Many groups have covered this rock classic, including The Beatles, but no one does it better than Jeff Lynne and ELO!!
negative
@@luvlgs1 they made it their own, it's a great cover, ahead of its time. Still I prefer the original or the Beatles version which is very true to that.
ELO has made the very best cover ever of this song with Symphonic Rock.
The studio version could be listened to every day, Angela.
Their studio version is the bomb.
Violin player was insane. The thing almost caught on fire.
And playing while wearing a cape!!
Wilf Gibson was his name. Great violinist as well as Steve Woolam. The first two guys who started playing violin at the beginning of ELO project. Pity we lost them so soon 😢
Love ELO. The 70's were my time
Nobody does this song like ELO 👍
ELO gets a thumbs up no matter what song-they’re awesome! “Out of the Blue” was the first album I ever saved up my money to buy! And it was a Double Album to boot, made it even better!
Edit to say,, TWO Big thumbs up for this!
two thumbs up...great idea!
This is great. Been waiting for someone to do this song. I was expecting the studio version, but this is fun. Cool band. Now listen to the original. Credit to Chuck Berry for writing such a clever song. I think you would like the studio version by ELO.
Chuck was the Godfather of Rock & Roll. All his music was inspirational to many future generations. If anyone wants the true definition of the word 'genius' there he is, right there. God rest his dear soul.
The Chuck Berry version is a classic but he doesn't have the Beethoven's 5th part in it.
You could spend a month just reacting to Chuck Berry songs and covers. He was one of the greatest poets of the 20th century imho. Johnny B. Goode, Little Queenie, Maybelline, Carol, etc.
Frantic. I love to watch a live video of ELO's version, but I would put the studio version on my phone. I heard the Chuck Berry version and the Beatles version on the radio when I was a lot younger.
The "classical" Beethoven's Fifth Symphony intro by the Electric light Orchestra, entirely appropriate. And then Jeff Lynne kicks it into high gear. Bang!
Chuck Berry debería estar orgulloso de Electric Light Orchestra por hacer de su canción una versión así ,Rock n Roll 100%
This uses Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. There was a disco song called A Fifth Of Beethoven also.
Beethoven's 5th symphony...Thats the Classical version you were trying to say....ELO knocks it out of park...Chuck Berry was a classic but Elo added to it and picked it up a bit and added the orchestra and strings to it all....Chuck didnt have the 5th symphony version in his song nor all the string instruments or orchestra backings...Just did it with a electric guitar, piano and drums...basically all the 50's early 60's weapons of ear drums destructions used back in the day....ELO gave it more substance.
Have you ever seen anyone fiddle like that while wearing a cape?
If you can find early footage of Chuck Berry performing, it's an eye opener. The sound quality may not be up to modern standards, but Chhuck's showmanship and athleticism are really something special.
I loved seeing them in 1976, in concert! It was a great encore!
Ludwig left a thumbs up!
FABULOUS!!!! I really enjoyed this!!! 😊
Beethoven's Fifth, I believe. Leave it to Jeff Lynne and ELO to turn a 2-minute rock 'n roll rockabilly staple into a marathon rocker. I saw them do this live year's ago in Phoenix. Fun!
The first thing which springs to mind is how hard all the boys worked on stage that night. I bet at the end they were all finished physically. Very entertaining.
this version has a lot more to do with beethoven's fifth that chuck berrys original does.
Wow! What a rocker. Appeals to classical music fans as well as rock enthusiasts alike!👍👍🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
This okay, but I like the fun sound of the original.
Enjoy this as I never saw it before. Them strings really Rock. I do think the studio album version is much better so please listen to that Angela as the sound is 10 times better but this version is not all that bad. Thumbs up reaction 👍 girl.
When you have time listen to the studio version.
I agree with the folks pointing to the studio version. Definitely give it a listen to, even if just for yourself. I'd be far more inclined to listen to that in a playlist than this live version (all credit to the musicians though).
I Would Love to See Chuck Berry and ELO in concert together!!! That would be spectacular!!!
Great cover... should of done the studio version. It's better. But this is still great... hard to beat Jeff Lynne. He's one of the best composers ever.
Such good fun, thank you Angela. Glad I'm a subscriber 🌹🕊️😃🎸🎹🎸 Anybody with a kid who's balking about violin lessons, show them THIS 😋😁
Yeah, a pioneering rock classic given over the top treatment by Jeff Lynne and ELO back in the day. For more great covers of this song, try The Beatles, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins. I saw Leslie West of Mountain do a frenetic, hard rocking take on it. Great stuff! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎻🎶
ELO 4ever!!!!
E.L.O. FOREVER!!
Chuck Berry for sure although I did love the eel over version of it as well. Probably my favorite cover of it though is Foghat from their very first album. If you want to hear them doing the Chuck Berry song Maybelline and Blasting everything out of the water, that's your jam. It's incredible. It is literally the last song on their first album, the end of side b. And it goes out with a massive bang.
