What are you saying? He's enormously respected in the music industry. If you're talking about the general public, then maybe, but among music enthusiasts he holds a very lofty place.
The discography of the English rock band Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) consists of 15 studio albums, 7 live albums, 40 compilation albums, 13 video albums, 33 music videos, 1 extended play, 50 singles, 1 soundtrack album and 8 box sets. ELO have also sold over 50 million records worldwide.
I will second the listener who recommends Jeff Lynne and ELO at Wembley Stadium LIVE from 2017, simply blew me away how good they sound nearly 50 years after they first hit the scene. SO so many great songs. Don't ever listen to this with a broken heart, it could be deadly.
A solid must! The same feeling you are experiencing is what you'll experience with the generation that is and was so fortunate to have lived through. Please check out the live!!!!! l💙
This is why you’re my favorite reactor because you venture everywhere and now you struck gold ! These guys were absolutely amazing if you haven’t heard them before this is just the tip of the iceberg
When all this great music was coming out in the 70's, we didn't have MTV videos, computers, internet, cell phones, etc. We heard the studio version on FM radio (AM radio in the 50's & 60"s) and if we liked it, we went to the record store and bought the album or 8-track or cassette. So the studio version was normally the first version we heard. If you wanted to hear a live version, you had to buy a ticket to a concert and go see it live in person. Then you go home and continue listening to the studio version. The live version lived only in your memory. So, thank you BP for listening to the studio version first like so many of us did. NOW watch this song live at Wembly!!!!
ELO and the legendary Jeff Lynne have produced such incredible music and performances for decades. Jeff Lynne is a fantastic musician, singer songwriter and producer who even The Beatles asked to work with. Their Wembley concerts have been inspirational ❤
Just saw them on their farewell tour this October. It was a bucket list. One of the greatest concerts I have ever seen! And I have seen close to 100 amazing artists live.
I am one of the lucky ones to have seen ELO live back then. It was when you could buy a ticket to a concert, pay for gas and get some weed all for 10$. I had just graduated from high school in 1975. I think it was the Eldorado tour. Those of us that lived then are truly blessed. So much of modern advancement came about in our lives. Plus the incredible music we had. ELO still rocks to this day. Thanks for the video!😁✌🎶
Just saw one of Jeff Lynne's last shows in Sacramento. Most unbelievable experience ever. I'm 35 and a metal and punk fan, but WHAT A PERFORMANCE 👏🙌 even at 80 years old he still sounded Electric as ever
Jeff Lynne is my lifes soundtrack. All of electric light orchestra, his solo work and all the production that he did for solo Beatles, Traveling Wilburys I could go on and on. So many memories are tied to this sound.
I grew up hearing ELO on the radio. Songs like this never get old to me. It’s pretty wild that this song, to me anyway, sounds like a cross between The Beatles, The Bee Gees and a Doo Wop group. 👍🏼
Once more you've captured a portion of my youth... I was a junior in high school when this came out... been loving it ever since. Solid gold. I am continually so glad you are on this journey to discover the music that I grew up with and I smile with joy when I see you react like you do... you ARE the best!
Did you have Xanadu? I think it was a very underrated movie a crazy mix Olivia Newton-John electric light orchestra that fantastic big band era all mixed together❤
I was not expecting such a great reaction from you. 😄Made. My. Day. This is one of my all-time favorite ELO songs. My 2nd favorite band from my teen years. In school art class I painted a "Telephone Line" album cover as an assignment. Loved your reaction, BP!! 💖Adding: Check out "Turn To Stone", or "Sweet Talkin' Woman". 😊
I’d forgotten how beautiful this song was. Do the people of today’s music understand why the music of the seventies & eighties are bragged about so much & with such pride? Music used to be so good. Thank goodness we have albums, CD’s, and such to take us back.
I was 6 when this came out, I have tears every time I hear this. It's just so beautiful. Saw them few years back in Philadelphia and that was one of my bucket list. What a light show as well. Must see in concert if you can. Thanks for this one.
