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