Telephone Line was such a big hit in Australia in 1977. I am now almost 70 yr old and still listen to ELO to this day in Dec.2024. I can’t wait to see them perform on July 10,2025 in Manchester, UK.
@ Thank you, you too! I figured I’m celebrating my 70 th bday next month and Retirement from 50 yrs of Nursing. I deserved this. Off to Europe before the show. Haven’t been to Ireland. Went to Scotland before. Loved it!
notice the general demeanor of the members of the band as they enjoy real time euphoria singing and playing Jeff's " A+ compositions " ........ and the energized audience gets more than their money's worth .
Notice all you wannabee divas, it's all about the music, Jeff does not take his clothes off or try to be the centre of attention, its just the music and brilliant musicians, and its truly magical. Simples!!
It's 2:14 am on 10/16/19 and I'm sitting here alone listening to my ELO favorites. Hell, I'm 76 yo and in a few short years I'll be sleeping for eternity! Right now, it's my time for ELO!
I’m 61 and have been a fan of ELO since I was in my late teens and I never get sick of their music. It has always been unique and beautiful to listen. Thank you 🙏 Jeff and ELO ❤️❤️❤️
How lucky we are to still have the music genius Jeff Lynne (ELO) on this planet. I can't wait for the Summer / Fall North American Tour in 2024! I already bought my tickets for New York and Toronto.
Everyone here saying they’re in their 70s while I’m only 22 and this is my favorite band of all time, Jeff Lynne’s musical genius has spanned generations and will continue to be discovered for years to come. Also love the JJ Abram’s cameo
So much joy in the house! Must have been indescribably awesome to be there! 🤩🎸🎻🥁🎼🎹❤️🔥 Thank you Jeff and friends for helping me navigate through one of the most heartbreaking times of my life! I love you all! ❤ from Australia 🇦🇺🇬🇧
People forget he did 'War Of The Worlds'. Double album absolute masterpiece He's fucking brilliant and it always appears it's 'Oh yeah whatever, it just comes to me.'
Jeff Lynne is a fantastic musician, songwriter and producer. Jeff Lynne's ELO will be on Tour this Summer and Fall of 2024 for 32 concerts in North American cities. It's on my bucket list... I already bought my tickets for New York and Toronto.
The 70s music will put you on another planet that no one will understand unless you have a love of the 70s music. You don't need drugs or alcohol to appreciate the best music ever. God....take me back to the 70s and leave me there....I'll be just fine.
Just turned 74 and my wife and I still rock around the kitchen to ELO, the Dead, and ABBA....does that make us old, or is it just the '70s still leaching out!!!
Early 1978 age 15.. Skateboarding with blue kryptonics..! hearing Mr Blue Sky for the first time..still have a skateboard and still have that marvellous song in my mind..😅
❤❤❤Jeff Lynne's ELO was on Tour last Summer and Fall of 2024 for 31 concerts in North American cities. It was on my bucket list... Best concert i have ever seen among so many legendary bands. Jeff Lynne is a music god.
@Jeff Lynne Is this really THE Jeff Lynne? If so, I am extremely honored and excited! You are a musical genius and I have LOVED your music for years! Thank you, thank you for replying to me! I would love to be friends!
I'm 52, and it just lifts your soul, magical music, I'd love to make music, like this, and I play, guitar, it's so hard to come up with songs, but I know, what you mean, this is so uplifting x
Yippie and millrmials ruining the whole thing, herding and clogging things up like they do and not appreciating , ungrateful useless wastes ..this is a treasure of the boomers, mils just go listen to your crud
When planet earth had real fantastic musicians and AI was not around. Jeff Lynne you are the best ever Musically and Artificial Intelligence will screw up the Music world and humanity eventually. Just listen to the Album Time from ELO, Jeff Lynne predicted it would happen this way...This is why he wanted to go back in Time to 1981.
Best live performance i have ever seen. So glad i went to this concert! This video should have 100 million views at the very least. This Jeff Lynne's ELO performance is fantastic! Long live the music genius Jeff Lynne!
