Electric Light Orchestra - 'Don't Bring Me Down' Reaction! Never Let Negativity Get the Best of You

[@redbeardtp]

Evil Woman, Telephone Line, and Strange Magic are three more great ones to start with, but there's plenty more after that. You can't go wrong with anything live from Wembley Stadium.

[@Renkk17]

Great ELO songs to still check out - Sweet Talking Woman - Turn to Stone - Living Thing - Do Ya - Train to London

[@twwtjohns]

Jeff Lynne is such an amazing talent who has written songs for more than 50 different recording artists.

[@gloriagaddy]

"Calling America", "Sweet Talkin Woman", and "Turn to Stone" are all great ELO songs.

[@richardlaroche710]

Yea ... turn to stone

[@sueprator9314]

ELO - has so much to explore. They were great. Brits. This actually isn't my fav of all their works but still good.

[@Kerppu68]

@sueprator9314 I always think that Hold On Tight is an improved version of Don't Bring Me Down

[@bossfan49]

@@Kerppu68 "Hold On Tight" seems to me like a hypothetical Roy Orbison/Beatles collaboration. Don't Bring Me Down, for me, is just way too simplistic and repetitive.

[@deegomez2089]

Telephone Line Sweet Talking Woman Turn to Stone Last Train to London (my fave)...the list goes on and on. Thanks for checking out more ELO 🎶🎵💚

[@melaniebrown4660]

Evil Woman, Sweet Talking Woman, Telephone Line, Strange Magic, Turn To Stone just to name a few!! Every one is spectacular!

[@chrisjenkins6120]

🎼Hard to believe Jeff Lynne is 76 years old now. ELO was a fabulous group of musicians. Time harbors on… Jeff moved on and teamed up with George Harrison, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan and Roy Orbison to form the Traveling Wilburys back in 1988. Give them a good listen. You’ll love them. Legends are hard to beat.🎼☮️

[@cog4life]

Deep rabbit hole!!! Strange Magic, Mr Blue Sky, Telephone Line..,, so many greats!! 😊

[@kierstenridgway4634]

I'm surprised that this is their biggest song. Not my favorite. There are so many good tunes by them. This is good.

[@calvin20877]

It's my favorite jam. They played this at the local skating rink.😂🙌🏾🙌🏻✨️

[@hipsville]

You can't go wrong with ELO. ❤

[@spacefanatic]

Jeff Lynne (who comes from my home City of Birmingham, UK) is a great singer and producer. E.L.O. have loads of great songs and sound just as good live as they do on the studio versions. My favourite song of theirs is 'All Over The World' which is a happy song and there are videos with Flash Mobs dancing to it.

[@thrusta100]

Genius dat man!

[@SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

Jeff Lynne had such a phenomenal voice. When you hear those high harmonies it's just insane

[@chrismccormick6371]

DONT BRING ME DOWN GROOOOOOOOOOOS ❤❤❤❤❤❤. MY FAVORITE 70S BAND ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@workingman6681]

ELO has so many great hits!

[@JeffPhillips-dn2fg]

Do Ya - ELO is another great classic tune from them that charted in the top 15 of the music charts in the late 70s. Love for u to react to it! Great reaction to Don’t Bring Me Down!

[@Jen-in-Texas]

Mr. Blue Sky is a classic - you’ve got to react to it! The instruments are incredible. Jeff Lynn is a genius.

[@loupi4bama]

The LP version, not the chopped up radio version.

[@wadeday9082]

Great songs from this band. My favorite doesn’t get enough attention, and that’s Showdown.

[@wheredidthetimego8087]

The guy with the long beard seems to have the most fun love it!

[@rebeccamicallef-fc1vo]

So true always grooving on ,but the one on the right always looks bored

[@lcjr8758]

Great band, thanks for covering them.

[@supertrexandroidx]

Someone might have pointed it out already, but they do sing "Bruce" now every time they perform this song. Jeff Lynne said that audience members would sing it that way so often that he just decided to go with it, rather than having to always explain what the lyric actually was

[@Isleofskye]

Thanks for this Guys. "E L O-Roll Over Beethoven" LIVE @ Hyde Park in London is fantastic:)

[@hokiedoo]

They have so many hits "Strange Magic" is an incredible song!!!

