Old age has the advantage that I got to hear all three of them live in the various bands from The Move, to ELO and Wizzard. Only shame is they did not stay together.
I have seen both live too! For some reason the Wizzard concert was horrible. They came out unprepared and obviously had been partaking in Adult beverages (or worse). After about 30 minutes they were done.... Luckily, the supporting band was good so it wasn't a bad night. I saw the Kinks too and Ray and Dave were on top form, great concert!
Individually, they were both spectacularly talented. Together, they would have been unstoppable. I love Jeff's voice; Roy's was one of the greatest in rock history.
What an amazing voice this man has ❤ i grew up in the 70,s listening to roy but aprieciate him more now as i was a silly teenager and now see what amazing musician he is and song writer ❤
This song was the first I heard from the Move back in the day and I really liked it. It must have also been one of their last before ELO was formed. They are a bunch of excellent musicians, which seemed to be par for the course in the UK in those days with so many great and innovative bands emerging all within a short period of time.
I've loved this ever since it came out. How can anyone who loves pop Rock not want to dance when this comes on? Boy does Jeff Lynne look so young (which he was of course). I'd love to see them together. Message From The Country is a classic..
Trevor Burton and Ace Kefford are still alive and they founded the Move inviting Bev Bevan,Roy Wood & Carl Wayne to join them in a Brum Supergroup after a chat with David Bowie in a Birmingham Nightclub.
@@brigader4heart272 Yes, it was the Cedar Club in 1965, it was before he became David Bowie, the was performing at the club as Davy Jones and the Lower Third. He changed his name to David Bowie in January 1966 to avoid being confused with Davy Jones who was in The Monkees.
@@davidmacgregor5193 back in the early 60s there was a guy called Jim Onslow who lived at the bottom of the road that i lived in and he played Bass in a group called Gerry Levene & the Avengers and i often saw the Bands Van outside his home,Roy Wood also played in the band for a short while,when the band slit up Jim joined Denny Laine and the Diplomats and the Drummer was Bev Bevan,the Van the Band travelled around in was then parked outside Jims with the bands name emblazoned on the side.
First heard this on a Sunday whilst the Top 40 was on the radio whilst my mum did the ironing in the kitchen. I was probably playing in the garden out the door.
The Move had great songs. Vastly underrated as a group, as is Roy Wood as a composer. Could you imagine anyone today getting anywhere near his musical output. No.
The 10538 overture for me was their finest piece in these early days though directly after when wood decided to create the electric light orchestra. Yes, the ELO project was Roy woods idea where Jeff Lynne had inherited it from to then continue with its evolving into music on a much broader spectrum and on a much wider front and audience.
I went to see Bev Bevan and his band last night [18/9]. It was a brilliant night...Bev is still a fantastic drummer. They sang a mix of Move, Black Sabbath,ELO and Beatles songs and others too. They were very accomplished. I met Bev after the show and shook one of those magical hands! I gave him portrait I had drawn of him and talked a short while. He signed my Discovery album and gave me a kiss on the cheek...I went home very happy!
Nice story except why would you buy the Discovery album? What a piece of rubbish. If you had said Eldorado, Face the Music, A New World Record, Out of the Blue, or even On the Third Day I would have been impressed but not Discovery. I would be embarrassed to own the album that contains The Diary of Horace Wimp.
@@glenbard657 I have all those albums too and every album they have recorded since 1971, when it was just Jeff, Roy and Bev in ELO. Plus I have some rare signed vinyl factory samples and collector's pieces. You are entitled to your opinion, of course but I disagree with you and so does Bev Bevan, he said it was one of his personal favourites.
I thought it was an LWT production because of the white background (like on Who Do You Do?) and the frame at the back where people sat (like on Supersonic).
Jeff Lynne is still rocking big in America this 2024....all in a position to go and see this brilliant Musician live...go go... and here where it all started....The Move... Carl Wayne......... and Roy Wood...Drums Bev Bevan .....Brilliant music from the Sixties forward....The Real Great Britain ❤❤😊🎉🎉
Brilliant clip of one of The Move's most underrated songs. I agree with the comment below that Roy and Jeff's voices were indistinguishable at this point - in fact I never realised Jeff Lynne took the last verse until I watched this clip and I've loved this song for years. Seeing it now, you can see why they amicably parted - Lynne was young and ambitious with ideas of his own while Roy Wood was already a well established songwriter/frontman who wouldn't be handing over the reins to anyone soon. I wonder how long Bev Bevan took to make his choice when the split came? History proves that (financially at least) he made a shrewd move!
