  • This song was on the radio alot when i was a kid. After my Mom died a few years ago ii tried calling her Cell phonr a few times, it just rang and rang, never going to voice mail. I guess it will just ring forever more.

  • I always thought there was some effect on Jeff Lynnes voice to get that ELO sound, but I think he just sings that way! Incredible!

  • Love. Love. Love. This.

  • if there was a 5 beatle hes the kid fooking words just blow your mind up

  • eelloo

    

  • Brilliant!

  • Jeff lynne is, and always will be the fifth beatle! Talented musican, writer, performer, arranger, singer, producer, Geez! Just ask George Harrison. If Could.

  • I remember with fondness the days before cell phones. When we actually used a landline to talk with a friend. Imagine actually hearing your girlfriends' voice on the phone for hours at a time. Wow that was fun

  • @cutta1966 , right. and stretching that coiled line as far as possible from the phone itself, out of the parent's earshot. 

  • @yynnmmbb You got that right brother. These kids will never know the excitement

  • @cutta1966 Thats wrong! There are a few who know it!

  • @areaP6 Good to hear that !  BUT the excitement I mean was actually living the times when music like this was on "regular" radio everyday. Thanks for the shoutout maybe there is help for those younger than myself.

  • @cutta1966 Yes I think i know what you mean. But you still can have this feelings you had in times when "mainstream" music was really exciting and progressive, just not with so many people 'round you..

  • Cool song!!!! great singer......thanks dear friend...for share... loved it!!!  I wishes to you joyful week lovely.....pier**))

  • Quién no vivió esta canción? de la época que fuera, es un himno

  • ¡¡CHIDO CHIDO,.....la neta ELO son PADRÍSIMOS, ya no hacen la música como la hacian,...Excelente video fercast59, te mando mis dedos verdes y muchas gracias a nuestra bella amiga Jossie por compartir!! =D

  • Wonderful video and song !!!!!!!

  • cool i like it

  • Jeff Lynn... My God, George Martin, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, and Beethovian all rolled up in one creative dude. One of my all time favorite songs. What a FREAKEN genius. The only autograph I'd love to have (and Mohammed Alie's:>)

  • @jbrown21m Jeff Lynn, I can understand even though I'm not an autograph kind of guy.

    However, why on earth would you want that bragging self anointing bag of wind Cassius

    Clay? Yes, he had talent, but he was and is a jerk.

  • me ha gustado mucho....gracias por compartir

  • i realize this is live, amazing stuff..... now back to playin with my bone.....

  • In the 80's I had a good mate called Mark... I left the area so lost touch but he was Mark Kaminski, Mik's step brother so if any one knows where Mark is let me know ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, been to long....

  • rock god

  • My coworker and I sang this all night. Best night at work ever.

  • @PAINTBALL55 i'm here watching this because my coworker is jamming to this.. smh!! There is better music out there!! lol

    The things we do at work to keep up busy..

  • @babyjan14 I just love jamming to it on bass and the singing the Chorus, and agreed on the better music out there. I normally listen to death/thrash/heavy metal, etc. but this is good. ;]

  • Just ..... good music!!!

  • great music

  • piosenke dedkuje tobie anetko marszy 5242

  • brings me back to my first day of seventh grade scared to death thinking of this song made me feel better for some reason, so until this day it means something more than you can believe

  • kochamy tą muzykę

  • Nice song

  • Dedicated from Anders to Johan Abrahamsson (det blev aldrig nån bra grabb utav honom) och till Jens Söder Höij.... Det är alltid jag som svarar....

    (Det var hur nästa omröstning skulle sluta....vi ska räkna den som vi  just genomgick....MVH Anders!

  • wonderful blast from the past.

  • one of first moments growing up that I learned to appreciate the talent, creativity and passion for music. All of ELO's music is of full detail and takes you onto a journey that both captivates and takes to another place. Each track is a story!

  • i got a chance to see ELO live in 1976.i can truly say it was a life changing event for me.i just could'nt believe all the things they could do with lights and lasers.it kept my young mind spinning for weeks.

  • @bigorange113 On The Third Day tour the lighting effects were just two blokes waving boards in front of spotlights,amazing a few years later they had one of the best light shows ever.

    What a fantastic journey following them it was,I was very lucky.

  • I was only 13 years old, found E.L.O. amoung my daddy´s music. I got in love with it. He is living in other Unirvers, i will hold his hand some day...

