Electric Light Orchestra - On The Run

[snackkracker101]

Strangely a Nickelodeon ad pops up showing their new How To Rock,I'm like(that's a offense to the classic rock genre considering that nickelodeon will never compete with the classics!)So i warn all of you all not to watch that show or any other crappy musical nickelodeon show.This,The Beatles,Rush,Styx and etc are REAL music while alot of people at schools like Holmes High School listens to that crappy rap genre.Rap will die and Classic Rock will live on FOREVER!!!!!

[gabrymr]

oh my it's strange to see how young Tandy looks here.

[ZxbuzzkillerxZ]

ok maybe i was born in the early 90s and didnt grow up listening to this but i still love it

[callastoujours]

I love ELO!!!! this make me remember my childhood!!!!

[4533GEORGE]

albina perfect

[tatylaurita]

50 veces escuchada... y de manera continua.

[frizzlefrap]

best song off of "discovery" album ...... such an upbeat song ..... can't feel bad listening to this ......... the guys look like their havin' fun in this video ...... time can sure change a lot of things ..... too bad, if it's for the worse part of life!

[ewita41]

Brilliant .... !!!

[lexi3570]

a favorite song of mine from ....... awhile ago ....... saw at the world series of rock at cleveland municipal stadium in 78 (with foreigner and journey (and trickster)). awesome show!

[Taffy11000]

elo is da shizz

[PaxEmpyrean]

He looks exactly like Napoleon Dynamite.

[monkynmee57]

They made a video for this??? And had animation in it??? If I'd know that when I was 13 and had every note of this song memorized I'd probably have dropped dead of joy. As it is this is wonderful to see, thanks for posting!

[seanmoo2]

Wow. That's a moustache to be proud of.

[Debbiec4vett]

Hunkiest and most beautiful guy in the world...Seen many men and they don't compare to you

[Debbiec4vett]

Hunkiest and most beautiful guy in the world...

[wilyjcp]

13 navos

[mircuccio83]

sono micidiali

[Stahle001]

what are the violins and stuff doing there?

I know the ELO story and everything but I can't hear any strings (except for some synthezised ones) in this song...

[69stormyweather]

i love jeff he is so sexy in this video

[lexi3570]

such an upbeat song ...... awesome song ...... orchestral touch ..... makes it totally ELO ..... never tire of listening to it!

[RayL1983]

I think that ELO would have sold a lot more records if they hadn't released any images of the ugly bastards. They look really creepy.

[1946pisces]

Way before their time....these guys and girls from Birmingham. So melodic and led by a musical genius in Jeff...the music is not dated nearly 40 years on and when I play it now in Melbourne everyone starts tapping their feet and dancing! I put Jeff Lynne up there with some of the great singer/songwriters of that time in UK including Steve Winwood, Taupin/John and Phil Collins plus there's a few more I can't recall.

[no1elofaniknow]

@1946pisces "....these guys and girls from Birmingham."

Um, there were no girls in the group (officially, anyhow... at that time).

[TimothyArcher1]

jeff ,is so hot ..

[no1elofaniknow]

@kurtfostervideo I agree!

[LivingTOOgood]

Marry me Jeff Lynne! :o)~

[handyman5366]

just a fabulous song..brilliant all the time

[Taffy11000]

d,d,d,d,d, don't wanna lose it :)

[bobcat521]

you just got to love 'em

[JettLaken]

I think the whole Discovery album is great, i think it their best album. A Piece Of Gold

[leleizione]

13 people have led a sheltered life and have never experienced garlic bread

[LivingTOOgood]

Happy. Heartfelt. Sexxxy.

[frizzlefrap]

the best song off this album ...... energetic ..... motivating ..... original .... ELO is one fantastic group!

[Ubeans2001]

Drum loop for "Don't Bring Me Down" hahaha

[royhaworth]

Who's the guy with the violin? He seems to crop up in all of the Discovery videos.

[bondboy104]

I LOVE ELO!

[tyszka1000]

NIKT JUZ NIE ZAGRA TAK JAK ONI

[iMorelock]

13 people are not on the run.

[Wayzgoosey]

Kelly Groucott - what were you thinking with that moustache??? great track though - ELO always make me smile

[sunspark01]

@Wayzgoosey It"s spelled Groucutt==and he probably thought he looked great, and he did!!

