Well it's probably not in the best 50 songs he's written. So he's probably being accurate. But that doesn't mean it's a mediocre song. It means, when you're a genius, even your mediocre songs are world famous and fantastic.
I still can't comprehend how The Beatles literally have like 150+ incredible songs that I never get tired of listening to. Most bands go at the absolute deepest maybe 20 great songs. Then there's the greatest music group to ever exist.
I'm a huge fan too. I was born in 1961 and had there 45's then albums. Hey Bulldog is the most under appreciated song and unknown by many in their catalog. Sublime lyrics by Lennon and good rocking tune. It's in my top 5 for them. George's Old Brown Shoe is another over looked song also.
@@Rowlph8888 Except he's not playing the real bass line..he's playing the root notes of the chord changes like any beginner or bad bass player would. My guess is he's really good if they chose him to be up there but he didn't have time to learn all the songs. Check out the Beatles version and what Paul plays, it's incredible.
Amen Carl! I heard it for the first time on 8 track in my parents 77 LTD had a quadraphonic sound system. The tape was titled Beatles Rock and Roll music. Hey Bull Dog stuck out the most to me ! Love everything about the song!
@@billybentley4755 I had that 8 track also, vol. 1&2. Had non-descriptive label and one 8track case was red and the other blue. George laid down a bold lead riff on an SG and Paul dubbed in a party down on the bass. Always one of my favorites and then one of our best bar bands around here in Detroit rocked it back in the ‘70’s and fit it in between all the hard rock covers they were doing, perfectly. Thanks Stonebridge and Bobby George.
Agree. Haven't owned a TV sunce 1987 but asked for thrsr two Grammies programs to be put on Mt Prospect Illinois bowl big screen set Five minutes before end someone asked wouldn't you like to see soccer game. Got to see Paul & Ringo til the end
What were you smoking when your brain comprehended this? Lennon said they were like the sons of the Beatles and he admired them and they were influenced by "I am the Walrus". I love ELO but they were not the Beatles level!
@@joejamison8876 Beatles and ELO are different types of music, but I think that was the point that Lennon was making. The Beatles would have mutated into a more orchestral band. And there's a precedent for that because the legendary Beatles often used orchestral composition in their music
@@joejamison8876 Musically Jeff Lynne is better plus he is a freaking good producer based on Paul, George and Ringo's comments add to that Roy Orbison, Tom petty, Bob Dylan, Brian Wilson and so many, many others...
any musician, or person for that matter who doesn't at least respect the hell out of the Beatles is absolutely not to be trusted. Dude even Shaquille O'Neal referenced the John/Paul relationship in reference to his friendship with Kobe Bryant in his great speech at the Kobe memorial. That is how huge the Beatles' impact still is to this day. Kurt was also a huge fan, obviously.
Jeff Lynne (ELO)...First, he is a very humble man, simply because this Music Genius is not interested in fame, the limelight, and money, he just loves to create great music. Jeff Lynne is one of the most versatile musicians ever, this is why he is considered by his peers to be among the greatest. He didn't stick to one style of music because, after decades, it gets boring. Jeff has done progressive Rock, Symphonic Rock - Pop, New wave, and Disco. Everything he does turns to gold. He even flirted with Country music. From 1972 to 1986 (During 14 years) Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra has had more top 40 hits than any other group in the world... 51 years later they still play in sold-out Arenas, festivals and Stadiums. During Jeff Lynne's ELO 2019 Tour, many reviews agreed in saying they are the best live Classic Rock Band in the world still touring and Jeff Lynne is a Music Genius( From Forbes Magazine and the Washington Post). ELO is in the Rock Hall of Fame. Lynne is on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and Birmingham Walk OF Fame. Jeff Lynne’s ELO won the Best Classic Rock Band plus Lynne won the best Songwriter award ( ASCAP ) in 2019 for his fantastic contribution over the years. In October of 2020, Jeff Lynne has been made an officer of The Order Of The British Empire for his extraordinary contribution to music. He previously has received three Ivor Novello Awards, which celebrate songwriters and composers, including the award for outstanding services to British music. He created the best Super Group of all time with his best friend George Harrison, The Traveling Wilburys. The Legends in the Music Industry call Jeff Lynne the best overall Musician ever and a Producer Extraordinaire. Jeff Lynne has written and produced many hit songs for music legends like George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Joe Walsh, Brian Wilson, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Bryan Adams, Aerosmith, Del Shannon, the Everly Brothers, The Beatles, and so many others...
This is such an incredible backing ensemble - Peter Frampton and Steve Lukather on guitar, Don Was on bass, Kenny Aranoff on drums, Lenny Castro on percussion and Gregg Phillinganes on keys! All legends in the own right not to even mention Grohl and Lynne.
The main thing is that the two front men adequately handled the vocal lines and that Lukather did George's solo guitar on the song fairly well. It was a homage.
He's really an amazing, special talent. Drummer in a legendary band, front man of another great band, always putting stuff out, making movies, doing comedy, jamming with the greats on stage, and seems to be just a good dude. He's one of his generation's best, and I'm not even really a Nirvana or Foo fan!
@@lgaytan65Paul actually was genius. Without him we wouldn’t have had the epic ending to A Day In The Life as an example. I think Paul was absolutely genius!!!
the ultimate rocker, Jeff Lynne, knowing this is Dave's gig, near the end of the song,looks over to him direction as to where Dave wants the to go. and follows Dave lead.
They remain the most covered band of all time, yet pick any one of their songs and which version is always the preferred version? The original Beatles version, every fucking time. Some attempts have been flashier (Jimi Hendrix's Sgt Peppers), some attempts have been more epic (Joe Cocker's With a Little Help from My Friends), some have been more soulful (Stevie Wonder's We Can Work It Out), but it's the tightness and well roundedness of the band that creates a sound nobody can surpass. Like artists have been scurrying for 60 years to make a better Beatles song than The Beatles themselves and it is yet to happen even once lol
@@ThatOtherRaccoon quite a few people feel that way, but I'm not one of them. I'll take the original over Joe Cocker's cover any day of the week, and twice on Sundays.
Paul, he's more than air drummer!! he is a good drummer, by the way he is playing drum on Concrete and Gold from the Foo Figthers! for me Paul he's the best from the beattles (writting, playing lot of instruments, still on stage and always open for new fun) Ringo... he's...Ringo... he's (for me) still the guy was going to knock on the Mc Cartney house for give the letter from ''The Beattles" who ask to Paul to postpone the release of his own album.

