In this edition of #thedailydoug, I'm paying tribute to keyboardist Richard Tandy of The Electric Light Orchestra, who passed away last week. We're listening and watching the band back in their prime (1976) performing Evil Woman live on stage in London. This song was their first international hit, and Richard's keyboard work plays a pivotal role in this song. Rest in Peace, Richard!

Best live band musically! ELO and the Beatles are my 2 favorite bands.
The fact Jeff Lynne brought Richard back for his elo reboot shows the massive respect Jeff had for him. Evil Woman was a great choice to show Richard's keyboard skills. Thanks Doug
In many bands the keyboard player is also the musical director (MD). The MD has the “job” of teaching the band the new songs/arrangements/transposing music into different musical keys etc.etc. - and is usually formally trained. So a good keyboardist has great value in a band.
One of my all-time favorite bands. I got to see them in concert when they came to St. Louis in 1981 for their Time tour. I got tickets to see them again when they return in September. RIP Richard Tandy.
I was given a new world record for Christmas in 1976 and that one album just fueled a lifelong love of everything ELO. It’s sad hearing that richard has passed away because he was definitely a core part of the architecture of ELO’s awesome sound.
Same here. Out of the Blue next and then back to Face the Music, forward an album and back an album until I had all of them. Aaaah! The smell of fresh vinyl!
And me as well, same Christmas, same, great, album!
RIP Richard Tandy and God bless you. Richard was a pivotal member of the band that I have loved from the early 70s and still. Thank you Doug for an insightful tribute 🙏👍😊❤️
In my opinion, ELO defined the sound of 70s pop music. ELO was also a significant influence in what we now call Classic Rock.
Love THIS Song ELO PLAYING LIVE. GOOD VIBES WITH MR. TANDY, A GREAT KEYBOARDER. ✍️ MAY HE RIP ANOTHER WHO DIED OF THE ERA OF 70S BANDS. SAAAAD. THX TO THIS MUSICIAN.🙏
Quality live recording so close to the album. It shows their musical talent although I am no musician, merely just a fan.
I was lucky enough to seem them twice back in 1973, one of the best live bands I've ever seen. Their gigs always lasted for at least 30 minutes longer than any other band back in the day.
Great value for the ticket price!
RIP Richard Tandy, one of the great unsung heroes of rock music. ELO had really found the sound that made them by the time Evil Woman came out, but the earlier stuff with Roy Wood in the band is really interesting if not so pop as prog, try 10538 Overture as a sample of the Roy Wood era, in fact check Roy Wood as a separate subject too.
I met Richard and his wife in 2016 and they were very very sweet! I've been lucky enough to see the resurrected ELO 4 times since 2014, including the big comeback in Hyde Park with 50.000 fans and it's been so joyous. Jeff Lynne is doing a farewell tour this year and is starting in the US so hopefully he will be doing Europe too so I can go again. :)
Rock In Peace Richard
ELO was my mums favourite band. They were consistent in the U.K. charts. Mr Blue Sky is a favourite of my mums.
Before Jeff made his comeback tours, there was an acoustic performance called "Live from the bungalow" with Richard that was so good. Available on YT as a playlist.
All of the songs they did together are phenomenal!!
On the Flashback album is a track “ Griegs Piano Concerto in A minor” it has Jeff and Richard together and shows how well they complemented each other. Richard had magical fingers and enthralled us all, we will always be enchanted by his mastery of anything he played.
Thanks for your kind thoughts of Richard. He was a key engineer of ELO’s classic sound. Your added analysis was much appreciated. It add much to what could be a standard reaction video.
Warmest regards and thoughts to the family of a fellow RT. ELO was so unique and Face The Music is a superlative album - definitely on my personal top 10.
Suggestion for the next ELO tune: "Four Little Diamonds."
Excellent suggestion! That's one of the picks of a great album (sadly underrated).
R.i.P. Richard Tandy.
I grew up with ELO's tunes. Out of the Blue was the 1st album I bought from my monthly allowance.
"Face the Music" was the first LP I ever bought with my own money. Its still a favourite today. R.I.P. Richard Tandy. Thanks for doing this Doug.
I think I read somewhere in the sleeve notes of one of the ELO albums - probably directly from Jeff Lynne - “Thanks to the magic fingers of Richard Tandy”. Kind of says it all really. We all thank you for your “magic fingers” sir. May you Rest In Peace.
Thank you Doug, he was part of the DNA of ELO. Very much enjoyed your tribute. Good man.
