Well it's probably not in the best 50 songs he's written. So he's probably being accurate. But that doesn't mean it's a mediocre song. It means, when you're a genius, even your mediocre songs are world famous and fantastic.
I still can't comprehend how The Beatles literally have like 150+ incredible songs that I never get tired of listening to. Most bands go at the absolute deepest maybe 20 great songs. Then there's the greatest music group to ever exist.
I'm a huge fan too. I was born in 1961 and had there 45's then albums. Hey Bulldog is the most under appreciated song and unknown by many in their catalog. Sublime lyrics by Lennon and good rocking tune. It's in my top 5 for them. George's Old Brown Shoe is another over looked song also.
@@Rowlph8888 Except he's not playing the real bass line..he's playing the root notes of the chord changes like any beginner or bad bass player would. My guess is he's really good if they chose him to be up there but he didn't have time to learn all the songs. Check out the Beatles version and what Paul plays, it's incredible.
Amen Carl! I heard it for the first time on 8 track in my parents 77 LTD had a quadraphonic sound system. The tape was titled Beatles Rock and Roll music. Hey Bull Dog stuck out the most to me ! Love everything about the song!
@@billybentley4755 I had that 8 track also, vol. 1&2. Had non-descriptive label and one 8track case was red and the other blue. George laid down a bold lead riff on an SG and Paul dubbed in a party down on the bass. Always one of my favorites and then one of our best bar bands around here in Detroit rocked it back in the ‘70’s and fit it in between all the hard rock covers they were doing, perfectly. Thanks Stonebridge and Bobby George.

This is such an incredible backing ensemble - Peter Frampton and Steve Lukather on guitar, Don Was on bass, Kenny Aranoff on drums, Lenny Castro on percussion and Gregg Phillinganes on keys! All legends in the own right not to even mention Grohl and Lynne.
The main thing is that the two front men adequately handled the vocal lines and that Lukather did George's solo guitar on the song fairly well. It was a homage.
@@lgaytan65Paul actually was genius. Without him we wouldn’t have had the epic ending to A Day In The Life as an example. I think Paul was absolutely genius!!!
He's really an amazing, special talent. Drummer in a legendary band, front man of another great band, always putting stuff out, making movies, doing comedy, jamming with the greats on stage, and seems to be just a good dude. He's one of his generation's best, and I'm not even really a Nirvana or Foo fan!
Thomas Bishop he always does. It is the hardest thing for him to just watch. He loves playing and singing. He said: "I would do it for free." He is happy to be paid for it, but he does a lot,of freebies too, because he just loves music.
the ultimate rocker, Jeff Lynne, knowing this is Dave's gig, near the end of the song,looks over to him direction as to where Dave wants the to go. and follows Dave lead.
any musician, or person for that matter who doesn't at least respect the hell out of the Beatles is absolutely not to be trusted. Dude even Shaquille O'Neal referenced the John/Paul relationship in reference to his friendship with Kobe Bryant in his great speech at the Kobe memorial. That is how huge the Beatles' impact still is to this day. Kurt was also a huge fan, obviously.
Music Lover No doubt. My buddy who saw him in concert last year said that the sound was incredible. I knew it would be because Lynn is such a talent on both sides of the mixing board.
Greg Boyko We have had the chance to see him 4 times in the last 4 years ...Forbes Magazine and other reviews have mentioned, Jeff Lynne’s Electric Light Orchestra is the best live classic Rock Band in the world. Awesome in concert!
Jeff Lynne (ELO, Traveling Wilburys, The Move and The Idle Race) is the most talented-best overall musician and producer ever, at the same time he is such a humble down to earth man with kindness. Please Tour with Jeff Lynne's ELO in 2022!!!
According to the Beatles and many other Music Legends, Jeff Lynne is one of the best overall musicians and producers they have ever met... From the awesome 2012 BBC Documentary Mr. Blue Sky: The Story Of Jeff Lynne.
It's a travesty he hasn't been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in his own right! He has done so much more for Rock & Roll than just being the founder ELO!
@@robertmcaree7016 Yes he should have been in the RRHOF as Jeff Lynne years ago. At least he is in as a member of ELO. We need a petition. Jeff deserves recognition as one of the greatest musicians, songwriters and producers ever in the Music industry.
Jeff Lynne's ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA from Forbes Magazine: ELO stands alone. No other band has created such a glorious merger of rock melodies and symphonic orchestration, generating undeniable pop hits within cohesive, meticulously constructed album-length programs. Led by vocalist, guitarist, composer and producer Jeff Lynne, the Electric Light Orchestra has been fueled by a commitment to pop songcraft and a visionary use of recording-studio wizardry. Transcendent tracks like "Can't Get It Out of My Head," "Evil Woman," "Telephone Line" and "Don't Bring Me Down" remain fixtures on playlists around the globe.
Folks, if this cover doesn’t give you chills and a happy memory of the greatest band in history, nothing will…..it just doesn’t get any cooler than this……enjoy !!!!
I would have gotten chills if they added the barking. The fact that they didn't tells me they felt above reenacting the playfulness that the Beatles displayed. Making an original your own is one thing, omitting the signature effect within the song is slightly disrespectful IMO
That riff is so amazing. I loved Hey Bulldog when the album first came out. I couldn’t get enough of it. I wasn’t crazy about the album but it was the only way you could get Bulldog.