[Ginandor]

Just brilliant. Makes me smile and that can't be bad!

I see Justin Bieber got all his fans to dislike:-)

[deadpuppet666]

B)

[stinkypants10]

Whoa - I just shot back 30 years! Thanks for another great ELO memory. They are simply timeless.

[Subskil]

I would like to know what are those glasses.

[no1elofaniknow]

@Subskil Aviator shades. I don't know what brand.

[AusCalais]

@no1elofaniknow Try RayBan

[no1elofaniknow]

@AusCalais You're probably right.

[kinglizard22]

I just can get this song out of my head!!! is so fucking good

[PigsSantaAndBacon]

@kinglizard22 You CAN get this song out of your head?

[no1elofaniknow]

@anubethc45 Look on Amazon for Electric Light Orchestra, Out Of The Blue at Wembley (not new remastered one). The DVD also contains music videos of the entire Discovery album (including this one).

[RiCKarOO22]

@anubethc45 that would be awesome !!

[castertunes1967]

My favorite ELO song! It just works! Never once on the radio!

[leeknivek]

was this the precursor to the strobelight?

[no1elofaniknow]

@leeknivek good question

[fivesecondsonly]

ELO is my favorite band. I don't think they have 1 bad song! Every one of their songs are terrific!

[Jefgg]

Disco? Very!

[3a57a3a3]

Agreed rorymacve



[thedarkone2134]

I've got this on a record. That record gets played a lot.

[sarahjenks1972]

friggin fab, i just luuuuuuuurv ELO :-)

[Bezplin]

Grew up listening to this band, awesome! Seems to me these days bands are made up of pretty people who in the main cannot sing play an instrument or write music or lyrics. These boys produced so many classics that i still listen to regularly. Thankyou ELO.

[sweetgee0072003]

E.L.O is one best British bands without the British even knowing. However every one love the their tunes.

xx/;o)xxxxx> d.jsunray- Gee

[TheGuacTaco]

I'm so glad to see other people commenting and expressing their love of ELO.this band gets me happier then any other band i have ever listened too.

[HeathenLoveGod]

@TheGuacTaco: I agree! I could never understand why ELO was considered so uncool in my teenage years! They are sheer brilliance, and Jeff Lynne is an absolute, songwriting genius IMHO. My adolescence was shaped by these wonderful performers!

[Anfro777]

@TheGuacTaco that, i find, to be absolutely true for me too.

[crisp2882]

@TheGuacTaco you are so right.They are awesome.

[ElvisLucasPresley]

Welcome to my world!This music world is the true my world.

I so love this songs....This music is like on a Elvis Presleys Music.

Amazing,great and nice Music world....

[ElvisLucasPresley]

Welcome to my world!This music world is the true my world.

I so love this songs....

[IwontConform]

love bev bevan`s drumkit.Look at those lovely chrome plastic covered maple shells.So 70s!

[JeffLynnesucksc0ck]

Jeff Lynne is on the run to get away from Ono Yoko because she found out Lennon had a gay affair with Jeff. He is so queer he shoves anything up his arse.

[Marion133]

@JeffLynnesucksc0ck YOKO ONO

[cavegirl627]

@JeffLynnesucksc0ck  HOW CAN U HATE JEFF LYNNE ??????? DONT U DARE DOWN TALK JEFF LYNNE

[JeffLynnesucksc0ck]

@cavegirl627 Did I say I hated him?? huh? idiot.

[no1elofaniknow]

@JeffLynnesucksc0ck Have you had a lobotomy or something?????

[Surfliner6908]

@cavegirl627 yeah, wheres the "middle finger" button for this guy?

[Alecdeluxe]

Difficult to watch in some parts--did we really have to have our shirts open, gents? But a damn fine song, and worth seeing for history's sake.

[Marion133]

@Alecdeluxe shirts open???

[Marion133]

hehe i like how he moves his head while he sings :D

[Scott06096]

these guys are fantastic. My dad said I listened to ELO in the womb!

[no1elofaniknow]

@Scott06096 LOL! I know my daughter definitely did!