THX FOR Y,DAYS IM POWSLAVE NO ONE . IN 1986 I SAW IM AT HAMM-SMITH ODEON AND SUDDENLY J.PAGE CAME ON STAGE!!! ANS HE PLAYED WITH IM SOME TUNES. THAT WAS ONE OF MY BEST MEMORIES IN ENGLAND FOR LEARNING A GOOD ENGLISH. SUNDAY AFTERNOON WERE THE LAST TICKETS, ALSO FOR ME. GREAT AND EMOTIONAL LONG LIVE R AND ROLL. UP THE IRONS 🤘
Great stuff Doug, thank you!
Great episode!!! Can’t wait for your next ELO episode!!!
I like your choice of song here. Also, a nice tribute to Mr Tandy, Doug. May I suggest "Ticket To the Moon" for one of your future ELO reactions? Be well.
RIP Richard. Loved your music.... Great song!
I missed the 4 30 Live Pod cast but I got here asap. Great job, as always, Doug. Thanks for the info about the band / song. I mentioned earlier that i heard that Richard the bass player died, but I meant to say keyboardist. Lol.
It takes awhile sometimes for my brain to get in focus. 😅. I have so many other bands and instruments in my brain 24 / 7 in 1 day, haaa haaa.
The keyboard playing in the beginning is phenomenal, with that sorta funky feel.
Bev Bevan is / was an EXCELLENT drummer.
Great blend of musicians and sounds for ELO.
I think Jeff may have been talking about ALL woman, 😂. I'M KIDDING.
I hope MEGAN is doing better. 🙏
GOD BLESS.
"Time" would make for a great Masterpiece Friday... definitely a bit different from their usual sound, with far more emphasis on synths and electronic elements rather than strings, but still a wild ride from start to finish, and as a concept album, one that should be listened to as a whole.
Thank you in advance for this tribute.
Jeff Lynne's ELO are doing they're final ever tour soon....and yes I have tickets, I see them in September
Me too! In Boston on the 23rd. 😁 It'll be my first and unfortunately, my last.
Dankeschön
Wie immer sehr unterhaltsam
I love the STUDIO version of this song, because the lead singer's voice comes out much more amazingly. I also love how the whole band says "ha ha" together throughout the song.
They were awesome... one of the 13? Columbia Records .01 cent "deal" vinyl albums I purchased back in the 70's (along with Elvis Costello, Tom Petty, Neil Young, etc.).
You need to hear the live album: The Night the Lights Went On (In Long Beach) (1974). They weren’t able to do a sound check because their equipment truck broke down, so it’s raw, which is a good thing! It was supposed to be the follow-up to their album On The Third Day, but the quality was poor. In fact, the production company was sued. It was released in a few countries, but not in the U.S. … though the live version of “10538 Overture” was used as the B-side to “Evil Woman”. The live version of “Roll Over Beethoven” was used as the B-side of the alternate version of “Telephone Line”in the CBS Hall of Fame 45 reissue series.
Later it was discovered that the original LP had been pressed from an inferior copy of a recording of the concert. The original master was found in the record company vault-and that’s what we now have…a remastered CD was issued in 1998.
Great live album. Too bad it took so long to get it right. Any audience had long moved on.
This is recorded in 1976. Pre backing tapes and sequencers. Everything played on stage is played live! Every singel note!
I also thought it was Medeival Woman...cant help but sing it that way.
It's so annoying when you sing along to a tune under the shower and the artist simply can't remember the lyrics. 😉🤣🤣
I would love you to react to the Overture/Can't Get It Out of My Head from Eldorado Doug, I think you would enjoy! Or even Roll Over Beethoven from ELO 2!
RIP Richard. What lovely tributes. Doug. regarding the Rock 'n Roll Hall Of Fame tribute that refers to how ELO showed the way Rock 'n Roll and Classical music could co exits, can I suggest you listen to Rockaria, from the album A New World Record, which to my mind is the perfect example of that union.
On the studio recording, the drums come in like a freight train. I used to pick up the needle and play it over and over.
You _really_ have to do their _Daytripper_ cover, the live version from Long Beach 1974. Also, the live version of _10538 Overture_ from the same concert is worth comparing to the 1972 studio version from their first album, to hear how the ELO sound had stabilised by then.