That's the road It's over there and leading down to nowhere. This is the age when you're allowed to have your own care. If you were half so bright you'd plan your life ahead. Instead of waiting 'til you're old in your bed. I'll be over tonight If you say you might I'll be over tonight Need to put you right. I'm so used to waiting that's entirely your decision. Don't be restricted by the weightless views you're given. If you were half so bright you fight them from the head. Instead of saving 'til your young heart is dead. I'll be over tonight If you say you might I'll be over tonight Need to put you right. Well I know what you wrote in your overcoat But don't want to take it too far Oh I think you won't but I know that you don't You always say that you are Never lend the riches that my endless need will give you Show some concern for all the love that you must live through If you were half so bright you'd plan your life ahead Instead of waiting 'til you're old in your bed. I'll be over tonight If you say you might I'll be over tonight Need to put you right.
Saturday 29th May 1971...the day I fell in love with Jeff Lynne he was just a baby and so was I... that cheeky smile, the cute nose and that wonderful cloud of hair, yep that was me sold!
Hello again......So you were mad over Jeff and I was mad over Bev!!! And you actually got to meet Bev.....WOW!!! Gorgeous Bev and those eyes and cute dimples and smile....actually the face...LOL!!!
Hi Donna!! Yep I got to meet Bev and also met Roy Wood in December, he is the other singer in this group. Managed to meet them both through my artwork [I went with portraits] after their gigs. Now working on meeting Jeff, not so easy because he lives in LA and plays very large arenas if he comes to England...but I'm not giving up!! I have so many portraits of him I need more space!!
LOL!!!! I live in the United States and probably have a better chance at meeting Jeff than Bev......but, one day I'm taking a trip to England going to get me a ticket to his show and hopefully get him to sign my ELO book that he wrote.....or I have 4 vinyl albums from the 70's. Maybe he will talk to me for a few minutes....after all I have waited for 42 years to just meet him.....I was 17 years old in 1975 when I saw his gorgeous self!!!
+Donna Well I will make a deal with you...if you go and tell Jeff I love him I will go and tell Bev you love him ha ha! Don't you know they are just waiting for this news! I just uploaded the picture of me meeting Bev, he was signing my album here hope you can see it...I'm not very technical!
Great picture.....so jealous....and yes that sounds like a plan....you do have a better chance at seeing my heart throb again before I get the chance. I have got to get to England....Bev's gigs seem to be somewhat small and I might actually get the chance to meet him.....to shake the hands of the great drummer!!! Maybe even talk for a few minutes.....Luke is he our only grandchild!! I tried to get Lindsay to name him Bev....she said no!! HA
Great song! Reminds me of my youth, in Gateshead, County Durham. Having said that....If my ex mother-in-law, from Grand Junction, Colorado was singing.."I'll be over tonight!" I would be taking the first stagecoach out of Dodge City.
The fab Roy Wood. ❤
Old age has the advantage that I got to hear all three of them live in the various bands from The Move, to ELO and Wizzard. Only shame is they did not stay together.
Roy, Bev and Jeff......You're unbelievable music legends......!!!!!! Love you very, very, very much!!!!!!!!!!
The more i listen to todays music the more i realize how great music of the pas was.
Bev Roy and Jeff together were a supergroup. Great song
50 years old and still better than the top 100 in most countries.
When we see record shops and go in for a look around we do not look at Modern music but go straight for 60-70s LPs
My grandkids love them ❤
That's cause it's real music🎶😊
Roy Wood and Jeff Lynne two of the best performers and singers ever
Those were the days. Real "handmade" music. The Move & then E.L.O. Super!!!
Two of the greatest British musicians and composers / songwriters right there.
A couple of legendary vocalist, being Roy Wood and Jeff Lynne. Perfect!❤
In retrospect now, and speaking personally, Roy Wood and Ray Davies, were the best composers of that generation. Seen both live, never forgotten.❤️
I have seen both live too! For some reason the Wizzard concert was horrible. They came out unprepared and obviously had been partaking in Adult beverages (or worse). After about 30 minutes they were done.... Luckily, the supporting band was good so it wasn't a bad night. I saw the Kinks too and Ray and Dave were on top form, great concert!
Just brilliance
Individually, they were both spectacularly talented. Together, they would have been unstoppable.
I love Jeff's voice; Roy's was one of the greatest in rock history.
Two alphas. Almost never works. Some exceptions, though. Stones. The Who. Queen would’ve.
Oh man I'm young tbh in the terms of this era but the move Roy wood to me is royalty
Before Roy was more or less pushed out of his own band.
Wood and Lynne, what a talented pair of musicians.
Don't forget drummer Bev Bevan who played for The Move (1966-1972) and was a founding member and long time drummer for ELO (1972-1986)
AND tour drummer for Black Sabbath 1983/84! Legend! This is him and me in my avatar...still a legend...
Only more of a genius than Jeff Lynne is McCartney
JUST LOOK AT THEIR HAIRSTYLES!
@@Dina6279 Great performance, great song, Wood and Lynne great musicians. 👍

