Electric Light Orchestra Evil Woman Live REACTION

[@willardharris8152]

Have you ever seen such a happy group? Crowd, musicians, singers are all having a ball, and it was on my birthday. 😭 Wish I could have been there.

[@kerrijohnson2303]

What’s so awesome is the audience is full of people my parents ages (69/70ish) cuz this is their era. But I grew up loving it because of my parents so I would have jumped at the chance to be there!

[@kimmarievan-ever6599]

Oh my days..how utterly BRILLIANT is this..Jeff Lynne is so underrated..so many people still do not realise how epic his songwriting and vocals are..not just for ELO but other artists and if course The Travelling Willberrys.. yrs ago in the 70's my friends brother was a carpenter in Worcester..(West Midlands, Uk).. he was contracted to help build a house for Lynne and his family..we were invited to a massive party he threw for ALL those that worked on his house and their families.. I actually met him..and he is sooo down to earth..no airs and graces.. a quietly spoken man and a good sense of humour. .I was already a fan of his music so for me I actually got to meet my idol and I was not dissappinted.. he mingled with everyone ! Didn't hide away and was a fantastic host. Obviously he now lives in LA.. but I'd love to have been at this concert..I think they could do a world tour and still sell out twice over.. Evil Woman is one of my favourite..great lyrics..i doubt he's ever written a bad song..some say Diary of Horace Wimp is poor but listen to it..its very very cleverly written.. he still has his voice because he hasn't toured and used it to death so its exactly the same..being able to reach those high notes..and it IS him singing those as recognise the Midlands accent which he still has bless him.. love his music..why he is not knighted amazes me..much better than the likes of Jagger ..just wanted to say what a nice guy he is..I saw the documentary about doing these concerts after so long away..he was nervous wondering if the tickets would sell😄😆.. but still quietly spoken. .a very private man with an amazing talent.. oh and typical Jeff Lynne NOT blocking the video from being seen..🇬🇧💞🐾🙏👏👏👏👏👏

[@nataliebriant3947]

How anyone could say the diary of Horace wimp is poor is beyond me 😲

[@kimmarievan-ever6599]

@@nataliebriant3947 I know but I remember when it was a hit some dj's were saying its a weak lyric but its just so cleverly written..not just the lyrics but the movement of them throughout is brilliant .. obviously I'm biased as I'm a fan ..honestly dont think he's ever written or sang a bad song..love handle with care by the travellung Wilburys too

[@rmf9522]

Seeing Jeff Lynne's ELO live is exactly this kind of experience. The visuals are fantastic, and the music is out of this world! An all-out experience for the senses. I hope that I have the opportunity to see them again. 💕

[@Jabberwalky42]

He was really good!

[@tberreth33]

Saw them, row 6 in Portland, just before the pandemic. It was absolutely AMAZING! Thanks for doing a reaction on this!!!!

[@uthtown]

One of the few artists who is over 60 that still sounds great. Amazing concert

[@chronomatt6990]

One of the world’s coolest senior citizens. ;) Good to see you reacting to ELO again.

[@Cynthia...]

You’re on a roll tonight another great band that have so many great songs.

[@beverlychampion8671]

From your 62 yr old grandma in Alabama! Sitting on back porch and foot start tapping right away! I love that a good young man like you appreciates OUR music! I’ve recommended you to everyone I know!!!! .. God bless you ! 💕Love from Beverly 💕🙏

[@kellyjimenez8984]

Jeff Lynne didn't do anything halfed ass when it came to his music, and THANK GOD. He is an amazing songwriter, composer and great singer. The way he uses others and their talents is just brilliant. 🙋‍♀️🎼🎤💯❤❤

[@willardharris8152]

He's so humble, too. Beyond impressive.

[@PaulOutdoors]

The master at work. Jeff is in his 70s here. Thank you for reacting to a phenomenal live performance from my favourite band of some 50 years standing. Please give E.L.O's "Tightrope" a listen. It will blow your socks off. 👍😊

[@anonymouslyanonymous4673]

I saw jeff in Leeds a couple years ago and his voice is just sublime. He sounds exactly like the records

[@lilyraiyne9225]

Oooo those vocals are sweet!!! Great energy seeing so many people. Music truly bring all together!!