Thomas Bishop he always does. It is the hardest thing for him to just watch. He loves playing and singing. He said: "I would do it for free." He is happy to be paid for it, but he does a lot,of freebies too, because he just loves music.
Jeff Lynne is an amazing music star and so humble and down to earth, very rare in the music world of big heads and loud mouths who could not keep up with or come close to Lynnes's talent.
It's a travesty he hasn't been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in his own right! He has done so much more for Rock & Roll than just being the founder ELO!
@@robertmcaree7016 Yes he should have been in the RRHOF as Jeff Lynne years ago. At least he is in as a member of ELO. We need a petition. Jeff deserves recognition as one of the greatest musicians, songwriters and producers ever in the Music industry.
Music Lover No doubt. My buddy who saw him in concert last year said that the sound was incredible. I knew it would be because Lynn is such a talent on both sides of the mixing board.
Greg Boyko We have had the chance to see him 4 times in the last 4 years ...Forbes Magazine and other reviews have mentioned, Jeff Lynne’s Electric Light Orchestra is the best live classic Rock Band in the world. Awesome in concert!
Folks, if this cover doesn’t give you chills and a happy memory of the greatest band in history, nothing will…..it just doesn’t get any cooler than this……enjoy !!!!
I would have gotten chills if they added the barking. The fact that they didn't tells me they felt above reenacting the playfulness that the Beatles displayed. Making an original your own is one thing, omitting the signature effect within the song is slightly disrespectful IMO
@Debbie Smith actually that would have been prettyy good if they let her do the end. It was a let down when they didn't do the howling and screaming chaos lile on the original.
Jazzy i couldn't agree more...Only facts...The great Jeff Lynne has a new album out since November 1st, 2019 which was no.1 in the UK last November.