Actually ELO and The Move were parallel for a while. They didnt stop The Move to form ELO.
After this they had 2 more hits Chinatown and California man ,
Infatti nelle stesse trasmissioni in un' unica puntata, si esibivano sia come Move, sia come ELO
❤ Man what a time i am❤❤70
Isn't this just BRILLIANT! Roy and jeff love you guy's.. THANKS for all your excellent music.. 🥰
What brilliant colours in this.reminds me when my parents got our 1st colour TV.Steven Boswell.edinburgh

THEY were all young and handsome with great hair.
What a trio! All three are still alive. I wish they would reunite for a few gigs.
That would be something to see xxx

I guess Lucky me ! I was born in 1966 so I heard this music as a young child.
@@sarahloughlin3724 Me too ❤
@@LoredanaLanzo-iq8ux Yes we were a blessed generation to grow up on this music!
Oh this song is just beautiful the move my favourite band easily
Absolute gem of a song
Great song

Absolutely class

@@cosmic687 Spot on musical genius.
Songwriting is a young mans game though, Jeff hasn't really written anything decent for many years either.
the uk music scene went belly up years ago, now we have drivel like ed sheeran, george ezra and adele 🙈
Ben Folds.
holy cow - ive never seen this before! youre a hero for putting this up man - thanks so much
Part of the sound track of my teen years!
Brilliant, both great musicians and songwriters. 💕
Class act.good to see them all enjoying it before the breakup.

For some reason this is my favorite Move track. Pity that the last few seconds of the outro are cut off!!
The Move mit einem Mega Song. 👍👍👍🎸🎸
Love it, caught Jeff Lynne and Bev Bevan in their E.L.O. days and Roy Wood in his Wizzard times. Wish I'd been there for the Move. Superb!!
So young.