[@agunslinger9349]

Young guy continues to crack me up. Does he like anything? Completely affectless. Other two... love thier openness to new music.

[@hernanpatrik4908]

Hello . I am from Chile, and here in this country ,Electric Light Orchestra is known.. They have so many hits, like "Stranger","Midnight Blue" "Tightrope""Last train to London""All Over the World" R&R is King" and others. British Band Inducted into Rock Hall Of Fame

[@debbiel.1655]

Evil Woman, Turn To Stone, Telephone Line...Great reaction!!

[@TheValwood]

I'm 64, and assure you that everyone of us singing this in the 70s were singing Bruce...even though it was Groos!

[@MusicLover10538]

ELO is the best band of the seventies MUSICALLY ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@mikehigbee4754]

Great band

[@tommytbone9778]

Funky is right, the beat gives the song its marching orders nd the piano makes certain no ones lagging behind...Yea `79 was when they started headlining stadium festivals of those great days of rock, keep on rockin & giddyup THIS IS IT

[@AP-gb3eh]

In the hard partying 70s this was so much fun, we all knew that girl or guy. The line “I’ll tell you once more before I get off the floor “ hysterical 😂 Not my favorite but Phenomenal. That’s how good they are ,He is ☮️

[@DodgyKiwi]

Mr Blue Sky and Hold on Tight are also fun songs.

[@quintondees4501]

This one is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 these guys were absolutely incredible

[@Renkk17]

Great ELO songs to still check out - Sweet Talking Woman - Turn to Stone - Telephone line - Living Thing - Do Ya - Train to London - Strange Magic

[@tcoop1339]

I could hang with you guys listening to tunes, having a cold brew, grilling some dead animals!! Love ya'lls channel!!

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

Since you guys like videos of songs, you should react to an awesome fan-made video where they edited together a bunch of clips from flash mobs all over the world and used the ELO hit song, *"All Over The World",* dubbed over it! You'll love the song & the video! (It's one of the happiest songs ever!)

[@rachels.8673]

The song was featured in the movie Donnie Brasco (1997) in the disco nightclub scene.

[@TracyVoD]

Another great video and reaction from you guys. ELO is one of my favorite bands and this is one of my favorite songs. I don't think I've ever heard an ELO song that I didn't like but other faves include: Mr Blue Sky, Evil Woman, Showdown, Turn to Stone, Last train to London, Roll over Beethoven, Livin Thing, Shine a little love, Sweet Talking Woman, Strange Magic and Rockaria.

[@christarpley6861]

Evil Woman and Sweet Talkin Woman plus this song are my favorites

[@thebibble4553]

Im so dead 😂 " it's from a apple bees commercial yo"😭

[@DanielRyan-t6w]

Jeff was also a member of The Traveling Wilburys with Dylan Petty Roy Orbison and George Harrison he also worked with the Beatles

[@NancyMoran-r3b]

MR. BLUE SKY Is the most excellent.❤

[@Another_User_Name_]

Great song and great review. ELO had a couple of really big hits back in the day, and this was definitely one of them.

[@t0dd000]

Biggest charting? Maybe at the time. I think others songs of theirs have surpassed this over time. _Telephone Line_ in particular. _Don't Bring Me Down_ though ... it was ready made for the radio.

[@whoneedssantawhenthereisgr1724]

I had forgotten about this song good to hear it again. I remember dancing in the 70’s.

[@alceraulo8434]

Truly liked your reactions to most everything you throw out there. Great diversity out of you three. Love the agreements and the disagreements. You’re on the top of my list of reactors. All the best to you guys. Do some more Fleetwood Mac. It’s an amazing band.

[@markstanton2362]

Last Train to London has a great groove.

[@alexisr5199]

Fav band. "Telephone Line" think vid live from 2019. Spectacular. 😁🎆🎶

Ole ELO!

[@lyndonlouie4108]

Great. Love ELO and this song is just one my all time favorites from any band.