I'm so jealous... every time I see one from this concert, I'm jealous of everyone there. And sad to know that there will never be another masterpiece concert as this one😭
I’m going to see them in Boston Monday Night. I’m 65 and have been an ELO Fan since High School. I’m so psyched and I’m going with My 33 Year Old Son. My late Brother Michael turned me on to them back in the day. I wish he could be here to go with us. Thanks for showing me the way Michael. Love and miss You Brother. ❤️🙏
My favorite ELO song. Saw them in Nashville in 2019, and when they started Turn to Stone, I don't think I ever yelled 'yeah!' so hard in my life. I was never one for singing around family, friends, or strangers, but that night I sang every song, I didn't care how I sounded, I just sang my heart out. I would see them again in a heart beat.
It really sucks when you're at a concert and some idiot right beside you is singing at the top of their lungs. I don't pay good money to go to a concert to hear some idiot I want to hear the band
@@joehall5921 If there weren't people around me singing I probably wouldn't have, but everyone I looked at was so happy and singing along I just felt inclined to. It was also my first concert so I was already a bit nervous about singing and possibly disturbing the people around me, but they were all singing so I joined in.
@@josephbanet5410 i did the same thing at a "journey" concert in the mid-2000s. Sang ever song at the top of my lungs...as did everyone else in attendance. Rock on!! \m/
@@fourswords2003 stay home then and let me leave my life. I am healthy. why should I be living my life restricted just because other are sick. I take care of my self since I was a teenager exercising, eating healthy food and so on. Sick people are the one dying not healthy ones. I am over 60 and healthy as young bull.
there is no science behind the government mandate wearing mask. Instead, I use common sense. As long nobody cough or sneeze on your face and stop touching your face nothing will happen. I do not remember when was the last time I have had the flu and never got Flu jab either; it is useless as COVID vaccine; either one do not protect you at all. Read and inform yourself out of the government guidance. Listen to doctors not politicians or public servants. I inform myself and take care of myself as everyone should do.
The amount of effort and attention to detail put into this show is just mind blowing. Talk about giving people their money’s worth! They sound better than they did 40 years ago, and nobody else is even close. We love you Jeff Lynne!
I have two friends, one is a metalhead, the other into funk and jazz. They each saw them in Philadelphia, each said it was the best concert they'd ever seen
Absolute outstanding!! Why is this piece not even played on the radio! It is infinitely better than anything that is currently played. This is REAL music! Rousing and on the very highest level! The bad thing is that nowadays hardly anyone has an ear for the complexity and the musical demand of this music! It immediately pulls you along, you can not remain seated. I feel exactly as if I were in the audience! It's so nice to see people enjoying this music!
There will always b a generation gap but thank god we were alive to enjoy ours, i am 63 and love all the incredible music i grew up with. Thanks for the great videos.
Some facts about Jeff Lynne (ELO)...First, he is a very humble man, simply because this Music Genius is not interested in fame, the limelight, and money, he just loves to create great music. Jeff Lynne is one of the most versatile musicians ever, this is why he is considered by his peers to be among the greatest. He didn't stick to one style of music because, after decades, it gets boring. Jeff has done progressive Rock, Symphonic Rock - Pop, New wave, and Disco. Everything he does turns to gold. He even flirted with Country music. From 1972 to 1986 (During 14 years) Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra has had more top 40 hits than any other group in the world... 51 years later they still play in sold-out Arenas, festivals and Stadiums. During Jeff Lynne's ELO 2019 Tour, many reviews agreed in saying they are the best live Classic Rock Band in the world still touring and Jeff Lynne is a Music Genius( From Forbes Magazine and the Washington Post). ELO is in the Rock Hall of Fame. Lynne is on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and Birmingham Walk OF Fame. Jeff Lynne’s ELO won the Best Classic Rock Band plus Lynne won the best Songwriter award ( ASCAP ) in 2019 for his fantastic contribution over the years. In October of 2020, Jeff Lynne has been made an officer of The Order Of The British Empire for his extraordinary contribution to music. He previously has received three Ivor Novello Awards, which celebrate songwriters and composers, including the award for outstanding services to British music. He created the best Super Group of all time with his best friend George Harrison, The Traveling Wilburys. The Legends in the Music Industry call Jeff Lynne the best overall Musician ever and a Producer Extraordinaire. Jeff Lynne has written and produced many hit songs for music legends like George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Joe Walsh, Brian Wilson, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Bryan Adams, Aerosmith, Del Shannon, the Everly Brothers, The Beatles, and so many others...