[@nataliebriant3947]

Last train to London my ALL TIME favourite ELO song! Hurry JV! Do it soon! Xx

[@kayserchishti7303]

i saw this live, wembley 2017 june, historic, the mobile phone lights at night all on, like another universe, JEFF LYNNE ELO my fav 70s band

[@suzielynne9421]

I watched ELO live and it was fantastic ❤️ every thing and more... 🇬🇧

[@katedaly4039]

I was there, ten rows from the front. I'm in the dvd too. Best concert ever! Now please check out Ticket to the Moon, or another ballad like Midnight Blue or for the incredible vocals Don't Walk Away x

[@kathryntreadway6647]

Thanks, keep them coming. He will never disappoint!!! I had the honor of seeing them in 2019, best birthday ever!

[@JonS0107]

I went to my first ELO concert in November 1974. It was a 8,000 person indoor arena (large for that time) and they were the first group to my knowledge featuring a laser light show.

[@gloriaandrea2539]

Jeff Lynne is a genius! Awesome band! Thank you❤️

[@jackie_jrml]

Evil Woman, Sweet Talking Woman and Strange Magic are my faves!!!

[@mariefc8504]

I saw ELO in the 70's. Such a fun concert!

[@rosem2896]

I was a evil woman back in the day lol🌹♥️💃

[@jennhurl]

I love that ELO's album is always right over your shoulder. You've had love for Jeff Lynne since your very first ELO song. It's what makes you among the very best reactors - picking out all the things that make a song great & knowing great music when you hear it.

[@iainweller452]

A brilliant live performance from a wonderful band

[@joelschwartz8321]

Jeff Lynne is the man...music still holds up today.

[@selwynchin7396]

Truly a performance that is so epic, there is no word to describe it. Speechless from the point that i was in ecstacy just moving and grooving to the words and the music

[@User_gin_aikensc_92753]

Wow JV ! I've never heard this LIVE ! Thanks so much for doing this version.✌👍

[@ilovenyc72]

I saw ELO about 4 years ago and they were absolutely amazing. Every song was banging.

[@Dianne-g2k]

So glad you played it.I miss this group. Thankyou for playing them ❤

[@mezellenjohnson2753]

I remember when this first came out on the radio, they sound great still. I love your reactions to this wonderful song and the band, songs from my younger days. The singing is great and the music is fantastic, what a group!! You're right, this is epic, live music that's sounds like the recording, that's real singers and musicians for you. Thank you sweetheart for giving me the opportunity to listen to music I haven't heard for years. Take care and stay safe please my friends God bless you all love hugs and peace Mary-Ellen UK

[@hibhibb5429]

Jeff Lynne is such a Legend!!! Love him!!

[@robynanthony1612]

This sounds so good, I miss going to concerts.

[@carolespinoza8469]

Jay,. E l o. Is such a great band. 🎸🎸🥁🥁. Jay so many 70 & 80 s. Band are my age. I'm. 72. This is why so many musicians are passing away... Oh. Hell. I'm old to.😜😜😜😜

[@2715bunky]

This was a Saturday night cruising song from my youth!

[@surlechapeau]

J, you are overdue for ELO's "Do Ya", a Banger!!!

[@deborahdennehy9937]

Having seeing Jeff Lynne since I was in my late a teens (I'm in my early 60's now) he is STILL incredible!!. The pianist, orchestra, guitarists, drummer & singers amazing too!!! xx

[@robblanco417]

People are up & dancing, rocking because...ELO came out with this song when these people were young rockers. So was I. So, this is a "Blast from the Past" time! Awesome, tight, group! Incredible era then & still rolling now!

[@Lucy-q7q5m]

What a band .. epic musicians, love them .

[@lilpoohbear653]

...chills... the end, LOL Such a fun song and so great watching people just havin fun

[@theresenydahl9531]

This one still give me chills. And I miss those big arena performances.

[@kimzwolinski9919]

Jeff's voice is flawless ❤

[@195511SM]

I was a big ELO fan when I first heard them in the 70s. Then....sometime in the mid to late 1980s...I was at a slot tournament in Reno. I saw an ad for ELO Part 2 on the wall of the parking garage...& assumed it was just a tribute band. I think I paid $27 for a ticket ( this included 2 FREE drinks...)....& it was the original group WITHOUT Jeff. They played everything & sounded great. I didn't know who Jeff was. I don't think I knew any of the original members back then.

[@jtownley-jones4691]

I saw them in the 90s ,without Jeff also..They were great,but i missed Jeff being out front

[@fancyhat6505]

I WAS THERE IM 24 AND FEOM SOUTH OF ENGLAND AND ME AND MY MATES GOT TICKETS. I CANT DESCRIBE THE FEELING IN THE AIR, IT WAS ELECTRIC, IF YOULL PARDEN THE PUN. All ages, all creed and colours, everyone joined in their love for this fucking kick ass band. He was 70 years old here and better than I ever imagined they would be!!