  • WOW!! I have no words!! Its so great band and so great song.. thx ELO.. I will try it play to my guitar :))

  • @musicleydy będziesz wielkim gitarzystą

  • @smutnyjasio myslim ze nebudem :) never mind..  I like E.L.O.

  • her name is Rosie

  • whos the blonde chick

  • Sorry...it's off of the ZOOM DVD.

  • This entire DVD is awesome. If you can find it....GET IT!!

  • good call!!

  • I wish he would read me bed time stories.. I love his voice.

  • I wish they would have used the original analog synthesizers with the new tours. Anyone with an ear for music can tell the difference between the full sounding analog and the new crap virtual analog they're using now.

  • I grewed up with tis...greatness is all I can sayz

    

  • The Beatles are a little better - how naive - EVEN Jeff would agree with that.

  • So perfect live,,the only band i know every word of there songs,,7th best producer even tho he should be 1st <3

  • "HERE IS THE NEWS"..sorry

  • Jeff Lynne also was the producer,last Beatles song-"Free as a Bird".Like verry much

    "This is the news" GREAT

  • @zzsound real love was the last one i beleive

  • @caulinrocker1

    i understud you,i wrote in interpuction "a dream".You got right,what you told take your last dream back at home.

  • me dreaming,Jeff splitted in 1986,its possible a Reunion..? ELO was/is present anno 2011.We love it.....danke.

  • MEIN kINDHAUTSTRAUM; DIE ALLE MAL ZU TREFFEB:::

  • ich fine dasooo süss!

  • Just bought ZOOM live. The back up singer is a perfect fit. Jeff, please know your music is such a gift to us all. You have no idea how much your work is still listened to and how us, who truly love music, are in a music wasteland in 2011. Name one other band in 2011 other than Fitz & the Tantrums who excite you like ELO. Lynne hasn't lost a thing, his voice is just wonderful and his music, as ever, intelligent and spot on. What else would we expect?

  • excelente,siempre ame esta musica,son fantasticos,con un sonido unico..

  • Yeah and John Lennon said that the nearest band if the Beatles had have remained together would sound like ELO. If only that person would pick up the phone.

  • May be just my opinion,but,If there ever would have been a 5th Beatle,It would have been Jeff Lynn.

  • 43 people don't have phones.

  • @TheKoltyn or brains , or taste in music , they are probably Bieber fans

  • @tigerman4 get ya head outa ya arse and listen nothen like one day wonder

  • ELO, oh, die liebe ich noch immer!!!

  • I can't find a single version where they sing, "Oh, oh telephone line..." like in the studio version. They always leave out the first (higher pitched) oh.

  • 43 people without thelephone line

  • TheLaluna1

    the beatles are from the 60's and the beatles are a little better but i love elo

  • iPhone .......Hello how are you?

  • ELO should be in the Rock and roll hall of fame!

  • 43 dislikes = 43 Brain dead morons

  • This song still gives me goosebumps.....Oh, the 70's!  Great memories!

  • I saw these guys like 20 years ago. They have not lost their touch. They sound so good in concert here. Amazing talent that Jeff is.

  • i like this song

  • ELO are better than the Beatles and they have always been down-graded. They are a the best band from the 70"s.

  • Из России с любовью!

  • @65metal, you are sooo right...

  • Great group, great song, great Jeff. The best band ever, except for the Beatles.

  • very talented man is geoff .

    my big mate

  • my big mate is lieing in the ground my big mate has yet 2 b found but he left us this.

  • Genius

  • ELO is one of the best bands. They should be in the Rock and Roll hall of fame.

    Of course I wish they would tour again, so I could see them again.

  • 25 but love this era of music....other than john mayer we have trash for music these days.

  • Fantastic

  • remember my mom and dad when i was young : (

  • I listened to this after I got dumped.

  • LOL

    

  • This song still gives me goosebumps!

  • @n3szx Me too!

  • ......Out

  • He's so chill up there........he just hangin

  • This time is real music i honestly dont give a flying f*%# about modern music

  • ELO is GREAT!!! Amazing video fercast59, THANK YOU FOR THIS BRILLIANT PRESENT TO ALL TRUE LOVERS OF A REAL MUSIC !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Multi instrumentalist, singer/songwriter, producer/arranger since he was 19 yrs old

    in the Idle race and more talent in his little finger than most. It s the enigmatic, shy,

    somewhat introverted but BRILLIANT AND LEGENDARY MUSICAL GENIUS----JEFF

    LYNNE.

  • Aahhhh i was 17 when I heard this song, im 28 now & still have their cassette tape lolz <3

  • AWESOME!!!5*****5+

  • Rosie Vela & Jeff Lynne make it magic! Perfect band and production on this too...