Bulldog was huge, but the songs also included Harrison's oft overlooked "It's All Too Much" and I also liked the sly simplicity of McCartney's, "....can I take my friend to bed?" Beatles were the best, even in their minor masterpieces.
Don't forget life is short...Celebrate Legends while they are still alive. Jeff Lynne’s latest album From Out Of Nowhere was no. 1 on the UK charts in November 2019. Jeff Lynne's ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA will Tour again in 2022! From 1972 to 1986 Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra has had more top 40 hits than any other groups in the world. 50 years later they still play in sold-out Arenas and Stadiums. I saw them again in the Summer of 2019 on the US and Canada Tour...( Best Concert of my life) All the reviews agree they are the best live classic Rock band in the world still touring and Jeff Lynne is a Music Genius. His band 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 Song Writer award ( ASCAP ) 2019 for his fantastic contribution over the years. Jeff Lynne received in 2020 the OBE (officer of the British Empire) for his outstanding contribution in the Music industry. The Legends in the Music Industry like Paul, Ringo, Joe Walsh, Tom Petty and so many others called Lynne the best overall musician and producer ever…Source The Brilliant 2012 documentary by the BBC Mr. Blue Sky: « The Story Of Jeff Lynne ». Long live Jeff Lynne’s ELO!
My Favourite Beatles song performed by amazing musicians. Dave Grohl was amazing but Jeff Lynne continues to be epic. Love them both. Cool factor 15 out of 10.
George Harrison said it many times, Jeff Lynne made him a better singer as he said in the following ineterview...No wonder why, Lynne has such a unique and beautiful voice. th-cam.com/video/CETR-zQTzdc/w-d-xo.html
Right! And it was a tribute. Steve Lukather knows you can't change a note in a Beatles song without ruining it. His tribute demonstrates his greatness and George's greatness too.
The Beatles Vocal Harmony However there are excellent improvisations on that one; June Millington playing the solo on the Hey Bulldog cover of the band Fanny.
They remain the most covered band of all time, yet pick any one of their songs and which version is always the preferred version? The original Beatles version, every fucking time. Some attempts have been flashier (Jimi Hendrix's Sgt Peppers), some attempts have been more epic (Joe Cocker's With a Little Help from My Friends), some have been more soulful (Stevie Wonder's We Can Work It Out), but it's the tightness and well roundedness of the band that creates a sound nobody can surpass. Like artists have been scurrying for 60 years to make a better Beatles song than The Beatles themselves and it is yet to happen even once lol
@@ThatOtherRaccoon quite a few people feel that way, but I'm not one of them. I'll take the original over Joe Cocker's cover any day of the week, and twice on Sundays.
In the midst of all the honor being cast out to them, the revelation that their music touched the souls of those who will walk the earth an entire lifetime beyond them was the most powerful.
My dads favourite band my favourite band and my little daughters favourite band. That is what the beatles do to you. They get past down in generations. To be a beatles fan its in your genes!!!!!
@@peterparker642 no you can say that Jeff worked with Ringo ,McCartney ,Harrison ,and Lennon even called Lynne’s band the son of the Beatles cause of there great song Showdown
@@nastyhardcore7641 It's Kenny Aronoff. He's played with just about everyone at one time or another. His longest stint was with John Mellencamp back in the 80's.
Paul, he's more than air drummer!! he is a good drummer, by the way he is playing drum on Concrete and Gold from the Foo Figthers! for me Paul he's the best from the beattles (writting, playing lot of instruments, still on stage and always open for new fun) Ringo... he's...Ringo... he's (for me) still the guy was going to knock on the Mc Cartney house for give the letter from ''The Beattles" who ask to Paul to postpone the release of his own album.
@@mackaddams2899 dude chill i didn't asked you for your opinion, btw ringo is not more than decent. Every one is admiring him and for what? For playing the same 2&4 beat on literally every song?
@@mackaddams2899 Press to John Lennon - "Do you think Ringo is one of the best drummers in the world?" John - "Ringo? He's not even the best drummer in the Beatles" LMFAO
I also love the Fanny´s cover version. This is Beatles´ best hard rock grunge tune. A true masterpiece. The way the piano walks up the scale in staccato fashion during the chorus followed by the heavy guitar riff on the bridge is...genius. So is the lyrics. True poetry. "Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles".... "Some kind of innocense is measured out in years"..."Some kind of solitude is measured out in you. You think you know me but you haven´t got a clew!"
@Debbie Smith actually that would have been prettyy good if they let her do the end. It was a let down when they didn't do the howling and screaming chaos lile on the original.
Like Music Lover said...Only facts...The great Jeff Lynne has a new album out since November 1st, 2019 which was no.1 in the UK last November. Jeff Lynne's ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA is still Touring! 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. 50 years later they still play in sold-out Arenas and Stadiums. we saw them again last Summer of 2019 on the North American Tour...( Best Concert of our life) All the reviews agree they are the best live act in the world and Jeff Lynne is a Music Genius.

Long live Jeff Lynne’s ELO! Please Tour in 2021!
