  • this was my very first concert i ever went to

  • Saw them in San Diego in 1981 or 82..Love em! RIP Kelly

  • Do ya Jeff!

  • Sometimes all the stars align and a band is formed .. Beatles & ELO are an example of bands the World will never see again

  • This is a dream of my live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Great memories of a great band..A real good time in my life !!!!!!! Love it! Thanks!!!!

  • Nice. Thanks for the upload.

  • One of two ELO great riffs, this and Ma Ma Belle...up with Rebel Rebel, Satisfaction.......Marvellous.

  • Reunion tour??? Any talk??? I would travel to see this band.

  • @1singlegem1 Can't happen, unfortunately--Kelly has left us for Heaven's band

  • @sunspark01 I know it wouldn't be the same but they could get someone(good of course to fill in for Kelly)!

  • @1singlegem1... True, they could.... IF Jeff were willing ..

  • @luvyellowroses1 ......... just like status quo's "pictures of matchstick men" .... whoever the bass player was, in my opinion, helped make that song great (not taking away from any of the other members) ..... and i wonder if they got rid of him, or he just quit ..... does anyone know the history on that particular point? .... please type me something, if you know, tks!

  • do ya do ya ... want my face? ...... lyrics? how great is that?

  • We want ELO back!!

  • @luvyellowroses1 well i'm not sure "being human" should b equated to being selfish, it would be nice to see the generous side of human beings more, I read Kelly was paid about 90,000 per year as a elo employee (74-81) i think, not sure what the others were paid, I believe Bev B. had a bigger pc. of the elo pie.. but I'm sure Jeff could have afforded to reward "his mates" for there years a service, elo sold over 50 million records and sold out all of there live show's what was J. L. thinking?

  • @sweetbrowneyedlady those guys (Jeff L. Kelly G.) were the best I ever saw in a live concert I wonder if Jeff took Kelly for granted and when elo ended Jeff should have given the guy (a nice send off check (1 million) but NO he made him beg, threaten to sue) who was a integral part of elo even if it was all Jeff's writing, they all knew Jeff was the master writer and they let it be. but without Kelly there was no elo in my opinion. In the end Jeff gave him 450,000 I lost some respect for J.L.

  • @mreloo --I also lost some respect for J.L. Kelly was the best thing to ever happen to Jeff. He put his heart and soul into every performance to make ELO the great band that it was. All the band members together is what

    made ELO. They all deserved great respect.......

  • @sweetbrowneyedlady Got to agree on the harmonies in early Move/ELO. I wasn't aware Kelly died...I just thought Jeff Lynne turned ELO into a one man show, sort of like Mark Knopfler did with Dire Straits. I missed those strings in the late 70's when Lynne decided to turn ELO into a synth pop studio band.

    Worth mentioning that Bev Bevan never got the respect he deserved as a drummer, until he was invited to tour with Black Sabbath for a couple of years in the 80's.

  • Well do ya ? He iam come get it

  • Jeff did this song before with "The Move".

  • I ordered their songbook. Music today just is not like this. Love it!

  • Fucking badass! Electric Light Orchestra are one of the greatest band to ever appear in Rock and Roll history. Long Live Rock and Roll!

  • @sweetbrowneyedlady --you said it, you are so right!!!

  • These guys have perfect harmony, it's like they were born to sing together!'

  • I just heard this on the radio on the way home from work. Cranked it up and rolled the windows down. Had to look it up on Youtube and listen again. ELO rocks and I'd give my left "you-know-what" to go back in time to where the REAL music used to be....not this Justin Bieber "I can't figure out which way my friggin hair is going" crap..or the Lady Gaga (gag would be better) crap, that kids have for choices nowadays....God, I'm turning into my parents....

  • for me, the band was the band, not the individuals in the band. seems i've always tried to stay out of the fray and bullshit that goes on between band members. fleetwood mac. rumours, best album on many levels due to the nonsense in their lives but other than they were all sleeping together and breaking up, i knew nothing else, and still know nothing else. and don't care to. elo was and is elo. jeff lynne is jeff lynne and very talented on his own.

  • @tlynch1218 Amen....It's about the music....and ELO IS music. Awesome Music......

  • These guys are at the center of my rock and roll heart! ELO, ELO II, and ELO ZOOM-I love all of your tunes and great shows!

  • elo create god

  • Do Ya Do Ya Want my sperm?

