ELO - Strange Magic Live In London Stereo Remaster

[no1elofaniknow]

Why can't I watch Jeff Lynne grin in this video without me thinking, "MMMMMMM!!!! Manly hunka manliness!!!!"?????

[urlord24]

What an excellent version of a great song !

[Proglove85]

I love this! I've been a fan for years, and I didn't even know this stuff existed still... Thanks movejefflynnelo!

[dogboner2001]

Never saw Bev out from behind his kit before!

[no1elofaniknow]

Poor Mik! I think he kept getting sweat in his eyes. That probably stings like the dickins!

[no1elofaniknow]

I would have been soooooo jealous of Sandi back then!

[no1elofaniknow]

If he had grinned at me like that (2:52), I don't think I'd have been able to control myself. Not to seem vulgar or anything, but I probably woulda wrapped my legs around him. LOL! "SECURITY!!!!!!"

[no1elofaniknow]

@jodijaynelouise Tell me about it! I could watch Jeff Lynne grin all day long! Be still, my heart!

[Citydushbags]

the guy playing the violin looks like hes got a stiffy!!!

[ELONut]

Good news This Fusion concert has been released on DVD!!!! on amazon

[ELO1138]

@ELONut

Eagle Rock Entertainment (who released the Wembley DVD) is releasing in August a DVD of ELO's early performances including this one in its entirety. Also included and never released is the 1974 - Rockpalast performance and Brunel University in 1973. CAN'T WAIT!

[Ennylnaf]

It's really magic!

[rubyredlipstick71]

Thank you for sharing this. I like Jeff, Kelly & Bev's singing all in harmony on this.

Outstanding band then and now.

[Getrealpeeps]

You're right EnidBlytonne, we shouldn't! These guys earned it as hard as they worked. But I don't recall if they had a Hollywood walk fame.

[Christinakayrob]

I totally agree with you EnidBlytonne! 100%! You took the words out of my mouth. These guys worked really hard as musicians, but like you said, not like this nonsence we have today with copycat boybands, they call themselves Musicians, NOT! All they do is dance and sing, they don't write music really or play real instruments either! And that britney gal got a Hollywood walk of fame, how in the hell did that happen! What did she do really?

[EnidBlytonne]

And can you imagine Britney performing Strange Magic live on stage? On second thoughts it's probably best if we don't give her any ideas.

[typicalwebster]

What makes it worse is that artist these days don't write their own material. Some broke songwriter in Nashville is cranking 3 or 4 tunes a week and showcasing them to publishers to give to an artist to be performed, and in the end, it's the artist that gets all the glory. Jeff Lynne and ELO, along with many other bands of the era, were mostly genuine and wrote their own stuff, and this band in particular produced their own records. Jeff Lynne is a freaking power house to have in a band.

[EnidBlytonne]

Those days were the best - grown men, talented musicians, ability before looks, and so much variety in the work they produced. All we get now are copycat boybands and warbling wannabees. I'm so glad I can go back to listen to great music like this again or again. If I had to rely on today's output I'd go nuts.

[HazMatCFO]

Thank you for the excellent video and the digital remastering of sound..

[Just4Jeff12]

Thanks for posting this! Its so great to see these old wonderful finds.. Would love to go back to that moment in time and be there!

[schalker331]

Seconded!

[Jackabeanie]

Great video-Best on Youtube by far.

Love the little look Jeff gives the bandmember on his right at 2:49 , and the grin he gives him at 2:52.

[barbossa999]

wow jeff lynne is a genius, love elo

[eusebius65]

Very very cool :)

[ELONut]

Is this from the Fusion VHS?

[movejefflynnelo]

Yes, it is ELONut!

[FinnMove]

First time I saw Bev Bevan in this role.

Sad, that Face of the Music stuff didn´t

live very long in their concerts.

Because huge success by A New World Record

and Out of the Blue was coming.

[mbarsky]

Love the 3-part harmony on this one.