Their Live concert in Wembley is wonderful All ages dancing and singing along We listened on the School Bus.We loved them because their songs were so good and unique.
I was two years old when this came out So blessed and grateful to be the age I was so many memories the cars , decor, movies, toys, smells, simplicity…. Yes NO elow
One of my favorites of ALL TIME!!! The pain of an unrealized love. The Doo Wop is the passing of time. Living in Twilight is hanging on to that unrequited love. Let it ring forevermore means he will never give up. Beautiful!!!!
I was 16 when this was in the charts, love ELO, to see your reaction to this song really excited me, to see how much you got excited by this music! There is a lot of good music today, but I feel the music from the 40's 50s 60s 70s had some of the very best singers and definitely the best music! ❤
Memories of my middle school Years! The amazing ELO! I used to create dance routines to some of their songs… it’s great to see you enjoying the brilliant music!🎶
From my hometown of Birmingham, they formed in 1970, oh and i went to school with Roy Wood. We were soooooo lucky to have such great music and were able to spend all our time at live concerts. The youngsters i know now just go and watch a D J lollllllllll
A fantastic group! Grew up with them [am 63] from England. So many great songs/hits. Always wondered why they never had a number one here [except for Xanadu with Olivier Newton John].
Same for me as an Aussie. I just turned 64 and am so freaking grateful for being born when I was for music! I got to see AC/DC live with the one and only Bon Scott so many times in Melbourne as a teenager in the mid 70’s. To feel the sound coming up through our feet was the most amazing experience and they were my first rock concert. How lucky were we???
@@karenglenn6707 Yup agreed. I was an origianl 'Punk' and got to see the Sex Pistols/The Stranglers/The Clash/The Cure/Siouxsie and the Banshees and later The Human League etc. My brother got to see AC/DC [he's 61].
Oh BP...this reaction makes me so so happy...I'm only 7 years older than you but E.L.O was played in my house constantly growing up.. you are 100% correct..jeff is the truth man...THAT VOICE!! and the fact he wrote them..its unfair for the rest of us musicians!!! Lol...now..if you enjoyed that..PLEASEVPLEASE PLEASE X 1MILLION listen and react to "The Eve of the war" from war of the worlds....or better still..drop the whole album ..you will thank me....peace out...a true true fan..keep it real..Andi, cornwall, U.K
Great reaction Bob, I bought all of ELOs music as soon as it hit the shelf. I was living this great era of music I was 15 when this dropped. They recorded over 190 songs.
I was a kid when Elo came out with their music. I was blessed by growing up with the very best music under the sun. I listen to Christian rock now and love that too.
I love many different types of music, from 60's and 70's acoustic Folk, Funk, Disco, Soul, to 80's Synth, HipHop, Ska, Acid House, to 90's Breakbeat/Rave, and much more. But ELO (and 10cc too), are just amazing musicians. The studio production on their albums was top quality, the techniques, the musicality, just everything about it, superb.
Born in the early 70's and I heard it on a mix 8-track tape, that a friend of my Dad's made for him back then. I loved it then and love it now. Also brings back feelings of my childhood.
I love it when you take note of the production value! It's something I've been picking up on since first listening to The Moody Blues and The Alan Parsons Project.
😁😊😁😊😁😊 This was the first record (vinyl single) I ever bought 😍 I was 15 and paid for it out of my 'wage' (£3 for a Saturday job + tips 😅, washing hair, sweeping the floor & making tea) I'm so glad I grew up when Elvis, MJ, George Michael, Whitney, etc were around 😍
Such a great group, ELO! -- and Jeff Lynne is just an incredible vocalist. We saw ELO live in Chicago in the winter of '76-77, and this was part of the show. They sounded even better live than their studio recordings,and with the addition of awesome lighting effects and lasers bouncing off the cello strings. We had 7th row center seats!--I was half deaf for 3 days afterward. When we left the concert, we discovered my boyfriend's car had been towed, necessitating a 2-mile walk through a bad Chicago neighborhood in below-zero wind-chill temps to find the tow yard. In those days, $150 was a TON of money but between four of us kids, we had just enough cash to recover the car and thankfully made it home on fumes, with our food & gas money long gone. Rough end to a great night!! - But we laugh about it now,. 47 years married and he's yet to live it down.!😉 For all that, the concert was totally worth it & we still consider ELO one of the best bands of the 70's.