  • @clashlc Jaja

  • Jeff!!! <3

  • Sorry, just not the same without the slide guitar. Couldn't they afford to buy one outside the studio? Weird. Maybe didn't want to hire one outside a session player.

  • Kelly I don't think you know how stupid you look up there.

  • Comment removed

  • @Yousuckmycox ---you are seriously disturbed--Kelly could never look anything but great-- I bet you look as stupid as you are.

  • @sunspark01 he looks funny clapping (:

  • @Marion133 it is called getting the audience involved, which he always did at concerts

    you love Jeff, I love Kelly- they both were great

  • @sunspark01 lol i didn't mean anything bad by it, i kinda laughed. its ok! lol

  • @sunspark01 dont get so defensive.

  • @Yousuckmycox this from a person who lives in is mothers basement, and plays video games and thinks he may get "lucky" someday (but won't) he'll just have to settle for what his mom tried to "teach" him (but injured herself laughing)

  • ace frehley's version is a lot better!!!

  • ace s version is much better i think

  • Nice job ripping off Alice Cooper's Be My Lover btw

  • @jonnyfrag2k Not even close.

  • If you think ELO ripped off Alice, check out "Sweet Jane" by the Velvet Underground/Lou Reed. Just sayin'.

  • @deadheaders86  ELO was around way before Velvet Unerground

  • Nah, but really, the Velvets came out in 1964, and ELO didn't form until 1971, so together they kinda bookend the Beatles lifespan....Who would a thunk it.

  • @kashmir746 Actually Velvet Underground were formed about 5 years before ELO. They are both great bands though.

  • 1:48 One of the most beautiful musical interludes in Rock 'n Roll....Riveting!!

  • Comment removed

  • SUPERB. AWESOME,ELECTRIFYING, E.L.O. FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this version doesn't do the song justice.... the studio version is soooooooooooo much betta....another reminder that it is so tough to follow the album with the live stage

  • @zzchristoph I don't disagree. But there is something about a live version that stimulates the senses....:) My all time favorite from the Best Band....

  • der derder der

  • Awesome song from the soundtrack of my life.... thanks!

  • OMG-Kelly =Fabulous,fantastic--the greatest band of all time.

  • I didn't know Jeff was in The Move ! I still have that 45... great song

  • lol funny how we all know the lyrics and the song tunes, but then when people ask us what it is and who it's by. Were clueless lol, I didn't know this song was by ELO till I was like 14

  • classic song

  • Jeff Lynn....Gawd love him always

  • sirkalin...stop listening to jonas and miley and you'll get it.

  • sl23 r u there

  • My all time favorite tune from my all time favorite band.......

  • OUCH this is good :)

  • This song rocks!

  • much better as a studio band. hard to duplicate their sound in concert

  • @sledhill bollocks matey.. you seen them live, i have and believe me they are brill, and which act ever sounds as good live as in the studio... only queen

  • One thing you have to remember specifically about ELO was their albums were brilliantly produced, and even guys that hated them would listen because the sounded different. "Out of the Blue" really stood out in a horrible way, but Lynne really shoved analog tech as far as he could then. But instead of doing that I would have preferred a '66 or '67 sound. Later, so did he.

    The digital age has an entire generation of people whose ears are effectively wrecked.

  • Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame is a joke, we all know these bands are famous, so why do you need to take 35 years to induct them?

  • Run Dmc...who the hell are they?

  • @R0022 Run Dmc is a rap group thing you know.. Did "walk this way" with Aerosmith :)

  • Fuck the Rock And Roll Hall of Shame!!!

  • Ahh.. the R&R Hall of Fame.

    Like a big thick steaming bowl of donkey dung

    It's best admired from a distance.

  • ELO IS AWESOME!

    

  • RIP MIKE EDWARDS

  • The Version of Ace Frehley is nice too, imo =)

  • Miss Katherine Anderson formally of Angleus Temple of Doom-Dream Center of Doom, I Never Seen Nothin' Like You, Do Ya Want my Love?

  • elo live is always a good thing!

  • Hall of fame also left out Alice Cooper and Foreigner, as well as ELO. The Rock and Roll hall of fame is irrelevant.

  • I wish I was cool enough to rock a fro and sunglasses 24/7.

    And never have to button my shirt.

  • Excellent! Thanks for sharing. I miss analog radio and real Rock& Roll! It is an honor to have grown up listening to bands like ELO.

    Thank you rockvidz. God Bless

  • I love to hear Kelly sing.

    RIP sir.