@@Dina6279 Hi.I'm an ELO,Move,Jeff ,Roy fan. Thanks for the story of meeting Bev.Have you ever met Jeff or Roy ?
Roy Wood was one of the best songwriters in pop music history.
Seit meiner Jugend habe ich nach diesem "song" gesucht....... Ich habe keine Worte mehr, irre!!!!!!! Move, i love you forever!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic musicians❤️
Footage is taken from 29th May 1971 edition of ITV/LWT's pop show, Whittaker's World of Music
I thought it was an LWT production because of the white background (like on Who Do You Do?) and the frame at the back where people sat (like on Supersonic).
golly, I forgot about this one.. thanks
THere is a great choice of chords which gives a very plaintive feel, and makes it far more than just another folk ballad.

I agree that their voices are very similar but, to me anyway, Roy's voice is, I guess, a tiny bit more shrill.
Very well summed up
Lejos es mejor Jeff Lynne🎵🎶💅🎼👏🏻🤗👍🏻
@@robertstanford9177 more nasal too.
pity roy came out worst in terms of the us market..this was sort of ELO in embryo.

This is great! Love it!
love this from my teenage long haired days
Holy shit! I feel stupid I Never heard Roy Wood/ The Move till now! This is awesome! , reminds me of Travelling Willberries meets the Beatles
What a great record great summer charts 1971 I was 18 I'm 71 now but feel 18 when I here this
love that slide works perfectly.
First single I ever bought :)
Very harmonious voices, what would they have come up with if they had stayed together?
Wow! They were playing live and was kicking ass! Beyond there time in the 60's.
Actually they were lip syncing
It' s very frightening so many folks can' t hear the difference between live and lip syncing.
@@lesterpaul9657 agreed
Wow
Neat seeing Roy and Jeff together; though without the glasses, it's tough to realize it is Jeff.
Jeff looks good with or without glasses.
Class.
Great song! Reminds me of my youth, in Gateshead, County Durham. Having said that....If my ex mother-in-law, from Grand Junction, Colorado was singing.."I'll be over tonight!" I would be taking the first stagecoach out of Dodge City.
If your ex-MiL looked like Roy Wood, who would blame you?! :-)
Yes/
Such great musicianship and songwriting undoubtedly the 60s and 70s the two best musical era's just compare this with the tosh being produced now.
No kidding! I grew up listening to 1960's/70's music.
Fantastic ditty--now I see why mjany Bris believed that the Move was in class with ZEP and the Who
Jeff Lynne in early times, when he formed the ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA WITH member Roy Wood . He steps up (into the first places of the charts
É um clássico dos bons tempos!!!!
Always good to see these early videos of Jeff. Thanks for making this available:-)
At this point the voices of Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood are idistinguishable from each other.
Not true, noticed a vocal change instantly. Jeff is softer. Had video on a different tab
AMAZING, AND TO THINK JEFF LYNNE BECAME A MASTERPIECE IN HIS OWN RIGHT
Jeff looks scared shitless for the first 24 seconds of the song. Then he just looks great as usual and performs brilliantly.
Tbh he always looks lost and confused
its mimed
*2021 - 50th anniversary!* 😎
Another forgotten great.
So brilliant! Love it!
True pop/rock, sublime stuff!!
One of the best songs ever
And to think this was from an album session thrown together to see out a contract as The Move
Tonight! Nothing more! Nothing less! Old movies of lifetime awake!
Ye Gods!!!!! Jeff Lynne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As the world's biggest fan of Idle Race, I just love this!
A shame The Move was never successful in the USA. But ELO was huge in the states only a few years later.
These guys are Good!!!
They're GREAT !!!!!!!!!
The hair gets me everytime plus Jeff's big feet😊
They all had thick and beautiful hair!
Love this track
Love this song, perfect with "Chinatown".
I was 18 when I first heard this and loved it but didn’t know who it was. WOW.
You old git .....me too 😝
Jeff without glasses! :) Wow!
Beautiful blue eyes!
Adoro a Jeff Lynne🤗👏🏻🎼🎶🎵🎤👍🏻😍
Ich liebe move und e.l.o. ohne geht garnicht😢😊
Красота!!! Песня моего детства.Блеск!!!
Atesorada piez arqeologica del primer disco de Elo la voz de Roy es muy especial