Jeff Lynne is the most talented Music God ever. He will be 71 in 2018 and his voice is Gold. All his live concerts sound as good if not better than the original recordings...Not many bands and musicians can match that. Just have a listen from Jeff Lynne's ELO at Wembley Stadium June 24 2017... Can't wait to see Jeff Lynne's ELO on the 2018 Europe and North American Tour. I just received my tickets for LA , NY and Toronto.
Still can't believe i've never heard this song and the radiation that this singer does is very well done. They are definitely and always have been one of my top favorite rock and roll groups.Actually , they've always been my number one.
How great musicians, like David, Jeff and so many others, give so fantastically the uniqueness of the Beatles .... How the music of the four children from Liverpool, unites people .... Their love .... .Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for what you have given us and it is the journey to infinity ...
diver dave - hes been producer for the surviving members, although hes lesser famous hes a giant , he was the star there, for ten years ago this wasnt the man that you just called to perform
The moment the riff starts, everyone rocking back and forth, uncluding me...Impossible not to. What a riff, what a drum groove, what a bassline, what a guitar solo...And all for an relatively unknown track which would have been the best single of many bands then and now...That was The Beatles' level.
YOU SEE EVERYBODYS HEADS BOBBING LIKE THAT AT 1:14? THAT is what this extremely GROOVY song does to EVERYONE. One of the best Beatles rock songs, it's a shame it goes unnoticed in a lot of circles!

I had to go back and listen to John sing it. Dear God. Talk about a great singer!! From the back of the throat maybe but for sure from the soul. He FELT it!!
Jeff Lynne and ELO has been the closest thing to the Beatles since the Beatles broke up, has been one of the most important musicians, songwriters and producers over the past nearly 50 years. He produced albums for Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Brian Wilson, Del Shannon the ex Beatles as well, for Paul, George and Ringo. He was in the Traveling Wilburys which he formed with George. Dhani Harrison is opening for his 2019 tour. He produced Free As a Bird and Real Love for The Beatles. John Lennon called ELO the Son of the Beatles. George Martin and Jeff Lynne are the two producers who worked their magic with the Beatles and glad Jeff is starting to get the respect he deserves. "We're gonna play Electric Light Orchestra from last year - "Showdown" - which I thought was a great record and I was expecting it to be number one but I don't think UA got their fingers out and pushed it. And it's a nice group. I call them 'son of Beatles' - although they're doing things that we never did, obviously. But I remember the statement they made when they first formed was to carry on where 'The Beatles' left off with "Walrus" - and they certainly did ..." - John Lennon
"Jeff Lynne and ELO has been the closest thing to the Beatles since the Beatles broke up" Based on what body of work? Most people would recognise maybe two songs he wrote. Give me a break. How the hell is he even close to The Beatles? Do you even like music?
@@tejasmohite2651 - I'm aware John Lennon complimented ELO's music. The comment was "Jeff Lynne and ELO has been the closest thing to the Beatles since the Beatles broke up." I'm not attacking ELO and Jeff Lynne and I actually bought a couple of ELO's singles back in 1977. Jeff Lynn and ELO were never that big or important in music, let alone on the level of The Beatles. They didn't even have a No 1 single or album in the UK or USA. Lynne went on to produce albums for a few great artists towards the end of their careers. Fantastic! I'm no knocking the guy. The Beatles comparatively were the most successful band in the world and continue to be so 50 years later. They have outsold every other band and were so popular at the time they coined the term 'Beatlemania.' Their first appearance on U.S. TV was the most-watched TV event after the Moon landing. The Beatles were also massively original, changed popular music forever and still considered the greatest of all time continuing to inspire new artists to this day. They changed, not only popular music forever, but impacted the world arguably more than any artist in any genre in history.
@@AnyoneCanSee For you not to understand what he means about Jeff Lynne's Beatles vibe and influence in the music industry makes me wanna ask you that same question.
Whenever I feel a bit down, I watch a couple of my favorite music videos. This is always part of the mix. It gives me goosebumps and hope for humanity.
Seven, or eight of today's very best rock and roll musicians on the same stage, with the best high tech sound equipment money can buy in the 21st century, and they can't make as much rock and roll sound as John, Paul, George, and Ringo did, in 1968? At least Dave had his description correct

I did see Jeff Lynne’s Electric Light Orchestra in New York 2016 Toronto in 2018 and 2019. They were voted the best live classic Rock Band in the world 🌎 and after seeing about more than 200 concerts in my life I totally agree. Let’s hope they tour one more time in 2022-2023. I will go wherever they play.🙏❤️👍
subpar version.... no one has ever made a Beatles cover that eclipsed the original. someone prove me wrong. no, it wasnt Joe Cocker. close but no cigar. no one can touch these guys and no one ever will. 50 years of history agrees.

This has been my hands-down favorite Beatles song since I was 9 years old, and I'm nearly 56 years old now. I never really understood why I loved it so much more than their other material, it was all really good. I still don't know why, but I'm glad to find out that it wasn't just me. "If you're lonely, you can talk to me."
HooseBinPharteen This song, along with "And Your Bird Can Sing", is my favorite Beatles song. Sometimes a casual Beatles fan will ask me what my favorite song by then is. I mention these songs and get a lot of blank looks back.
