The Orchestra - Fire On High (Remixed) - York 2008

This was a great surprise on the night - my favourite instrumental from the early ELO years. Fire On High from Face The Music. It was announced that a couple of instrumentals had been slipped in to give the guys voices a rest. Didn't give Gordon's drumming arms or Mik's fiddling arm a rest though ! :O) Great stuff.

Who is the guy pretending to be Jeff Lyne?

[Spratley116]

@kingofallwhites Phil Bates is an exceptional musician in his own right and has been with ELO Part II and The Orchestra since 1993. He's certainly not "pretending" to be anyone.

bRRR what a supid and bad cover again!

THE FIRE is not on high, it's on earn money by copying.

endlosung herr von arsch!

[Spratley116]

It's certainly no 'cover' as you call it. When it's the original band members playing, how can it be a cover ?

As for 'bad', I think you may need your hearing checked.

only full video i've seen and it's not even the original ELO themselves. These guys sound good.

[Spratley116]

There's plenty of the original line-up in The Orchestra. Kelly Groucutt (1975-), Mik Kaminski (1973-) and Louis Clark (1974-) then the rest of the guys are from ELO Part II, originally started by Bev Bevan. You're right though, they DO sound good. To be honest, the video I took doesn't do them justice. Seeing them live is a great experience.

Half? come on! Kaminski and Groucutt hardly make half of ELO! and considering Clark only arranged strings on the studio albums, as for sounding better live well thats a matter of opinion! but I will say this they are hard working musicians who have kept the flame and spirit of ELO alive, whilst Uncle Jeff Would rather sun his arse in California

I'm no expert on the history of ELO band members but the no debating this is significantly slower than the original, thus making it significantly less energetic. When I saw the video I was significantly unimpressed compared to the recording. When my band DEJA plays this it will be significantly better! check out our youtube channel DEJAband