  • Pickup the telephone jeff

  • brilliant

  • During this era it was a time for exemplary musical talent, and this is most certainly no exception! Now we are left wanting.

  • 42 people are still trying to find the ringing phone....

  • Oh!!!! Is that an Hispanic?? Singing Background for the Great Jeff Lynne??? Way to go Rosie Vela!!!!! we love you!!!!

  • esta version es inmejorable. pero alguien me podria decir por que no cantan last train to london, en este concierto,

  • it's depressing when you type in "telephone" on the search bar and Lady Gaga is the fist suggestion that comes up. ):

  • So Great to hear this music again!!!

  • 42 dickheads never fricken answer

  • Comment removed

    I am an Englishman out here is US.... I miss this stuff.....shove rap.

    Hey!! come do a gig in Lorain will you, or near here.

    We need this badly!! Music like this is dying....

    

  • I remember when I heard this song., I thought these guys are awesome. In our house we heard R&B most of the time but when I heard this song that did it for me. I remember thinking this world is so full of people with great talent. I never as a parent let my children listen to one type of music, to this day I am now a grandmother and I play all kind of music, nothing like good music with good lyrics. That is the icing on the cake. I would buy a ticket to see this group anytime, Love them! Cecilia

  • Recien estoy escuchando a este grupo y debo decir que es la mejor musica que he oido :D!

  • @perry12night Agreed, I'm afraid the world will never see great music like this again.

  • What a true talent Jeff Lynne and ELO are, such a pleasure to listen to instead of all that garbage that's out now polluting our ears with. This is real music people! Put a "C" in front of RAP and that pretty much sums it up!

  • Listen to me this music will never come back  . music from the 70s and 80s

  • What a great song, indeed. Jeff L, superb. The whole band, superb.

  • @vanessamcqueen11 this song is gold.

  • Ahhh si baile mucho en mi juventud un gran conjunto que recuerdos

  • what a song this is i remember when i would call girls on the old dial phones in the 70s and it would keep ringing.

  • Moja ukochana grupa ELO z przed wielu lat - tak dużo wspomnień wiąże się z tą właśnie piosenką...

  • Awesome song. I totally agree with 65metal. This is when music was really good.

  • They are still good  may be getting better as time rocks on

  • WOW.........they still got it.

  • Anyone notice how all the versions on the Zoom tour are better then the studio versions? I'm serious. Lynne's confidence and abilities as a singer have improved with age. (his tone particularly is much better) Now, if only he would decide to tour again...

  • this song brings me back to my before I was born days! I love 70's music and todays noise is crap! this is real music, i feel bad for those kids, todays music is all about money, at least the big people like katy perry lol, but despite there are some great bands these days who do rock, so all you rock lovers I think a band you'd like is grouplove, the only band I like today.

  • these songs bring back my youth, didn't remember all the great songs they had til I came here, these songs meant something !

  • I love ELO- but there's something sluggish and flat about this.

  • OK

    

  • Great live recording.

  • Just want to take off those dark sunglasses, give him kisses and hugs and tell him everything is going to be alright.

  • Bei diesen Lied habe ich meine Frau kennen gelernt und lieben gelernt !!!

  • @Narzissenschlingel Ich bin froh, mein Freund!

  • The most beautiful man in the world... Face, Mind and body

    

  • The most beautiful man in the world... Mind and body

  • wireless lahhhn... give me some time.. , i´m living in deaheahead zone....

  • SOMEBODY please phone Jeff Lynne on the telephone line and tell him to get on tour ASAP! After years of Jonas, Bieber, and Gaga I think I speak for the majority when I say we are drowning in musical SEWAGE. We have learned our lesson the hard way and would jump at the chance to buy some ELO tickets!

  • @65metal Ooooh YES. apart from a VERY select few, today's music is SHTYE. Adam Lambert is up there with ELO.

  • @65metal WELL SAID MY FRIEND WHAT EVER HAPPEND TO STUFF LIKE THIS EH....

  • @65metal Cheers, well said !!!

  • @65metal

    I totally agree, I want to see them again!!!!!!!!!

  • I Never Get Tired Of Listening To ELO. What A Fantastic Band.

  • Love this song!

  • It's amazing to experience someone as talented as Jeff Lynne showing off his vulnerability in this melody, he sings right into my heart.

  • I wish I could meet Jeff Lynne ;(

  • Who's better? Jeff Lynn or Lady Ga Ga?

  • @probrojeffro jeff of course 10000%