Me too. The part I always loved, and I bought this album in like...!972 or 3...was where John and Paul have the conversation at the end where John is interviewing Paul and I think Paul is the Bulldog and then they both start howling and screaming...which is, when you think about it, what they were at first famous for. But what I didn't like about that album was the one side that was all orchestral.
"If you're lonely you can talk to me." - It just now struck me as oddly appropriate that, on the Yellow Submarine soundtrack, "Eleanor Rigby" immediately follows this song.
Jeff Lynne and Peter Frampton playing on his left hand side are two of the most talented and yet underrated guitar players and singers along with Lindsay Buckingham.
Seeing Dave's little girl brought tears to my eyes. My own baby girl (now 37) was likewise raised on the Beatles hearing them first at about the same age. She's still their biggest fan!
John Lennon considered *Hey Bulldog* a "throw away" song. It has always been one of my favorites,
Blue I don’t think John is a very good judge of his own music
Mine too!
He called "Dig A Pony" the worst song he ever wrote. But that's another I like a lot
Well it's probably not in the best 50 songs he's written. So he's probably being accurate. But that doesn't mean it's a mediocre song. It means, when you're a genius, even your mediocre songs are world famous and fantastic.
He had like 3 favorite songs he wrote and a whole lot of "garbage"
Jeff Lynne has to be the most humble man and most talented man in the music industry.
@JDTX Well said.
Tom Petty said that Jeff Lynne knew more about music than anyone he ever knew.
@@donshe50yahoo True!
He's just lovely. You never hear any negatives about Jeff, or Dave for that matter

So true!!!
Comeback? When did he ever go away?
@@Tikiguy007 so glad you said this . 👍
George stopped performing for years. Lynn and Clapton helped long after the Beatles broke up.
But is that his real hair?
This is such an incredible backing ensemble - Peter Frampton and Steve Lukather on guitar, Don Was on bass, Kenny Aranoff on drums, Lenny Castro on percussion and Gregg Phillinganes on keys! All legends in the own right not to even mention Grohl and Lynne.
The main thing is that the two front men adequately handled the vocal lines and that Lukather did George's solo guitar on the song fairly well. It was a homage.
Right, like, the backing group are doing all the work; Lynne and Grohl are just kind of there.
Definitely and sadly such an overlooked Beatles song. Fabulous lyrics by John Lennon, great musicians that rock it.
I'd pay to see THAT band
Isn’t that Ray Cooper on drums?
How modern sounding was this song in the first place! John was a genius. Great cover!
I think Oasis is very influenced by this song
exactly, it doesn't sound like something from the 60s
It makes me remember old TV series that we used to see those beatifull afternoons on '70...
Paul was awesome, but John was the genius with the Beatles.

Dave Grohl is quickly becoming one of my favorite musicians. Just because he seems to make it a priority to be a good human being.
He's really an amazing, special talent. Drummer in a legendary band, front man of another great band, always putting stuff out, making movies, doing comedy, jamming with the greats on stage, and seems to be just a good dude. He's one of his generation's best, and I'm not even really a Nirvana or Foo fan!
Yeah..I don't care much for Nirvana or Foo Fighters, but I LOVE Dave Grohl!!
The same can be said about the Music Genius Jeff Lynne. All the Beatles would say the same.
And a great Father too , Happy Fathers Day great dads everywhere !
Na, Jeff Lynne and Paul McCartney...
Looked like Paul was wanting to run up there and join them!
Well done!
Thomas Bishop he always does. It is the hardest thing for him to just watch. He loves playing and singing. He said: "I would do it for free." He is happy to be paid for it, but he does a lot,of freebies too, because he just loves music.
I agree! He wanted to be up there so bad!!!
Yeah! Where was the bass line? Paul needs to have a thousand lives to receive all the homages he deserves!
love that Paul was singing along and Ringo air drumming to this awesome tune. well done Dave and Jeff

I can like Dave Grohl just for the fact that he likes The Beatles
any musician, or person for that matter who doesn't at least respect the hell out of the Beatles is absolutely not to be trusted. Dude even Shaquille O'Neal referenced the John/Paul relationship in reference to his friendship with Kobe Bryant in his great speech at the Kobe memorial. That is how huge the Beatles' impact still is to this day. Kurt was also a huge fan, obviously.
Liam and Noel's logic
Dave literally likes everything.
@@Bellocks1 he is not down with earwax flan.
Philip Roach that’s gonna be the name of my next band. The Earwax Flan.
Awesome. Grohl is great but Lynn’s harmonies are incredible.
Greg Boyko Jeff Lynne is amazing in what ever he does in Music.
Music Lover No doubt. My buddy who saw him in concert last year said that the sound was incredible. I knew it would be because Lynn is such a talent on both sides of the mixing board.
Greg Boyko We have had the chance to see him 4 times in the last 4 years ...Forbes Magazine and other reviews have mentioned, Jeff Lynne’s Electric Light Orchestra is the best live classic Rock Band in the world. Awesome in concert!
I agree
I am so glad I finally saw Jeff Lynn live in 2018. Did not dissapoint!
