You need to watch the whole 2017 Wembley concert 👍👍

You cannot go wrong with Jeff Lynn and ELO. They have more songs that can get stuck in your head than almost anyone else. My favorite of theirs is "Turn to Stone", but you also have "All Over the World", "Don't Bring Me Down", "Mr. Blue Sky", "Can't Get You Out of My Head", and so many more.

Ozzy Osbourne is also from Birmingham 😊

I saw ELO when I was a teenager at Football Park in Adelaide, South Australia. What an incredible memory for this 66 year old fan!

You just can't help but feel happy every time you hear ELO.

Jeff Lynne's voice hasn't aged one descible

We are so blessed with having the Best Bands in the World.

Jeff used to have a massive Afro in the 1970's & he hasn't been seen without sunglasses since 1977.

One of, if not the best acts of the 1970's & 1980's. What a sound. Jeff Lynne and ELO is as good as it gets. Love it!!

Thank God I was a teenager during the 70s. Jeff's backing vocals were sung by Kelly Groucutt (RIP), Patti Quatro sang uncredited vocals, particularly the "higher and higher" parts on the album version.

Yeah. spent all of my teen years in the 70s.

Grandma's face reaction was great when she knew the song, I remember when it first came out, and I noticed not very many cell phones! Nice to see! And that violinist ❤ and she's good! I'm 65

Don't miss him LIVE, he's doing a farewell tour this year through the U.S.

40+ years ago ELO was everywhere. Some of their tunes were played by my high school band at basketball games, etc..

Long live Jeff Lynne's ELO! The best live Classic Rock Band ever!

I was at Wembley Stadium that night, one of the best concerts i have ever seen. Special effects and the spaceship just added to the magnificent musicians on the stage.

Awesome

The original was from 1976 & the late Kelly Groucutt did the male backing vocals for their songs. The only other member of ELO that Lynne uses is the keyboard player Richard Tandy-as he fell out with the others in the 1980's/early 1990's & some are deceased, everybody else are session musicians.

Yes, a hit from 1976, from their New World Record. From 1988 to 1990 singer/composer/guitarist Jeff Lynne was part of the Traveling Wilburys, with George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and Roy Orbison. You may like their songs End of the Line and Handle with Care.

Don't forget that Jeff is also one of the greatest record producers of all time!

I first saw this song on Top Of The Pops November 1976. I was hooked. I bought the album in February which I consider is their best album.

Turn to Stone, and Evil Woman from the same concert are fire!🔥

My all time favourite band ELO. Jeff Lynn is music genius. ❤🎼😎🇬🇧

Jeff Lyne IMO is one of Britain's greatest ever song writers. Thank you for the excellent video and reaction.

The song Telephone Line performed at Wembley is a must.

Sold out concerts, as all of them are. Saw them in concert in 1972 in Seattle with Deep Purple, such an epic concert.

Just remember Jeff was 76 when he performed this!!!!!!!

And My Hometown City Too! Proud To Be A Brummie !!

Great to see 2 generations enjoying my favourite band together try tighteope and across the border next rhanks ladies ❤❤❤

The studio version of Livin' Thing by The Electric Light Orchestra had additional female backing vocals by Michigan pop band The Pleasure Seekers. Patti Quattro has uncredited backing vocals for the "higher and higher" part. Typically Jeff does lead and backing vocals with Kelly Groucutt the bassist and Bev Bevan the drummer also providing backing vocals I do believe. 😊

This live jam is awesome, I went to their stadium tour with 70,000 of my closest friends that had the original band, but Jeff has that mellow soothing voice that few could not like...Keeep on a rockin Lady`s & I`ll keep a watching...hows about a lil " I turn to stone" when ya`ll aint around

My all time fave. That and David Bowies Rebel Rebel.

Always loved this song....and now feeling ignorant 'cause I never knew ELO sang it......learning something new everyday 😊

when you discover that your grand parents were listening to far better music than you are today.

I saw them 6 years ago at the Oakland Coliseum Arena. Wow what a show. Light show and the music was outstanding!

I went to see this tour at Nottingham. When he toured after YEARS of silence it was fantastic to see him back.

Absolutely nothing better than music out of the sixties and seventies. ELO was, is, and ALWAYS will be CLASSIS as HELL. I love it.

Electric Light Orchestra is my favorite! I just bought my first vinyl and it was their album “A New World Record”- which coincidentally enough, this song came from!

Mr Blue Sky is the next song to go :)

It's different because Jeff the singer is around 70 yrs old at that concert and he still filling his concerts

In the original album release,Jeff Lynne sang all the parts the back up singer here sang. Sometimes during live performances,different singers or back up singers will sing parts that were originally sung by the artist to help them out.

I saw the original ELO several times in the 70's and then Jeff Lynne's ELO in 2017/18 - they were still brilliant. Jeff is a musical genius and legend. Enjoy !

I grew up as a Heavy Metal fan, but ELO has always been one of my favorite bands!

ELO is one of those groups that sounds just as good in concert as they do in the studio. I think my favorite one of theirs is "Evil Woman" and they do this one in the same concert.

I bought my 2 sons tickets for this concert, they said it was amzing, im a lifelong fan of elo

this song came out in 1976, and yes the thing (vocals) with the backup singer was also on the original recording as well!! Jeff sounds just as good as he did way back then, hasn't changed at all!

Jeff Lyn was on the BBC Radio 2 Chris Evens Radio show a few years ago and was asked if he would ever consider reforming ELO. Jeff said it would only happen if it was economically viable and would need at least 5000 ticket sales. After 10 minutes 100,000 people said they would buy tickets and at the end of the radio show well over 500,000 said they would buy tickets. Jeff was almost in tears as he didn't understand how much people loved him and ELO.

