- Electric Light Orchestra live at Wembley Statium in 1978. This was the tour when they had the flying saucer that would open in to a stage and then hovered above the stage during the show. Roll Over Beethoven!!

Good lord Melvyn on the Piano is crazy good ! He also did the tap piano right at the very start of Wild West Hero..
FOLKS....This is the Electric Light Orchestra.....I love!!!! This group will never be beat by anyone...BRAVO GUYS!!! The BEST of the BEST. Jeff and Kelly....on guitars and vocals.....Bev hammering the drums....he is magnificent...Richard on keyboard...Melvyn on cello and keyboard....Mik, Mike and Hugh!!!
Absolutely!! I couldn't have put it better myself
Damn straight Donna the definitive ELO lineup for
sure
Kaminski is in his element ! 😁😆👍👍
Damn right Donna.This is MY ELO!!!,😁😁😁👍👍
It's the craziest thing I've ever seen at Madison Square Garden, and it was just like this.
September, 1978, Philly Spectrum, I was one of the audio engineering contractors who wired the strings section; we each received a $100.00 tip at the conclusion of the two concerts. One of my best day's EVER!!
AMStationEngineer Hey Can I ask you some questions about what it was like working with the group ?
i dont know if you are still here...but did the band use a backing track at this concert? i know that they did during most of this tour...and it's pretty clear at points that the string section is miming playing.
@@thewkovacs316 No backing tracks except for one song which echoed too much in the fiver glass spaceship stage. It was a tiny portion of Standin in the rain at the start. Everything else was live and outstanding. One of the best Tour ever!
@@classicrockfan8034 that's cool.
I saw them the previous July in Birmingham, AL. Same tour. Spoiled me for concerts.
And $100 was a lot of cash back then. I had to work overtime just to take home $80 in '75.
I was at the very front smack in the middle before gorilla bouncers and security...I could almost touch their shoes if I wanted. 1974 Eldorado Tour...absolutely BLEW my mind..
By far the coolest, most badass string section in the history of music...!!
these are the musicians of elo i'll always remember..at the top of their game
Among all the legendary bands I have seen in my life, Electric Light Orchestra is the best live Classic Rock Group ever!
This was the best incarnation of ELO!
They ROCKED.
My brother went "AWOL" from basic training in 1978 to see ELO..he said it was totally worth it :-)
I saw this show with my husband at the time, we were like 17 or 18 had to walk to the venue in Ft. Worth, Tx. and met a dude walking to the same show, he was military and ended being our roommate for a while. Maybe???? I think name was Rick??? It was a crazy time,,, lots of paper dot blowin our minds!!
R.I.P. Hugh McDowell. 31st of July 1953 to 6th of November 2018.
No one will ever come close to the sheer brilliance of this group. Could listen all day every day. Wish l got to see this line up but still thank gog for TH-cam
Yep. The classic lineup. Happy days
I saw this tour, July 1978, in Birmingham, AL. This and Heart, the next month at the same venue, are my two favorite shows.
I was at this concert
Love it love it love it!
My favorite ELO ever.
Wish I'd gotten a chance to see them in concert, but YT works, too.
Whenever I hear it, I just gotta dance. Of course, if I danced now like I did wasassssy back then, I'd break a hip. 🙄
But, I can still cut a few moves, and ELO keeps me young. 😊
Thanx muchly for sharing, kind person who posted this little treasure!
To ELO, thanx so very very much, gentle men, for the magic, music, and memories .
This has to be the best live version of this song I’ve ever seen and I found it in a video I had. Fantastic version.
The "fusion" concert aka face the music tour...roll over Beethoven is great...
The best live band i have ever seen! And i have seen lots of them. Long live Jeff Lynne and ELO!
This is the tour where they were inside of a spaceship that opened up with them playing inside. With the lights, lasers and smoke, it appeared as a true spaceship. Greatest stage concept at that time. Bands in the 70's just played on a open stage. One of their best tours before the heavy pop music they did in the early 80's. Jeff Lynne rocks!
I saw this show in Ft. Worth, Tx . Damn what a good time!!!
Absolute pain in the ass the spaceship was though, ages to set up, needed loads of trucks to transport and was a nightmare to play under as it severely affected the monitor sound, add to that them having double the normal amount of lights and you also got tuning problems with the instruments.
The monitor sound under the spaceship was so bad they had to have a backing track to play to as it's the only way they could stay in time.
I was there!
We loved it though!
Saw them do it live more than once. They give the impression they are just clowning around but the reality was they were never out of time. True musical genius by the whole group.
