With all due respect to Chuck Berry, ELO's cover of this song is the absolute best of all the many cover versions! ✌️ ☮️ ❤️🎶🎸🎶 🇺🇸

Keyboard player on here, Richard Tandy, passed away on the 1st of May two days ago, RIP

ELO are such an insane band. Jeff Lynne is a true genius.

Is there ANYTHING Jeff Lynne cant do??? The guy is just a musical genius.

No, you've missed it. It's a tribute.

Shout-out to Mike de Albuquerque's Sgt. Pepper patch!

Ah yes, Ledvug Vun Beethovin, the overshadowdowed cousin of Ludwig Van Beethoven.

Late 70's ...Out of the Blue Tour...lights out...Cellists running on stage in spotlights playing the intro to this song while holding their instruments upside down over their heads...the stage lights come up and there is the giant ufo from the album cover above the stage. BEST OPENING TO A SHOW EVER!!!!!

Jeff Lynne is a genius

I miss the midnight special . Would come home late at nite, my old man still up, mom in bed. And we'd watch the midnight special.

June 29, 1973, I made my 18th birthday !!! I was born the same year Rock and Roll was born, 1955!

Uploading ELO videos is never the wrong thing to do.

I had to give Electric Light Orchestra a couple of listens after I heard of the death of their longtime keyboard player Richard Tandy. RIP Richard Tandy, we will miss you and your excellent Minimoog playing.

Hard to believe we got to watch this live... long live the Midnight Special!

Bravo! Bravo! A special round of applause for the strings section as they absolutely killed it. Thanks Jeff for your talents throughout the decades.

Nobody can ever top this!!! The bass and violinist are absolutely amazing!!! Playing hard and jamming with guitars. Simply outrageous and fun.

Classic early ELO, before they started using a full string orchestra on their albums. This goes to places, harmonically, that Chuck Berry never took it, but still retains the essence of the original.

I thought the recording was amazing.... But this is outstanding... ELO could perform this live..... Wow!!!😮 What expertise! The fusion of Beethoven and Chuck Berry with this hit is genius!

Wow! They gave us one heck of a lot of entertainment in just 4 minutes and 47 seconds!

My first concert when I was 15