We are watching Star Wars at a drive in theatre, and this song comes on before the movie starts and I fell in love with ELO. Hearing it today takes me back to that moment, and I have a visceral reaction to it. Thank you.
Oh my I just love ELO, few years ago I had to arrange my brothers funeral. The last song saying goodbye was Mr Blue Sky. My personal favourite is A Living Thing. Just a fantastic band
I love ELO! I am so happy to see your reaction! Have you listened to Kansas song Miracles Out Of Nowhere? You will be amazed! I saw Kansas in concert last Friday they rocked a full house! Only one original member is left and the band is as good as it ever was! Miracles Out Of Nowhere is an absolutely stunning song!
Jeff Lynne is IMHO the most underrated Musician singer-songwriter record producer in the history of popular music
And here I just credited him with creating a sound, I like your thing too.
What are you saying? He's enormously respected in the music industry. If you're talking about the general public, then maybe, but among music enthusiasts he holds a very lofty place.
@@darkpitcher5242 agreed. I would add Danny Elfman to that list as well.
Underrated! So who are you speaking on behalf of? 🤪
The discography of the English rock band Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) consists of 15 studio albums, 7 live albums, 40 compilation albums, 13 video albums, 33 music videos, 1 extended play, 50 singles, 1 soundtrack album and 8 box sets. ELO have also sold over 50 million records worldwide.
This whole album is a masterpiece, can't go wrong with any of it.
I will second the listener who recommends Jeff Lynne and ELO at Wembley Stadium LIVE from 2017, simply blew me away how good they sound nearly 50 years after they first hit the scene. SO so many great songs. Don't ever listen to this with a broken heart, it could be deadly.
Watch this live from Wembley Stadium
YES!!!!!!!
A solid must! The same feeling you are experiencing is what you'll experience with the generation that is and was so fortunate to have lived through. Please check out the live!!!!! l💙
Exactly. The Wembley concert should have been the one reacted to.
I was born in 56. Yea, we had pretty good shit in the day. I feel for you youngsters.
Me too!
I'm a 57.
The youngsters also have it, its on TH-cam you silly old sod 😁
I'm a 1956 model Aquarius! Let the sunshine in, baby!
70s music over any decades music period
I will NEVER get tired of hearing this song.
One of the finest most enjoyable reactions I have ever seen. You can’t fake pure unadulterated joy of the first time hearing this genius. Bless you!
Music from my teens. We had some great music back then. Love to see you youngins' loving it too.
Mine too. You're right, we really did have great music back then.
Yes. Classic❤
This is why you’re my favorite reactor because you venture everywhere and now you struck gold ! These guys were absolutely amazing if you haven’t heard them before this is just the tip of the iceberg
The 70s and early 80s were the apex of radio rock. A culture of cars and music.
Jeff Lynne- the lead singer is also part of the Travelling Wilburys and produced several songs for the Beatles
When all this great music was coming out in the 70's, we didn't have MTV videos, computers, internet, cell phones, etc. We heard the studio version on FM radio (AM radio in the 50's & 60"s) and if we liked it, we went to the record store and bought the album or 8-track or cassette.

NOW watch this song live at Wembly!!!!