My Favourite Beatles song performed by amazing musicians. Dave Grohl was amazing but Jeff Lynne continues to be epic. Love them both. Cool factor 15 out of 10.
George Harrison said it many times, Jeff Lynne made him a better singer as he said in the following ineterview...No wonder why, Lynne has such a unique and beautiful voice. czcams.com/video/CETR-zQTzdc/video.html

Their love .... .Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for what you have given us and it is the journey to infinity ...
My dads favourite band my favourite band and my little daughters favourite band. That is what the beatles do to you. They get past down in generations. To be a beatles fan its in your genes!!!!!
That riff is so amazing. I loved Hey Bulldog when the album first came out. I couldn’t get enough of it. I wasn’t crazy about the album but it was the only way you could get Bulldog.
Bulldog was huge, but the songs also included Harrison's oft overlooked "It's All Too Much" and I also liked the sly simplicity of McCartney's, "....can I take my friend to bed?" Beatles were the best, even in their minor masterpieces.

I also love the Fanny´s cover version. This is Beatles´ best hard rock grunge tune. A true masterpiece. The way the piano walks up the scale in staccato fashion during the chorus followed by the heavy guitar riff on the bridge is...genius. So is the lyrics. True poetry. "Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles".... "Some kind of innocense is measured out in years"..."Some kind of solitude is measured out in you. You think you know me but you haven´t got a clew!"

Just imagine John Lennon considering this terrific song a “throwaway”. Beatles sure had high standards. This was actually recorded during the Revolver sessions along w Lady Madonna. U can hear the similar driving piano in both songs. Magnificent!
@@naphza1 February 11, 1968 according to " The Beatles Bible" website. Ian MacDonald pointed to this song as the recording where John started to emerge from his LSD period.
This was recorded before they went to India in '68-- when they came back from India , they recorded the White Album-- Hey Bulldog would have fit great on the White Album-- I imagine it on Side 3 of the LP
That can't be possible. Hey bulldog was recorded just before they went to India in 1968. After they returned they made the white album and lady madonna.
I did see Jeff Lynne’s Electric Light Orchestra in New York 2016 Toronto in 2018 and 2019. They were voted the best live classic Rock Band in the world 🌎 and after seeing about more than 200 concerts in my life I totally agree. Let’s hope they tour one more time in 2022-2023. I will go wherever they play.🙏❤️👍
John Lennon considered *Hey Bulldog* a "throw away" song. It has always been one of my favorites,
Blue I don’t think John is a very good judge of his own music
Mine too!
He called "Dig A Pony" the worst song he ever wrote. But that's another I like a lot
Well it's probably not in the best 50 songs he's written. So he's probably being accurate. But that doesn't mean it's a mediocre song. It means, when you're a genius, even your mediocre songs are world famous and fantastic.
He had like 3 favorite songs he wrote and a whole lot of "garbage"

