Electric Light Orchestra - Tightrope (HQ)

[maninthestreet01]

New World Record was the first album I ever bought. I remember coming home from the record shop and putting on my parents Fidelity auto-changer record player, and then the opening chords of this track flowed out of the speakers.......

[DiligentSleeper]

Probably my favourite ELO song! there's so many i like but this one is just so darn awesome!!! :-D <3

[DennisBastian]

Epic... I hate using that word but theres really no other word to describe this

[BelRiose2000]

The chord progression on this one is mindboggling. It is hard to pick them out because of all the modulation.

[vw420warlock]

AOTP bitch

[sonnydaytona]

One of the best bands EVER! Just compare that music to nowadays....

[starwriter23]

One of their best album openings ever! (El Dorado Overture and Fire on High are pretty tough to beat.)

[romeodu91]

my remix of a french remix of tightrope's intro

watch?v=DtcAVsqAF-Y

[romeodu91]

one of the most f***in' awesome intro I've ever heard.

[akathelawn]

This is as as every bit as good as it was in the early 80's.... Love it!

[probrojeffro]

From Eldorado on, it's just a ride of hit after hit after hit. Can you say one of the best song writers . . . . . ever? Sure can. Jeff Lynne. There, I said it. HA! ;O)

[TheHernanPatricio]

El maestro Director Jeff Lynne se las mandó con el intro de esta canción, es un LUJO MUSICAL

[callmeloretter]

My little brother came down to ask me something. He probably expected me to say that I was glued to the screen, but instead I said this... "Not right now, you moron. Can't you see I'm glued to the speakers?"

[KimmoPeltola1]

Jeff Lynne changed my life with his exceptional songwriter gift. Very few match him.

[katieson2005]

Love. Love. Love ELO! I love this song!

[ElGaToNoEsBuEnO]

a worker of mine was on the skids,when i dropped him off he said thx for everything and hope to see you someday soon. I told him to get back in he can stay with me and he has been working for me since then 17 yrs now.This was the song I put on to lift his spirits and he still tells the story to this day I always smile when he does.

This album, and this track particularly, made my summer... all of 18 I was, and I love it no less.

[Th22]

This song makes two things: 1-Me happy, 2-Me want to dance.

[JBofBrisbane]

THE quintessential Electric Light Orchestra song.

[Rawego]

@JBofBrisbane quintessential, a tinny kind of word.

[maninthestreet01]

This is track 1 of the very first LP I ever bought.