True but us 70s Brats had the best bands and songs EVER
Just saw ELO in Boston for their final tour with Jeff Lynne. It was amazing. I want to thank them for 50+ years of great music ❤
ELO and the legendary Jeff Lynne have produced such incredible music and performances for decades. Jeff Lynne is a fantastic musician, singer songwriter and producer who even The Beatles asked to work with. Their Wembley concerts have been inspirational ❤
That face you make when listening to great music, you got it man. Music and poetry so beautiful it almost moves you to tears. KOKO
Jeff Lynne is a musical genius. This whole album is gold!
Just saw them on their farewell tour this October. It was a bucket list. One of the greatest concerts I have ever seen! And I have seen close to 100 amazing artists live.
Omg..Mr Blue Sky!! This one is just as good!!
This Electric Light Orchestra album was my first album with Electric Light Orchestra back in the 70's the first song I ever heard was Livin Thing
ELO has a lot of fantastic music, much of which will knock your socks off like this one, that said, it's my favorite of theirs too.
The Music Is Reversible, But Time- Turn Back!
For the best experience watch ELO at Wembley Stadium live it's the best.
I am one of the lucky ones to have seen ELO live back then. It was when you could buy a ticket to a concert, pay for gas and get some weed all for 10$. I had just graduated from high school in 1975. I think it was the Eldorado tour. Those of us that lived then are truly blessed. So much of modern advancement came about in our lives. Plus the incredible music we had. ELO still rocks to this day. Thanks for the video!😁✌🎶
I saw them in the mid 80s in Greensboro NC as part of a double bill with Hall and Oates. Great stuff.
Just saw one of Jeff Lynne's last shows in Sacramento. Most unbelievable experience ever. I'm 35 and a metal and punk fan, but WHAT A PERFORMANCE 👏🙌 even at 80 years old he still sounded Electric as ever
On my way to see Steve Vai take the place of Robert Fripp. Hold my frickin beer while I piss myself.
I knew a guy once who ate roast flamingo.
I had so many 45's of ELO and this song was my favorite!
so many memories, makes me cry everytime I hear it.
I was hesitant to listen to this one , teenage memories, first love .
@@donaldromesburg1902 Hit the nail on the head. Emelia Giardino and Loves Baby Soft.
I just wanna talk to my cousin Donna. She passed recently. This was our song❤🎉 For Donna. I love and miss you every day.😢
Teenager when this vinyl dropped, great times 😎
Jeff Lynne is my lifes soundtrack. All of electric light orchestra, his solo work and all the production that he did for solo Beatles, Traveling Wilburys I could go on and on. So many memories are tied to this sound.
I grew up hearing ELO on the radio. Songs like this never get old to me. It’s pretty wild that this song, to me anyway, sounds like a cross between The Beatles, The Bee Gees and a Doo Wop group. 👍🏼
" Roll over Beethoven" will blow your mind.
Used to sing this song with cousins on way to beach as kids. What BEAUTIFUL Memories 🤣❤🎶🤙
Saw them in 1977 at Madison Square Garden. Still one of my favorites.
I love this entire album. Used my entire allowance for a month to buy this when it came out. Worth every penny.
Once more you've captured a portion of my youth... I was a junior in high school when this came out... been loving it ever since. Solid gold. I am continually so glad you are on this journey to discover the music that I grew up with and I smile with joy when I see you react like you do... you ARE the best!
I had all their albums as a young woman in the 70s and 80s. They were ahead of their time. The 70s, best music in the last 50 years!
Did you have Xanadu? I think it was a very underrated movie a crazy mix Olivia Newton-John electric light orchestra that fantastic big band era all mixed together❤
If you like this one, you will love their whole album, Time. It’s about a man who goes into the future and can’t get back. It’s phenomenal!!
I was not expecting such a great reaction from you. 😄Made. My. Day. This is one of my all-time favorite ELO songs. My 2nd favorite band from my teen years. In school art class I painted a "Telephone Line" album cover as an assignment. Loved your reaction, BP!! 💖Adding: Check out "Turn To Stone", or "Sweet Talkin' Woman". 😊
Came out the year I graduated High School! It IS an incredible song-so layered and rich!
