ELO = Eldorado {Complete Version}

[philipose66]

i have conducted (air) much of this album from time to time---whirling dervish insanity. Circ 1973 Richard Lewis (the comedian) introed me to this album---not funny how much ELO has moved me over the yrs---

@philipose66 Jane is my ocean's daughter

[dowopdiddi]

uh-isn't this the way it appeared on the albulm??

[Lennononly]

The single track for which Jeff Lynne's genius should be applauded!

[QouBaby]

In my collection of MUST HAVE music, Eldorado is and will always be at the top. I listened to this album, once and have loved it forever. Jeff Lynne, a poet, musician, and an inspiration.

[PlanTonto]

I haven't heard any skips or bumps. If you are listening through headphones, check your batteries or any other medium you are using requiring batteries. I am using Beats By Dre, and this tune sounds awesome, but I know when my batteries get weak, I get skips and jumps...

[kovik62]

@richiebear1969: That's true; Big Wheels is another great sad one. For me, Eldorado still goes a little further; there's that heartbreaking lyric, "I'll not be back... Eldorado..." Jeff Lynn really wrote some masterpieces.

[richiebear1969]

We have a chain of home furniture stores down in South Florida called El Dorado. I doubt they play E.L.O.

[elofan0]

This song is my all time fav hes dreaming hes found eternal life and there he will stay he will not be back eldorado :)

[dogloverNV]

I so much LOVE the lyrics, 'I'll sail away on a voyage of no return to see if eternal life is meant to be.' Did Jeff Lynne write the lyrics? If yes, he is quite the poet. Very deep, touching song.

[eightiesguy62]

@dogloverNV Jeff Lynne is a musical genius!! And was sooo waaay ahead of his time!!

[dogloverNV]

@eightiesguy62 I concur. And these particular lyrics are haunting. To me, anyway! :)

[DoYouhav2ask]

What a gorgeous voice<3

[SuperGlenyboy]

in my opinion one of the finest albums of all time

[AlgisKemezys]

Just love this...

[MACHAWK123]

brownyman64 I bought this album at the same time and loved it. Haven't listened to it for a good ten years until recently but, wow, I think it's my favourite ELO album.

[joey1127]

Great album...all about dreams and OBE journey's...They were VERY progresive for the times.

[brownyman64]

i bought this album 33 years ago and was disappointed with it, but I am re-discovering the songs again on youtube. Love this song now - can't stop listening to it.

[smithyse1]

Amazing, one of my favourite songs of all time. And I've always believed it's about the romantic appeal of suicide - but I might be wrong!

[kovik62]

You can't listen to this song without getting tears in your eyes. Just an exquisitely moving finale to an outstanding album.

[richiebear1969]

@kovik62 Big Wheels is like that to.

[wpollock1]

Who else can write a haunting melody better than Jeff Lynne? 3:29 is just outstanding vocals......just ....indescribable.

[fishbones1963]

these were the days when you would actually stay in your bedroom and listen to a whole album, NOT just one or two songs and get sick of it in a week. Those days will never return with the crap they play now.

[gettyz]

there had BETTER be 0 "dislikes"!

[USABG58]

Ahhhhh....what with the gaps and jumps in the sound at crucial points? Boooooo!

[CalyxAsgard]

@USABG58 * I'm not aware of any jumps and gaps...has anyone else noticed the same thing? Can you tell me where the gaps and jumos are?

[arkngt]

@CalyxAsgard It skips at 5:57. Excellent ending to an excellent album.

[CalyxAsgard]

@arkngt * You're Right, I did notice a dip at that point on this video, the strange thing is, that on my original MP3, the dip wasn't there, I can only assume that either the conversion to video or uploading it to Youtube caused it.

[johnnywindows1]

@arkngt A truly beautiful track- I'd forgotten how ol Jeff could (and still does occasionally) belt them out...

[missing188]

@CalyxAsgard yes sorry near the end it jumps

[chazmcneill]

how sweet it is

the archetypal source ( the collective unconscious mind ) shared by all humanity ; c.g.jung

[JERRYF16]

Ok.. Who's got the hour glass or time machine to take me back... "I'm in" Great time and memories for sure................

[carlosasmarab]

The more I listen to this song, the more I love it. Amazing.

[ROYALWAND]

in your written remarks & the lyrics, you have written: ""high on a hill in Avalon""

I think if you listen very carefully, it actually says:

HIGH ON A HILL IN ELDORADO.

thanks for posting this song, it brings back some great memories, of the 1970's.

John R.W. :0

[CalyxAsgard]

@ROYALWAND * I googled Eldorado's lyrics and it seems you are correct, I can only conclude that it was the combination of the fact that it sounded like Avalon and the line "The painted ladies of the Avalon" threw me off, but then again, this reminds me of "Bring Me Down" and how everybody hears BRUCE when he meant GRUS.

[ROYALWAND]

@CalyxAsgard it is only a small point

but for the sake of the song, I thought i would just humbly mention this.

Eldorado is the fabled city of gold, so it must end that way, really. John

[eightiesguy62]

@CalyxAsgard This is a really great song and the posting is cool!! Great job!!

[hbehani]

Thanksthanksthanks for posting this gem!

amazingly wonderful - probably the most underrated great songs of all times

From the era music was actually music, by one of the best bands of all times.

[albertusj]

These songs should be worked into a musical!!! ABBA did it.....why not Jeff. Common Jeff, we want a musical featuring the music of ELO. No I don't mean XANADU.

[johnnywindows1]

@albertusj Best Youtube comment of the year.... But it would have to include great not-so-well-known tracks like this...

[AMD3FAN]

its a fantastic album, also try out "a new world record" album fantastic.

[Roadie02]

Thanks for this version. I remember i well. Ittaes me back to my hig school days.

[kveeberg]

[Roadie02]