The mans voice just seems to get better and better. I’ve followed ELO since I was a teenager, I’m 63. He’s one of the few who sounds as good or better now then back then.
Still very good...but Jeff Lynne & Kelly Grocutte singing those elo harmonies live ..1974 thru 1982 was just perfect...seen every elo tour 1973 thru 1982

I was in my local Dollar General store yesterday. And this came on the store radio. And I thought man it's been years since I heard this and it took me right back to high school in the 70's.
@Irish Viking "Tis blasphemy to "rank" on the Beatles, but yes, this live performance by Jeff Lynne & his current incarnation of ELO pretty much blows away anything by the Beatles. Perhaps if the Beatles had the myriad of back up musicians & vocalists (assuming they all had survived & performed live in their later years), it would have approached Mr. Lynne's production.
Electric Light Orchestra discography From Wikipedia...From 1972 to 1986, ELO accumulated more combined UK and US Top 40 hits than any other band in the world, and also generated the third most UK and US separate Top 40 hits. ❤❤❤
I love ELO. The music just makes me feel so happy and that's a great feeling. When a song makes you want to smile you know it's truly something special and to be cherished.
There are few concerts where I have been moved to tears on multiple occasions throughout the show and ELO was one of them. Jeff is a genius and his music touches my soul!
I'm back in 1977 playing my Out Of the Blue album on my red Dansette record player. ELO have given me so many wonderful memories over the years. We are all so lucky to have Jeff Lynne in the world. He is an absolute genius and his music will live forever.
We Brits know how to churn out a world class band, be merry and have a bloody good time. Look at the state of that audience - so many happy faces having a whale of a time, love it
The audience makes me happy and it's like I'm standing net to them... I watch these video's almost every day, makes me feel good.. thanks to ELO and Jeff Lynne!!!!!
Jeff Lynne is a phenomenal musician, producer, singer, songwriter and arranger. He creates the best fusion for Rock with Classical instruments. The end result is symphonic Rock and Pop with fabulous harmonies. Long live Jeff Lynne’s Electric Light Orchestra (ELO).
Jeff Lynne is a musical BLESSING, whom I am thankful that we still have on this Earth........actually, a project that I hope to pursue one day is an ELO tribute act.
More than 50 years later, Jeff Lynne still selling out all his Tours, filling out Stadiums Arenas and Festivals. Jeff Lynne's ELO was called "The best live Classic Rock Band in the world still Touring"...From Forbes Magazine Summer of 2019.
ELO. This was my favourite era . From a teenager I have fond memories with so many close friends. In the days when everything in life seemed Mellow, Carefree, an era where music was real music. ! . Back Then I Never Thought That Today In 2024 , I Would Find Myself Saying ; .. .. " Back In The Good Old Day's. ( p.s..I may be in my 60s- But, I Still Find The Time To Slide Down Stair Bannisters!. ( my spirit seems to be getting younger !) 😎
I know everyone talks about Jeff Lynne, but I've got to say Lee Pomeroy looks so happy up there playing bass with Jeff and the rest of his band members. He's got to be a real pleasure to work with.
There's a lot of people from many generations ago who have been fans of ELO for years in these comments. I'm glad to be getting into their music now. Such an iconic band!
In October of 2020, Jeff Lynne has been made an officer of The Order Of The British Empire for his extraordinary contribution to music. He previously has received three Ivor Novello Awards, which celebrate songwriters and composers, including the award for outstanding services to British music.