[@coinneachmaclellan3121]

It's great to see Kelly Groucutt in there playing bass and sharing vocals with Lynne...there are some videos on KZbin of ELO on tour where he's playing bass and singing the operatic parts of "Rockaria" which is my favourite ELO song...

[@joyceharkin3641]

ELO's Mr Blue Sky is a great track and was used in Guardians of the Galaxy. I think you would love it!

[@AussieTVMusic]

Very Disco

[@penname5766]

Telephone Line - the same performance at Wembley as the video of Livin’ Thing that you reacted to.

[@trudydavidson528]

Not sure if you guys have heard ELO's song "Showdown" yet,... if not, you gotta!!! It's my fave!!!!

[@leeyaferguson9019]

ELO!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@RayfordRaySiegel]

That's a slightly different recording than I'm used to hearing. Ollie and Fenom taught me something new, about the song that I never knew. I always thought they were saying "Bruce" and now I know what they're actually saying, what it means, and why it's in there.

[@jlp925]

Hi guys, I'm surprised, going through the 70's songs you reached to, that you haven't posted the song Black Betty by Ram Jam, go for it!

[@jenniferpickering7808]

You better check on buddy on the right (with the hoodie), he has been sneezing through the whole reaction, hope he is OK . good reaction😉

[@kaychristensen4394]

Have had this LP since '79. Enjoy! 😎

[@edwardcapobianco2975]

Oh man you guys got yourself a huge band with a big big catalog.. fire 🔥 🔥

[@DJBilodeau]

One of John Lennon's favorites in the 1970's after the breakup of the Beatles ("I love that ELO, man!), this track, to me, sounds like a Beatles track. It's got that vibe. Jeff Lynn, the lead singer of the group would later join with George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, and Jim Keltner (drummer on a lot of John Lennon's solo albums) to form the supergroup "The Travelling Wilburies". Jeff Lynn also worked as the producer with the three remaining former Beatles in 1995 for the Beatles Anthology project, producing from Lennon demos the new Beatles songs "Free As A Bird" and "Real Love.". They were working on "Now and Then" in those sessions, but the technology at the time did not allow them to finish that song, as Lennon's demo was recorded on a cassette tape and had a lot of condenser microphone hum and piano. Was not until Peter Jackson in the "Get Back" series that AI technology allowed the elimination of the hum and the removal of the piano Lennon was playing just to isolate his vocals that the song was allowed to be completed in November '23. It's all a long way of saying that ELO was definitely in the Beatles musical orbit. Lennon in the '70's nicknamed them, "Sons of the Beatles."

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

Please spell his name correctly, it's disrespectful not to.

Shine a little love and last train to London are also on this album and are funky as fxck!! Keep your great reactions coming guys, peace and love from the 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸

[@billsimonis]

I also like the song Do Ya....originally recorded by The Move before changing their name to ELO. Jeff Lynne also a member of the Travelling Wilburys Jeff said he didn't know the word Grouse was a german word until later. Also Rocking Roll Is King is another great song. (IMO)

[@carlajimenez5483]

Try Telephone Wire or Evil Woman live at Wembley

[@tomswanson7446]

Dudes ELO "Sweet talking woman" That's how I met my wife. She's a sweet talker

[@johanna0131]

I agree with others, check out Telephone Line, Strange Magic, and Evil Woman.

[@TheDivayenta]

ELO was friends of and greatly inspired by the Beatles. This song is similar to an old Beatles’ tune worth checking out- You Can’t Do That. ❤

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

Yes, Diva, if you've not heard ELO's song, "Mister Kingdom", check it out, I'm certain you'll immediately recognize The Beatles classic which inspired it.

[@Rayray-kj9cc]

This reminds of the skating rink in the late 70s!! Great memories!!

[@louvuttion]

There’s so many songs you should check out, but you should absolutely check out telephone line and last train to London

[@chuckhutton5087]

New subscriber, love the reaction to ELO !! Please consider reacting to “ Fire on High” from the ELO album “ Face the Music”. You’ll be blown away!!!

Um, Jeff is still very much alive, I don’t know where you got your information from but he’s still on planet earth