  • One of my favs ,every !!! Excellent band. Words come to mind - Great,Intelligent,Rockin. Weird combo . Not too many bands I would call intelligent except Boston, ELO, and Rush.

  • Comment removed

  • i like aces version more but this one kicks ass

  • Damn, I wish these guys would get together and tour again with Jeff Lynn as front man. ELO ROCKS!!

  • Yes it is a joke......RUSH not inducted yet? Hello?

  • Grand Funk Railroad ?????

  • ELO forever

  • Are you telling me that ELO are not in the Rock Hall Of Fame and that Run DMC, Madonna are? I do not believe it, I cannot believe it, is this some sort of cruel joke? ELO have been rock pioneers since the early 70's, and have their own distinctive sound that has helped the development of Rock music to what it is today.....R&RHOF is a load of wank!!!!!!!

  • @spiderdragon1969 ...and Alice Cooper, Deep Purple

  • Damn I love them! Jeff Lynne is the best. If you are a Jeff fan, check out the videos of The Traveling Wilburys, of which he was a member. Great!

  • do ya wanna see guys jamming on stage with cellos? elo is it.

  • Well to get into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, you have to pretty much be a pioneer of something in rock (feedback, over amping, multitracking, etc.). Or be a really big influence in future rock. I don't think ELO is either of those sadly.

  • @elements705 - and where does Run DMC fit in to this?

  • I love how they rock with the cello.

  • ELO FOR ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME!!

  • i don't think madonna and run dmc made rock music did they.

    how bizarre that they should be inducted.

  • who cares about accolades, especially if they're showcased in ohio,

  • spiderdragon..sheesh..your actually the joke!! ELO,BOSTON,RUSH,DEF LEPPARD AND CHAICAGO..were in the rock and roll hall of fame a long time ago...dang!!..don't you ever imbarrasse my time of music again!!

  • @vegasbill2008 oh really? what years were these bands inducted?

  • @vegasbill2008 Check the rock and roll hall of fame website. Not inducted. rockhallDOTcom/inductees/alpha­betical/E/

  • Love ELO !!! They rock! One of my all time favs!

  • They sound like Thin Lizzy here.

  • These guys have killer flows

  • I do agree that RUN-DMC belongs to the Rock hall of fame. but ELO has to be in it too! love their songs

  • do ya one of there best hit release they are one of the worlds best bands in 70s & 80s awesome 100/100 love them

  • yep elo did it, wrote it even, jeff pened this 1 when 16 in late 60's, before elo, then they released it n it charted 74 i think.! jeff cowrote some of later roy orbison, gearge harrison n tom pettys 3 faling i think it was, also wrte xanaduo which u probably all know, cheers rich.

  • me encanta cuando kelly aplaude!!! aguante E.L.O!!!

    Y que bien toca la guitarra Jeff !!!!

  • Great song

  • Why don't you make some more delicious music?? What a waste of talent...

  • Man you got a good voice... but what about to sing it and not mummle it.. Check out Ace Frehley!

  • Saw them live at the Lakeland Civic Center '76-'77 - one of my first concerts! Love it!

  • Great rocking tune from one of my favorite bands ever !!!

  • Sweet stuff!

  • OMG! I didn't know ELO did this song!

    I LOVE IT!

    AND ELO!

  • @sirkalin1

    Originally recorded why Jeff was in The Move

  • @sirkalin1 - you and me both. Get yourself a copy of "A New World Record" and enjoy.

  • i cannot understand a damn word they are singing...LOL

  • that's because you've led a sheltered life...lol

  • @dallas1963

    It still doesn't deteriorate the pure awesomeness of this song, though.

  • @dallas1963 really, what do u hear? It's pretty clear.

  • aguante la version de ace frehley!!!

  • please people it`s ELO! get with the program already!

  • Don't get me wrong, I love love love ELO. But, they were talent+ the era's feel(The Sweet/ glam) + The Beatles, for sure.

    R&R HOF? yes absolutely. ELO has many many unforgettable tunes

  • Comment removed

  • Moody Blues is another good band left out, but not as big a travestly as ELO or Rush.

  • I would like to add Deep Purple and Thin Lizzy to the R&R Hall of Fame (Shame) list. If the are going to allow the likes of Madonna and Run DMC, it should be called the Music Hall of Fame and drop the R&R prefix.

  • @huskerspew Who in the hell is Run DMC?? Makes me glad I grew up in the 70's and 80's....