The city streets are empty now THE LIGHTS DON'T SHINE NO MORE and so the songs are way down low TURNING TURNING TURNING A sound that flows into my mind THE ECHOES OF THE DAYLIGHT of everything that is alive IN MY BLUE WORLD I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone. Turn to stone when you comin' home, I can't go on. The dying embers of the night A FIRE THAT SLOWLY FADES TILL DAWN still glow upon the wall so bright BURNING BURNING BURNING The tired streets that hide away FROM HERE TO EVERYWHERE THEY GO roll past my door into the day IN MY BLUE WORLD Yes, I'm turnin' to stone 'cos you ain't comin' home. Why you ain't comin' home if I'm turnin' to stone? You've been gone for so long and I can't carry on, yes, I'm turnin', I'm turnin', I'm turnin' to stone. The dancing shadows on the wall THE TWO-STEP IN THE HALL are all I see since you've been gone TURNING TURNING TURNING Through all I sit here and I wait I TURN TO STONE I TURN TO STONE You will return again some day TO MY BLUE WORLD
I loved the show so very much. It almost brought tears to my eyes. They were my favorite band when I was 12. Thank you, Jeff, for this concert. I may try to go to another concert in October. Thank you for making my childhood dream a reality. I was in the best mood of my life for days after the concert. I love and cherish you and your music.
I've always Ben a big @Elo fan n I always will be!!!🎸💃🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ @jeff is just a great amszingmi singer & artist tbe while band is . ♥️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃 im 57 n i gre up listing to @ELO too .

ELO added the wonderful orchestral sound to their music when they hit the streets in the 1970's. Jeff Lynne is a musical genius and these songs will live on forever.
@Jeff Lynne iwas serving in the British army at that time and we was stationed in Dortmund.buti was born in Lambeth London.due to how I was reared my music. Tastes got better and better If the music is good. It does not matter.what is being played. From ELO to Traveling Willburys .v.the concert for George Harrison .from a streetbusker on Grafton Street Dublin to one in Dortmund.good music worth listening to no matter what style is played.And. YES. I am a fan
This is real music pure and simple will outlast the depths of time.
Finally a worthwhile use for Wembley
Don’t watch soccer, but I get it lol
I'm 11 and I'm listening to this masterpiece
You're 13 now and there is SO MUCH music out there - contemporary and quite old. Rock on!
I'm 75 yrs buddy and still playing it as well. Great minds think alike..😂😂😂😂
I was 12 when this first came out and I'm still listening now. Even have the original album(scratched and unplayable now, but still have it)
ok boomer
And you should.. they are awesome compared to today's music..
Telephone Line was such a big hit in Australia in 1977. I am now almost 70 yr old and still listen to ELO to this day in Dec.2024. I can’t wait to see them perform on July 10,2025 in Manchester, UK.
Brilliant and a true fan to travel I ll be there god willing and I'm only 62 and skipping over from Ireland hope you have a blast take care
@ Thank you, you too! I figured I’m celebrating my 70 th bday next month and Retirement from 50 yrs of Nursing. I deserved this. Off to Europe before the show. Haven’t been to Ireland. Went to Scotland before. Loved it!
@@elfledaang6783 ah I'm so happy for you we were in Scotland April gone and it was stunning again hope you enjoy the concert mind yourself
This black girl loved all of ELO music. It reminds me of my childhood growing up in Grenada 🇬🇩
This is great!♥
Grenada, beautiful place!
mmm hmmm
Clearly you have exquisite taste 👍🏻
notice the general demeanor of the members of the band as they enjoy real time euphoria singing and playing Jeff's " A+ compositions " ........ and the energized audience gets more than their money's worth .
Happy birthday to Jeff Lynne, born December 30, 1947!!!
I really hope ELO tours in 2024 because i will cancel whatever i had planned to get to see this
@@dexter-15 2025 Hyde park London is their final gig
They have their last concerts in Birmingham, Manchester ( July 10, 2025 which I’ll be watching ) and last one at Hyde Park.
