#MrBlueSky #ELO #Reaction
I bought this album when it was first released. Didn’t know what to expect. I was mesmerized through the entire album. As I watch the reactions of you young people (I’m 60 by the way) I am tickled to death to see how the reactions are as fresh as I remember mine being. Music today doesn’t compare to the elaborate production and attention to detail that Jeff Lynne envisioned in his music. Your reaction is priceless my friend. Keep ‘Em coming.
My older sister had this album. I'm pretty sure I listened to it more than she did. Seven year old me felt Mr Blue Sky in the core of my being. It's still my go-to when I need to find my happy.
I agree with you about the music we had compared to what’s produced now. I always hesitate to be just another older person (I’m 70) saying “They don’t make it like they used to!”, but I’m saying it. There’s just no comparison. Great comment 🌺✌️
Kind of reminds you how you felt when you used to listen to them. I watch way too many reactions, but I know exactly what your talking about. i don't go as far as saying they don't make them like they used to. I've been turned on to some new stuff that made me jump into a mosh pit way past my prime by watching reacts.
Totally agree.
Same here! Amazing first listen .. 🛸🛸
I grew up in the UK in the 60's and 70's... we used to take great music for granted, there always seemed to be another great band and more fabulous music coming out every week... happy days.
Mr Blue Sky was voted the "Happiest" song ever made!
All of ELO’s music is so happy. It always cheers me up😀
You were so mesmerized by the last instrumental part of the song that you didn’t recognize the “robotic voice” at the end (actually made with a vocoder) says “Please Turn Me Over”. Remember most of us when this was released had it as a double album so to hear side 4 we had to flip the album over on the record player
Yes, Jeff was apparently sent one of the first Vocoders to try - they were the first group to feature one in a mainstream hit!
This just always made.me smile ❤
Didn’t you love it!!!! I’ve always loved this song so much. ❤
This is my cheer up song when I'm feeling low. I watch the Live at Wembley 2017 version. It's just so joyful. All the band and the crowd were having such a great time. I saw them in April 2018. Happy Days!
ELO was so unique and just great!!!
Mr. Blue Sky has THE best outro of any rock and roll song! Ever!
I have always said, and I will always believe, this is the happiest song ever. Prove me wrong, what is happier?
That's what I've always said. Some people think it's Queen's Don't Stop Me Now but, nope, it's Mr. Blue Sky.
Walking On Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves is immensely happy as well
Your reactions are always heart felt and make me cry with joy .Please keep going 😎
"what are they doing???" They're going full orchestral pop, sonic symphonic Rock! Got to be my favorite part when ELO shines ❤
"Out of the Blue" is a masterpiece. The concert tour for "Out of the Blue" also brought much attention to this absolutely brilliant band.
In my mid 60"s and got this album when it first came out, love how you react to it considering its now 47 years since it came out.
Saw them at the Hollywood bowl in 2016. Awesome concert.
Happy, exuberant, life affirming, wonderfulness. And your reaction…. You lucky, lucky bastard, to get to hear this for the first time 😊 Mine was 45years ago aged 13
…….and this is why we love Jeff Lynne & E.L.O
Can you tell he loved the Beatles ! Feel the influence and structure of this track. ❤
“Here comes the Sun” 🌞
Moody Blues has symphonic rock ❤
Graduated in 73. Had lots of part time jobs that the majority of money went 6to college, I put aside a bit for me stuff. Me st5uff was a lot of albums which ELO was predominant. Spent hours and hours mesmerized by the music. Even now, Jeff Lynne is the GOAT.!!!
Certainly was a great time to be young! You’ve heard the orchestrate … easy when you have two cellos in the band!
Lucky enough to have this album on blue vinyl, from the 70s one of the great musicians of that time. We were very lucky❤
ELO has more songs that can get stuck in your head than almost any other band, including this song. Whether it wins or not, go ahead and react to the album. Other songs to check out is "Turn to Stone" (my personal favorite), "Don't Bring Me Down", "All Over the World", "Roll Over Beethoven", and so many others. Jeff Lynne is one of the greatest singer-songwriter, producer, arranger, and musicians.
Can't Get it Out of My Head. Sal needs to hear the Concerto at the very least, the whole album, of course! But, I honestly think he would go crazy for El Dorado.
@@lauraallen55 Agree.
ELO seemed to jump the shark when they did the Olivia Newton John collaboration but up through Discovery they were killer good. They (in my opinion) became a casualty of Lynne's overproduction on their later albums like Time. I loved the cut Twilight and a few others from that album but the production was so harsh it was hard to listen to the whole thing.
Only a British group could make a song that good about weather.
This is a band that’s even better live (see the live Wembley concert) … amazingly good and probably underrated … but not in the UK!