It's an underrated song. It's dark, heavy and rock 'n' roll. It's the Beatles song that I've listened to most in the past 10 years.
I love how he describe John's voice. It's perfect. This whole song is perfect. Jack-knife in your sweaty hands....
Ye i am a Beatles Fan too. Nice tribute to John's voice. Could John Fogerty produce that kind of voice -like Lennon in Twist and Shout ?
0:42 Ringo was pointing himself, so cute
"I remember, I was there!" Very funny!
Mr. Grohl, like the Fab, can do anything and does everything perfectly. Great seeing Jeff Lynne and Peter Frampton up there! Love this!
Jeff Lynne (ELO, Traveling Wilburys, The Move and The Idle Race) is the most talented-best overall musician and producer ever, at the same time he is such a humble down to earth man with kindness. Please Tour with Jeff Lynne's ELO in 2022!!!
Every Beatles song was a winner to me.. I never heard a bad one in the entire catalog…. Thanks to the Beatles for existing in my lifetime….
You know my name look up the number?.....that one's pretty tough for me lol....although Paul really likes that one! To each his own....
According to the Beatles and many other Music Legends, Jeff Lynne is one of the best overall musicians and producers they have ever met... From the awesome 2012 BBC Documentary Mr. Blue Sky: The Story Of Jeff Lynne.
Jeff Lynne rules! Still making great music and still touring at 72. Stay young Jeff we need your music. Very nice cover.
It's a travesty he hasn't been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in his own right! He has done so much more for Rock & Roll than just being the founder ELO!
@@robertmcaree7016 Yes he should have been in the RRHOF as Jeff Lynne years ago. At least he is in as a member of ELO. We need a petition. Jeff deserves recognition as one of the greatest musicians, songwriters and producers ever in the Music industry.
Jeff Lynne apparently likes to fly under the radar ~~ but what talent.
Jeff Lynne's ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA from Forbes Magazine: ELO stands alone. No other band has created such a glorious merger of rock melodies and symphonic orchestration, generating undeniable pop hits within cohesive, meticulously constructed album-length programs. Led by vocalist, guitarist, composer and producer Jeff Lynne, the Electric Light Orchestra has been fueled by a commitment to pop songcraft and a visionary use of recording-studio wizardry. Transcendent tracks like "Can't Get It Out of My Head," "Evil Woman," "Telephone Line" and "Don't Bring Me Down" remain fixtures on playlists around the globe.
Folks, if this cover doesn’t give you chills and a happy memory of the greatest band in history, nothing will…..it just doesn’t get any cooler than this……enjoy !!!!
I would have gotten chills if they added the barking. The fact that they didn't tells me they felt above reenacting the playfulness that the Beatles displayed. Making an original your own is one thing, omitting the signature effect within the song is slightly disrespectful IMO
That riff is so amazing. I loved Hey Bulldog when the album first came out. I couldn’t get enough of it. I wasn’t crazy about the album but it was the only way you could get Bulldog.
El solo de guitarra es de Steve Lukather de Toto
@@ricardogarrido6445 Thanks Ray
Bulldog was huge, but the songs also included Harrison's oft overlooked "It's All Too Much" and I also liked the sly simplicity of McCartney's, "....can I take my friend to bed?" Beatles were the best, even in their minor masterpieces.
the album was worth it for "Bulldog,, All too much.. and only a northern song
Don't forget life is short...Celebrate Legends while they are still alive. Jeff Lynne’s latest album From Out Of Nowhere was no. 1 on the UK charts in November 2019. Jeff Lynne's ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA will Tour again in 2022! From 1972 to 1986 Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra has had more top 40 hits than any other groups in the world. 50 years later they still play in sold-out Arenas and Stadiums. I saw them again in the Summer of 2019 on the US and Canada Tour...( Best Concert of my life) All the reviews agree they are the best live classic Rock band in the world still touring and Jeff Lynne is a Music Genius. His band 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 Song Writer award ( ASCAP ) 2019 for his fantastic contribution over the years. Jeff Lynne received in 2020 the OBE (officer of the British Empire) for his outstanding contribution in the Music industry. The Legends in the Music Industry like Paul, Ringo, Joe Walsh, Tom Petty and so many others called Lynne the best overall musician and producer ever…Source The Brilliant 2012 documentary by the BBC Mr. Blue Sky: « The Story Of Jeff Lynne ». Long live Jeff Lynne’s ELO!
ELO and the FOO guy knocked it out...Thx
Dave and Jeff's vocal fit together perfectly in this song
My Favourite Beatles song performed by amazing musicians. Dave Grohl was amazing but Jeff Lynne continues to be epic. Love them both. Cool factor 15 out of 10.
George Harrison said it many times, Jeff Lynne made him a better singer as he said in the following ineterview...No wonder why, Lynne has such a unique and beautiful voice. th-cam.com/video/CETR-zQTzdc/w-d-xo.html
Dear John, RIP.
Guitar solo by the amazing Steve Lukather!
no...he copied georges solo note for note...
Right! And it was a tribute. Steve Lukather knows you can't change a note in a Beatles song without ruining it. His tribute demonstrates his greatness and George's greatness too.
The Beatles Vocal Harmony Your channel is the best!