Life is sad sometimes - as Jeff wrote on the omitted song from their 73 third album, On The Third Day: _Everyone's Born To Die_ (with Marc Bolan no less, joining on guitar, another star who was lost much too early.) We know nothing about what a life will be, when it begins - except that for sure one day it will end. And the only life we can get beyond that, is in the memory of people who knew us, whether it is family or the people we may have made a lasting impression on. Richard Tandy has both, and will live on in our hearts. ❤
_Everyone's Born To Die_ is one of Jeff's many quite philosophical songs, and he has been doing that kind of songs from the earliest time of his career, many of his Idle Race songs, and several of his songs with the Move are in that category, as is for example a good part of the 2001 album Zoom. These songs deserve much more attention than they are getting, in my opinion. Both lyrics, music, and production of these songs are imo at least as good as anything else Jeff Lynne has made. Alas, Jeff seems to have no desire to revisit them, and they remain obscure.
man... Tandy AND Pinder gone within a month of each other. :(
Last Train to London! You will enjoy this ELO masterpiece!
I remember going to New Street Station in Birmingham to check the time of the last train to London at that time. The things us kids used to do lol.
An awesome memory!
Medievil woman! I thought I was the only person who heard this! 🤣🤣
Richard's association with Jeff goes back to the days of Lynne's band The Idle Race and the last death throes of aThe Move. What? - an overlooked prog gem - from Looking On, signposts Jeff and ELO's future direction.
If I may suggest a song that shows off Richard's skill, It's Shangri-La...the last track on A New World Record. It's a sad relationship breakup song, and the keyboard outro is gut wrenching. I wasn't aware of his passing, but RIP and condolences to his family.
Produced by written by and sung by Jeff Lynne. RIP Richard Tandy, piano 🎹, 2024, Tom Petty.
Jeff Lynne is the only constant member in ELO. Many hit songs.
Outside if ELO, Jeff Lynne wrote and produced for Tom Petty, Bryan Adams, The Traveling Wilburys.
Suggested video 📹: Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne perform I Won't Back Down.
Jeff Lynne also produced Joe Walsh’s last solo album “Analog Man”. Jeff Lynne leaves his “production thumbprint” on all of his work
CAN'T GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD-one of their best songs. give it a try.
Doug, please cover “ Sweet Talking Woman” you’ll love it!
Lol! That's great! The first few times I heard the song, I too thought he was saying "Medieval Woman."
Doug, you should do some reactions to classical music, even pieces you're already familiar with. I'd love to see you break down Beethoven's Op 101 or 109, or Chopin's Barcarolle or Fm Ballade.
Daft Punk sampled the riff which appears every "the evil woman" bit from the studio version. It is on their song "Face To Face".
Doug, thank you for going through the musical theory at the end, its a very interesting insight.
Richard was not a flamboyant soloist like Emerson or Wakeman, but he was a great provider of layers and textures for Jeff's timeless melodies; a great example of less is more in musical presentation.
HI DOUG I LOVE ELO. THEY HAD THE BEST MUSIC BACK IN THE DAY. I LOVE BANDS WITH VIOLINS LIKE KANSAS JEAN LUC PONTY UK AND SO ON.
Before Daft Punk broke up, I wish they did a cover album. Focusing on two artist’s music. Tandy & Troutman.
Roger, from Zapp.
Personally I would love to have facilitated a conversation between Todd Rundgren & Richard Tandy about synthesizers.
P.S. Way to sit in with the band, Doc!
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the ELO classic, Roll Over Beethoven. For me, it really showed what you could do to blend different genres of music with (at the time), modern equipment and techniques.
Their "A New World's Record" is a must-hear. "Rockaria", "The Mission" and "Shangri-La" would be right up your street. Love your channel, Doc!
You forgot "Tightrope," one of the best tracks _anyone_ ever did.
@@Drchainsaw77 That whole record is amazing. An all-star at every position. My late husband got to see them at Cleveland Stadium on that tour and bragged practically till he died. I saw Queen 5 times and I was jealous.
You’re the very first person besides myself who I’ve ever heard say they thought he was saying Medieval Woman. For me though this was in 1975 before I knew better.
Buen Gesto de Daily Doug hacia el brillante tecladista de ELO Richard Tandy. Hasta Chile 🇨🇱 desde donde soy, llegó está triste noticia del fallecimiento de Tandy. Condolencias a Familia. Muy talentoso en los sintetizadores de ELO, entregó un sello futurista en sonido a la banda.
Really need to do “Tightrope” from “A New World Record” it’s an amazing song!!!🎵
SNL DID do a 'Medieval Woman' spoof years ago.
🤣🤣🤣
One of the strings players - I can't remember who - died a number of years ago when a large roll of hay rolled off of a farmer's trailer that he was following and crushed him in his car.
Great E.L.O., R.I.P. Richard.
Oh... Richard. Thank you so much for what you have done. Very sad.
