Jeff Lynne's ELO Roll Over Beethoven

[@rogercarter9667]

Man got some REAL guitar skills

[@torch8922]

Saw Jeff Lynne and ELO in Sacramento, before Covid hit. Awesome show then and anticipating another great show, this coming October (in Sac, again)! Bought my tickets, last week!

[@fabfour7397]

It's already sold out in many venues like Madison Square Garden. I feel lucky to have been able to get great tickets in presale.

A Chuck Berry classic played by the legendary musical genius Jeff Lynne. The Beatles also had an excellent version. Nice to see the younger folks appreciate great music (with melodies).

[@TheWerequat]

ELO was doing this one early on...always fun to hear

[@MHB48615]

I love them all, but Jeff Lynne’s O version of ‘ Roll Over Beethoven’ is my favorite. Especially seeing vids He played it at his RRHOF induction, all while giving tribute to Beethoven AND Chuck Berry. It’s his as far as I’m concerned.

Back in 1969, I went to see Chuck Berry. He was Amazing!! I was in college at the time. He was.so cool, I got up on stage and danced with him. So many people came up to me and said" Hey you were the chick that got up on stage & danced with Chuck Berry" The cops threw me out but I got back in & danced some more. Those were the Hippie Days. I had a great time.

[@MusicLover10538]

Some facts about Jeff Lynne (ELO)...First, he is a very humble man, simply because this Music Genius is not interested in fame, the limelight, and money, he just loves to create great music. Jeff Lynne is one of the most versatile musicians ever, this is why he is considered by his peers to be among the greatest. He didn't stick to one style of music because, after decades, it gets boring. Jeff has done progressive Rock, Symphonic Rock - Pop, New wave, and Disco. Everything he does turns to gold. He even flirted with Country music. 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... 51 years later they still play in sold-out Arenas, festivals and Stadiums. During Jeff Lynne's ELO 2019 Tour, many reviews agreed in saying they are the best live Classic Rock Band in the world still touring and Jeff Lynne is a Music Genius( From Forbes Magazine and the Washington Post). ELO is 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 Songwriter award ( ASCAP ) in 2019 for his fantastic contribution over the years. In October of 2020, Jeff Lynne has been made an officer of The Order Of The British Empire for his extraordinary contribution to music. He previously has received three Ivor Novello Awards, which celebrate songwriters and composers, including the award for outstanding services to British music. 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, Ringo Starr, Bryan Adams, Aerosmith, Del Shannon, the Everly Brothers, The Beatles, and so many others...

[@paulbrut]

Just read this, and agreed I'm late to the game. Most of this is fair enough, and some bits are........ not correct. And that is the Hit songs part.Now I do not deny Jeff Lynne is an exceptional musician and writer, and I love ELO, the thing is as a producer he obviously would suggest ideas to other artists, so its more of a contribution really, that does not mean he wrote songs for other artists completely, as it appears in your summation, for ELO yes he wrote them all, and the band had input in the arrangements obviously.

[@timwingham8952]

Wonderful stuff. Great keyboard skills as ever by Richard Tandy. I do hope Jeff sometimes remembers Bev Kelly (RIP) Mik Hugh (RIP) and Mel, and those that came before and after that fabulous "classic" line up.