Il tuo canale è il migliore!
Thank you!
The Beatles Vocal Harmony However there are excellent improvisations on that one; June Millington playing the solo on the Hey Bulldog cover of the band Fanny.
Pretty dang Cool!!!
I bet many in the audience had probably never heard “Hey Bulldog” before.
WHAT A GREAT PERFORMANCE OF A GREAT SONG, AND A GREAT PEACEFUL MAN, MAY MR. JOHN WINSTON LENNON R.I.P. HE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN, COUSIN FIGEL
You know how great The Beatles are when nine accomplished musicians cover one of their songs and the original still sounds much better.
They remain the most covered band of all time, yet pick any one of their songs and which version is always the preferred version? The original Beatles version, every fucking time. Some attempts have been flashier (Jimi Hendrix's Sgt Peppers), some attempts have been more epic (Joe Cocker's With a Little Help from My Friends), some have been more soulful (Stevie Wonder's We Can Work It Out), but it's the tightness and well roundedness of the band that creates a sound nobody can surpass. Like artists have been scurrying for 60 years to make a better Beatles song than The Beatles themselves and it is yet to happen even once lol
@@daryl7531 I agree wholeheartedly except for With A Little Help From My Friends. I enjoyed the Joe Cocker version over the original.
I sort of disagree about that, this version is REALLY good, and as good, if not better than the orginal.
The original is not live
@@ThatOtherRaccoon quite a few people feel that way, but I'm not one of them. I'll take the original over Joe Cocker's cover any day of the week, and twice on Sundays.
What a beautiful introduction
In the midst of all the honor being cast out to them, the revelation that their music touched the souls of those who will walk the earth an entire lifetime beyond them was the most powerful.
My dads favourite band my favourite band and my little daughters favourite band. That is what the beatles do to you. They get past down in generations. To be a beatles fan its in your genes!!!!!
Is that violet grohl?
Concur. Jeff Lynn needs to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!
ELO is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
Jeff Lynne is AWESOME!! Then and Now..love ya Jeff...
The best!
Yes. He is. I love him too
Jeff Lynne and Dave Grohl are 2 of the coolest gentlemen in rock n roll! 🕶🎸
How can match the Beatles??? They are the Beatles...great job...love both
I don't think that they were trying to match the Beatles, just showing them respect!
you cant say that while paul and ringo are sitting right there
@@peterparker642 no you can say that Jeff worked with Ringo ,McCartney ,Harrison ,and Lennon even called Lynne’s band the son of the Beatles cause of there great song Showdown
Guitars: Peter Frampton and Steve Lukather (of the band Toto).
I don't remember the name of the drummer but he was in the Smashing Pumpkins as a touring drummer in 1998. Good drummer, can't recall the name.
@@nastyhardcore7641 It's Kenny Aronoff. He's played with just about everyone at one time or another. His longest stint was with John Mellencamp back in the 80's.
Also Don Was on bass. Pretty decent back up band.
Yes! It is one of my favorites. The Beatles sound like they're having fun. Thank you.
That's the overriding feel of all their music.
Dave and Jeff NEED to put this to Record there voices are PERFECT and i love this song because of Dave Grohl and Jeff Lynne
Puh-leeez
3:03 paul: “if you’re lonely you can talk to me” **proceeds to an epic air drum solo**
Ringo: “where tf am I
LOL
Paul, he's more than air drummer!! he is a good drummer, by the way he is playing drum on Concrete and Gold from the Foo Figthers! for me Paul he's the best from the beattles (writting, playing lot of instruments, still on stage and always open for new fun) Ringo... he's...Ringo... he's (for me) still the guy was going to knock on the Mc Cartney house for give the letter from ''The Beattles" who ask to Paul to postpone the release of his own album.
@@mackaddams2899 dude chill i didn't asked you for your opinion, btw ringo is not more than decent. Every one is admiring him and for what? For playing the same 2&4 beat on literally every song?
@@mackaddams2899 Press to John Lennon - "Do you think Ringo is one of the best drummers in the world?"
John - "Ringo? He's not even the best drummer in the Beatles" LMFAO
@@mackaddams2899 "writting" "beattles". Lay off the T's there chief.
The movie 'Yellow Submarine' my favourite movie ever since I was a kid and my favourite characters were the Blue Meanies and they still are.
Paul's original bass blew your head off.
God yeah! Groovy as F***!!!
+Gustavo Al
TOTALLY !!!
The mix here should have had the bass way up.
Which head? XD
Gustavo Al truth
One of the best opening riffs!
I also love the Fanny´s cover version. This is Beatles´ best hard rock grunge tune. A true masterpiece. The way the piano walks up the scale in staccato fashion during the chorus followed by the heavy guitar riff on the bridge is...genius. So is the lyrics. True poetry. "Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles".... "Some kind of innocense is measured out in years"..."Some kind of solitude is measured out in you. You think you know me but you haven´t got a clew!"
One of my favorite Beatles songs! My respect for Dave Grohl went up tremendously (and I've always had respect for him). Nice version!
Thank god Jeff Lynne saved this performance on vocals. A music genius.
I just love watching Paul and Ringo having the most fun of all.
What a lineup. They tore that S UP!
