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 🎵❤️😁👌
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 😎
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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…..
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 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.
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!
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" 😁
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
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! ❤😊🙏
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 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
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
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!!!!!😀😀😀😀
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.
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”
I remember listening to Out Of The Blue on the day it was released. Opening with Turn To Stone.....I was so excited to hear if the rest of the songs would be nearly as amazing.....and they were (and still are).
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.
'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!
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.
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.....
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.
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?"
"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.
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,
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.
No one uses the studio like Jeff Lynne. "Out of The Blue" is a masterpiece.
She left him.....His life turned to stone......He wants her back!
Thanks Mark.
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.
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 😎
I am still waiting for the ELO poster in your background😎👍💯
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.
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!
Jeff has been in my life since 1970 he has all ways rise my soul 💯🎸💡🎻
Me as well . They are the best
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!
If you're wanting something powerful go with Eldorado/Eldorado finale
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 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.
Another fantastic reaction, well done.
Try Last Train To London, you will so love it. ELO going a bit disco
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
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.

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
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!

There must not have been a dry eye in the concert hall when they did Handle With Care 😮
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!

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.
Jeff Lynne is a genius. He wrote, arranged and produced every single piece of work you will ever hear.😎
Discovery is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Seen them in Houston it was FANTASTIC A DREAM COME TRUE!!!!!!!
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!

ELO is everything
Time by ELO is also a good one!!
Their best album.
Jeff Lynne is the MAN. Enough said. Great reaction gents 🙏👍😊
"Telephone Line", "Big Wheels", "Starlight" are great next reactions for ELO!
ELO is ALWAYS relevant - ANY time o' year !!! saw them in '82 in omaha !
Jeff's final tour will be this year. I'm going to Detroit to see ELO!
You guys are great. Love ELO and the reaction.
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
Jeff Lynne's ELO is starting up a new tour later this year (2024). You HAVE to see them!!!! Best you will ever see!
Jeff Lynne & ELO, not ordinary - 3D music....great reaction guys 👍
Look at the Wembley Stadium vids, Jeff Lynne, in his 70's and still rocking!
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.
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 💯❤👍
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! ❤😊🙏
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.
You guys have great joyful reactions! ❤️ Also waiting and searching for a 2023 tour!
Mizy & Meezy, next from ELO please react to their 1979 classic, *"The Diary of Horace Wimp".* You'll love it!
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!
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
You guys are so great together. Love how you bond over the music.
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 is currently touring the states at the moment.
the Live at Wembley version is AMAZING! So cool to see them perform this song.
They have been inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame
Listen to the whole LP! The whole thing is a Work of Art!
Next has to be Jungle from the same album it got such a groove
One of the best reactions ever.
thanks
The whole LP is fantastic give it a listen.
You have to see it on the DVD live...it was at the O2 in London ---so cool. It is on CZcams.
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
jeffs composition is other worldly.
If you can find it. Jeff Lynne his first band 'the idle race', their single 'imposters of life's magazine'. Where it all began,
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!!!!!😀😀😀😀
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.
Friends , I agree, next reaction " It's over" , está canción fue versionada por otros artistas.
happy Christmas and Happy New Year 2023
Great advice on making recommendations, cheers.
JEFF LYNNE:GENIUS... I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU REACT TO LAST TRAIN TO LONDON AND SHRANGRI-LA
I went to ELO concert 2 years a row DETROIT
I think the lyrics are “I turned to stone when you were gone”
Fire on High is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎a 5 minute epic instrumental
You had me had elo!
ELO are touring now.
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”
Hell I'm going to fall asleep before you finish this!
Lol
Orchestral background by Louis Clark Sr. His son the Jr. Continues his dad's legacy.
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”.
THE most underrated super group ever.y personal fav is : Tightrope.
I remember listening to Out Of The Blue on the day it was released. Opening with Turn To Stone.....I was so excited to hear if the rest of the songs would be nearly as amazing.....and they were (and still are).
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
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 love you guys!!
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.
Emerson Lake and Palmer live Montreux jazz festival 1997 Tarkus ✌🏼❤️
We see you Thomas.
Has anyone ever said that your son looks like The QB from Kansas City✌🏼❤️ from California
"A New World Record" and "Out of the Blue" Jeff Lynne was at his creative peak IMO.
'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!
Great song you guys are awesome I love your reactions you might try Horace Whimp and midnight blue for another side of Jeff Lynn
They take too long..
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!
great reaction!
Thanks we appreciate it (:
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.....
great reaction guys
Thank You (:
Thanks, kids! Jeff Lynne is amazing... waaaaay under-rated...
Yes, Jeff Lynne is severely underrated. So much talent!
If you wanna hear his voice..last track...eldorado and finale.
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.
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?"
"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
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,
ELO is they. Mostly Jeff, but it’s a group effort.
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.
Awesome!