Believe me man! EVERYONE in that audience has heard "Hey Bulldog" countless times before.
Alicia Keys appears to have heard it before. And, she's digging it. She's easy on the eyes, too.
True. Young people haven't heard it and some older people are only familiar with another 30 or so different songs by the Beatles.
Every Beatles song was a winner to me.. I never heard a bad one in the entire catalog…. Thanks to the Beatles for existing in my lifetime….
You know my name look up the number?.....that one's pretty tough for me lol....although Paul really likes that one! To each his own....
I love how he describe John's voice. It's perfect. This whole song is perfect. Jack-knife in your sweaty hands....
Ye i am a Beatles Fan too. Nice tribute to John's voice. Could John Fogerty produce that kind of voice -like Lennon in Twist and Shout ?
Looked like Paul was wanting to run up there and join them!
Well done!
Thomas Bishop he always does. It is the hardest thing for him to just watch. He loves playing and singing. He said: "I would do it for free." He is happy to be paid for it, but he does a lot,of freebies too, because he just loves music.
I agree! He wanted to be up there so bad!!!
0:42 Ringo was pointing himself, so cute
Yes! It is one of my favorites. The Beatles sound like they're having fun. Thank you.
That's the overriding feel of all their music.
It's an underrated song. It's dark, heavy and rock 'n' roll. It's the Beatles song that I've listened to most in the past 10 years.
They didn't do the woof woof stuff at the end.
Dissapointed :(
You got anymore 👍👌🤞
F
woof woof is the best part
I had to do it myself at the screen hearing how they mishandled the song.
Jeff Lynne is an amazing music star and so humble and down to earth, very rare in the music world of big heads and loud mouths who could not keep up with or come close to Lynnes's talent.
Well said! Jeff Lynne is in a class by himself! Genius!!!
Jeff Lynne rules! Still making great music and still touring at 72. Stay young Jeff we need your music. Very nice cover.
It's a travesty he hasn't been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in his own right! He has done so much more for Rock & Roll than just being the founder ELO!
@@robertmcaree7016 Yes he should have been in the RRHOF as Jeff Lynne years ago. At least he is in as a member of ELO. We need a petition. Jeff deserves recognition as one of the greatest musicians, songwriters and producers ever in the Music industry.
Awesome. Grohl is great but Lynn’s harmonies are incredible.
Greg Boyko Jeff Lynne is amazing in what ever he does in Music.
Music Lover No doubt. My buddy who saw him in concert last year said that the sound was incredible. I knew it would be because Lynn is such a talent on both sides of the mixing board.
Greg Boyko We have had the chance to see him 4 times in the last 4 years ...Forbes Magazine and other reviews have mentioned, Jeff Lynne’s Electric Light Orchestra is the best live classic Rock Band in the world. Awesome in concert!
I agree
I am so glad I finally saw Jeff Lynn live in 2018. Did not dissapoint!
Folks, if this cover doesn’t give you chills and a happy memory of the greatest band in history, nothing will…..it just doesn’t get any cooler than this……enjoy !!!!
I would have gotten chills if they added the barking. The fact that they didn't tells me they felt above reenacting the playfulness that the Beatles displayed. Making an original your own is one thing, omitting the signature effect within the song is slightly disrespectful IMO
I was half expecting yoko to get up there and start screaming into the mic.
When the camera cut to Yoko I thought she was the bulldog
@Debbie Smith actually that would have been prettyy good if they let her do the end. It was a let down when they didn't do the howling and screaming chaos lile on the original.
"You can talk to me, you can talk to me...." not you *looks towards Yoko
oh no please nooo
😂
One of my favorite Beatles songs! My respect for Dave Grohl went up tremendously (and I've always had respect for him). Nice version!
Thank god Jeff Lynne saved this performance on vocals. A music genius.
Jeff Lynne is fucking bad ass
Jazzy i couldn't agree more...Only facts...The great Jeff Lynne has a new album out since November 1st, 2019 which was no.1 in the UK last November. Jeff Lynne's ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA is still Touring! From 1972 to 1986 (During 14 years) Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra has had more top 40 hits than any other group in the world. 50 years later they still play in sold-out Arenas and Stadiums. we saw them again last Summer of 2019 on the North American Tour...( Best Concert of our life) All the reviews agree they are the best live act in the world and Jeff Lynne is a Music Genius. They are in the Rock Hall of Fame. Lynne is on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and Birmingham Walk OF Fame. Jeff Lynne’s ELO won the Best Classic Rock Band plus Lynne won the best Song Writer award ( ASCAP ) 2019 for his fantastic contribution over the years. He created the best Super Group of all time with his best friend George Harrison, The Traveling Wilburys. The Legends in the Music Industry call Jeff Lynne the best overall Musician ever and a Producer Extraordinaire.

Jeff Lynne is AWESOME!! Then and Now..love ya Jeff...

Yes. He is. I love him too
Jeff Lynne is the most talented Music God ever. He will be 71 in 2018 and his voice is Gold. All his live concerts sound as good if not better than the original recordings...Not many bands and musicians can match that. Just have a listen from Jeff Lynne's ELO at Wembley Stadium June 24 2017... Can't wait to see Jeff Lynne's ELO on the 2018 Europe and North American Tour. I just received my tickets for LA , NY and Toronto Canada. It will be awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jeff Lynne's ELO World Tour 2018 I saw them last year, FaB, seeing them again in November, enjoy seeing/hearing the legend 👍
Try watching the "Live comeback tour 2001"; it's about as perfect a performance as you'll ever see and good sound quality too.
Mr. Grohl, like the Fab, can do anything and does everything perfectly. Great seeing Jeff Lynne and Peter Frampton up there! Love this!
Dave and Jeff NEED to put this to Record there voices are PERFECT and i love this song because of Dave Grohl and Jeff Lynne
Puh-leeez
Paul's original bass blew your head off.
God yeah! Groovy as F***!!!
+Gustavo Al
TOTALLY !!!
The mix here should have had the bass way up.
Which head? XD
Gustavo Al truth
R.I.P. Georg Harrison john lennon.
there are somewhere incredible now I heard when George died the whole room lit up in white light so George especially is fine now better than ever