I was half expecting yoko to get up there and start screaming into the mic.
When the camera cut to Yoko I thought she was the bulldog
@Debbie Smith actually that would have been prettyy good if they let her do the end. It was a let down when they didn't do the howling and screaming chaos lile on the original.
"You can talk to me, you can talk to me...." not you *looks towards Yoko
oh no please nooo
😂
Jeff Lynne has to be the best and most versatile Musician on this planet.
Like Music Lover said...Only facts...The great Jeff Lynne has a new album out since November 1st, 2019 which was no.1 in the UK last November. Jeff Lynne's ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA is still Touring! 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. 50 years later they still play in sold-out Arenas and Stadiums. we saw them again last Summer of 2019 on the North American Tour...( Best Concert of our life) All the reviews agree they are the best live act in the world and Jeff Lynne is a Music Genius. They are 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 Song Writer award ( ASCAP ) 2019 for his fantastic contribution over the years. 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, Bryan Adams, Aerosmith, Del Shannon, the Everly Brothers, and so many others... Long live Jeff Lynne’s ELO! Please Tour in 2021!
Jeff Lynne is the most talented Music God ever. He will be 71 in 2018 and his voice is Gold. All his live concerts sound as good if not better than the original recordings...Not many bands and musicians can match that. Just have a listen from Jeff Lynne's ELO at Wembley Stadium June 24 2017... Can't wait to see Jeff Lynne's ELO on the 2018 Europe and North American Tour. I just received my tickets for LA , NY and Toronto.
I'm seeing Jeff in Chicago - can't wait!
These guys sing great together. Living legend Jeff Lynne can sing with anyone and make it all sound better. Great vocals by both guys here.
Mr Lynne definitely save the vocals for Grohl
Still can't believe i've never heard this song and the radiation that this singer does is very well done. They are definitely and always have been one of my top favorite rock and roll groups.Actually , they've always been my number one.
How great musicians, like David, Jeff and so many others, give so fantastically the uniqueness of the Beatles .... How the music of the four children from Liverpool, unites people .... Their love .... .Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for what you have given us and it is the journey to infinity ...
Jeff Lynne is the musicians musician, isn't he?
Susannah Hayward i was gonna say the same thing.
diver dave - hes been producer for the surviving members, although hes lesser famous hes a giant , he was the star there, for ten years ago this wasnt the man that you just called to perform
diver dave strange magic
Why always sunglasses ?
Jeff's an extraterrestrial, he has to shade his eyes from Earth's intense light.
Jeff Lynne can do it all, what a fantastic overall musician, songwriter-composer, arranger and producer.
Amazing song from the Beatles 1968 and still sounds so good! Jeff Lynne is amazing as usual here.
Long live the great Jeff Lynne!
The moment the riff starts, everyone rocking back and forth, uncluding me...Impossible not to. What a riff, what a drum groove, what a bassline, what a guitar solo...And all for an relatively unknown track which would have been the best single of many bands then and now...That was The Beatles' level.
Rest in peace John and George. Thanks for all the great music within and without The Beatles.
Exactly.
YOU SEE EVERYBODYS HEADS BOBBING LIKE THAT AT 1:14? THAT is what this extremely GROOVY song does to EVERYONE. One of the best Beatles rock songs, it's a shame it goes unnoticed in a lot of circles!

Jeff Lynne's ELO World Tour 2018 I saw them last year, FaB, seeing them again in November, enjoy seeing/hearing the legend 👍
Try watching the "Live comeback tour 2001"; it's about as perfect a performance as you'll ever see and good sound quality too.
Love their performance!
jeff lynn is just brilliant. still great after all these years
What bigger compliment can you have than perform a Beatles song with the two surviving Beatles sat in front of you rocking along to your performance?
Wow… what a great rendition
Love how when Dave mentions Ringo drumming Ringo gets all excited
Top gemacht, absolut great
Great job! Dave and Jeff matched really well.
Jeff Lynne is awesome. Great music guys, well done. X
Dave Grohl I love you brother. Only a true Beatles fan knows that song exists let alone jam it on stage and make it sound like the best song ever!!
Jeff Lynn and Dave Grohl on the same stage....singing a beatles song.... rockin out.....as Ringo and Paul watch....ha! I am happy. :)
Jeff Lynn and Dave Grohl do a great job with this song absolutely brilliant
I had to go back and listen to John sing it. Dear God. Talk about a great singer!! From the back of the throat maybe but for sure from the soul. He FELT it!!
Jeff Lynne and ELO has been the closest thing to the Beatles since the Beatles broke up, has been one of the most important musicians, songwriters and producers over the past nearly 50 years. He produced albums for Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Brian Wilson, Del Shannon the ex Beatles as well, for Paul, George and Ringo. He was in the Traveling Wilburys which he formed with George. Dhani Harrison is opening for his 2019 tour. He produced Free As a Bird and Real Love for The Beatles. John Lennon called ELO the Son of the Beatles. George Martin and Jeff Lynne are the two producers who worked their magic with the Beatles and glad Jeff is starting to get the respect he deserves.