I started playing electric six string January 1966
I cover this and enjoy having the privilege of Jeff seated by me at Musso Frank
Notice all you wannabee divas, it's all about the music, Jeff does not take his clothes off or try to be the centre of attention, its just the music and brilliant musicians, and its truly magical. Simples!!
....and every single crowd member has a huge smile on their face! Entertainment at it's finest - The genius that is Jeff Lynne 🥰
hey dont be dissing those of us who take our clothes off (stripper here) jeff is a genius
Absolutely, when you can make great music you don't need to take your clothes off!
That's right - you do that at the after party with Keith Richards running the camcorder.
What an absolutely weird thing to say
One of the greatest rock songs of all time and Jeff Lynn tries to be humble about it but he knows it too! So excellent!
It's 2:14 am on 10/16/19 and I'm sitting here alone listening to my ELO favorites. Hell, I'm 76 yo and in a few short years I'll be sleeping for eternity! Right now, it's my time for ELO!
Bless you Diane 😊👍
Good Luck Diane I'm 53 hope you had a drink or something else to put you in the mood 💚🍹

ELO carried on where The Beatles left. Thank you Jeff Lynne for giving the world this incredible piece of music. Thanks legend.
Well said!!
A correct statement.
ELO is one of the few bands I would pay to see if they return to St. Louis
They will be in concert in St .Louis on September 6 2024
St. Louis, hmmm?
Me too Me too!
Im 29 and this is one of my favorite bands dude they are genuinely amazing
Your not wrong keep delving and welcome to my world of the past 48 years Jeff Lynne is the maestro 😊

Magic man. He is a gift to humanity., so grateful to have listened to him most of my life....
ELO is the most uplifting band in this world. The best music therapy!
this version despite the lyricial content is a cheer me up happy song....the arrangement and music make it that way. this and all over the world.
Amen 🙏 to that
Total Manic Episode!!
Finally!!!!!!.......A lefty Bass player 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
When planet earth had real fantastic musicians and AI was not around. Jeff Lynne you are the best ever Musically and Artificial Intelligence will screw up the Music world and humanity eventually. Just listen to the Album Time from ELO, Jeff Lynne predicted it would happen this way...This is why he wanted to go back in Time to 1981.
I wish could go back in TIME!
It’s called predictive programming. Follow the script, all Hollywood movies since the 70s have been showing us what’s coming. The world is a stage
Jeff has found the fountain of youth. Seems like he never ages
So fortunate to see them this year in Washington DC. Best concert I ever attended. I’m 72 now and still blast em out in my garage.
Best live performance i have ever seen. So glad i went to this concert! This video should have 100 million views at the very least. This Jeff Lynne's ELO performance is fantastic! Long live the music genius Jeff Lynne!
Lucky you, ❤ amazing crowd, lights, effects,stop of the cream
Top of the cream...Yes!👍

XD GB
There will always b a generation gap but thank god we were alive to enjoy ours, i am 63 and love all the incredible music i grew up with. Thanks for the great videos.
One of the most talented musicians of our time spanning over 4 Decades Thank You Jeff !
Some facts about Jeff Lynne (ELO)...First, he is a very humble man, simply because this Music Genius is not interested in fame, the limelight, and money, he just loves to create great music. Jeff Lynne is one of the most versatile musicians ever, this is why he is considered by his peers to be among the greatest. He didn't stick to one style of music because, after decades, it gets boring. Jeff has done progressive Rock, Symphonic Rock - Pop, New wave, and Disco.
Everything he does turns to gold. He even flirted with Country music. From 1972 to 1986 (During 14 years) Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra has had more top 40 hits than any other group in the world... 51 years later they still play in sold-out Arenas, festivals and Stadiums. During Jeff Lynne's ELO 2019 Tour, many reviews agreed in saying they are the best live Classic Rock Band in the world still touring and Jeff Lynne is a Music Genius( From Forbes Magazine and the Washington Post).