[@ritchiec6317]

When my daughter gave me tickets for the Houston Texas show for my Birthday I was ABSOLUTELY THRILLED. AND WHAT A GREAT SHOW IT WAS. LOVE YOU ANGEL FOREVER. Checkout Midnight Blue!

[@user-DJDreamworld]

Love this group

[@keithkarbel2000]

Hearing a live act that sounds as good as the studio performance is UNBELIEVABLE

[@nicoleg.1223]

ELO Can't get it out of my head, always loved that song !

[@debbiechang5781]

I saw many live shows over the years but, unfortunately, never had the pleasure of seeing these guys. Thank goodness for video! 🌺✌️

[@helensmith7039]

I saw him live few years ago im 35 but grew up with ELO it was an amazing concert

[@musicismedicine8274]

I love that of all the albums you change around on your back wall, ELO remains.

[@Russ-gy7tx]

I saw ELO in 1979 at Anaheim Stadium, They'd opened up with a flying saucer flying into the Stadium from over the Santa Ana Freeway, Spectecular! I'd suggest to react to "Mr. Kingdom" "10538 Overture" from 1971.

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

Russ, I sponsored as a Patreon, "Mister Kingdom", as well as 35 other ELO tracks over at HarriBest Reactions--check 'em out. (And, "10538 Overture", is coming soon.)

[@bellanewfie]

ELO one of my favorite bands of my childhood in a land far, far away....

[@jimholt3497]

I watched the entire concert on Showtime…it was bad ass! Like you, I hoping ELO goes on tour again…I will be there!!

[@bigsteve9279]

Recently? I hope so! I’ve got Showtime

[@pamchilton8129]

One of my favs by ELO. It definitely goes into the 80s music time capsule!

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

Hi Pam, small correction. "Evil Woman", came out in '75.

[@Divedown_25]

Can’t go wrong with ELO Jovaughn, can’t go wrong 💥🔥

[@drohegda]

Jayvee The energy of this song is bowling me over all the way out in cyber space 😁 Thanks for this Fabulous hit i hadn't heard this myself in a long time, Thank You. 🎸🎹😎🎼👍

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

Jayvee, for a studio track from ELO, you've gotta react to their 1975 classic, *"Tightrope".* Every reactor who's done it has been blown away. And for another live performance from ELO, *"Livin' Thing"* from this same Wembley 2017 concert is even *more epic* than, "Evil Woman"! Your last ELO reaction before this one yesterday was *a year and a half ago!* :( Please don't wait so long this time to revisit them! :D Thanks!!

[@martindavis4632]

It’s great to see all age groups enjoying what I grew up with. Well done jay

[@jfalan]

Jeff Lynn is incredible.ELO best band I’ve seen live

[@johnpetrone6602]

Briliant!

[@edwardcapobianco2975]

I love your channel bro. ELO is an experience like no other. I saw them at Carnegie Hall with The NY Philharmonic. It was beyond words and the sound was just incredible. I have to say your reactions are exactly what the artists had in mind when making the song. You definitely get it and you are fully tuned in with the best music ever made, especially the 60s and 70s. It amuses me cause the reaction you have to many songs are EXACTLY the same reaction I had many,many years ago. You got an old soul brother and to this day when I hear Teddy Pendergrass I still think of how blown away you were to the power of Teddy P. vocals!! Keep it coming and keep up the good work! I look forward to your reactions every day!! You're a smart man who actually understands and gets it cause I have to say anyone growing up these days is being cheated when it comes to music. The quality and quantity of the music out on the airwaves in the 60s and 70s was beyond compare. Nothing can touch those 2 decades from the rock,soul , R and B ,progressive, disco and even the pop top 40 stuff. It was all great!!! The stuff they call music these days is absolute shit, its garbage ,lyrically and musically bankrupt! It totally lacks the feel,groove,soul, vocal strength,harmonies and musical prowess of what I grew up with. There are pockets of great lyricists,musicians and singers today but it doesn't scratch the surface of the depth we had in the 60s and 70s..You also won't find much of it on the radio, you are only permitted to hear what the program directors and record companies want you to hear. Jeff Lynne is in his 70s and still packs stadiums and sounds fantastic!!!

[@NCgirl13]

One of my favorites. Don’t bring me down is my all time favorite!

[@martindavis4632]

If you listened to studio then live you will notice Jeff dose the same word for word live and studio and with a full orchestra live. It’s a specticalnto behold and the sound is wow.

[@lesleywarnock228]

Great song! Gets you groovin & singing along everytime you hear it!

