Very early ELO when Jeff was still finding the group’s sound. Two cellos and one violin were overdubbed to make the “orchestra.” The next album used a full orchestra and was a step forward to the “classic sound.” It’s too bad you didn’t react to the hit “Showdown” from the same album. Though still raw sounding, it’s a classic grooving banger.
Mizy & Meezy, from OUT OF THE BLUE you should react to, *"Big Wheels",* which on the album comes right after, "Standin' In The Rain", a song you've already done and loved. *"Big Wheels"* has everything you want: Jeff's iconic voice, Bev's hallmark drum sound, a gorgeous melody, and strings galore. Oh, plus the spaceship on the cover! ps~"New World Rising/Ocean Breakup Reprise", is early ELO when Jeff was still experimenting with their sound. Having said that, I love the song.
The last tour was 2019 in the US and Canada (I saw them in Toronto), there was supposed to a European tour in 2020 but it was postponed because of Covid, and he hasnt toured since.
This is Early ELO from their 3rd Album. They were still trying to find their sound but a few of their earlier songs like " Roll Over Beethoven" was one of their earlier bigger hits. Maybe you should listen to that. Great Reaction Guys
You got it right when you suspected it was part of something bigger. It is the end of a 6 piece suite and indeed early ELO. It's sublime when listened in its entirety. The violin sound is an electric violin - and yes it's not classic commercial ELO as it is pre-orchestra. You were brave to do this but try the whole suite without the pressure of needing to react. You may be surprised at the cinematic journey.
"Showdown", "Dreaming of 4000" and "Bluebird is Dead" songs are from the same album, i recommend those, Showdown was John Lennon's favourite ELO song. This album is from 1973, so therefore before the ELO's really big popularity. In 1974 their production quality really jumped when they released the album "Eldorado"
This was early ELO, when they only had 2 cellos and a violin, after this album they used full orchestras ....... Ocean Breakup (Reprise) is the reprise of th album opener........ These are the last 2 songs of a suite of 5 songs........ pity you guys didnt get it, this album is brilliant.....
Please react to the live, long drum version of SOUL SACRIFICE at the 1969 Woodstock music festival. It was where Santana performed for the first time to a large audience and the first time Carlos Santana introduced Afro/Latino fusion sound to the world and the world loved it
Hi Guy I love watching your reaction to Pink Floyd & ELO as im in a pink floyd tribute band and play lead guitar, but you need to check out Heart Stairway to Heaven live at the Kennedy Centre it will blow your mind
So many reactors fixate on Out of the Blue and A New World Record. Both are excellent albums and deserve recognition. However, ELO have so many other great albums to listen to. Consider adding Eldorado, Face the Music, Discovery and Time albums along with A New World Record and Out of the Blue as the albums that chart the rise of ELO. Some would argue that Discovery and especially Time depart from the lush ELO sound, but they are both excellent albums. If sticking to Out of the Blue for now, you can't go wrong, but I'd highlight Sweet Talkin' Woman, steppin' Out, Big Wheels or Wild West Hero. Other great tracks are Summer and Lightning, and Jungle if you are looking for something a bit different but still classically ELO.
The ELO record On The Third day was EARLY ELO . Released in 1973. I believe Roy Wood was still with them at the time . The Early ELO was VERY progressive.
This is early E L O . On the 3rd Day was the 3rd album. The big hits were MaMaMa Belle and Showdown. My favorite from this album is an instumental called Daybreaker. The first four albums (No Answer, II, Third Day & Eldorado) didnt have the same pop sound as later ones like Out of The Blue & New World Record. When I was younger I didnt care for the first 4 , but as Ive gotten older, I've grown to appreciate them. I think your expressions in this video echoed that.
I’ve always like elo on the third day Bev hits the drums on this album same on eldorado. Can definitely hear the bass. Michael de alberquerque played bass and was or still is an excellent blues singer
Perhaps you should have pinned your comment on the Turn to Stone video where you asked, "Reply what the next reaction should be"....that way you wouldn't have to scroll through the comments, you could just look in the one place you asked us to put our recommendations.🤔
WHOA, guys! Saying early PF is bad just cost you at least one like. In the beginning, there was Pink Floyd, and it was Barrett. As for the reaction well, not impressive, is maybe an understatement.
Sweet Talkin’ Woman is an ELO must from Out of the Blue! It’s got it all and I guarantee it will get you guys in the groove!

"Big Wheels" has become my favorite ELO song!
@@williamwoods7374 It is a thing of beauty.
Yo Cosmo Kramer - check it out. We uploaded our first song. Come take a listen.

It’s 1973 iirc. Playing electric violin and electric cellos for that unique sound.

Great to see you back reacting to more E.L.O. gents. "New World Rising / Ocean Break Up" from 1973. I loved it then and still 🙏😊👍❤️
This was early ELO, when they only had 2 cellos and a violin, after this album they used full orchestras ....... Ocean Breakup (Reprise) is the reprise of th album opener........ These are the last 2 songs of a suite of 5 songs........ pity you guys didnt get it, this album is brilliant.....
You still have the classic hits Telephone Line, Don’t Bring Me Down and Livin’ Thing to sample. They have the classic sound you live do much.

This is from their 3rd album called On the Third Day. So it was a very early album from 1973

Top marks for your insights here. If you do listen to the album from the start you'll find this as track 4.
His peak was yet to come.
Do Across The Border. No reactions to this as far as I can see. Another suggestion is Believe Me Now/Stepping Out. All are from OOTB.
Next "Telephone Line" By ELO , to remember old girlfriend.
Bye
The ELO record On The Third day was EARLY ELO . Released in 1973. I believe Roy Wood was still with them at the time . The Early ELO was VERY progressive.
No, Roy was only with the band for the 1st album. On The Third Day is their 3rd album.
This is early E L O . On the 3rd Day was the 3rd album. The big hits were MaMaMa Belle and Showdown. My favorite from this album is an instumental called Daybreaker.

Listen to Jungle off Out of the Blue to see what you think.
Young fella was right it was early ELO building towards their heyday. Still great early albums🤷
I’ve always like elo on the third day Bev hits the drums on this album same on eldorado. Can definitely hear the bass. Michael de alberquerque played bass and was or still is an excellent blues singer
Early ELO. Still trying to perfect the orchestral sound at this point. Some good stuff on the album though. Lots of great stuff still to come.
Question : Did you ever listen to Smokie? If you didn’t, than it’s about time. One of the greatest dancebands from the 70-80-90’s

Pitchfork to the one who requested this. 😅
Didn't pick up "On The Third Day" for cronoligical discography. Instinct wasn't to on that day.
It's early lads...Earlier than A new world record. 73 I think. Early ELO was quite experimental. Be prepared for that!
WHOA, guys! Saying early PF is bad just cost you at least one like. In the beginning, there was Pink Floyd, and it was Barrett.

Elo 1973
...Before they ever used a full orchestra, just the band members on this.