ELO is in the Rock Hall of Fame. Lynne is on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and Birmingham Walk OF Fame. Jeff Lynne’s ELO won the Best Classic Rock Band plus Lynne won the best Songwriter award ( ASCAP ) in 2019 for his fantastic contribution over the years. In October of 2020, Jeff Lynne has been made an officer of The Order Of The British Empire for his extraordinary contribution to music. He previously has received three Ivor Novello Awards, which celebrate songwriters and composers, including the award for outstanding services to British music.
He created the best Super Group of all time with his best friend George Harrison, The Traveling Wilburys. The Legends in the Music Industry call Jeff Lynne the best overall Musician ever and a Producer Extraordinaire. Jeff Lynne has written and produced many hit songs for music legends like George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Joe Walsh, Brian Wilson, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Bryan Adams, Aerosmith, Del Shannon, the Everly Brothers, The Beatles, and so many others...
You are so correct.
What song did he flirt with that was country???
So glad they finally got into the RRHOF. Was so angry for so many years, but now they finally made it.
I absolutely turned to stone when you were gone...You are absolutely amazing.....
The mans voice just seems to get better and better. I’ve followed ELO since I was a teenager, I’m 63. He’s one of the few who sounds as good or better now then back then.
So true! Jeff is the best!
Still very good...but Jeff Lynne & Kelly Grocutte singing those elo harmonies live ..1974 thru 1982 was just perfect...seen every elo tour 1973 thru 1982
Yes ELO are the best I'm 71yrs in a few weeks and they are magic to my ears everyday. xxxx❤❤
His voice in this performance is the best I've heard it on this song
There is a lot of autotune here.
I’m 68 and feel like I’m 20 listening to such uplifting music ty Jeff Lynne
Same as you ! Made me smile , take care.
Yeah, at 74 and listening to this keeps me young!

ELO is the best live band i have ever seen. Yes i have seen a lot of legendary bands. MUSICALLY Jeff Lynne is fantastic!
Electric Light Orchestra is a great band, but I bring to your attention Warren Haynes - Old Friend - 9/14/2012 - Telluride Sessions.

Going to see ELO in Sept in Pittsburgh, Can't wait
2024 and this song has one of the greatest beats ever written. Who else is loving this tune?
The joy Jeff Lynne brought to people can be seen on everyone’s face singing in the audience.
When I listen to ELO, the whole damn neighborhood listens to ELO 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
@Jeff Lynne Troll alert fake Jeff
As it should be . They should thank you for the treat and musical edification ! Makes for a much better world .
THE SHERIFF LIKED IT SO MUCH HE SHOWED UP TOO
Love it!!!❤❤😂❤❤
Yeah, I am going!!
I still love this band in 2024!!!
I love it in 2025!
What a remenber, it makes me feel a teenager with my brothers enyoing this ELO vinil discs
Jeff Lynne's ELO Music is the best therapy in this world!
True
E1e
!!!!
I was in my local Dollar General store yesterday. And this came on the store radio. And I thought man it's been years since I heard this and it took me right back to high school in the 70's.
My era too! The best!
Its 2022 and I am into ELO as I was in the 70’s.
My music, my childhood, my dreams….!
I'm right there with you 🥰
Same with me I'm 73 but don't feel it when I sing along to E.L.O .. Mr blue sky is my favourite
Me too
@@susanlee2835 this 63yo has always loved Sweet Talkin Woman 🙂
That bit in the middle (around the 2:00 mark)
JUST WOW😁😁😁
The people jumping around, singing along and smiling says it all.
That's wat it's all about .enjoy it why yeah can
mid age peeps like me at 57
This is what music is about making people happy i listen to music everyday when I get home from work, i go into another world.
FOBES MAGAZINE AUGUST 2019: " Jeff Lynne's ELO is the best live classic Rock band in the world still Touring". And yes i agree!
Oh my ELO perfect performance stage looks amazing but for the best of best these are fantastic my favourite always 💯⭐️🎤❤️🎹🎸🥰💟🇬🇧
John lennon once said if The Beatles had kept going they would have sounded like ELO what a complement to Jeff Lynne.
