grandmas taste in music!
I love my parents and grandparents taste of music
God bless your parents and grandma 👍😊
"Showdown" is another good one by E.L.O. It was used in the movie "Kingpin" although wasn't included in the soundtrack.
I remember a big draw card to their concerts was the spectacular light shows synced to their music. They were one of the first bands to do this. Hence electric light orchestra.
They were the first big band to use laser lights!!!!
Nailed it! E.L.O. lol Only Jeff can sing about an evil woman, and still have it be a "feel good" song 😄
Try out supertramp "breakfast in America "
Supertramp child of vision
School, Logical Song, Long Way Home, etc.
So many great songs by Supertramp.
Goodbye, Stranger
The stunningly beautiful woman is mesmerising Rosie Vela. You can guess I love her. Hope she is happy. X.
@ADAMYOUNG IT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES !!! ***LIVING THING*** !!! YES !!! HE HAS TO LISTEN TO THAT ONE !!!!
ALL OF THE LIVE PERFORMACES WERE GREAT !!!
HE IS A ***PROFESSIONAL*** IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY
HE HELPED MANY ON THEIR ALBUMS
ONE OF THE BEST OF OUR GENERATION !!!
I'M 66 AND YES I'M OLD BUT I HAD THE BEST OF EVERYTHING LIFE HAD TO OFFER !!!
Yes, more E.L.O.
Fun fact: A two-bar loop of the drums from this song is the entire drum track for "Don't Bring Me Down."
It speaks to Jeff Lynne's skill as a producer as well as a composer and artist.
It was actually “On The Run” that they sampled, but yes, it’s very well done
Love your reaction to the music from my younger years, say what you want nothing now compares to the talent we had in the seventies....
I was so young but I am glad I was there for the 70s music. So much talent and I love the bands that had full on instruments baking them. And the hair and clothes! Haha. Just the best. ELO. Classic. Love it. I appreciate you Jamel
Electric Light Orchestra did a lot of the songs from one of my favorite movies, Xanadu. It's supposed to be a bad movie but I love it.
I just commented on a video from yesterday about this. Apparently, the theme song is Jeff Lynne's favorite song he wrote. I don't think the movie is especially good but it is a trip.
It’s got my Livy in it. How can it possibly be a bad movie? lol
@@scottferrell2806 It's not a terrible movie, just not very good, and she actually has some nice scenes in it, in my opinion. It supposedly inspired the creation of the Razzie awards though.

@@scottferrell2806 She was a very good dancer as well
Rosie Vela is the woman next to him - his girlfriend of 7 years- herself an accomplished singer and famous model back in the day 🤗
Relax at Sage Spa didn’t she sing with steely dan also?
Brendahh Stiles Yes she did
I had such a major crush on Rosie Vela in the 70s...yowza!
Hard to believe She is 50 in this video. Drop dead Gorgeous!!

Sylvia Castro It is one of ELO’s best.

ALL OVER THE WORLD, TWILIGHT...MORE TO GO! And this is newer ELO and yes, they're still performing with Jeff as the only surviving member but the really important founding member of the group.

Jeff Lynne was also wonderful in the Concert for George...but those videos would probably be blocked on here.

Jeff Lynn is a hit machine .... the Beatles started consulting with him in the last years of the band
I saw them live in Kansas City, MO back in 1977. Yes, they sounded as good live.