"We're gonna play Electric Light Orchestra from last year - "Showdown" - which I thought was a great record and I was expecting it to be number one but I don't think UA got their fingers out and pushed it. And it's a nice group. I call them 'son of Beatles' - although they're doing things that we never did, obviously. But I remember the statement they made when they first formed was to carry on where 'The Beatles' left off with "Walrus" - and they certainly did ..." - John Lennon
"Jeff Lynne and ELO has been the closest thing to the Beatles since the Beatles broke up"
Based on what body of work?
Most people would recognise maybe two songs he wrote. Give me a break. How the hell is he even close to The Beatles? Do you even like music?
@@AnyoneCanSee the great JL had said if Beatles would have continued in 70s they would have sounded like ELO
@@tejasmohite2651 - I'm aware John Lennon complimented ELO's music.
The comment was "Jeff Lynne and ELO has been the closest thing to the Beatles since the Beatles broke up."
I'm not attacking ELO and Jeff Lynne and I actually bought a couple of ELO's singles back in 1977. Jeff Lynn and ELO were never that big or important in music, let alone on the level of The Beatles. They didn't even have a No 1 single or album in the UK or USA. Lynne went on to produce albums for a few great artists towards the end of their careers. Fantastic! I'm no knocking the guy.
The Beatles comparatively were the most successful band in the world and continue to be so 50 years later. They have outsold every other band and were so popular at the time they coined the term 'Beatlemania.' Their first appearance on U.S. TV was the most-watched TV event after the Moon landing. The Beatles were also massively original, changed popular music forever and still considered the greatest of all time continuing to inspire new artists to this day. They changed, not only popular music forever, but impacted the world arguably more than any artist in any genre in history.
Well said Jeff Lynne and John are my 2 heros.
@@AnyoneCanSee For you not to understand what he means about Jeff Lynne's Beatles vibe and influence in the music industry makes me wanna ask you that same question.
This one is my favorite, glad they included it I sure wasn't expecting it.
Whenever I feel a bit down, I watch a couple of my favorite music videos. This is always part of the mix. It gives me goosebumps and hope for humanity.
Seven, or eight of today's very best rock and roll musicians on the same stage, with the best high tech sound equipment money can buy in the 21st century, and they can't make as much rock and roll sound as John, Paul, George, and Ringo did, in 1968?
At least Dave had his description correct
Dave N They don't sound as good as kids with heart- who might learn the proper parts to play.
Well, you're comparing ANYBODY to The Beatles.

Extraordinary performance of an incredibly overlooked jewel.
dave grohl, you rule but you just desecrated one hell of a precious beatles song
I did see Jeff Lynne’s Electric Light Orchestra in New York 2016 Toronto in 2018 and 2019. They were voted the best live classic Rock Band in the world 🌎 and after seeing about more than 200 concerts in my life I totally agree. Let’s hope they tour one more time in 2022-2023. I will go wherever they play.🙏❤️👍
Jeff Lynne can do it all! Long live Jeff Lynne's ELO! Please Tour again soon!
"if you're lonely, you can talk to me" the essence of Lennon's humanity and genius there.
It's incredible that with a lot of technology and with great musicians playing it.. The Beatles version sounds much better!!
The difference is quite clearly that Dave Grohl is not John Lennon. Everything else is great but Grohl can't replicate John's voice.
missing the bass line that really made this song.
@@ollyyung2859 correct
subpar version.... no one has ever made a Beatles cover that eclipsed the original. someone prove me wrong.
no, it wasnt Joe Cocker. close but no cigar. no one can touch these guys and no one ever will. 50 years
of history agrees.
The Lennon McCartney harmony is what makes that song complete
I just couldn't help but smile watching this video

This has been my hands-down favorite Beatles song since I was 9 years old, and I'm nearly 56 years old now. I never really understood why I loved it so much more than their other material, it was all really good. I still don't know why, but I'm glad to find out that it wasn't just me.
"If you're lonely, you can talk to me."
HooseBinPharteen This song, along with "And Your Bird Can Sing", is my favorite Beatles song. Sometimes a casual Beatles fan will ask me what my favorite song by then is. I mention these songs and get a lot of blank looks back.
Me too. The part I always loved, and I bought this album in like...!972 or 3...was where John and Paul have the conversation at the end where John is interviewing Paul and I think Paul is the Bulldog and then they both start howling and screaming...which is, when you think about it, what they were at first famous for. But what I didn't like about that album was the one side that was all orchestral.
"If you're lonely you can talk to me." - It just now struck me as oddly appropriate that, on the Yellow Submarine soundtrack, "Eleanor Rigby" immediately follows this song.
Beatle fans are never lonely
Amazing version of an amazing song!
Where? Do you have a link?
Jeff Lynne and Peter Frampton playing on his left hand side are two of the most talented and yet underrated guitar players and singers along with Lindsay Buckingham.
So true Long live Jeff Lynne's ELO... in Concert this Summer of 2019 in the USA and Canada.
My daughter favorite band too
Seeing Dave's little girl brought tears to my eyes. My own baby girl (now 37) was likewise raised on the Beatles hearing them first at about the same age. She's still their biggest fan!
Beatles's vocals on this song are tough to replicate but they did it justice.
Jeff Lynne is a British genius!! X
To me Jeff Lynne is the very best.
