  • Wow, I saw the word "remastered", thought nothing about it, this thing is fricking exploding my puters speakers

  • an alltime high

  • * * * * * 

  • Wish I was there..

  • SUperrrrrrrrrr--THX

  • Sweet Talkin' Woman by ELO

    Don't Look Back by Boston

    Same time, I had listening very well when I was Junior High School.

    Thank you !!!

  • Absolutely my favorite song from this concert. Kelly's harmony part on "I gotta get back to you" is a nice extra touch. I get the feeling Jeff really liked playing this; he's really into it (relative to other songs) and he even smiles a bit! Jeff and the gang at the height of their powers....excellence.

  • Ok Kelly Groucutt is badass. He sings perfect harmonies without ever having to look at his left hand. Awesome fret memory!

  • @bassplayeroceanside -you are so right, he is perfection at its finest!!!!!

  • @ELONut ok, 3 string players, drummer, keyboard, bass, jeff, (thats 7) and a mystery acoustic player that does vocals just out of the camera view....then that explains what my ears are hearing and i'm not seeing on screen. i feel bad he doesnt get any camera exposure.

  • @southpawjay oops i meant to say an eighth! :)

  • ok i am listening to the remastering and here is my take on the remix. the string players aren't singing, the drummer isnt singing...the keyboardist isnt singing...the bass player is singing backup, and jeff is definately singing lead vocal. but there is extra vocals added (in the remix) along with the synth vocorder vocal part. and i do hear a hint of acoustic guitar in the mix too. evidently they added more during the remastering to fill the holes. it definately sounds good. jmho

  • @southpawjay Yep, you're correct. The previous version of this perfornance had the backing (studio) track turned up to about a "7" with the actual live music & singing at about a "3" on your volume knob. This remastered version basically reverses that. Those extra vocals you hear are just Jeff from the album version of the song.

  • I just can't get enough of this song! I have listened to it over and over! I am personally going to find that 1 dislike, and give them a piece of my mind.

  • Effortless. I listended to the recorded version today and thought it couldn't be done live. I was wrong. Very good.

    The backing for Jeff is fantastic on this.

  • For the amount of vocals on the original, this version was a pretty good effort by two of them!

  • What bass is kelly playing? I can't figure it out!

  • Jeff Lynne and ELO should be in the rock and roll hall of fame.

  • @david1leigh wait.. they're not?!?!?!?!

  • @jmhdbrown Hard to believe, isn't it?

  • rehearsal? more please.

  • This band is absolutely amazing! I started to appreciate this music when i first listened to one of my dads Dire straits cd's, then i realised that it wasn't just mark knopfler that was super talent but the majority of these bands are FUCKING LEGENDARY!!! Excuse the language but i feel this needs to be said especially from a 23yr old!!

  • thanks for the great vid ELOnut

  • ELO-greatest band ever created, and Kelly is an amazing bass player

  • EPIC!

  • ELO were my obsession growing up in the 80s.....so glad I have now refound them :)

  • I'm watching this because I've been watching my DVD but skipping the Turn to Stone and Sweet talking women segments because of the overdub. And I've got a theory! These are the two songs that are obviously overdubbed and Jeff fluffs the words in both. Do you think that might be the reason for these overdubs in the first place. Someone obviously that he was righting a wrong whereas he was doing an enormous disservice.

  • @trossachs2003 Possibly! Remember back in the day this was such a high profile performance and jeff being the perfectionist he is, may not have been happy about mistakes he made, and thus the later overdubs and undeserved bad reputation they got as a result! Its a shame it took nearly 30 years for this to be rectified

  • @ELONut I don't think Jeff Lynne had anything to do with the editing of this for TV back in 78. I think he would've cringed had he known that it would appear as though they were lip-syncing.

  • Qué lindo, me encanta!

  • Thank you for posting this superb version!

  • Jeff and Kelly were a little off-key at times here, but they still did a terrific job! I can just imagine how difficult it was for them to be able to hear themselves singing, just 'cos of the sheer noise bouncing around the inside of all that aluminum & fiberglass. And when ya can't hear yourself, you're more likely to sing off-key. Jeff Lynne has stated in interviews that it was VERY difficult to perform in that spaceship. Their B shows prob snded bttr than their A shows.

  • Man I just ordered the new Eagle Vison version from Amazon. I had the old crappy one. This is more like it!!!