I’d forgotten how beautiful this song was. Do the people of today’s music understand why the music of the seventies & eighties are bragged about so much & with such pride? Music used to be so good. Thank goodness we have albums, CD’s, and such to take us back.
ELO music is phenomenal and their live concert videos are also amazing to watch.
Just watch them live in LA at the Kia (Forum). Dream come true to see them live.
Live from Wembley Stadium ❤❤❤❤❤
JEFF IS KNOWN AS THE 5th BEATLE! You’ll definitely have to watch this song at Wembly Stadium!!!!
*George Martin and Billy Preston have entered that chat. 😏
This sounds "Futuristic" because this dude kinda invented how modern music is made. Feel free to drive across the desert listening to this. Yeeaahha!
I was 6 when this came out, I have tears every time I hear this. It's just so beautiful. Saw them few years back in Philadelphia and that was one of my bucket list. What a light show as well. Must see in concert if you can. Thanks for this one.
Their Live concert in Wembley is wonderful All ages dancing and singing along
We listened on the School Bus.We loved them because their songs were so good and unique.
I just saw them in their Farewell concert.... everyone was singing and crying during this song... it was in the encore...
"All Over The World", "Sweet Talkin' Woman", "Strange Magic", "Mr. Blue Sky", etc!! ELO so very popular in the 70's.
I was two years old
when this came out
So blessed and grateful to be the age I was so many memories the cars , decor, movies, toys, smells, simplicity….
Yes NO elow
Jeff Lynne’s so under rated so many more to mention a rabbit hole you can go down and and they just get better
I am so glad my parents (now in their 80’s) had an eclectic choice of music when I was growing up. ELO was thankfully one of the bands ☺️
I wish we could have that time today for our grandkids to experience. Enough of the craziness in the world. The 70’s and 80’s were the best times.
One of my favorites of ALL TIME!!! The pain of an unrealized love. The Doo Wop is the passing of time. Living in Twilight is hanging on to that unrequited love. Let it ring forevermore means he will never give up. Beautiful!!!!

Got to do the live version from Wembley. There's also Evil Woman and Turn To stone can be seen from there. Jeff in his 70's still belting them out
So glad you found this one. This and “Can’t Get It Out Of My Head” are hands down two of my favorite songs ever. Thanks bro.
Oh BP...this reaction makes me so so happy...I'm only 7 years older than you but E.L.O was played in my house constantly growing up.. you are 100% correct..jeff is the truth man...THAT VOICE!! and the fact he wrote them..its unfair for the rest of us musicians!!!

I remember in the 80s my stepdad bought this huge and LOUD stereo and played this song so loud you couldn't hear afterwards. Van Halen and Boston too
Fire On High, Can't Get It Out Of My Head!
You made my day.... Thanks man. The joy you get from my favorite group, growing up listening to this music was incredible.
When I saw them in concert way back, they had the second largest traveling show/production after Barnem & Bailey Circus. Incredible experience!
Nice reaction, easy to see the Beatles influence on Jeff.
ELO has so many bangers, but the album "Time" as a whole is pure masterpiece. The WHOLE album.
❤❤❤
I am SO glad you reacted to this!!!!!! this is for real one of the best songs ive ever heard
My husband and I saw them live at the LSU Assembly Center Baton Rouge, La. in 1978 and the show blew our minds. It was EPIC!! Peace!
One of Jeff Lynne's favourite ELO songs. Always great to see someone hear it for the first time. Thanks BP.😊
I was born in 1954, I feel sorry for you young people, we were so very lucky, music was so good in our day
Great reaction Bob, I bought all of ELOs music as soon as it hit the shelf. I was living this great era of music I was 15 when this dropped. They recorded over 190 songs.