Paul Jackson In my opinion ELO is better than the Beatles
IMO Harrison was already working with Lynne then
IMO Elo (Jeff Lynne) was inspired by The Beatles. If it hadn't been for The Beatles,who knows young Jeff wouldn't have picked the guitar up.
Same high quality British music.
@Irish Viking "Tis blasphemy to "rank" on the Beatles, but yes, this live performance by Jeff Lynne & his current incarnation of ELO pretty much blows away anything by the Beatles. Perhaps if the Beatles had the myriad of back up musicians & vocalists (assuming they all had survived & performed live in their later years), it would have approached Mr. Lynne's production.
Fantastic live performance. Sad we’ll never see anything even close to this talent again.
@@classicrockfan8034 modern day hits beg to differ
Electric Light Orchestra discography
From Wikipedia...From 1972 to 1986, ELO accumulated more combined UK and US Top 40 hits than any other band in the world, and also generated the third most UK and US separate Top 40 hits. ❤❤❤
Easily my favorite ELO song and performance. Turned 71 a week ago and love to rock out with this.
@1:58 is the perfect example of Jeff Lynne's Brilliance as a Writer/Arranger. The crowd reaction is totally appropriate!
He knows what he's doing.
I don´t know what I love more, the music or all those happy faces in the audience :)
Both! It's awesome!
I love ELO. The music just makes me feel so happy and that's a great feeling. When a song makes you want to smile you know it's truly something special and to be cherished.
I KNOW! I see our history of great music, but especially the families dancing with their kids!!! Awesome
😀🤝🏻🥁🤘🏻✌️🏻
There are few concerts where I have been moved to tears on multiple occasions throughout the show and ELO was one of them. Jeff is a genius and his music touches my soul!
So true!
the same to me
Lucky enough to see them in sheffield around this time..cost a fortune but would've sold my soul to the devil to see them live...
Notice how well behaved the crowd is? Dancing.. embracing.. loving it :)
Yes, we were teens and young adults in the 70s, raised on music like this. I'd go back to the 70s and stay.....FOREVER
I AM A COUNTRY ROCK DRUMMER AND ALL I CAN SAY IS ELO IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE CHOICE OF MUSIC SINCE 1980 AND DAMN WORTH SEEING IN CONCERT!!!!
god, how embarrassing. Where is all the bottle throwing, violence and thuggery! we've been let down!
What does that comment even mean? Well behaved?
Yeah it wasn’t the violent ELO crowds we were all led to expect. The pure mayhem. it’s missing
The best music on YT is really on the ELO Channel.
I'm back in 1977 playing my Out Of the Blue album on my red Dansette record player. ELO have given me so many wonderful memories over the years. We are all so lucky to have Jeff Lynne in the world. He is an absolute genius and his music will live forever.
Yes! Had the 8-track and my '74 Nova SS...had it going out the rolled down windows all around town. I was 18. ;)
I’m looking at the age of the crowd. You youngsters mixed a great era in music. I’m glad I was there!!
The Beethoven of our generation.
We Brits know how to churn out a world class band, be merry and have a bloody good time. Look at the state of that audience - so many happy faces having a whale of a time, love it
I think my favorite parts of this amazing concert are the shots of the audience. Long live ELO.
Yep! Just a thrilled audience!🤗
Yeah, the people in the audience are having an absolute blast
Totally agree 80k not 1 problem in crowd
The audience makes me happy and it's like I'm standing net to them...
I watch these video's almost every day, makes me feel good.. thanks to ELO and Jeff Lynne!!!!!
I laughed at the oldies letting it all go to this tune and then I thought hold on they're my age 😮 and I still love this music 😂
Hey Jeff, you are undoubtedly the Koolest Kat in the entire world!!!!Hats Off😊😅😊😅
Jeff Lynne is a phenomenal musician, producer, singer, songwriter and arranger. He creates the best fusion for Rock with Classical instruments. The end result is symphonic Rock and Pop with fabulous harmonies. Long live Jeff Lynne’s Electric Light Orchestra (ELO).
