I grew up with my bigger brother's music: pink floyd , beatles, supertramp, simon and gurf..., eagles...nothing to say,history of music, but I TOTALLY MISSED OUT the ELO!!!!

now with my old experience I can say that Jeff Lynn is one of the greatest musical artists of all time!
Left to nearly rot by Jeff because He didn't have a clue as to end it,Richard said,"Why not use Latitude 88 as the lyric?" and that did it! After 30 years,finally completed! It was used on the 2010 CD version of "OOTB".
@dreaming4000 , Jeff Lynn must have been smoking the wrong joint when he
decided not to put this track on a record when it was originally recorded. I guess he knew it was far ahead of its time. Whatever the reason I'm glad it's out now,
because its just one of the greatest songs I've ever heard.
Jeff, un genio inagotable. Espero pacientemente su próximo album, que sin lugar a dudas volverá a sorprendernos. Que bien que entre tanta música basura aún podamos escuchar algo de gran nivel.
I can't imagine this song in the same vein as OOTB /ANWR, although it is apparently from the same era. It just doesn't seem to fit. Sounds more like it belongs on Xanadu.
I agree...Lynne didn't start using this signature sound until the solo stuff beginning with "Electric Dreams" soundtrack. Maybe he wrote it back then and didn't record it until later...nice track, though!
He did, story goes he never released it because the producer thought it sounded like a weather report. So yeas later it struck him he should put 'it's like' before Latitude 88 North and presto, you've got yourself a single :)
Another comment to mirror what Edunator wrote. Yes, Jeff Lynne would give a tip of his hat to the quality of this video, well done dokkie2, you really have nailed it
Lynne is God but this was a crime to not release for nearly 30 years. Maybe one of my top 5 ELO records. Roll on the end of the year for the new releases...
Brilliant video dokkie2! Very entertaining! Goes along with the song! I love this song! Even though its not one of my favorite ELO tunes its still a brilliant song! Anything Jeff Lynne does is magnificient! He has the Midas touch in my opinion. Everything he touches, plays, or sings turns to gold!
I love ELO as well. I was born in 1982 and feel I missed all the great bands. It would have been so awesome to see ELO perform live, can't even imagine!!
Jeff Lynne is a music genious. Heard of ELO in 77, I was 11 years old. I sd, this is really good! then listened to all the previous yes "albums" of ELO & discovered Jeff writes & produces the songs.I bought all the albums. I followed his career w/Traveling Wilbys, G.Harrison, ZOOM. I appreciate his talent & love his music and I can't get enough of all the "Youtube" all of you put out. Its great to see many fans. My favorite band with Jeff Lynne. (Not ELO II)Thanks ELO!
BRILLIANT! I consider myself a HUGE ELO fan and have been for years,BUT I have never heard this song until now!!!!!! SHAME ON ME!!!!.Never mind,you've sorted that out for me.Thanks for posting
Genial esta cancion de Elo, o creo que Jeff Lynne en solitario ... Hoy baje el tema IN FOR THE KILL y me encanto.. una vez mas las armonias me ponen la piel de gallina.
This song pisses all over anything ELO 2 could ever do.... but folks it's not 1977! More like 2007! It's the same drum set up as petty's highway companion.....Great though!!! Keep goin' Jeff!
okay, a lot of comments on this, so i may have missed this q on it. where excactly is latitude 88 deg north? appears to be in north america, but.......
aqui desde salta,argentina yo pedropicauuu... quisiera que cuando muera mi espiritu vaya al paraiso de la electric o sea latitude 88 norhta difrutar de la musica eterna ....pedropicauuuu....
was written in 1977 when jeff was writing out of the blue but existed only as a demo...included as a bonus track on the 2007 remastered release of out of the blue. long live elo and jeff's music!
A very good song,to me nothing is more exciting than a new offering from Jeff Lynne. The sound is brilliant and to think there is stuff we haven't heard yet! I'd love to meet him and say thank you for making such lovely music and giving us all so much joy! Mr Bluesky is brilliant but so is Jeff Lynne.
Youtube is full of crap videos by wan***'s who have nothing better to do -- but this one is actually really good and themed perfectly to the late 70's video output of ELO. Also a great song from their best album!
He is just a genius.when i was twenties he is the reason i live. Same now. I can remember when i first listen "secret message"that was fantastic itself. Can I meet him before i die????
Jeff's voice always makes me smile. He has that one of a kind voice. Perfect mix of Paul Mcartney, John Lennon and Bob Dylan. Jeff's voice never lost that powerful aspect.
Im 16 and I also love Bluebird is Dead, quite alot of my friends, who are into the modern clash of screamingandhittingyourfriendovertheheadwithanampmusic have said that some of the songs from On the Third Day are pretty cool for 1974, especially Dreaming of 4000 for some strange reason. It might be a weird coincidence.
I'd also like to see a decent video done for 'Julie Don't Live Here' and 'Yours Truly', please, the anime fanatics are driving me nuts!!!
1967 dude is probably a Jeff Lynne stalker. Sure sounds like it. To him, Jeff is messiah-like who can do no wrong. I simply wish I could punch 1967 in the face with Rosie Vela's ring on!
This song is really a mix of 1977 and 1987. It very well fits on Out of the Blue. But its that Jeff Lynne drum sound: every Lynne album produced since 1987. Love this song though, its now one of my favorite ELO songs of all time.
