Seeing them Sept 6 in st louis..

I was born in 1961 and the "seventies" were a heady time to be alive as an ELO fan. Their NEW songs would come out and I couldn't wait to get my hands on them!!!! It seemed like every song they put out was wonderful. All these years later, I still listen to their music all the time.

Right there with you, born in 1962 and Jeff Lynn still sounds good. They made it look so easy, but bands did in the 70’s and there were SO MANY good bands of different styles. It was unlike any decade for music I remember. 60’s were different too though.

Jeff is my all time favorite musician. Only second to Paul McCartney. If I am ever dying and have the use of the Make A Wish Foundation, I would like to meet Jeff. I can only hope he outlives me. ❤

Three of the musicians in this video have died: ELO cellist Michael Edwards died in 2010, cellist Hugh McDowell died in 2018, and keyboardist Richard Tandy died in 2024. May they all RIP.

Mik is outstanding with the violin 🎻🎻🎻

I Loved ELO....also, I think Bev Bevan was an AMAZING drummer!!!!!!!!

Talent that is never seen in this day and age,jeff lynne is probably one of the uk,s greatest song writers.

Never grown tired of Jeff's music. Been a fan for 40 yrs and its still the most often played music in the car.

I just started listening to "Out of the Blue" all over again, after not having listened to it for 25 years or so, and can't stop. When I was a kid and started paying attention to music, "Telephone Line" practically jumped out of the radio and captured my imagination. "Can't Get It Out Of My Head" is such a masterpiece of a song.

This is the song, and the album (Eldorado) that got me big time into ELO in 74 as a teen. I had heard Roll Over Beethoven a lot of course on the radio but this song got me into ELO for good, especially thtough the 70s. Lynne had a knack of great instrumentation and arranging of pop rock songs. And Bev Bevan was a monster drummer.

1974, I was a 19 yr old United States Marine Corps when I first heard ELO when I was stationed on Okinawa.

For us diehard ELO fans, this is as good as it gets. I remember cranking my 8-track 30+ years ago. Fucking timeless. Thank You, ELO.........

I have been an ELO fan for YEARS and will never stop loving them. I wish I could afford a ticket to see them this year!

Me too danced with my wife on our second date to this sound I asked her why did you call me back an she said I couldn't get you out my head an ill never forget that. thanks ELO

Unlike many of these TV appearances, this sounds like an actual live performance. And it sounds good!

They were always there as a backdrop in the 70s and I liked them alright then , now I realize how great they were. Jeff has a beautiful voice and wrote very compelling , well crafted and catchy songs

Literally one of the best bands to ever play rock and roll and everything else in between Great band

this was the first ELO song I ever heard, when I was 17 living in Kansas and about to make decisions that would change my life forever. Now as a 52 year old grandmother still living in Kansas, ELO is still my favorite music. I don't think Jeff Lynne realized the Eldorado/Oz connection that someone in Kansas would have and I have heard he didn't even know what the ruby slippers where when the cocept for the cover of this album was shown to him. Thank for helping to keep the music alive.

Jeff said he's never seen wizard of oz, Hard to believe listening to Eldarado. Still my favourite ELO album, and they did a lot of great albums. ❤

no puedo quitarlo de mi cabeza , que gran tema ELO . saludos desde Chile a todo el mundo.

Back in 1974, I didn't know anything about them. 'Telephone Line' is the tune that I heard on the radio (back in 1977) that made me a life long fan. This tune is one of my favorites from my favorite band.

They opened with this song in 1977 live in Lexington Kentucky usa Their stage and show was one of the most amazing things i ever saw

Such a beautiful orchestra, they were very impact able and synchronized everything..I can listen over and over the bass, guitar, violin, piano you can hear everything!!!!

Wow! Terrific actual LIve performance. I heard they were incredible live. And to think this was before they really "broke big." It's just...WOW!