This, to me, was The Electric Light Orchestra. This song really was what they were all about. Mixing Rock and Roll with classical overtones. This was all gone when Discovery was released, and Lynne stripped down the band. I thought they were great up to and through Out Of The Blue. After that, they were still a good band, but pretty much became trend followers.
Michael Kozischek I'll be the the opposition here, discovery was equally when of my favourite albums along with out of the blue and a new world record. Whilst you are right, songs like don't bring me down, last train to London and shine a little love (which by the way are some of my favourite songs of all time) are DEFINITELY aimed to be "radio" songs as they call them. They are still Jeff Lynne masterpieces (I am also 18 years old so this may be a poor opinion but never the less). I grew up in a time where no one knows about ELO but all of his songs are classics in my book
Yep these 7 were ELO.
I had a copy of a copy of this concert video back in the day. The quality of this clip is so much better! Please post more from this show if you have it!
Chris Hunter I have the remastered copy of this concert on DVD f###ng awesome ,, and the old VCR copy I got yrs ago when ELO pt2 came to Australia...
...absolutely phantastic!! I saw them on this very Europe-Tour in Bremen in Stadtarena , unforgettable : ELO at their great time with all their rock-symphonic energy!!
I get really disappointed Jeff taking all the credit about ELO . people fell in love with this music not only about he composing the music but the whole concept of it. thanks to all these guys who contributed on this band.
I started hearing Elo because of Melvyn, and I do prefer this era because the chemical they had was unique. watching Richard and Melvyn at the piano keyboard was unique!
Most underrated group ever ! Way ahead of their time. Should have been in the hall way before 2017.
3:49 when Melvyn Gale plays keyboard instead of cello.
The ELO SpaceShip! My God, what a show! They came to Greensboro NC in 78. I couldn't believe I was going at the time because I couldn't afford it. I was only 15 and wasn't working. I remember being in my room for hours sulking because I couldn't go. Then my younger brother ran into our apartment and yelled, "I found a ticket!" I said, "What, you found a ticket?" "Where? "I asked. He said, "on the ground"! I kept thinking, he's BS ing me but not to worry, just get to the concert. I went by myself and had a blast.
Many years later I asked him where did you get the ticket, cause you were only 10 years old?
He said my sister and brother in law purchased it and told him not to tell me where it came from. ELO dropped it from the sky.
Original ELO was fantastic and Jeff Lynne was and is a true genius. His new ELO is excellent as well . Saw them twice recently and was knocked out again. One of the beat groups and concerts ever.
Best concert I ever attended either 78 or 79 in Knoxville Tn. Huge fan for many years, my favorites.
All for one for one and one for all. A great balanced band with all of equal value. What we would pay to see this line up again? It's a great shame that Kelly is gone. ELO without Kelly is like you-know-who without Lennon.
Hugh is gone too, he died in November 2018 from cancer aged just 65. R.I.P. Kelly and Hugh.
Same...no Kelly and Jeff...no elo...just how I feel
love the energy
Słynny koncert zespołu Electric Light Orchestra live in Wembley z 1978 roku z trasy koncertowej Out of the blue tour . Ten koncert był charytatywny , na tym koncercie była rodzina królewska .
God bless Kelly groucutt and Hugh McDowell?
Fantastic, wonderful 👏with Band ELO the best
Holy hell that ufo stage is gorgeous 🛸 🤟
I was beginning my college career in 1978 playing my trumpet and loving the advance of this kind of rock music. It was a great time to appreciate ELO. One thing, check out the light show arrangements. At the time, that was state of the art. The beginning of "the space ship" to come. Very cool stuff. They were always striving to making themselves better. Thanks, Jeff Lynne
Congrats on the new family member! Beautiful pup, and Shepherd fam!
These guys are so great you can hear them play through a change that normally would have been a synthesizer break, with just a little confusion at 2:52-2:57, and then it's completely back on track.
A lot of those synthesizer breaks from the studio version of this song got dropped for the live version so the solo sections could be extended. ELO is a great band. Any band that incorporated strings has to be.
I love this track, what a crowd pleaser, gets you going every time, great instrumentals, bloody fantastic 🎻🎸❤️❤️
wow, that brought back memories. Saw this concert at Wembly. Thanks for posting that

Jeff and Kelly....on guitars and vocals.....Bev hammering the drums....he is magnificent...Richard on keyboard...Melvyn on cello and keyboard....Mik, Mike and Hugh!!!
Wow, just wow! This is rockn roll as it was ment to be!
Saw them in Madison, WI 1978! Too stoned to remember much!
Słynny koncert zespołu Electric Light Orchestra z 1978 roku na stadionie Wembley ,mam go w wersji DVD i VHS , lubię oglądać obydwie wersje tego koncertu.