so you spotted it then,Jeff does play drums but shall we say very limited,bev was left to his own devices for the ELO drums often overdubing with different room types,as I have said before every player in ELO made the sound ,you spotted the drums were not quite right,somebody should shake Jeff up and get the 78 line up back together
im 16, and i know that this is the greatest band that will ever walk on this world, u fight bout bevan and lynne, but neone that was part of ELO was pure gold, end of story, but my favorite song still to this day will be bluebird is dead
at last everyone has stopped arguing about the jeff elo pt 2 thing phew! the last lot of comments have been at least constuctive and pleasurable to read,so to ELO ,Jeff ,ELO PT2 ,the Orchestra ,thanks for the music.
nah,Bev asked Jeff to do another album,but he said he didn't want to do another in that concept ever again,but your right Armchair theatre sounds very ELO,but dosn't everything jeff does ie, set on you-George Harrison, won't back down-Tom Petty,etc etc,but whatever, still good music from all of them.
point of clarification: Richard, Bev, Kelly, and everybody else who contributed to ELO's records-- all no doubt talented in their own right. But none of them could ever truly be ELO without Jeff (as amply demonstrated by ELO II), whereas the singer, songwriter, producer, and sonic architect of everything they did is more than capable of carrying on without them.
That may be true, but ELO Part II sure gave it a money for the money, the were great in their own right. They did have Louis Clark that provided the same sonic architecture on incorporating the strings into their music. But like you said, didn't have Jeff and the special talents he can only bring to the table. ELO part II continues on as just Orchestra today. I came across their website last night. I think part of the problem is that ELO just faded out of popularity in the mainstream
This should be the official music video for this song, I can't believe this song came from the late 70's. I think you should submitted it to Jeff Lynne. I only wish the original group (Jeff, Richard, Bev, and Kelly)would get back together. I miss ELO and ELO Part II
Lynne is a prick. Look what he did to Bev and Kelly and the rest! ok, he's a good songsmith...but it ends there. The man fucked over the whole orchestra, save Tandy. Maybe Tandy has photos of Jeff? Why else did he stay???
I love Jeff too, but one man does not make a music group. Each person bring his own talents...Bev on drums, Richard on keyboards, Kelly's incredible voice next to Jeff's, Mik on violin, and Jeff the songsmith and lead guitar. All those players at minimum made ELO
gotogoman.....Go whine somewhere else. You are parroting the same crap that you have seen on other sites or on here. You people that supposedly hate JL so much sure do like to watch his videos and listen to his music! Methinks thou dost protest too much. Maybe you really do like his music, you are just too wrapped up in your baseless hatred of him to admit it.
I agree entirely with your comments, after all, none of us are perfect! ELO are just about as good as it gets, to misquote - it's the song, not the singer!
Well, you have proven your intelligence. I bet Bev and Kelly would really think highly of you for getting on here and telling people to "f*** off". I'm sure they told you to say that to me. You are such an intelligent defender of them. Go take your lies somewhere else. You are another person that hates JL so much that you get online and watch his videos. Makes no sense. Just keep talking. I'll keep laughing at you.
Oh such words! Try debating the fact he upset 2 longtime members so much (1 being co-founder)that they feel so strongly about him! Give me your limp-wristed explanation as to why Jeff is NOT a dink for what he did to them!
Your argument just does not hold up because they seem happy at this point. Kelly got money like he wanted in the court case against JL and Bev is doing fine with the band Bev Bevan's Move. So they have moved on in life, and so should you. This is my last response to you because you just don't want to let go which makes it like debating with a brick wall. Have a good time with your grudge.
I'll say when this ends, jerk! So now you acknowledge there was a lawsuit? Hmmm. Neither are doing "as fine" as in a proper reunion of ORIGINAL (heyday)ELO, which SHOULD be occurring right now. If not for Jeff.
YOU are the brick wall for being too dumb to know what truly happened with regards to your messiah, JL!!
And if you watch ZOOM, try not to vomit when the sex toys appear on stage. Rosie Vela? Pleeeeaassee!
I-tunes is a great program! just give it a try... and don't believe all the pc users you've spoken with saying winamp is a better way to play your music library!! :)
by now the new remaster from 'out of the blue' must be available in the shops!
I've been unable to even locate the song via iTunes and it's making me nuts. This video's the first change I've had to hear the full song (many thanks, btw). Has anyone in the U.S. been able to buy via iTunes, and if so, please let me know what keywords you searched with.
Okay, I bought it through Wal-Mart's website and it is a very low price. That site is extremely easy to use and the downloads are very fast. I bought this song off of there the day it was released. Try it.
ta1k0....I bought it on Wal-Mart's music download site. They have every song you can imagine and the site is easy to use. Just go to walmart dot com and click on their "download music" link.

