From 1976 to this day ELO (Jeff Lynne) has been the best live band i have ever seen and i have seen lots and lots of concerts from legendary bands. I saw ELO in 1976, 1978, 1981, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. I feel very fortunate.

TIME FOR THE ROCK HALL OF FAME TO INDUCT JEFF LYNNE AS A SOLO ARTIST. The great Jeff Lynne latest album From Out Of Nowhere was no.1 in the UK on November 2019. Jeff Lynne's ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA is still Touring! From 1972 to 1986 (DURING 14 YEARS) Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra has had more top 40 hits than any other group in the world. 50 years later they still play in sold-out Arenas and Stadiums. I last saw them again in the Summer of 2019 on the North American Tour...( Best Concert of my life) All the reviews agree they are the best live act in the world and Jeff Lynne is a Music Genius. They are in the Rock Hall of Fame. Lynne is on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and Birmingham Walk OF Fame. Jeff Lynne’s ELO won the Best Classic Rock Band plus Lynne won the best Song Writer award ( ASCAP ) 2019 for his fantastic contribution over the years. Jeff Lynne is now an Officer Of The British Empire (OBE) for his incredible contribution in the music industry. He created the best Super Group of all time with his best friend George Harrison, The Traveling Wilburys. The Legends in the Music Industry call Jeff Lynne the best overall Musician ever and a Producer Extraordinaire. Jeff Lynne has written and produced many hit songs for music legends like George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Joe Walsh, Brian Wilson, Paul McCartney, Bryan Adams, Aerosmith, Del Shannon, the Everly Brothers, and so many others...

This performance of Roll Over Beethoven is one of the best ever at the RRHOF. Jeff keep on Touring and making records.

[@fabfour7397]

Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra from The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame site: "Picking up where the Beatles left off, ELO expanded the concept of great melodies, epic song structures and grand orchestrations. ELO added an exciting mix of elements into rock and roll, including disco rhythms and electronic studio wizardry. Imagine a marriage of tuneful, rocking pop songs with instruments from the symphonic realm, and you’ve got the blueprint for what made ELO one of the most popular groups of the 1970s and beyond. Jeff Lynne, ELO’s vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, co-founder, and frontman, conceived of a rarefied musical sphere in which cellos coexisted with guitars, and where classically tinged progressive rock intersected with hook-filled, radio-friendly pop. The result: ELO’s boundary-breaking approach to rock that resonated with a global audience, both as a pop singles act and as album-oriented rockers with deep-track appeal".

[@vicicarlton5100]

This is the 1st tune I ever heard by Jeff and ELO, '73 on the Midnight Special...loved them ever since, they rock this tune....Richard is hot on the keys...grew up with Chuck Berry's music but I like this way, way better...and this honor was way over due !!!!

[@danieldaniels7571]

vici carlton first one I ever heard as a little kid with my own transistor radio back when it came out. My grandmother used to take me to the record store almost every weekend to get a new 45 and this was one of my first. I’ve been a huge ELO/Jeff Lynne fan ever since.

[@tedpetry2028]

ELO made an arena or venue sound like it was a full orchestra out there. Music was fun and fabulous. They made music entertaining to enjoy, incorporating Classical music with Rock. Who else did that? Totally wonderful band, and Jeff Lynn was always on the leading edge. Music for all venues, and I never heard a bad word about them. Totally entertaining group of musicians..

ELO added an exciting mix of elements into rock and roll, including disco rhythms and electronic studio wizardry. Imagine a marriage of tuneful, rocking pop songs with instruments from the symphonic realm, and you’ve got the blueprint for what made ELO one of the most popular groups of the 1970s and beyond. Jeff Lynne, ELO’s vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, co-founder, and frontman, conceived of a rarefied musical sphere in which cellos coexisted with guitars, and where classically tinged progressive rock intersected with hook-filled, radio-friendly pop. The result: ELO’s boundary-breaking approach to rock that resonated with a global audience, both as a pop singles act and as album-oriented rockers with deep-track appeal".