Loved it! Best version I have heard. Raw, emotive, and joyous. Absolutely captures the feel of this era of music. Today’s production qualities are amazing. Sound systems lack nothing. But we had what we had in the formative years that became known as Classic Rock. This performance demonstrates that we miss the same feel and sound today. Thanks for making this available!!!
Just so we are clear...I played this over the PA system on a FTX at Ft. Bragg, NC in 1977, instead of the desired reveille. Even the Officers were jammin'. I didn't even get in trouble!
They sure knew how to jam.
greate stuff, beams my back to the 80s
I always play the cello upside down!!!
Whew!! Smoking tunage 🎸🎻🎹🥁🎹🎤🔊🔊🔊
I saw them on this tour, at Wembley, but dont think it was this night. They had a support band that were really good! When they played Roll Over Beethoven as the final number, the support band came on and played with them... imagine thst driving, relentless riff with 2 bass players, 2 drummers, 4 guitarists (!!), and then taking turns playing lead....it was one of my most memorable concert experiences.... wow!
Best Band in the world! Long live Jeff Lynne's ELO!!!
Simply the best
Bloody marvellous.
Nice
You can t see it properly but the laser show was fantastic. I was at same show at Rotterdam Ahoy. I paid DFL 17,50 about 8 euro's now :(
Glad I found this clip. I'm hoping to find more from this tour. I saw them in Madison with a band called Trixter in Aug '78, just 2 weeks afer seeing the Eagles at County Stadium...They got kind of a bad rap during this tour because they had used some prerecorded samples during their shows.
I can hear the violin but not the cellos 😞 too loud bass, guitar, drums, and keyboard...
I was there
Sublime
FANTASTICO !!
Saw it. It was spiritual!
Ця версія найкраща у їх виконанні.
Michael de alberkerque or what ever his name was lol had a brilliant singing voice in the 2nd line up of Elo despite his posh voice
Michael de Albuquerque released two excellent solo albums after he left ELO, they are now as rare as Rocking Horse poo. As far as I know they've never been released on cd, but I might be wrong. I had both of them in the mid 1970's, unfortunately they were accidentally thrown away when I moved house in 1979. Mike's albums were "We May Be Cattle But We've All Got Names", 1973, RCA Victor SF 8383, and "Stalking The Sleeper", 1976, Warner Bros K56276. Some of the tracks are on TH-cam. Mike reunited with Mik Kaminski in his band "Violinski".
Not many Bands as polished as ELO.....not very many at all.....
RIP the real ELO
Best thing to come out of shard end. Kro blues
Possibly the only person in the whole building not having a good time here is Jeff Lynne
Jeff is not keen on touring at all. He prefers to stay in the studio, and work on his songs until they're absolutely perfect. He also likes producing, and he feels he belongs in the studio.
@@groundhog713 I know
i gotta get 2set violin to watch this vid and see if they can tell if the band is using a backing track
Awesome performance.
E.L.O. is and always will be my favorite band of all time. The ELO before Jeff split the band was the best. Bev an underrated drummer, Kelly on base and Tandy on piano and synths, the cellists Melvin and hugh were brilliant live (not forgetting Mik and his blue violin). It would be brilliant if todays cellists and violinist in ELO was as active as they were. This energy is whats missing in ELO today.... not saying ELO today isnt good, just not as good as they were. Mind you any band thats been going this long wont be the same as they were years ago.
This was supposed to be a tongue-in -cheek character poking fun at Beethoven’s symphonic masterpiece, the 5th Symphony we all like as previous generations. They also did a similar thing to Edvard Grieg’s Peer Gynt- Hall of the Mountain King as it was being terrorized by a bunch of dancing trolls( I don’t mean You Tube ‘trolls’ of course).
Goosebumps :)
I love this but can someone explain the weird look on Bev's face at 3:58. Did someone fart? Because the piano sounds great! Two accomplished pianists!
Richard Tandy (in white) and Melvin Gale (in black).
I think he was laughing at Melvyn playing the piano with Richard.
Trippin on shrooms- GREAT SHOW
1:10 1:11 1:12 1:13 1:14 Jeff Lynne Is Going Nice
I Think You
June 2, 1978
The producer/video editor for this should've been tried for war crimes
You mean someone didn't like this!!!!!
Jeff is not as great as he thinks he is without those other guys.
to the level of Deep Purple in his concerts without a doubt
მაგარია!
ROK YA FUKN SOX OFF
🎸🔊 💃💃💃 🙏
Never will be ELO again show them to your children now
Video guy: they're amazing. Make aure nobody csn see what they're doing in case someone steals their powers..
3:18 se le daño xd
The best live band i have ever seen! And i have seen lots of them. Long live Jeff Lynne and ELO!
Nice