I always wanted 'Do Ya' played at my funeral. Somewhere during the ceremony, this tune WILL be played. Actually, it's in the top 5 of my all time favorite ELO tunes. If I could have Mik and that blue violin there, well, I guess I would be in Heaven.....Thanks, dhbiker2714....

so good to see these old "live" performances that are actually LIVE...this is one of ELO's best songs ever...off one of their best albums ever

Jeff and Kelly's vocals are incredible! They were ELO'S best vocal duo!

A piece of genious,greatest songwriter of rock music.

Mick Kaminski on violin - amazing. Saw their '76 tour and he had a long solo that blew me away. Jeff Lynne's vocal were at their peak. Amazing stuff, and a great memory.

ELO & KISS were my 2 first favorite bands when I wasn't even 1 yet in 1978 I think. I Still listen to them pretty often. 😎

The late Kelly Groucutt (he of the Opera-trained voice (just listen to "Rockaria" which Lynne would never have been able to sing)) did the vocals for this song.

R.I.P. Kelly Groucutt, Mike Edwards and Hugh McDowell.

Not until we've been back to the 60's - where the best of it was !

I agree -the seventies were just wonderful!!!

ELO's string section could rock pretty hard live. This is probably the best actual live performance I've seen from this era. It's interesting they didn't do the slide guitar/synthesizer duet from the instrumental bridge on the studio version. I imagine Richard Tandy was probably busy enough with the mellotron choir.

I was in high school when this band was at the top of the heap. This particular tune is such a tribute to the great bands that preceded and influenced ELO. It's like Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band meets Abbey Road. For my generation, it surely doesn't get any better than that!

My boyfriend in 1974 turned me on the ELO, and after we broke up I couldn't bear to listen to them. Now I understand Jeff Lynne's genius - where did he come from? Such musical ideas! Such masculine beauty!

I can't get this song out of my head. Thumpsup for the Upload this song.

I am living in the 70s, don't tell anyone.

Elite! Best live band I have ever seen among about 250 concerts I have seen in my life so far.

This is the music I grew up with. I also happened to be a budding cello player at the time. ELO made it cool to be classical. Timeless music.

Amaaazing! Bev Bevan and Stewart Copeland were the drummers who influenced me the most

This reminds me of High School and turning on the radio when I was driving my dad's car around at night.

This was played at my dad's memorial. I could really feel him there at that time. ELO is just amazing.

These guys should be way more famous. They should be right up there with the Stones, The Who, and Led Zeppelin. I'm only 14, thank god my dad played this all the time.

ELO is the evolution.

I agree, I've been a fan since 1974. First time I heard ELO was when I was stationed on Okinawa with the United States Marine Corps. At 65 yrs old, Im still a fan.✌🇬🇧🇺🇸

I didn’t even listen to music until about ‘78. I was 12. In the southwest area of the US, ELO wasn’t as popular as other bands. My first album was the Eagles. My next was ELO. After my first album of ELO’s (Out of the Blue), I bought all the older ones I could get my hands on and every new one afterward. I bought only 2 other Eagles’ albums. I like them, but ELO has been my favorite since I began listening to music. It’s like timeless magic.

elo,, one of the best, and most talented,,, musically versitle groups there was,, and is.

I was 3 years old when this came out... by the time i was 5 i knew the by heart... thank you to my older brothers and sisters

I lived it. The 70s were great. Four years of the 70s (73-77) I was in the United States Marine Corps. During those 4 years, good times and very sad times. April 1975, the Marine Corps was involved in the Evacuation of Saigon, 2 Marines were killed during a firefight at Tan Son Nhut AFB outside of Saigon...then a month later May 1975, the Marine Corps lost around 20 Marines during the Mayaguez Incident aka Battle of Koh Tang Island Cambodia. But most of the 70s were good times, I dated a lot of young ladies. Semper Fi

What a brilliant band! This song is amazing

The Best of the Best....

I have all of their vinyl, some cassetts, saw them live in St. Louis in the 70's, am trying to find DVD's of their concerts, particularly the Eldorado one, the cuts are my favorite songs.

Great live rendition of the song. Another clip of Jeff without his trademark shades...

Glad to her the full version. Some times they leave out the verse beginning with: Breakdown on the shoreline. It starts at the 2:19 mark.