Very Beatle-esque! I was a frequent pop-radio listener when it was released, but don’t recall hearing it on the radio until years later on classic-rock radio stations in the 1980s.
My Mom was at school with them , should have gone for the live , you would love Aldarado album , and time ♥️♥️♥️♥️
So unique and absolutely masterful. Calms me so much. Thank you for playing this.
You REALLY need to watch this live version: "Jeff Lynne Mr Blue Sky for ' On Children In Need Rocks". There are lots of good live versions, but it is the BEST.
6:15 is wonderful !
The Moody Blues formed in 1964 . . . . . they were kinda/sorta symphonic rock . . . . .
I have been listening to this song for almost 50 years and the end still makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. If you listen to all four songs of "Concerto for a Rainy Day," it will help put this song in context.
Symphonic rock - try the Moody Blues (nights in white Sati live with an orchestra) from 1967 who used orchestral arrangements widely in their recording. The Moody Blues came from the same English Midlands city as ELO - Birmingham. Alternatively, you might try Procul Harem, with the Danish National Concert Orchestra in concert, with A Whiter Shade of Pale, also originally from 1967. I first saw ELO live in concert while at University in 1972, they were fantastic.
He did both songs with the orchestras.
@@jodij6280Electric Light Orchestra is exactly that, They had a range of Stings (cello, double bass and violins) as well as the traditional 'band' instruments so that in early concerts at least they played their sets with orchestral arrangements. I was lucky enough to see them several times in their early days, as they were from my home city.
@@TerryD15 They're going to be on tour in the U.S. later this year.
Compulsory smile! Jeff Lynne is both a genius and incredibly prolific.
I managed to see Jeff Lynn at the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury about 5-6 years ago, and it's still one of the BEST gigs I've ever witnessed.
He (and ELO) just write some of the most uplifting music, with the unique strings, synths, and other sounds.
It's a combination of sound you don't really hear anywhere else. Amazing.
It was quite muddy that year, but most people in the field were dancing and moving around.
There was an older guy about 20ft in front of me who was really going for the dance moves. It was great to see. lol
Oh, Jeff Lynne was at Glasto in 2016, so 7 years ago now. :o
We saw "ELO" (some other band members) at Rewind 80s festival as well, about ten years ago.
The entire crowd there were dancing when Mr Blue Sky played.
No this wasn't the first instance of symphonic rock the Moody Blues combined with an orchestra in 1967 to create the album "Days of Future Past". A concept album about a day from morning to night. The best songs on the album are 'Tuesday Afternoon' and 'Nights in White Satin'. The Beatles also dabbled in using symphonic rock on several songs. But I think you are accurate in calling ELO a symphonic rock group after all they had a permanent 3 man string section in their group.
Cool reaction.
The best version is the one that they did at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame along with Evil Woman.
The only thing that could make this song sound any better and does is to listen to the entire concerto. It's definitely one of the best 18 minutes one can experience. Thanks man. Always a pleasure.
Love your reaction- hopefully it's real!! Loved ELO back in the day- I was 15 years old when this song was released (1977). I had a record player in my bedroom listening to the out of the blue album- good times!!!!
being the last track on the third side
it says at the end
"PLEASE TURN ME OVER "
the bell type sound
is actually a fire extinguisher
once you realise you hear it on other tracks
{:-) PAV UK
If you liked the orchestral aspect of this, listen to their 'Tightrope'
Got to see it done live
Everyone I knew had this album on tape it was the cool tape to have playing in your car over and over my god brings back great memory’s petrol was under a pound a gallon
Very underrated band. Great songs but never had a #1hit. Still one of my favorite bands. ❤
Yes the Light shines On One by the ELO
Actually, by 1978, symphonic rock was being shelved. Check out pink floyd, chicago, the who, steely dan, and many others from the early 70s
I wish I could press the LIKE button over and over again! I believe it was once voted the Happiest Song ever! ELO have never made a bad record. I still have this album - but it never feels old. If you watch it again, watch the LIVE version. Jeff Lynne is amazing!
I think symphonic rock probably began 11 years earlier with The Moody Blues' "Days Of Future Passed" album in 1967
So so so lovely. Can’t fault this ❤
The reason it wasnt more popular is because there was so much great music back then. Should check out ELO live at Wembly with Living Thing
The entire concert, actually.
Having come out of the Beatles era, ELO just took up that space for me. You just don’t hear attention to production like this anymore. So much detail and thought. From Roy Wood and The Move to Jeff Lynn, pure magic, or maybe Strange Magic ?
Jeff Lynn lived next door to be in the 70s , I should of took him up on the date❤
The robotic voice was Jeff's ode to a childhood album called "Sparky and the Orchestra" or something similar which our family also had. The instruments spoke to Sparky filtered through their particular sound. He reproduced that sound really well.
