ELO’s signature encore song for decades. It was a minor hit they had in 1972. The ladies are the band’s featured string players. Who knows why they were mentioned in the video title.
The original song by Chuck Berry is viewed as one of the original songs _defining_ rock'n'roll music, and the wikipedia page on it lists several other ways it is acclaimed. And it is also a song covered by many, for example the Beatles. ELO's version is probably notable for mixing it with parts of LvB's 5th. Which I think works great.
What a feat it must have been to pull this off!! Great reaction to a great performance!! I love the classical instruments mixed with traditional rock songs! 🌻💛🌻💛
Wonder what Beethoven would have thought about his music becoming rock. Of course he wouldn't be able to hear it since was deaf thanks to being beaten by his own father! 😠 He still wrote amazing music like "Ode to Joy" and conducted orchestras even after he lost his hearing.
John Lennon said Jeff Lynne was the best musician he ever knew. He was also George Harrisons best friend. Oh by the way the Beatles did this song in 1964 give it a listen just flat out Beatles no orchestra but that is the magic of Jeff Lynne he is a serious musician still going strong
Had no idea ELO did this song. I know it from Chuck Berry or maybe the Beatles? Such an educational channel you have here :) I'm so very behind with CZcams videos......
Yes, „not my cup of tea“😉, but it was fun and it looks like everybody there had fun 🤩. I always love when classical music meets rock🎸🎶 and that worked perfect👍. Thank you 😊 🙋🏻♀️
The Chuck Berry original does not refer to good old droog Ludwig van other than in the lyrics. But I believe you are right about a few notes being used throughout, in addition to the beginning, which I think is almost straight from the 5. symphony ("Fate"), and at the end.
Enjoyed your reaction, Hap. I know the song but first time seeing this version. 👍 It was originally by Chuck Berry - czcams.com/video/kT3kCVFFLNg/video.html
The original version by electric light orchestra is heads and tails better than this version of Jeff Lynne's elo. It's good but not as good as the original.
Jeff took Chuck Berry's R & B version of this and added Beethoven's 5th and his own rocking twist and made this epic version.
Jeff Lynne's 68 years old here, he's 74 now.
What a star
Another GENIUS.
Long may he reign....
This is normally the last song. Langley sisters are the chellos & violinist. Love ELO❤️💜
Superb HAP. Jeff Lynne at 70+ years of age can still do it all aided and abetted by a great group of musicians. Thanks for an honest reaction 👍😊

Probably because the Langley Sisters are a fairly renowned group themselves?
That is a great iconic song! Especially the guitar 🔥❤️. You would be surprised how many people love this song. 🥰

FANTASTIC!!! Got people moving! The ladies Are playing the strings!!! Thanks a bunch, a nice surprise.!!! Great reaction! 💜🎵💜🎵
Heyup Hapz, a classic ELO hit. I'll be surprised if you haven't heard the studio version. Rosie & Amy were on the strings I believe.
Wow, takes me back to my childhood when Chuck Berry did this. Guess I'm partial to the original, but this is interesting.

Masterpiece.😊
Were violin and chello player's.
First time I've seen this production. Amazing intro segue!
Good old Rock N Roll !!! 🎵🎸🎹🥁🎤

Music geniuses. 🎼🎸🥁🎻🎤🎶 Great reaction Hap!
Good reaction, captured my sentiments precisely.
The 45 in the background rotating too slowly! however made that, you had one job! lol ELO great as always of course.
Chuck Berry the Father of Rock and Roll wrote and recorded" Roll Over Beethoven".Check out Chuck's version.
The original elo version is better.
Jill was here!🎶🎸🔥 Peace J ✌ ☮ 💕

The Beatles did it also but the original elo version is the best.

Thank you 😊 🙋🏻♀️
Hi. Please do video reactions for this two songs 1) Queen - I'm going slightly mad
2) Queen - No one but you (only good die young)
Thank you
Always a good song. It's a Chuck Berry original. You should do the original as well.
This is Chuck on steroids.
Please react to Rumi poetry by homayoun shajarian.
For me you can't beat the original 1973 studio version on EMI...this is quite a good version though...
The thumb nail says Electronic...it is Electric.
Yet another great cover of Chuck Berry's 1956 hit song. You might want to check out the Beatles' 1964 cover, too :) Thanks for the reaction!
Cool, thanks!
Off topic, but I think we'd all love to have you react to Avi Kaplan's new release, "First Place I Go".
My comment is old, and Avi has since, just a week ago, put out a new song, "All Is Well".

Glastonbury appears to be the place to be.

This version without the violin riffs on the studio version just falls flat.
Please don't display your ignorance. The Langley sisters as backing vocalists?
That was just too much!