TURN TO STONE
Jeff Lynne is a musical BLESSING, whom I am thankful that we still have on this Earth........actually, a project that I hope to pursue one day is an ELO tribute act.
Love seeing a wide variety of ages in the crowd. Timeless band, timeless music, timeless fanbase.
More than 50 years later, Jeff Lynne still selling out all his Tours, filling out Stadiums Arenas and Festivals. Jeff Lynne's ELO was called "The best live Classic Rock Band in the world still Touring"...From Forbes Magazine Summer of 2019.
I love this band of Jeff lynne he is a real best musician coordinates everything to the last detail. He is wonderful
ELO. This was my favourite era . From a teenager I have fond memories with so many close friends.
In the days when everything in life seemed Mellow, Carefree, an era where music was real music. ! .
Back Then I Never Thought That Today In 2024 , I Would Find Myself Saying ; ..
.. " Back In The Good Old Day's.
( p.s..I may be in my 60s- But, I Still Find The Time To Slide Down Stair Bannisters!.
( my spirit seems to be getting younger !)

I know everyone talks about Jeff Lynne, but I've got to say Lee Pomeroy looks so happy up there playing bass with Jeff and the rest of his band members. He's got to be a real pleasure to work with.
He really is. Jeff loves all his actual Tour members.
I’m only 16 but I love Jeff Lynne and elo with a whole lot of my heart and I wish music today was this great!
I'm 9 and I love this!

The city streets are empty now THE LIGHTS DON'T SHINE NO MORE
and so the songs are way down low TURNING TURNING TURNING
A sound that flows into my mind THE ECHOES OF THE DAYLIGHT
of everything that is alive IN MY BLUE WORLD
I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone.
Turn to stone when you comin' home, I can't go on.
The dying embers of the night A FIRE THAT SLOWLY FADES TILL DAWN
still glow upon the wall so bright BURNING BURNING BURNING
The tired streets that hide away FROM HERE TO EVERYWHERE THEY GO
roll past my door into the day IN MY BLUE WORLD
Yes, I'm turnin' to stone 'cos you ain't comin' home.
Why you ain't comin' home if I'm turnin' to stone?
You've been gone for so long and I can't carry on,
yes, I'm turnin', I'm turnin', I'm turnin' to stone.
The dancing shadows on the wall THE TWO-STEP IN THE HALL
are all I see since you've been gone TURNING TURNING TURNING
Through all I sit here and I wait I TURN TO STONE I TURN TO STONE
You will return again some day TO MY BLUE WORLD
Jeff must be made of wine....he gets better with age. My God store this wine bottle like it's gold.
leokimvideo It's hard to believe Jeff will turn 70 this year,he forgot to age.
Remind me to grow a beard and wear sunglasses all the time..That helps! His voice is great for his age. Clear and tuneful. Amazing.
Patricia Z. Thank. I yug
i need to go to the dispensary
leokimvideo I agree.. Blessed be! I love ELO from my heart✨⚡💜❤🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧⚡⚡🌏
I loved the show so very much. It almost brought tears to my eyes. They were my favorite band when I was 12. Thank you, Jeff, for this concert. I may try to go to another concert in October. Thank you for making my childhood dream a reality. I was in the best mood of my life for days after the concert. I love and cherish you and your music.

Jeff Lynne’s voice is so beautiful! Everything he does is ridiculously PERFECT!
Tanya I agree Perfect guy,
Perfect songs, Perfect Band.
No doubt this is the Band of all bands, ridiculously perfect.
ELO added the wonderful orchestral sound to their music when they hit the streets in the 1970's. Jeff Lynne is a musical genius and these songs will live on forever.
I first saw ELO. In. Dortmund Germany and became. A. Fan then ..no. One can compete or beat this music master.just as good now as then.
@Jeff Lynne iwas serving in the British army at that time and we was stationed in Dortmund.buti was born in Lambeth London.due to how I was reared my music. Tastes got better and better If the music is good. It does not matter.what is being played.