According to the Beatles and many other Music Legends, Jeff Lynne is one of the best overall musicians and producers they have ever met... From the awesome 2012 BBC Documentary Mr. Blue Sky: The Story Of Jeff Lynne.
What bigger compliment can you have than perform a Beatles song with the two surviving Beatles sat in front of you rocking along to your performance?
Don't forget life is short...Celebrate Legends while they are still alive. Jeff Lynne’s latest album From Out Of Nowhere was no. 1 on the UK charts in November 2019. Jeff Lynne's ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA will Tour again in 2022!

Concur. Jeff Lynn needs to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!
My Favourite Beatles song performed by amazing musicians. Dave Grohl was amazing but Jeff Lynne continues to be epic. Love them both. Cool factor 15 out of 10.
George Harrison said it many times, Jeff Lynne made him a better singer as he said in the following ineterview...No wonder why, Lynne has such a unique and beautiful voice. czcams.com/video/CETR-zQTzdc/video.html
Jeff Lynne (ELO, Traveling Wilburys, The Move and The Idle Race) is the most talented-best overall musician and producer ever, at the same time he is such a humble down to earth man with kindness. Please Tour with Jeff Lynne's ELO in 2022!!!

I'm seeing Jeff in Chicago - can't wait!
Jeff lynne and dave grohl, two people I never thought would share a stage.
How about Jeff Lynne and Prince! Jeff can do it all. He is such a fantastic Musician, a humble and kind man.
"if you're lonely, you can talk to me" the essence of Lennon's humanity and genius there.
Jeff Lynne is a British genius!! X
To me Jeff Lynne is the very best.
Jeff Lynne and Dave Grohl are 2 of the coolest gentlemen in rock n roll! 🕶🎸
How can match the Beatles??? They are the Beatles...great job...love both
I don't think that they were trying to match the Beatles, just showing them respect!
you cant say that while paul and ringo are sitting right there
@@peterparker642 no you can say that Jeff worked with Ringo ,McCartney ,Harrison ,and Lennon even called Lynne’s band the son of the Beatles cause of there great song Showdown
Amazing song from the Beatles 1968 and still sounds so good! Jeff Lynne is amazing as usual here.
Long live the great Jeff Lynne!
The movie 'Yellow Submarine' my favourite movie ever since I was a kid and my favourite characters were the Blue Meanies and they still are.
How great musicians, like David, Jeff and so many others, give so fantastically the uniqueness of the Beatles .... How the music of the four children from Liverpool, unites people .... Their love .... .Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for what you have given us and it is the journey to infinity ...
I just love watching Paul and Ringo having the most fun of all.
Jeff Lynne is a music Genius.
WHAT A GREAT PERFORMANCE OF A GREAT SONG, AND A GREAT PEACEFUL MAN, MAY MR. JOHN WINSTON LENNON R.I.P. HE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN, COUSIN FIGEL
The Beatles's songs are like love- always new.
Beatles's vocals on this song are tough to replicate but they did it justice.
Love how when Dave mentions Ringo drumming Ringo gets all excited
Dave and Jeff's vocal fit together perfectly in this song
Jeff Lynne is a Music Genius
He surely is. Don't get the respect for all of his accomplishments.
@@robertasirgutz9920 Well Jeff is a very humble man and low profile....He lets his music do the talking.
My dads favourite band my favourite band and my little daughters favourite band. That is what the beatles do to you. They get past down in generations. To be a beatles fan its in your genes!!!!!
Is that violet grohl?
I’m here for Jeff.and I wasn’t let down
Same here 👍😊
So am I!
JOHN LENNON REALLY WAS THE ULTIMATE SINGER
That riff is so amazing. I loved Hey Bulldog when the album first came out. I couldn’t get enough of it. I wasn’t crazy about the album but it was the only way you could get Bulldog.
El solo de guitarra es de Steve Lukather de Toto
@@ricardogarrido6445 Thanks Ray
Bulldog was huge, but the songs also included Harrison's oft overlooked "It's All Too Much" and I also liked the sly simplicity of McCartney's, "....can I take my friend to bed?" Beatles were the best, even in their minor masterpieces.
the album was worth it for "Bulldog,, All too much.. and only a northern song
Jeff Lynne is awesome. Great music guys, well done. X
Jeff Lynne can do it all, what a fantastic overall musician, songwriter-composer, arranger and producer.
Beatles were as close to perfection as it got.
dave grohl, you rule but you just desecrated one hell of a precious beatles song
I dont usually like perfomances of Beatle songs by other people because they never can capture the magic of the original. But this was really good.
Does this song fucking rock or what !!!!! R.I.P. John and thank you for another gem. You guys were the absolute best ! Icons !
As soon as Dave stops talking this video become fantastic!
Thanks to the genius Jeff Lynne for saving this performance.
One of the best opening riffs!
Jeff Lynne has to be the best and most versatile Musician on this planet.
We need more Dave and Jeff harmonizing
Lovely! The combo works terrific, and Lukathers solo just fits like a glove