This song is really a mix of 1977 and 1987. It very well fits on Out of the Blue. But its that Jeff Lynne drum sound: every Lynne album produced since 1987. Love this song though, its now one of my favorite ELO songs of all time.

so you spotted it then,Jeff does play drums but shall we say very limited,bev was left to his own devices for the ELO drums often overdubing with different room types,as I have said before every player in ELO made the sound ,you spotted the drums were not quite right,somebody should shake Jeff up and get the 78 line up back together

You are very smart for being only 16, ELO is the greatest band...my favorite song is every song since 1974

Does not sound like a 1977 song at all.

Do you think if Bev didn't reform ELO Part II back in the late '80s, Armchair Theatre would have been the next ELO album?
dhonzik 4 years ago
nah,Bev asked Jeff to do another album,but he said he didn't want to do another in that concept ever again,but your right Armchair theatre sounds very ELO,but dosn't everything jeff does ie, set on you-George Harrison, won't back down-Tom Petty,etc etc,but whatever, still good music from all of them.

When I first heard Cloud Nine, I would have said that over half the songs sounded like ELO with only a 1 or 2 songs that sounded like George Hsrrison
dhonzik 4 years ago
point of clarification: Richard, Bev, Kelly, and everybody else who contributed to ELO's records-- all no doubt talented in their own right. But none of them could ever truly be ELO without Jeff (as amply demonstrated by ELO II), whereas the singer, songwriter, producer, and sonic architect of everything they did is more than capable of carrying on without them.
tvtrey 4 years ago
That may be true, but ELO Part II sure gave it a money for the money, the were great in their own right. They did have Louis Clark that provided the same sonic architecture on incorporating the strings into their music. But like you said, didn't have Jeff and the special talents he can only bring to the table. ELO part II continues on as just Orchestra today. I came across their website last night. I think part of the problem is that ELO just faded out of popularity in the mainstream