Eine wunderschöne Zeit! Wonderful time!

Simplemente genial para mi humilde opinión son los mejores, siempre ELO SIEMPRE ELO

brings back memories of a wonderful psychedelic night with good friends and great music.

i cant understand why elo are not respcted more than they are today, they were years ahead of their time - jeff was the best songwriter of our generation, I never get tired of listening to them. the songwriting consistancy is unsurpassed. I am forever grateful for jeff lynne, just wish i had seen him live. elo2 were good but its like watching the who without pete townsend - or like watching fleetwood mac without lyndsey buckingham - just not the same.

jeff lynn is up there with the cream of british talent ,,he dosnt get the recognition he so richly deserves,,

As a former radio on air jock? And yes as a mid age to late teen in the 70s myself? I use to spin the 45's on the old turntables live on the air and play really great, great timeless music like this by ELO as well as many others . In closing from me ? The decade of the 70s was great with the music and to many simpler times. Shag hair , bellbottoms and how about those great platform shoes. Anyway thought I'd share that with you. Keep on truckin... ✌😎

I'll take Jeff and ELO any day of the week. The beatles opened the mold of rock and roll, ELO went on to break it..........

this was the prettiest song ELO ever put out. I saw them in 78 in the Cleveland Stadium... I won't tell you what enhancers I was on, but I will tell you they were shooting Lasers out of their bows. It was probably the greatest concert I ever saw and I saw a lot of em.

Brad Siemans...My first stadium concert was The Beatles at the old Comisky Park in Chicago of '65, after that it was pretty much indoors.

The show was Countdown, and the presenter was Ian “Molly” Meldrum.

this makes me think of deep love with someone.

Any Sat. night, mid '70s; around midnight, a pasture party, parked cars scattered around, this softly playing on a few AM radios tuned into 1520 KOMA Oklahoma City, everyone hanging onto someone, the only light are a couple of campfires, the soft music only interrupted now and then by a girls laugh, many with Coors or mini-Millers in hand. Good times, things made sense, love always in the air!

That was one of the very early episodes of Countdown. It was an exciting sound coming from ELO.

I can only imagine, the host mentions that the audience probably hasn't heard of them before. What an experience

I grew up in a small town south of San Francisco .......... everyone I knew in those days was a massive ELO fan. We were 12 years old. They were fantastic.

I saw this self same band in the early '70's at Leeds University in the UK. I had the "Eldorado" lp with all the added orchestral backing, and expected to be disappointed. The sound (guitar, bass, drums, 2 cellos, violin and synthesizer) was absolutely amazing. I was really impressed--they didn't need an additional orchestra!

Still majestically brilliant

I live north of Dallas and in like 1970 I would turn on the radio at night and listen to the stuff WLS AM blasted out at night. It wasn't the million watt blow tourch the X down in Mexico was with Wolfman Jack, but it blew in strong. Was 9.60 AM or something.

Wow...wow....and wow!

They are Badass. 💕

OMG.....💜

Being 53 as well, we wandered along when the music industry really fragmented. In Dallas, in 1973 you could turn on KLIF the big am pop station for years and you might hear the stones, then Stevie Wonder, The Carpenters, and maybe Deep Purple. Then came the big album rock FM stations, and the top forty stations, oldies, soul, etc.... It got to the point that there were certain groups you didn't listen to if you were cool. ELO was a tweener, which meant it went top forty and not much rock play

amazing band and times

And the light shines on still...

Thank you, elodevi, for this!!! 💖

one day while watching a video from The Move i noticed Bev Bevan had a particular/peculiar way of holding his sticks. at some point he stopped doing this but i haven't quite figured out when, exactly. i see here he's still holding his sticks in his old method. musta been around '75/76 that this changed. but not that it matters, it's just a crazy thing that i look for now.

Can't get this song out of my head

Sublime! Thank you ELO for all these years, particularly Jeff Lynne. Fan since 1976...

ELO: one of the great bands to never get into the hall of fame. Jeff Lynne is a genius.

Absolutely brilliant live performance! LOVE LOVE LOVE Jeff Lynne.