Saw these guys back around the late 70’s early 80’s in San Francisco. They were so good. I believe the band Redbone opened for them but it’s been awhile. 😂

Nice reaction, I have seen Jeff Lynnes ELO twice in the last few years and they where fantastic, just a joyous experience and living thing is a great song.

Glad you like it. Not sure how I even missed this reaction video to see that you got it, considering how much I love ELO.. This song was probably the first song I heard that turned me on to them.. Enjoy the hoodie.

Fantastic

Wow, what an experience it must have been to be in that stadium!

Ahhhh ladies you reacted to my lifelong favourite band, the Electric Light Orchestra right back to the 1970s plus my newly discovered band Nightwish with Floor Jansen who I'd not heard of until 2 years ago. Thank you. 🙏❤️👍😊

This reminds me when this song first time came out, fond memories with the original group members doing it. It's that old, and I'm older than it😂

I hope all of you see ELO's Jeff Lynne in his final concert tour 2024. I have my tickets, I'll be there.- Watch him perform live with many of his classics He is the greatest of all time musician! I began my love for ELO from the double album of "Out Of The Blue" From then on, I purchase all their albums and Jeff Lynne's solo and Travel Wilbureys! Remember, he wrote and produced all of ELO.

started following ELO in 71, after Jeff took over from Roy Wood, who had 2 other bands, Wizard & The Move and his genius made them what became a super group in the 70s and 80s, a lot of their songs were done in collaboration with George Harrison of the Beatles with who Jeff Lynn lived with for some time, that's why George's son plays often with ELO and opens concerts with his own band. Still great and saw them twice when they played here in Toronto 2019 2020

What an amazing concert to have been at.

ELO definitely had the backing vocals as it is here….a big part of their sound…and Jeff really does sound great and did an excellent job of recreating the sound of the original band…very nice!

Lulu, whenever I suggest this group, I always say don’t let the name fool you, their as rock and roll as The Beatles are

Ironically given the title, I wrecked a car while blasting this track at near full volume. Narrowly avoided going down a ravine, totalled the car, but walked away without a scratch on me. This song therefore retains a special place in my heart 😊

Great performance of a brilliant song. I wasn't expecting it to sound this good.

A Great Album Project that Jeff Lynne was part of & arguably the Greatest "Super Group" of all time "The Traveling Wilbury's " which Featured Jeff with his friend , George Harrison of The Beatles , Bob Dylan , the Legendary Roy Orbison ( His song "Not Alone Anymore" being the albums highlight for me ) and "The kid" of the band Tom Petty . The album is a gem from start to finish & the video that the 4 remaining members did as a tribute to their sadly departed member , Roy , "End of the Line" brings a tear to the eye every time .

The utterly fantastic and superb Jeff Lynne with his super talented Electric Light Orchestra sprinkling their magic onto the younger generations of our modern world although us 60 somethings were listening to this fantastic stuff when we were teenagers back in the day. But it’s still nice to see modern day young pups still appreciating what we had in the good old days.

it is wild that their songs seem so uplifting yet the lyrics are sometimes on the sadder side & i love that he and George Harrison seemed to be such close friends & great crowd

The B - Side of this single is in my opinion is better , a fab instrumental shows off the musical skills they have and is a bit spooky , its called Fire On High

The absolutely best quirky song by ELO has got to be Jungle. Love that song. All of there songs are classics

I believe Wembley Stadium holds close to 70,000 people, a great demonstration of ELO’s lasting popularity. My husband and I saw them when they toured the US in 2019. We saw them at the Tacoma Dome and it was packed and the performance was incredible. I recommend reacting to more of the songs from this particular concert.

Jeff Lynne was 71yrs old when he performed at this venue in England.

Jeff did some good work with the supergroup Travelling Willberries

Did you all ever see the movie "Xanadu" with Olivia Newton-John? ELO songs galore all through that movie, in addition to seeing one of the last performances of Gene Kelly. Now, I suppose, it's also tribute as well to Olivia, may she sing forever in the the heavenly spheres! 💝💝

A crowd full of well-to-do Baby Boomers.....which I am a member of. I can guarantee ELO absolutely LOVES their Boomer fans for sure. It's like the "good ol' days" all over again.....but now 40 yrs later.

Back then I remember this only as just another Pop song. Now I really like it, however. So good to see the audience participation and the dark-haired beauty on violin. LuLu deserved another present, we all must agree with that surely.

first time seeing your channel, what a great reaction from you all! :D loving it, Cheers. ELO are something else!

ELO is a brilliant band led by Jeff Lynn. They are a great band to explore. They have A LOT of hidden gems in their catalogue. Their first album release was in 1971. "Livin' Thing" is off of their 6th album "A New World Record" (1976).

The 🎻 is played by Rosie Langley. She is awesome

That concert was televised, you might be able to download it. The other numbers are amazing too, and as for the light show……

This song was originally released in 1976. What you hear the male back-up singer doing was in the original - nothing has really changed. I know pretty much every song they've done and this and Don't Bring Me Down were the first two I remember hearing. However, if you want to carry on with more E.L.O., might I suggest 'Mr. Blue Sky', 'The Diary of Horace Wimp', 'Calling America', 'Telephone Line', 'Rockaria', 'All Over The World' and 'Wild West Hero'. Here's some trivia for you... E.L.O. - as you know - stands for Electric Light Orchestra. A lot of people will say that their name is "Electric Light" Orchestra... Wrong! While they are, indeed, an orchestra, they are a Light Orchestra powered by electricity, therefore an "Electric" Light Orchestra.
