Was this used for the 1980 Olympics? They didn't use the first 5 minutes but, it sure sounds like the body of the song that ABC's Wide World of Sports used for their daily wrap-up broadcast. On a side note, Metallica got their idea for their Ride the Lightning album cover from ELO's Face the Music album; to which I say.......Kudos Metallica for giving a nod to ELO!
@wildplot66 You hear ELO music everywhere now. It's amazing and most people don't know who it is and the music is up to 35 years old! They're my favorite group of all time.
AOR was the coolest ever! All alone, late at night, all alone with nothing but one's own imagination. Puberty ruled every thought. MTV was an upcoming nightmare. Dreams were dictatated by melodies. Real people made the music that shaped us. Elvis played, but couldn't JAM! We all wanted to fly like "Freebird". That stupid Bitch wanted her "Stairway to Heaven". Journey ruled all. We liked dancing to Disco, but proclaimed "Disco Sucks!"
has anyone ever played the beginning of this song backwards on a phonograph? i did about 20 years ago. i don't remember everything but i know he said, "TURN BACK....TURN BACK." maybe someone can tell me the rest?
My god.....This is music...A masterpiece