[Nickah37]

@Scott06096 Mine too! Lol :D

[degouteur]

@Scott06096 Wow, so precocious,. What where you doing up/ down there ? :)

[bourne9999]

@Scott06096 Smart Dad!!! And He has Awesome taste!!

[WilliamOfNine]

@Scott06096 I was listening to ELO since before my ears developed~

[63GTOMAN]

Electric Light Orchestra is the best for me I feel like angels singing in my ears I love them until now My dream is to see them one day. Anna

[63GTOMAN]

Electric Light Orchestra is the best for me I feel like angels singing in my ears I love them until now My drean is to see them one day. Anna

[bestyetpictures]

Luke Skywalker on the keys at 1:41

[saincai]

12 people do not know their asses from their elbows when it comes to great music. This is why Beiber/Gaga fans should not have internet access

[Forsure3333]

The vocal performance from 3:00 is too short!!

[helalumo]

Jeff himself declared he wanted the most annoying intro. I found it amusing and fantastic.

[DartsRme312]

E.LO...is the kind of band you could listen to on a 24 hour road trip..you never get tired of their sound...they have so many great tunes...GREAT BAND...

[Stuart0000X]

@DartsRme312 I suppose they're the band you would listen if you were On The Run.

[barrybwfc]

@Stuart0000X LOL.... BUT THEY ARE A GREAT BAND

[toskanero]

se salen mis compas de ELO, talento, creatividad, alegria, esperanza, entusiasmo, no se de que me dan ganas, me alegra esta rola, de lo mejor que yo haya oido, no fueron mis tiempos, pero me gusta mucho este estilo. Ojala un dia pueda verlos en concierto.

[TheElo1804]

ESTA CANCION NO FUE EXCESIVAMENTE COMERCIAL EN ESPAÑA PORQUE ESTABA EN UN ALBUM (DISCOVERY) LLENO DE Nº 1 PERO ES UNA CANCION EXCEPCIONAL Y GENIAL COMO ELLOS. EL TROZO INSTRUMENTAL NO HE OIDO NUNCA UNA COSA IGUAL ESA MEZLA DE SONIDO SOLO LO PUEDEN HACER GENTE PRIVILEGIADA Y LLENA DE TALENTO.

[Englishjustice66]

This was never released as a single, it was an album track only, that happened to have a video made for it like the other songs on the album

[dragonspire1964]

@Englishjustice66 They made the entire Discovery album into a video.

Every song has a video.

You can actually get it as an extra when you purchase the Zoom video!

[Englishjustice66]

@dragonspire1964 Yes I know this, thats what i said! 2 points though, This was not a 45 single release (though it could have been) and point 2 it was a bonus on the Out Of the Blue video not Zoom

[codern]

ELO= MAGIC! so underrated, yet no surprise living in this ridiculously stupid world we live in. E.L.O PURE AWESOME!

[Eldryzif]

On The Run drums loop = Don't Bring Me Down

[stinkypants10]

@Eldryzif Sorry, but it's not even close. For one thing, the tempo is faster on "On the Run".

[LarryFxON3R]

wow!

[chatterbox904]

I dont know why people say Jeff Lynne is the 5th Beatle.....he is an amazing composer/musician in his own right....going by the many ELO fans who like him for being the genius that he is.

[spacebearology]

He reminds me of Johnny Knoxville in this video for some reason.

[MADAMEMEDUSSA]

Bailable, cantable, fresco, orquestal, popie y pedazo de canciones...alguien da más???

[woldberg]

ELO FTW!!!

[CarlesRobert1]

ÚNICOS!!!

[somnus53]

thx gta4 and skate 2 for intro of elo!!!

[FERGUTRI]

ELO: I-RRE-PE-TI-BLE

¿Para cuando el próximo album de Jeff?

[toskanero]

taban kabrones los ELO, lastima que ya no me toco verlos en vivo, supongo que ya no andan de gira, pero su estilo es unico, pa volver empezar otra vez, amalajohn.

[PHILLIPBOZARTH]

what fun to see the Boys doing what they did best and what fun to bring back great memories

[WBShepherd]

Thanks. Always luved this song...ever since it was Top 10 way back when!

[McTroploin]

Really...fantastic. ç:o)

[RetArmyMan03]

ELO, Boston and KISS my all-time favorites that started in the 70s.

