Attn: Kid Rock and other rip-off artists of today. If you are going to do a cover tune, this is how it is done. Watch how Jeff Lynne breathes new life into a classic tune instead of shovelling dirt on it! IF YOU CAN'T DO IT LIKE THIS, THEN PLEASE LEAVE IT ALONE.
I was at this gig back in 78! who needs drugs.... this was the final set and we came out of Wembley even the car park was rocking with every hitting there horns... what a night !!!!
Most films I see of bands in 1978 are complete crap, this is excellent. I get overwhelmed at how great ELO was/is. What do we have to listen to today? Nimrods doing dirty little rhymes over other people's records.

gotta say it... the only one that seems serious in this number is Richard Tandy, all the other members has just lost themselves in some kind of frenzy, the cellos and the violin just sounds horrible. Jeff makes an okay performance, but just mashing his guitar like that just seems like a bad excuse for a solo. By the end, everything just sounds laughably ridiculous, due to the high tempo.
Any good Rock band likes to 'rip it up' on a live stage! ELO were no different in this regard, they were obviously having a great time as were their audience!, whats the point in a live rendition being identical to a studio recording? in that case you might as well stay home and listen to the record instead!
@abcakl Oh a musician weighs in with his higher intellect. Goody. And what records have you released or produced other than the record for being a doosh rocket on youtube?

Don't care how dated it may look, it still rocks. Saw the show, 1978, Tarrant County Convention Center, Ft. Worth, Texas. Blew me away then!
