That's really impressive they pull this off live in the 70s. This song has ALOT of layers to it. There's a reason why people like George Harrison and Tom petty held Jeff Lynne in such high regard.

Understand that these guys understood music and how to play instruments. No audio correction. What you heard was what their magic, nothing was messed with by computer or AI. Listen and watch bands from the 60s and 70s. They had no artificial help. ❤

It’s 2024, I’m 70 years old and this song is always welcome when I hear it. So uplifting and cool. Thanks Jeff and ELO!

they might have been using a backing track i was at an elo concert in berkeley and towards the middle of the concert, the backing track tape broke people were pissed but lynne wanted to recreate the studio sound and im not sure the record company wanted to foot the bill for added strings to do that

They dropped the best part - the ending which should be a song on it's own.

Back then, you had to have a singing voice, because there was no auto-tune. That’s why most live performances back then were almost the same as studio versions.