Overture 10538 is one of my favourites by ELO. Very moody. It's also sampled by Paul Weller on "Changing Man", which is also well worth a listen - as is Paul Weller's body of work in general.
Has to be the greatest song ever.
I'd love to see your reaction to Lea Salonga performing "Everything's Coming Up Roses" in Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends! It's different from what people usually expect from her, and she knocks it out of the park.
❤️❤️❤️
What a journey
Mr. Blue Sky The story of Jeff Lynne and ELO
Did you know those last words were please turn me over. This was the last track on side one
Early CHICAGO could be classified Symphonic Rock.
Now you can understand why we were so frustrated. I suggest the 'Live at Wembley Stadium 2017' video for a live reaction. Lots of crowd shots. A backup singer makes the clanging sound by hitting a fire extinguisher with a drum stick. Jeff couldn't find the sound he wanted so they did some experimenting and he like that sound the best.
Listen to the whole album , it's pure genius ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
He listened to it on Patreon.
if you want to do a 2nd reaction, do the "Live at Hyde Park" video. (2014, I think)
I cannot stop crying with happiness watching your reaction to this song. It's such a joy to watch another person hear this gorgeous masterpiece!
This entire song paints a picture. At the end you literally feel the stormy clouds breaking up and nothing but blue skies left with the E.L.O. ship coasting.
Best description of the ending 👍
metaphorically maybe lol! But yes the imagery is well portrayed. I think a lot of Jeff's songs are like that. A lot of expression.
If that is true, why does it say it is lightning outside? That is what that voice says.
The vocoder voice at the end says 'please turn me over'@@deesmith3207
I really think this is the only pop song that approaches "Bohemian Rhapsody" in terms of operatic drama, complexity and variation with the same composition. Maybe "Nights in White Satin" and "Day in the Life," but it's a small sample size.
And Funeral for a Friend by Elton John.
That's a great little playlist right there
That is a taste of why the album, Out of the Blue, is a masterpiece. There were some other tunes from this album that tended to get more air time than Mr. Blue Sky, when the album was first released. But in the years since, the song was featured in a few movies and it renewed people's interest. It's as popular today than ever before. It was also voted the most happy or upbeat song of all time, I believe. And it is. It's very difficult to not have a smile on your face and to move along with the tempo during this tune. Simply put, Jeff is a genius.
Absolutely! I can never be sad when I hear this song.
Right!
Sunny 😁 song sonny heart ♥
Seeing a man get as emotional over orchestral music like I did when this came out when I was a teenager made my year! Thanks for the reaction.
This was me at 14. My generation were spoiled. Tears in my eyes watching this. Groovy.
I was 24 when this came out. Brilliant.
The 3rd side of Out of the Blue double album is perfection of what ELO was. The Concerto for a rainy day is perfectly produced, each song is unique yet part of a whole that is an emotional rollercoaster, culminating in one of the happiest song on the planet with Mr Blue Sky. You must do this album!! It's my favorite album of all time. Just a masterpiece!
I have always had a fondness for "Jungle". But lots of fans don't get it.
@@chrismoule7242 love Jungle! It was the first song I really enjoyed off OOTB when I first listened to it.
It’s hard to believe at times that most of your generation has not heard this wonderful music that we grew up with. We took for granted that it would always be there going forward but alas it is not. We had the best music in the 70’s and 80’s. Thanks for sharing.
This was voted happiest song ever and I don’t disagree! Smiling so broadly my cheeks hurt and singing along every time I hear it since it came out. Just brilliant.
LOL, I just commented "I have always said, and I will always believe, this is the happiest song ever. Prove me wrong, what is happier? ", then read your comment. How perfect lol
Welcome to one of the most underrated groups in history and officially Mr blue sky is the ultimate feel good song ever
ELO was the first Live Rock band with strings...Cellos violins. They created their own sound with fantastic orchestrations and harmonies. Best band ever musically.
This has to one of the happiest sings ever. Jeff Lynne is a genius. You were definitely right to go for the studio version. It was played a lot in the UK and considered a 70s classic.
Mr Blue Sky is amongst my all time favorite songs.
Your reaction is epic. 🙌
Amazing songwriting, and you would not regret going back immediately and listening to the entire concerto. It's meant to be listened to as a whole piece, telling a story along the way. Excellent reaction as always!
I just love watching people's reaction to this song for the first time. And the good thing is, you'll never get tired of hearing it.
Mr Blue Sky voted to happiest song ever.
I'm 61 years old & elo is my favourite band I listen to them every day😂
You've experienced the best song ever written. Music is not just something you hear. It's more something you feel. This tune fills me with joy and fun.
Facts ... I feel blessed my parents allowed me and my sister and brother to listen to whatever music we wanted to...