[mattanddi62]

my favorite band too. Love 'em!!!!

[helalumo]

Jeff always takes you by surprise every time you think you've heard everything. This song has at least three different ideas of songs. But he says what the heck I can do more than this.. HE'S THE GREATEST

[helalumo]

In that time Synths were monophonic.. The ending is just amazing

[orangefunk]

@helalumo Polys had been around since 1975/76 with the Polymoog, Oberheim 4 voice, etc... indeed the synth in this song is Yamaha's CS80 polysynth which came out in late 77.

[chrisbitz]

forgotten about this tune, but as soon as I heard the intro I remembered!! thanks!

[skipper8257]

What a great freeking song. Forgot this one. Thanks for posting.

[WeZetMusic]

The definition of music. Catchy, disco and the genius mind of Jeff Lynne to make it a hit. That's what lifted (Lift me up Lynne!) ELO up in the end 70's/80's from all other pop-music.

[Erish053094]

Great song. BTW, Sixpence has a cover of this song! :)

[brucellocervato]

the bass line is amazing!!! I love it

[jostein1963]

any bether,for us,that is from the 80 ìes?:-)

[no1elofaniknow]

@jostein1963 Check out videos for Hold On Tight & Twilight (1981), Secret Messages & Rock N Roll Is King (1983), Calling America & So Serious (1986).

[StoneBud420]

this a hip, hip band, fuk yeah :D

[drkam6]

Yamaha CS-80 RULES

[Doodleferret]

This song is awesome. <3

Camera work is kind of sketchy though...

[no1elofaniknow]

@Doodleferret ~shrug~ It was the 70's.

[Doodleferret]

@no1elofaniknow That's as good an excuse as any.

[Aidsteen]

1:08 in -- Violinist turns to drummer and wonders "WTF am I doing here?" Drummer smiles and just keeps jamming. Awesome.

[neurochris]

this is the first time ive heard of this band some guy told me about it and i would never of known about it if I didn't meet him.

[no1elofaniknow]

@neurochris You owe that guy a debt of gratitude, my friend. You have no idea what he's done for you. But keep listening to ELO's great music. You'll find out!

[BuzzyLox]

@neurochris ...Welcome to the wonderful world of Jeff Lynne and ELO, sit back and enjoy the show, you have a lot of catching up to do.

[ganGaZION]

@BuzzyLox 

[eymi1]

los amo ;o;

[umbarellafella]

3.30 when it all blends together its the most satifying song i ever heard and one of the best

[Phagedaena]

ELO are awesome. My guilty pleasure - I wore out my dad's "discovery" LP when I was a kid in the 80's. I still think they are hip, although this is probably not a view that is shared by all. Fuck IT. Great production, Great artwork. All good.

[romanicus1]

one of the greatest bands of all time superb music i first heard them in the late 1970s and ive been hooked since awesome!

[LarryFine21]

de acuerdo con "heywowitsfelipe"

:)

[BettinaBalser]

So much WIN.

[Liefssmarije]

ELO rockss

[hofiro]

Hayest intro in the world. I think I like dudes now.

[MegaJavier78]

Son unos genios de la combinacion de intrumentos, la verdad es admirable como grupo musical

[shogunblade]

This some is just too much... I want to start dancing right now to it, It's awesome to hear the band do one of those real fun dancing songs.

[heywowitsfelipe]

This song is amazing! This album is phenomenal! the band is out of this world!

ELO, always the best!~

[mattanddi62]

very underrated song.  LOVE ELO!!

[MrLagargola]

MIRA EL BARBUDO ESE QUIEN LO CONOCE?

[rorymacve]

Greatest band, with the greatest violinist, greatest songwriter, greatest lead singer, greatest lead guitarist, greatest drummer, greatest pianist/keyboarder, greatest bassist. In other words, just great!! Love em!!

[sunspark01]

@rorymacve best description possible- greatest of all

[delora33]

@rorymacve Somehow I get the feeling that you all are REALLY big fans of these guys.

[rorymacve]

@delora33 Damn right! =-D

[delora33]

@rorymacve It's nice to see loyal fans. By the way, your channel is fasinating, your videos are great.