[@paularobertsofficial]

The 70s produced a huge portion of the greatest music and musicians the world has ever seen . It was an incredible era. x

[@ginacurcio3107]

Brilliant!! My other favorite from ELO is "Living Thing"

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

"Livin' Thing" from this Wembley 2017 concert is even more epic than, "Evil Woman"!

[@ginacurcio3107]

@@Cosmo-Kramer I will have to check it out!!!

[@PhoenixRisen63]

It's always a good time for some ELO. There's something about live music, and the energy of hundreds or thousands of people being completely lost to it while the band is playing. To me, that's FANTASTIC.

[@flash1660]

Have you heard tightrope yet ! It is EPIC

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

He has not, I've been requesting it for a year and a half. Not sure how it's not made it onto his list.

[@derekhorlock1976]

This song came out 50 years ago this year, I believe! Remember it well, I'm 65 and some members of the band weren't alive when it first released 😅🎉😊

[@rklrkl64]

You can never go wrong with classic ELO tracks like this one. My favourite ELO track is "All Over The World" from the Xanadu movie soundtrack (love the movie title track too, though that's Olivia Newton John on lead vocals of course).

[@dagmar.6954]

Love this group. ELO had their biggest hits in the 70's-80's & mixed modern rock pop songs with classical overtones. Jeff Lynne wrote most of their songs. They had a lot of great hits such as "Roll Over Beethoven", "Showdown", "Can't Get It Out Of My Head", "Strange Magic", "Livin' Thing", "Telephone Line", "Rockaria!", "Do Ya", "Turn to Stone", "Sweet Talkin' Woman", "Mr. Blue Sky", "Wild West Hero", "Don't Bring Me Down", "Shine A Little Love", "Last Train To London", "Confusion", "Hold On Tight", "Twilight", "The Way Life's Meant To Be", "Here Is The News", "Ticket To The Moon" etc.

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

Jeff didn't write most of their songs--he wrote *all* of their songs. Don't sell the man short.

[@gperch]

I was shocked to read that some people think "The Diary of Horace Wimp" is "poor" - wow! It's a great love / life story told in just a few lines, which is particularly emotional if you can relate to Horace. Another gorgeous track to check out is "Wild West Hero". Looks like you haven't reacted to "Hold on tight" or "Calling America" either! Those are the only ones I can think of that you haven't already covered - and really should. Great live performance - spot on. I was only able to afford to see a cover band, but they were amazing. I guess they'd been touring for decades in ELO's absence, so had plenty of time to perfect their act.

[@knightdragon5640]

You had already reacted to this ELO song 3 years ago, but it was just the record version. This was the live performance which was far more exciting. Hard to sit still and not want to sing along. Wish I'd been there! ❤❤❤

[@maureenormston1687]

I’ve never seen them live but listened to their live concert on Radio 2 (UK) a while ago and they were off the scale. They replicate the album sound to the letter, just superb.

[@jeanearle2350]

lol I have to say, it hurts to see the audience, it reminds me of how old I am now. A fantastic band, Last Train to London was always my favorite but this one still gets me up and dancing

[@AndieZ4U2]

I'd love to see them in concert.

[@jehosephine]

When you perform at Wembley, you've made it!

[@robertpayne6847]

Jeff is 74 yrs old at present in 2022! His Birthday is 30th December.

[@markharris1125]

Had a ticket to see JL'sELO at the O2 in 2020, was so excited, as I'd never seen them live, and I fancy the lady backing singer like mad (Melanie Lewis-McDonald. Be still my heart) - then along came the lockdowns and the cancellation, and who knows if I'll ever get to see them now? But yes, you do need to watch every song from this concert, and buy the live album too. Anything to persuade Jeff to get the gang back together.

[@carollittle1059]

They are the best!!

Just fab sounds sooo good live 😋

[@marcieharreld286]

"Mr. Blue Sky" by ELO!!!🙏🙏🙏🎶🎼🎵🎧🎹🎙🥁🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@carobates3312]

Tightrope was an album track, never released as a single. Fantastic track that has everyone up on their feet at concerts. If you like the slower songs, Can't get it out of my head is another fab song

[@dhekelia133]

Tightrope, along with Dreaming of 4000 are my favourite tracks by them.

[@chronomatt6990]

There are several ELO charting radio hits to go beyond Last Train To London, but may I suggest fan favorite album cuts you’d love?: Standing In The Rain, Tightrope, and Wild West Hero. There would be no regrets giving them time.

[@nicolespiteri6273]

Amazing band to watch live. Have seen them 5 times and they never disappoint. I luv all of their songs. Jeff Lynne went on to work with the Traveling Wilburies {hope that is spelled correctly} Check it out. Just the best!!!