  • Run DMC are great, so are ELO, you say you don't know who Run DMC are forsome sort of effect, cos you know full well all you gotta do is type in Run DMC in the youtube search, and you will easily be aquainted with them . . . Also I trust if you grew up in the 70's and 80's and are still alive today, then you also grew up in the 90's, unless you went into some form of stasis . . .

  • So who IS in the 'hall of fame'??

  • Wonderful! I listen it everyday.

  • This is a catchy tune.

    Cant help listening to it over and over again.

  • Merecen estar en el ROCKN ROLL OF THE FAME AUNQUE SEA POSTUMO, a Jeff el tiempo le dio la razon, el mundo no supo recibir bien a ELO, una de las mas grandes bandas fabricadoras de Musica.

  • This video has the best quality both sight and sound. Excellent. I love ELO!

  • Son unos cracks!!!Es una pena haber nacido tarde.xa poder haberles visto en directo

  • muy buena,como todas

  • Simplemente Magistral...la mejor banda en su estilo. Las voces en sus discos nunca hubieran sido igual sin los coros de Kelly.

  • I Love ELO!!

  • Love your live ELO videos!!!!

  • Bev is the drummer. I always wanted to come back in my second life as Richard Tandy. Playing keyboard for ELO would be freakin' awesome....

  • Being Kenny Aronoff wouldn't be bad either : )

  • hell yea and he doors keyboard :D

  • Who is the bass player who sings vocals at 1:25? Is that Bev Bevans?

    I love ELO but because the Cleveland show was canceled during the 1982 tour I never got to see them live.

  • Bass player is Kelly Groucutt. Just passed away earlier this year, RIP.

  • Kelly Groucutt is the singer and a trained opera singer at that!

  • RIP Kelly Groucutt 1945 - 2009

  • LONG LIVE BIV BIVENS !!!!!!!!!

  • Doya doya xxcc

  • ACE FREHLEY!!!!!!!

  • bev bevan is a killer drummer, remember his days with sabbath?

  • I like Kelly, too!

  • OH YES I DO!!! I Thought it was an Awesome Tour and Album,Born Again!!

  • DO YO DO YA WANT MY LOVE!!!

    This song rocked my 70's so hard.

  • great live version!

  • And yet the Rock Hall Of Fame has the audacity to induct Madonna and Run DMC and not ELO!! What the fuck!!!

  • HUGE DITTO!!!!! Let me know what I can do!!!!

  • Right arm Spiderdargon. That is a freakin' disgrace. Jeff Lynne is the greatest thing to happen to rock music in the last thirty years. He dragged it back from the abyss after all the self important rock concept albums of the seventies. Truly, would you rather listen to Yes or ELO, ELP or ELO, Mike Oldfield or ELO. There really is no contest.

  • ELO met and exceeded all qualifications eons ago. I think its a clique over there at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. I've written to the president and argued my case a few times. All I can do is thank God that I've been fortunate enough to have been exposed to ELO in the 70s, and that we can enjoy them so much, you know?

  • All it goes to show is how irrelevant the "Hall of fame" really is. There has not been a better record producer / rock artist / singer songwriter than Jeff Lynne since Sir Paul himself. The Hall of Fame is a laughing stock without his induction.

  • Er, John Lennon, David Bowie? It's all opinion, you know...

  • Of course its all opinion but I think the people have spoken already when it comes to Jeff Lynne (and John Lennon and David Bowie come to that) I wonder why the "Guardians of the Hall of Fame" are so reluctant to acknowledge the contributions of these rock legends? Makes you think there is some type of politics involved.

  • The Rock & ROll Hall of Fame honours what else? Fame-- not talent.

  • The Rock Hall Of Fame is a joke! They induct Madonna and Run Dmc but leave out ELO, Boston, Rush, Chicago and Def Leppard!!

  • Wow I didn't know that. Rush is the best band ever! I'm gonna burn the hall of fame to the ground.

  • You bring the gasoline and I'll supply the matches!!

  • I think the Sex Pistols were supposed to go in the RRHOF but Johnny Rotten(Lydon) said, SCREW YOU ! I agree, it's a joke.

  • Agreed that it is a shame that the bands you've mentioned are not included in the Hall. I'd also add The Cars and Styx as others very deserving of that honor but for some unknown reason not inducted.

  • Rush, ELO, Styx...wtf rock and roll hall of fame my ass.

  • @keymaker2112 broken

  • @keymaker2112 agreed

  • @spiderdragon1969 and KISS!!!