I loved your reaction, loved ELO 12year old in 1976, beautiful takes me back ahhh
Even as a preteen I loved this song and this band and played their greatest hits album to death lol.
ELO, one of the only classical instrument Rock band of the 70’s and 80s❤ keep em comin
I was a kid when Elo came out with their music. I was blessed by growing up with the very best music under the sun. I listen to Christian rock now and love that too.
I love many different types of music, from 60's and 70's acoustic Folk, Funk, Disco, Soul, to 80's Synth, HipHop, Ska, Acid House, to 90's Breakbeat/Rave, and much more.

He said it correctly ! 👏 🎉
Born in the early 70's and I heard it on a mix 8-track tape, that a friend of my Dad's made for him back then. I loved it then and love it now. Also brings back feelings of my childhood.
To be a teenager in the 70's was an awesome experience! Fantastic tunes, movies and adventure. Thanks for these reactions brother!
I love it when you take note of the production value! It's something I've been picking up on since first listening to The Moody Blues and The Alan Parsons Project.
😁😊😁😊😁😊
This was the first record (vinyl single) I ever bought 😍
I was 15 and paid for it out of my 'wage' (£3 for a Saturday job + tips 😅, washing hair, sweeping the floor & making tea)
I'm so glad I grew up when Elvis, MJ, George Michael, Whitney, etc were around 😍
Saw them live about 2 months ago. AMAZING show!!!!!
Jeff Lynne has been my all time favorite singer/ song writer since the mid 1970s
Such a great group, ELO! -- and Jeff Lynne is just an incredible vocalist. We saw ELO live in Chicago in the winter of '76-77, and this was part of the show. They sounded even better live than their studio recordings,and with the addition of awesome lighting effects and lasers bouncing off the cello strings. We had 7th row center seats!--I was half deaf for 3 days afterward. When we left the concert, we discovered my boyfriend's car had been towed, necessitating a 2-mile walk through a bad Chicago neighborhood in below-zero wind-chill temps to find the tow yard. In those days, $150 was a TON of money but between four of us kids, we had just enough cash to recover the car and thankfully made it home on fumes, with our food & gas money long gone. Rough end to a great night!! - But we laugh about it now,. 47 years married and he's yet to live it down.!😉 For all that, the concert was totally worth it & we still consider ELO one of the best bands of the 70's.
this would be one of my favourite ELO songs.
Every time I hear this song I think of a very funny part in Billy Madison 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
We are watching Star Wars at a drive in theatre, and this song comes on before the movie starts and I fell in love with ELO. Hearing it today takes me back to that moment, and I have a visceral reaction to it. Thank you.
My favorite band and my favorite movie!
LOVE IT!!!! I was 10 years old when this song came out. I love your reaction to these greats!!! Keep it up :)
The light show at their concerts was so amazing also.
Just saw him in Nashville earlier this year. I love them and this is one of my favs. Living thing is awesome
“Showdown” and “Evil Woman” next please
One of my favorites E.L.O. Is an awesome band 🔥
Listen to Mr Blue Sky. It's the most joyous song ever written!
Wild West Hero and Sweet Talkin' Woman are among many other ELO bangers!
Mr. Blue Sky!! 🥰🥰🥰
Mate! There's a version of this of Jeff and a pianist playing this acoustically. Absolutely mind blowing!
Watching you feel the awesomeness of ELO made my day
Oh my I just love ELO, few years ago I had to arrange my brothers funeral. The last song saying goodbye was Mr Blue Sky. My personal favourite is A Living Thing. Just a fantastic band
Love ELO and this is absolutely my favorite song!
I love ELO! I am so happy to see your reaction! Have you listened to Kansas song Miracles Out Of Nowhere? You will be amazed! I saw Kansas in concert last Friday they rocked a full house! Only one original member is left and the band is as good as it ever was! Miracles Out Of Nowhere is an absolutely stunning song!
I just saw them last month at the ball arena the guy is over 70 and still sounds like he is in his 20’s