The entire Live at Wembley show is incredible if you want live stuff!
Their live versions sound so much like the studio version. Seeing them in concert is a happening
@Roe Vega You usually can't say that for most bands, but for these guys I believe it :)
blahblahblah blahblahblah check out their live show at Wembley Stadium on CZcams. This is the show I saw in NYC. So good!
“Happenin” is an underused term today, but so rich in meaning.
An good song is a good song, forever and ever. amen.
I always thought he was singing "he need a woman" till I saw the name of the song 🤣
Saw ELO in probably 1997-1998. They had an amazing lazer show. Don't remember anyone else doing that then. They're timeless!
E. . .L. . .O! Hahaha, you got it!
Relieved!
Billy Thorpe "Children of the Sun "
Oh yeah that's a good one haven't heard it in a long time
Yes.
Yes it is. I always loved the "extreme" use of stereo.
Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs Most People I Know Think That I'm Crazy
@@rodneyprill4618 What's wrong with crazy? Especially when it's Billy.
The keyboard player and Jeff Lynne are the last members of the Electric Light Orchestra from the 1970s
Yes they sound this good live. Saw them on the last t our couple years ago and they were spectacular! "Confusion" is a good song to listen to by ELO.
“Orchestra” isn’t just a catch phrase. Such great music...
Can you react to “All over the world” E L O
Yes please. Wasn’t that from Xanadu..
It is.. I forgot the elo did the soundtrack for that movie..
I try to get people to react to the Xanadu soundtrack. Best soundtrack ever produced imo
...and Im Alive, and Don't Walk Away
The movie wasn’t the greatest. But I liked it. Cheesy. But the music was badass
Yes, their shows always sounds great. Jeff Lynne, the singer, songwriter and producer of E.L.O. is a well known perfectionist.
This song dominated, in fact ELO itself, DOMINATED the pop charts for like four years straight in the 70's. Brings back lots of radio memories.
I grew up listening to this great group ELO. In their day not many liked them. I always said that they were 30 years ahead of everyone else's music. It's great to see your generation now giving ELO the appreciation for their music that they truly deserved.
"Showdown" is a good ELO song to react to.........🎶🎧
My favorite ELO song....Face The Music...best ELO album in my opinion....Jeff Lynne true hall of famer
Jamel_AKA_Jamal I love watching your joy and excitement as you discover music that I have loved for years, but I love your heart more. It is my joy to discover your compassion and gentleness; if more men were like you, we would have a much kinder and safer world. Thank you for being you xx
Groin, so glad it wasn’t a shoulder injury or we would be deprived of the great moves. 😊🎶🎧
👍🏾🤣
I catch myself doing "the Jamel" all the time, now. The hand flourish, too.
I do believe the quote is "growing injury". Haha Love JAJ!
@@hampyonce All these years I never knew that what I was doing was called the Stank Face !!!
Not sure if I've ever seen Jeff without those big shades.
I feel like I’m sharing my music with my younger brother, haha. React to ELO’s “Can’t Get It Out of My Head” from their 1974 Eldorado album.
My favorite E.L.O. Song ♥️💖♥️
Great old song, yes.
Can you imagine sounding and looking this good 35 + years after your radio hits days?
Just a side note, Jeff Lynne is very close to The Beatles that at one time John Lennon called him the fifth Beatle. Talented singer and song writer and yes he still sounds this good. You saw him perform at the tribute for George Harrison, Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame where Prince stole the show. So much great music of the 70s. The former Beatles trusted Jeff Lynne so much that they asked him to produce the songs from the Beatles Anthology. There were master recordings of John Lennon. His wife Yoko gave them to the surviving Beatles. Songs like Free As Bird and Real Love were recorded and as a Beatle fan it was magic all over again hearing all there voices in harmony singing together again was the closest we could ask for. Check out the Beatles Anthology docu. It's a great story. A great history of Rock and Roll. Thank you for playing so many great songs. It's the music of my childhood, of my youth, it was a great time in my life.
Jamel: Please do _Booker T and the MG's - Green Onions_ *LIVE* Norway 1967.
GREAT CALL
Yes yes yes Green Onions
Great tune!
Bet he's heard it but just doesn't know he has..yet
Yep!
You've got to react to at least one ELO live at Wembley 2017 just to see the size of the crowd and their reaction. Plus Jeff can still sing!! I suggest Turn to Stone to see the light show as well.
My knees won't let me dance anymore but I can sit and boogie in this office chair and spin around at the end of the song....... LOL......
Sublime from the genius that is Jeff Lynne 👍😊
Best live band ever. Jeff sounds and looks nearly the same as the 7os
Now do ELO:: "TURN TO STONE"
Agreed.
Yes! Oooh it's up... *rushing over to watch! *
Dude this IS the ... Electric Light ORCHESTRA !
Of course they sound this good LIVE !
I think I have almost every album ELO made in the 1970's... I absolutely loved their music, for me, their music was such a huge chunk of my musical experience back then...listened to their songs almost every day back then, about wore my turntable out with their albums.
You should react to Billy Squier: "Lonely Is The Night", "Stroke", and "My Kinda Lover"
I agree, but if Jamel's going to travel down the Billy Squier road I recommend "In The Dark"!
And "In The Dark" :)
Absolutely.....Billy Squier needs some attention!
YES!
I like everybody wants you
Lot of Jamelians asking for Livin' Thing and Can't Get It Out Of My Head, two great songs!
I love spending my Thursday evenings with Jamel!
Yes Jamal, all Jeff's/ELO live shows sound this good.. he played at the AMA /Grammys a few years back and brought the house down... had McCartney and the like dancing and cheering him on
Hey there - you should try the 'Diary of Horace Wimp' - very different and a lovely love story.
That is one that should be considered mandatory.
Try Supertramp. Logical song, good bye stranger and breakfast in America.
YES PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE😁
Yes! Definitely MORE ELO but also Supertramp, and The Logical Song is great to start.
LOVE SUPERTRAMP!
Would like to add "It's Raining Again". Also, "Give a Little Bit" in the category of "songs Jamel doesn't know he knows".
Hmmm...have to disagree. Bloom was off the rose by the time of Breakfast...all the albums leading up to that release I can get behind...B. In America...not so much
Yes they do sound this good live . . . even now in 2020. Jeff Lynne is a perfectionist and wants it perfect. I am both, your YOUR BIGGEST FAN as well as The biggest Electric Light Orchestra fan! This is the one I was waiting for! My favorite line from this song is @ 5;22 "You Made The Wine Now You Drink a cup" Also love Richard Tandy on the piano!
Amd that bud is what a GOOD BAND sounds like LIVE. Today’s artists cannot do this
You still need to react to ELO " Rock and Roll is King "
That song is awesome! czcams.com/video/21VeAmPOBzI/video.html