It took me entirely too many years to realize Electric Light Orchestra was a Light Orchestra, but Electric. I think the use of the light bulb on early album covers kept me leaning toward an Orchestra of Electric Light.
I am sure the ambiguity was known and intended, when the group was named. Also, "light" has other nice and positive connotations.
Sad to see Richard pass away. He was originally the live keyboard for the previous Band that Jeff was in with Roy Wood called The Move.
I would really suggest taking a listen to Shangri-la, it's my favorite song ever and it would go well with the type of ELO songs you've been listening to
great great great thank you doug.
I love the grounded reality of this channel!!!
*Retirement took a toll on my finances, but with my involvement in the digital market, $15,000 weekly returns has been life changing. AWESOME GOD* ❤️
I feel sympathy and empathy for our country, low income earners are suffering to survive, and I appreciate Wayne. You've helped my family with your advice. imagine investing $30,000 and receiving $95,460 after 28 days of trading.
I'm in a similar situation where should I look to increase income? Do you have any advice? What did you do ? Thank you
Well I engage in nice side hustles like inves'ting, and the good thing is I do it with one one of the best(Michael Wayne), he's really good!
Did someone just mention Mr Wayne!? Damn! You just made my day; what a coincidence.. I've worked with him for over 2years and I can tell how good he is
It's great to see you guys talking about
Michael Wayne, This man changed the game for me. Good Man ❤
Isn't it frightening to remember that this was "Pop Music"...compare and contrast with today...!
Btw Dr. H - most of us can type "ELO Lyrics" - we don't necessarily need them read out to us...
ELO were so good, even the reboot is good.
Keeping an eye open for UK Tour dates...
E.L.O. has made so many great songs in the 70s and 80s. Your next try could be Tightrope.
I was looking at your previous reviews and didn't see the the other "Woman" song. Santana- Black Magic Woman. I suggest you add it in some time.
Richard played the main guitar intro on Strange Magic, the second single release from this album. I hope you check that one out. Also, you should check out the song that I think is the most symbolic of the original idea of the rock + classical marriage "From the Sun to the World (Boogie #1)", on ELO 2.
Headless cross by black sabbath, the drums are savage. I am from brasil thanks.
ELO are such a good band. Telephone Line is another fab song.
Jeff has always been a hero of mine.
Talking about 'evil woman' If you want a light and fun reaction video, react to Evil Woman from black sabbath, sport, strait, fun, abd with good twist, the drums in particular for me are very good
Jeff is one of the greatest in all respects of music...
How about the long version of Roll Over Beethoven. Right up your alley!
I think it would be fun for you to do a dive into Rob Hubbard music at some point. I realize that the music is old and of poor quality (being on 8-bit machines), but in my opinion it is still worth a short video of content. He was very prolific during a relative short time-period (some 30+ years ago), and was considered to be one of the greatest SID chip composers at the time. I especially like the OST he composed for "Monty on the Run" and for "Phantom of the Asteroids".
you really have to do ELO's predecessor The Move. you might enjoy the track Cherry Blossom Clinic Revisited from the album Shazam,for me one of my fav albums.
No doubt about it, Jeff Lynne is a musical genius.
You should definitely check out Synestia's and Disembodied Tyrant's latest EP, 'The Poetic Edda'. Or at least listen to the song 'Winter' from the EP. Such a masterpiece
Like 👍
Face the Music is an incredible album as well.
Saw ELO with Roy Wood who co founded the band after the break up of the Move seem to remember he was engaged to Annie Haslam for years
John Lennon had said that if the Beatles had still gone on after ‘Abby Road’ , they might have been as an ELO, as to his mind The Beatles’ “continued “.
More cowbell!!
I liked my prog mixed with pop.
please react to killzone 3's "ever we fight on" main menu music, you may be pleasantly surprised. the artist lost his mother a week before composing the piece and you can feel the emotion behind it.
Now watch the 2017 Live at Wembley Stadium version.
I missed a lot of the strings sounds on this recording unless it’s not coming through on my computer.
Good video thanx, you could pause more not so much jeje and amplify your good insights, again thanx, entertaining
Needs more cow bell. I’m serious! Wasn’t Strange Magic their first international hit?
Would you do Keith Jarrett, Köln Concert? I know it is totally different but, why not?
Are you going to react to the eurovision?
Please go back and listen to Showdown. It is a great song and just a bit more of a rock tune than their other songs. Also, on your own time take a listen to the long version of Roll Over Beethoven.
Have you listened to Rollover Beethoven by ELO yet ??