That's one thing about ELO, they always have great instrumentals.
I really like ELO, but this is a mess. Should see a Chuck Berry performance or the a live Beatles cover (George Harrison vocal).
??????????....you're a mess. lol That was killer!
@@Cosmo-Kramer Sorry, I agree with Jeffrey. It's the live performance, audio, whatever. Not that they're not playing their butts off...!
ok, so we love all of your reactions! Sometimes the artists elicits deep emotional responses, some of the artists hit you and you have a hard time expressing your feelings, which we love too. And, then there are times that the music makes you dance! Your a one woman show, and we love you for YOURSELF!
sounds very diferent to the studio version of Elo rare its the same song , i listen to the studio version , to the beatles vesion and the chuck berry vesion its hard to said mybe a little more fun in the voice Chuck berry
Don't listen to this song on your way to work, it's a guaranteed speeding ticket. Trust me, I know, lol
ELO does this song the best
Love their cover if this classic chuck Berry tune. I've always loved Electric Light Orchestra.
Q: What's Beethoven REALLY doing in his grave?
A: Decomposing! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
See what you did there Mick, see what you did there though best to keep The Day Job, ......just in case😀
@@Isleofskye It's Mike, not Mick.
@@mikemiller3069 Allow me to take The Mike,Mike, and explain that I wasn't taking the Mick when I said Mick, not Mike
@@Isleofskye See a specialist. And it's take the "mic" as in short for "microphone". You have all kinds of troubles with Mikes don't you, .🙄
@@mikemiller3069 My disappointment in myself is immeasurable and no words can adequately express my remorse regarding my inexcusable faux pas. I am mortified that I got to make these schoolboy errors and I only try to crave your forgiveness for my brief moments of total complete and utter insanity in making these mistakes. I have no excuses and I can only apologize, profusely, for my stupidity, once again. You are a good man for pointing these out to me. I'm inconsolable at the moment.....:(
ps As you appear to be a native of Pedantry, somewhere between Daventry and Coventry, are you going to point out that it is "Roll Over Beethoven " or shall I ?
Chuck Berry played Rock and Roll. '50s era Elvis Presley played Rock and Roll. Carl Perkins played Rock and Roll. Calling these guys hillbillies was an attempt to diminish their greatness and an excuse to pay them less. But their records became so popular that they became millionaires anyway. The term Rockabilly became excepted because these guys were rich, but it was a slur in the beginning.
The BEATLES did this also.. 🎸🌷👍
Yes, on what was called “The Beatles Second Album” in the US.
Youre pure happiness 😊. You migh as well go on on with rockari elo in 😂
You should do the originals along with the covers, imho. Love this. Are you doing Joe Cocker's Help from My Friends? That's the greatest cover of all time.
I think she did a review on that.
@@tomlemery8490 Thanks. I thought maybe so. I will look for it.
@@custardflan Don't know if you found it yet or not. She did it a year ago.
Berry's was groundbreaking, but ELO took it to a new level. Beatles cover did it justice, but this was just da*& !
Would love to see Chuck reacting to this one....
OMG this was awesome !
Hi Ms. D., Also covered by The Beatles, twice I think, 1964 & 1979.. ♠W.G.
Jeff Lynne and Tuomas Holopainen of Nightwish... two of the best songwriting composers ever in my humble opinion 👍😊
how fun was that? Thanks Angela !
Written by the true King Of Rock n Roll, Chuck Berry. Yes, ELO could rock, and Jeff Lynne is a superb guitarist, despite ELO records not really showing his full abilities.
I now feel 30 years younger!!! 😃😃😃
2 suggestions for you :)
Modern Love - The Last Town Chorus (2006) - Original by David Bowie (1983)
The Day Before You Came - Blancmange (1984) - Original by ABBA (1982)
Yes. Great song. If you like this you may also like The Move, with Jeff Lynne on lead volals and piano, along with Roy Wood, singing the fantastic "California Man"
ANY aspiring rock group has to be able to play Chuck Berry - and all the top groups have at least one Chuck in their repertoire (Beatles, Stones, Springsteen, ELO, etc.). This one is great and highlights Jeff Lynne's playful sense of humour. "Roll Over Beethoven" is one of those tracks where there's not really a competition between different versions. I have seven!!!
Angela: You must listen to Chuck's original to appreciate the lyrics fully (Jeff makes a few mistakes). Then listen to ELO's studio version to get some of the subtleties this live version doesn't have. Lastly, listen to "Rockaria" for more Jeff Lynne humour.
Symphony #5
I’m pretty sure I only know the Chuck Berry version. I don’t recognize all the added instrumentals altho they are great. Now I’ve got to go look up the original, lol.
It is nice to see the band performing but I think you should first listen to the original studio version, to hear it like we did, before watching it live. The studio version is so much cleaner than this one.
I agree. I really was hoping for the studio version.
I agree.