That should have been a run for the money. LOL

This should be the official music video for this song, I can't believe this song came from the late 70's. I think you should submitted it to Jeff Lynne. I only wish the original group (Jeff, Richard, Bev, and Kelly)would get back together. I miss ELO and ELO Part II
dhonzik 4 years ago
I too wish the original band were inclined to collaborate again, but haven't you left out one member? One of the real MOVErs and shakers?

Lynne is a prick. Look what he did to Bev and Kelly and the rest! ok, he's a good songsmith...but it ends there. The man fucked over the whole orchestra, save Tandy. Maybe Tandy has photos of Jeff? Why else did he stay???

I love Jeff too, but one man does not make a music group. Each person bring his own talents...Bev on drums, Richard on keyboards, Kelly's incredible voice next to Jeff's, Mik on violin, and Jeff the songsmith and lead guitar. All those players at minimum made ELO
dhonzik 4 years ago
gotogoman.....Go whine somewhere else. You are parroting the same crap that you have seen on other sites or on here. You people that supposedly hate JL so much sure do like to watch his videos and listen to his music! Methinks thou dost protest too much. Maybe you really do like his music, you are just too wrapped up in your baseless hatred of him to admit it.
al1967dude 4 years ago
I agree entirely with your comments, after all, none of us are perfect! ELO are just about as good as it gets, to misquote - it's the song, not the singer!

fuck off lynne defender. Have you ever asked Kelly and/or Bev how they feel about Jeff? I have, and the answer aint pretty!
getchasumm 4 years ago
Well, you have proven your intelligence. I bet Bev and Kelly would really think highly of you for getting on here and telling people to "f*** off". I'm sure they told you to say that to me. You are such an intelligent defender of them. Go take your lies somewhere else. You are another person that hates JL so much that you get online and watch his videos. Makes no sense. Just keep talking. I'll keep laughing at you.
al1967dude 4 years ago
Oh such words! Try debating the fact he upset 2 longtime members so much (1 being co-founder)that they feel so strongly about him! Give me your limp-wristed explanation as to why Jeff is NOT a dink for what he did to them!
getchasumm 4 years ago
Your argument just does not hold up because they seem happy at this point. Kelly got money like he wanted in the court case against JL and Bev is doing fine with the band Bev Bevan's Move. So they have moved on in life, and so should you. This is my last response to you because you just don't want to let go which makes it like debating with a brick wall. Have a good time with your grudge.
al1967dude 4 years ago
I'll say when this ends, jerk! So now you acknowledge there was a lawsuit? Hmmm. Neither are doing "as fine" as in a proper reunion of ORIGINAL (heyday)ELO, which SHOULD be occurring right now. If not for Jeff.
YOU are the brick wall for being too dumb to know what truly happened with regards to your messiah, JL!!
And if you watch ZOOM, try not to vomit when the sex toys appear on stage. Rosie Vela? Pleeeeaassee!

I-tunes is a great program! just give it a try... and don't believe all the pc users you've spoken with saying winamp is a better way to play your music library!! :)
by now the new remaster from 'out of the blue' must be available in the shops!

I've been unable to even locate the song via iTunes and it's making me nuts. This video's the first change I've had to hear the full song (many thanks, btw). Has anyone in the U.S. been able to buy via iTunes, and if so, please let me know what keywords you searched with.
steveasat2 4 years ago
Okay, I bought it through Wal-Mart's website and it is a very low price. That site is extremely easy to use and the downloads are very fast. I bought this song off of there the day it was released. Try it.
al1967dude 4 years ago
ta1k0....I bought it on Wal-Mart's music download site. They have every song you can imagine and the site is easy to use. Just go to walmart dot com and click on their "download music" link.