Do a reaction of Turn to Stone. Watch the Wembly concert version. Look at the size of that crowd. No one is sitting. Look at the joy on their faces as they are singing along with the songs that they love.
Jeff Lynne is a musical GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loved your reaction! A SECOND reaction would be WONDERFUL!
I love this guy's reaction. It is exactly how I feel because the music is brilliant and it's happy we don't hear stuff like this today I'm 74 years old and I miss intelligent, creative, beautiful lyrics, enchanting melodies and complex themes that makes you feel something. This is a brilliant brilliant group of musicians that should've gotten much more recognition than they ever did
ELO is so painfully underrated in the pantheon of rock and roll. So far ahead of the game. My guess as to why it wasn't more popular is due to disco being a thing during their most prolific moment in music.
This song gives me a very Beatles-esque feel to begin with, and then blows me away with the arrangement and orchestration. Jeff Lynne is a musical genius, and any of his work is worthy of a reaction IMHO.
I'm 67 and.ELO songs have always been one of my favorite ! Especially this one with Strange Magic, Livin' Thing. Evil Woman oh yes!! The 70's were the best time to be a teenager.
I was blessed to see ELO perform live in Milwaukee, WI when this album first came out in 1978. An amazing concert complete with a state-of-the-art laser light show to complement their stage performance. Best concert I ever attended, just happened to be my very first at 17 years of age. Jeff Lynne is an absolute genius in the entertainment music industry.
When John Lennon was asked which musical direction the Beatles would have taken, had the not split up, he said that they "would probably ended up sounding like ELO".
Great reaction.
The "Please Turn Me Over" comes from the album. This is the last track of side 3 (a full Concerto) and needs you to play side 4.
I hope you know how much joy and light you are putting in the world with your reactions!
Mr. Blue Sky should have done better on the charts, I agree, but it had a lot of worthy competition when it was released. It was an awesome time for a music loving teenager, like myself, to exist. Just a few of the singles also released in January 1978: "Le Freak" (Chic), "Reminiscing" (Little River Band), "Kiss You All Over" (Exile), and "Hopelessly Devoted to You" (Olivia Newton-John) from the blockbuster hit movie "Grease." The Moody Blues was ahead of ELO with their inclusion of orchestral music to their songs in the late 1960's. The Beatles also included orchestral sounds in some of their music, whom Jeff Lynne has a huge appreciation for. I am so glad you reacted to this!
Yes, ELO were heavily influenced by The Beatles album Sgt. Pepper and the Lonely Hearts Club Band and The Beach Boys album Pet Sounds. Some other early symphonic rock songs are Nights In White Satin by The Moody Blue and A Whiter Shade of Pale by Procol Harum. Pink Floyd and Yes also progressed from there along with ELO.
This song got renewed interest when it was the opening song of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2, with young Groot dancing amidst a monstrous battle.
Loved the reaction... it's impssible to listen to this song and not have a huge happy grin.
I am now 60 years old and ELO always was the greatest band of all time to me, even greater or at least as good as the Beatles and finally here is a young man recognizing the greatness of ELO. I exploded into tears again (as so often before) watching you, listening to this song. Thank you for another wonderfull moment with this music! By the way, there are quite many more songs from ELO, that would be worth listening to. Mr. Blue Sky is just one fantastic song in an ocean of ELO gems.
How about Ticket to the moon oder Twenty first Century man oder Last train to London or steppin out or fire on high or tightrope or or or or.... I would higlhy apreciate you doing more from my favorite band. But thank you for this.
He's done several ELO songs, including Last Train to London.
ELO such talent ...and this is the most joyous song ever xx
🇬🇧 Are they amazing or what? Lead singer/songwriter/producer, Jeff Lynn is a GENIUS plain and simple. 💕🩵🎶🎼🌟
The happiest song in the world
100%
If you're having a less than perfect day, I defy you to listen to this song and tell me your day isn't just a little bit better. Even if just for the moment. 😁
ELO's Mr Blue Sky is one of my all time favourite tracks... It's upbeat for the most part... But right at the end... The song mellows right down... And almost puts you into a trance of calming musical waves... I adore listening to ELO... They've made some amazing music over the years... If i had a choice of only one concert to attend before i died... An ELO concert would be hands down my number one choice... They're all wonderful artists and musicians.
The live Wembley or bust concert is the way to react to ELO..Never sounded better.
Turn to Stone is amazing.Please react 😊
I agree...go to Live at Wimberley!! If you want to see masters at work.
I went to see them in concert when i was young...ok 20s...was the most incredible night...this song is my favorite but sweet talkin woman is big also...concerts used to be affordable...check out other songs from them...enjoying your beegees videos also...they were beyond incredible...it's so fun watching you all enjoy the music I grew up with...it was really the best time for music...and cars...
Yep - went to see them with my wife in 1982 in B'ham - bloody cold but we loved it.