I also love the Fanny´s cover version. This is Beatles´ best hard rock grunge tune. A true masterpiece. The way the piano walks up the scale in staccato fashion during the chorus followed by the heavy guitar riff on the bridge is...genius. So is the lyrics. True poetry. "Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles".... "Some kind of innocense is measured out in years"..."Some kind of solitude is measured out in you. You think you know me but you haven´t got a clew!"
man if you can get Ringo to grin and smile like that then you're definitely doing it right
Jeff Lynne is awesome!
I just love Jeff Lynne! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Ah Jeff Lynne...the man holds his own on and off stage, anywhere with any other great musician from any era. The man is a genius. Thank you Jeff 😊
So true!
The best of this performance is seeing Paul singing along - he loves The Beatles as the rest of us.
ELO and the FOO guy knocked it out...Thx
Long live Jeff Lynne’s Electric Light Orchestra!
These guys sing great together. Living legend Jeff Lynne can sing with anyone and make it all sound better. Great vocals by both guys here.
Mr Lynne definitely save the vocals for Grohl
Wow… what a great rendition

Really you don’t know who is playing bass?? Don Waz
I THOUGHT that was Frampton! Thanks for confirming!
@@jimcoleman598 Good one ! But it's really Greg Phillinganes.
Just imagine John Lennon considering this terrific song a “throwaway”. Beatles sure had high standards. This was actually recorded during the Revolver sessions along w Lady Madonna. U can hear the similar driving piano in both songs. Magnificent!
Recorded during the "Revolver" sessions? That can't be right. Summer/Fall 1966 and this was recorded early '68, right?
No. During 1966 b4 sgt peppers.
@@naphza1 February 11, 1968 according to " The Beatles Bible" website. Ian MacDonald pointed to this song as the recording where John started to emerge from his LSD period.
This was recorded before they went to India in '68-- when they came back from India , they recorded the White Album-- Hey Bulldog would have fit great on the White Album-- I imagine it on Side 3 of the LP
That can't be possible. Hey bulldog was recorded just before they went to India in 1968. After they returned they made the white album and lady madonna.
I just couldn't help but smile watching this video
AND ALL contemporaries of MINE.
WE WERE BLESSED !
Jeff Lynne can do it all! Long live Jeff Lynne's ELO! Please Tour again soon!
Two total Legends. Keep fighting for real music!
One of the best songs of the Beatles, all the attitude it's there
Why do Dave and Jeff’s voices work so well together
I agree. Jeff is AMAZING😍😍😍😍😍
I did see Jeff Lynne’s Electric Light Orchestra in New York 2016 Toronto in 2018 and 2019. They were voted the best live classic Rock Band in the world 🌎 and after seeing about more than 200 concerts in my life I totally agree. Let’s hope they tour one more time in 2022-2023. I will go wherever they play.🙏❤️👍
EVERY ARTIST SINCE HAS FOLLOWED GENIUS ,!! Thank You Thank You for ALWAYS being in MY LIFE Love Peace n RESPECT xxx John n George SHINE BRIGHT xxxx
jeff lynn is just brilliant. still great after all these years