  • i've loved elo since i was 10 yrs old..i had a 45 of "telephone line" that was green and translucent if my memory serves me..thank you brits for some outstanding performers..hats off

  • @marine4lyfe85

    same here! I have several 45s of ELO songs....my sister and I would play them over and over again and dance around the living room...:)

  • those string boys are so fine...

  • this sounds so hot..

  • To ELOnut...I didn't think I could hear a better version of this song by them. I stand corrected. This remastered version without the backing track is hands down the best. The test of a really good band is how they perform live, and these guys are phenomenal. Thanks for putting these videos up dude!!

  • It has been a pleasure

  • i've got this dvd great show! if ya look at the opening credits you will see a young sharon osbourne hangin out with the royal family!!!

  • aha - he fluffs the words here! At 0:23 he sings "askin' for a chance to meet" instead of "hopin'...." You can tell it's wrong cos the response (Kelly I presume) is still "hopin'"

  • Just checked that out and ur spot on

  • And is'nt it great he fluffs it? It Shuts up the Lip synch Brigade!

  • here here

  • @ELONut  very true

  • Brilliant. Their greatest moment. Anyone who disagrees should be shackled and pelted with rotten vegetables like they did in my day.

  • I enjoy your channel very much, i saved a few songs from your favorites to my favorites .

  • Jeffs vocals are great, and bens drums are as always excellent. Still, most of this sounds too rushed, maybe because all of them are pressing themselves real hard.

  • fun!!!

  • This is really live. What sound!  I love it. I love to listen to Jeff's voice. Thank you. Great job.

  • ELO was probably the most succesful rock group in 1978. Their Out of the Blue tour lasted about six months, amazing !

  • the 70's the best

  • rock on Jeff

  • definatley their best song

  • God bless you for posting this:)

  • It Rocks!!!!

  • it took me a while to get used to this song now i think its good. jeff sounds good

  • Dear God,The Brazilian media didn't information about Kelly's dead,

    I'm in a state of shock,my God,Kelly was one of my favourite musicians of all, I can't believe that.

    RIP Kelly,

  • Bassist Kelly Groucutt has sadly passed away on the 19th of February 2009, I am sure all ELO fans around the world will join me in condolences to his family and friends.

    RIP Kelly, you will never be forgotten

  • Nice!

  • excellent

  • Great live version, thanks ELONut.

  • this is my all time favorite one from ELO

    thank u for sharing it with youtube :D

  • Obviously, they are playing live here; the other copy of this same show wasn't. My favorite part of the song is when Jeff sings, "No, No, No; too bad he fluffs it here!

  • The greatest commercial single of the 1970's. And anyone who doesn't think so obviously disagrees.

  • Awesome! Thanks for the great share, Tricia.

  • Gee! Where NOW are the ones who were screaming that ELO were lip-synchers? They're awfully silent now, aren't they? This should be required viewing for ANYONE who still (wrongly) believes that ELO were pretentious and fake.

  • @no1elofan guess they've been shut up

  • Thanks! I LOVE THEM!!!!!

  • ELOnut, thanks for all these videos. they're all great :]

  • Hey ELOnut, no "communication breakdown" here, Bro! The magic is clean and hot and it's right here on your site. This remastered treasure is the gold standard for ELO/live on YouTube. My compliments and my thanks!

  • My pleasure

  • yh thanks i love them! elo are great- much much better than most of the "bands" around at the moment!

    i'm 15 and i have a band at school and we're finding that elo songs are actually more popular than modern ones!

    thanks a lot!

  • fantastic(miming my ass)

  • LIVE LIVE LIVE I always knew that miming story was a crock of shit

  • Now thats much better! Nice one ELOnut!

    xx

  • Wow, thanks for uploading! They sound awesome live. Jeff's voice is perfect.

  • Wow thanks for the upload! Do you think you could upload the rest please?

  • Thats my intention I am sure like me you are sick to the back teeth of people slagging off ELO for so called Lip Synching that was my agenda to put the record straight at last

  • Yeah me too. Well it's good to hear that you're uploading the rest - i've been wanting to hear the new audio for a long time, and it's a bit improvement. With the other one it was just like listening to bad quality tracks from the CDs. I only wish they could do something about the stupid effects throughout the performance; most of the time you can't see anything!

  • *big improvement

  • Yeah -  now the sound has been fixed, time to re-do the video! Those transitions and effects might have been all the rage in 1978 but they haven't stood the test of time...

  • Here it is Fluffed lines and all at 0:22 thats how you know this is the real deal

  • Live at last!