Sounds like Jeff Lynne is channeling “The Killer “ Jerry Lee Lewis.
Much prefer The Beatles version with those Rickenbaker guitars and John Lennon’s sassy voice. This one sounds a bit cheesy to me.
You obviously haven't listened to ELO's studio version, it blows The Beatles version away. And blows Chuck's away, too.
Love ur channel
The studio version is better. The violins sounded off.
Connecting violins to amps was very primitive in '73, but how you could not LOVE that violin play is beyond me.
I loved them on the record, not live. The strings sounded “sour” to me.
The Langley sisters on strings
Lovely Angela you always looking magnificent and give indept,honest assessment on the song's you react to...I recently lost a girlfriend to my most fiercest rival and I've been down ever since... Maybe if you react to Skyy-song called Real Love 😘😘💕 I might feel better and she may come back to me or I might find another one Day,..even if I don't get a "Day One" reaction!!!!! LOL 😂😆
This was a nice review.
To really really enjoy this or any other song, you would want get some professional headphones like the Sony MDR-V6 and ditch the ear buds.
Suggestion is Ray Charles 1961 Number One hit, "Unchain My Heart" covered in 1987 by Joe Cocker.
I would make an effort to also hear both Chuck Berry and the Beatles versions as well.
Beethoven's 5th Synphony
I hope one of the cover songs you do is I Love Rock and Roll by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts
Beethoven's 5th symphony.
at the time Hugh McDowell, And Mike Edwards played Cello and Mik Kaminski played Violin. Melvin Gale would later replace Mike Edwards.
hey Angela
check out these songs
thick and thin by Tom Keifer
you're in my heart you're in my soul by Rod Stewart
don't know what you got till it's gone by Cinderella
BTW it's Rockabilly not belly, billy like in hillbilly. Also while this is a fantastic live version I still prefer ELO's studio version. I recommend you listen to Chuck Berry's original version and the Beatles cover version. Both are excellent though I still prefer ELO's cover version the most.
Jeff Healey angel eyes my way 1988 acoustic version👍👍👍
Beehoven's Fifth Symphony is the into song.
A pretty good interpretation, however give me Chuck Berry's original any day. Berry's raw rock and roll performance.
suggestions: simply jessie by rex smith and laughter in the rain by neil sedaka.
How did they memorize all that?
Angela!
👏🏻👏🏻😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻😃
My favourite is the Beatles version ..
Since you are getting out of the 70s, I guess that means yer not gonna react to Jesus Is Just Alright. Bummer. I imagine most people think it’s an original song by The Doobie Brothers but it’s actually an old gospel song that was covered by The Byrds, and several other bands, but the Doobies version is far and away the most popular and recognizable.
Beethoven's 5th Symphony.
This version is amazing to see, but I prefer the studio version.
There's a rumour that the guy playing guitar in this vid actually taught Brian May, can't verify if it's legit though but he is a great guitarist
The story was that in the late 60's Brian May specifically went to watch Jeff Lynne play as he'd heard that he had a unique way of making a guitar sound like a violin. He certainly didn't reach him to play guitar.
@@richteezer1 Ohhhh interesting, thanks for letting me know!
I SAW THESE GUYS WHEN THEY WERE JUST GETTING STARTED ! THEY OPENED FOR A BAND THAT DID ONLY SONGS LIKE THIS THE OLD STYLE , WITHOUT THE STRINGS , I FORGET THEIR NAME . PROBABLY BECAUSE ELO EASILY BLEW THEM OFF THE STAGE ! WITH THIS SONG ALONE . CAUSE THEY TRIED TO PLAY IT , AFTER ELO PLAYED IT IN THERE SET ! THEY SHOULD HAVE LEFT THIS SONG OFF OF THEIR SONG LIST ! NOBODY CAN FOLLOW ELO'S VERSION !
Why SHOUT? My ears are bleeding,Man😀
As impressive as the band was live here, I still prefer the studio track. Jeff Lynne's vocals were at his best. It was flat out kick ass basic rock n roll. Blows away the Beatles cover and I'd take it to the original any day. But to each his own.
next time studio version
The original is great. .But you have to listen to the best version, it's on ELO 2. Treat yourself
You NEVER heard Chuck Berry do this song. You have to listen to ALL of his songs. ELO is good but, no one can do a Chuck Berry song like Chuck Berry. There wouldn’t be Rock n’ Roll without Chuck Berry.
Awful sound quality but no mistaking the superior sound of ELO.
Work it girl
This was alright but the studio recording is much better than this particular live performance.
Wow, that was epic! Chuck Berry released this song in 1956. Many other artists covered it but the most familiar version to me is The Beatles cover in 1964. I still prefer the Beatles version.
This is a good version, The Beatles did a much better version but none can top the original by Chuck Berry. ✌️
Original is way better. This coming from someone who this song was before my time. They musicianship is excellent. Original is better as a pure record.
Will you please react to Billy Joel Royal the song old bridges burn slow
