My wife and I were at the show. Absolutely amazing! Nobody wanted to sit down. Lots of people singing and dancing. Maybe the best “feel good” concert ever. I’ve been a fan since the late 70s, but had never attended a show. So glad we went.

[@StolichnayaCzara]

If you ask me... ELO is one of the most under rated bands to come out of the 70's. I was just a child when this song came out and I, along with my younger sister, fell in love with this song. Jeff Lynne is a musical genius and deserves far more recognition than he has received. Anything ELO did prior to this song was gold as well.

[@kenperk9854]

The Seventies were so jammed by greatness that a few had to sit on the bench to wait their turn. However, ELO wasn't one of the bench sitters!

[@tennesseeridgerunner5992]

This song reminds me of ridin' my bike thru my subdivision with my transistor radio danglin' from my handlebars in the Summer of '79. Oh what happened? How I wish 1979 could have frozen. This song was massive...then ELO released "Don't Bring Me Down" later that summer and it EXPLODED.

I was very lucky to have met Jeff and the rest of the group like Bev Bevin. I got to know Jeff pretty well when they would come to town. He showed me the set up of the instruments and even offered me and my cousin a ride home in his limo. I met them three times and he was a true gentleman every time we met. I will always remember those wonderful times. I was very fortunate and have watched him as an ardent fan and friend .

I was at their concert in Houston on 8-9-18.....I drove from Tampa FL....OVER 1000 MILES EACH WAY they were UNBELIEVABLE!! That was the closest show to my home. My 25 yr old son paid for everything, hotel, tickets, and the rest....he said that he wanted to thank me for introducing him to ELO, and all of the other great music of the day! The last time that ELO was in America, was 12 years before he was even born. I was able to cross this off of my bucket list. It was so WONDERFUL to share that awesome experience with him! It was a better show than I could have ever hoped it would be.

I think The Beatles, The Stones, and King Crimson, who i loved, along with ELP and others were way up high on that mountain of talent, and ELO came along and climbed over all of them to reach the top. I might be the only one with this opinion, but so what. Ill be unique.😊

[@keithbassett4988]

I'm with you, brother. I like the Stones and the Beatles. IMO, the Beatles' solo efforts were way better than their collaborations. But ELO is on a completely other level of talent, ingenuity, and inspiration. No one can resist tapping their feet to Mr. Blue Sky. It's infectious because it is good, and ELO's music speaks to us, inspires, and moves us. Where there is ELO.....there is a world of hope and wonder waiting for us.

[@kenperk9854]

Tom and the Heartbreakers were very similar in that aspect. And I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I had rather them loiter than prance around like girls on the stage. But Stanley had been with them for a long time and even Tom said he kept the band loose. I just noticed Stan has died recently. He was 65. Ugh, I'm 62. I know that dirty bastard with the pitchfork is hiding behind a tree, coming up with a plan of action, just for me.

[@joer2513]

When you actually look, on paper, at Jeff Lynne as a musician, in terms of a composter, the number of songs, the multiple arrays of instruments, production in his own music and others such as Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, George Harrison, The Beatles and more, most people don't realize that Jeff Lynne is perhaps the greatest musical export that Great Britain had produced. He's not my favourite artist by far, I love ELO they're definitely in my top 10, but man he has some SERIOUS talent that most people, I think even fans overlook.

[@fabfour7397]

Very well said! 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.

Esta noche de rock and roll

[@joesuarez3695]

Feeling depressed? Play this song! With a mixture of lyrics and instruments you'll be feeling good in no time. I was 10 and it brings back some great memories. 😀Long live the U.K. Shouts out from Salinas, Callifornia.

[@Dina6279]

+Todd Wacha 14 people have no soul...pity them!!

[@russg1801]

I don't hate it; it's just not up to the level of Face the Music, A New World Record, or Out of the Blue. The melody is the same dozens of disco-era tunes that were churned out by formula producers employing studio musicians and vocalists and packaged under various pseudonyms. While some disco material is classic, there was an awful lot of mere "product" to satisfy the needs of club DJ's, most of which never got radio airplay.

[@kristiselby589]

It's very sad!!!! How can you not Absolutely fall in love with this song this band and Jeff😍😍😍💜🎶🎵

[@neilmadeley3889]

I remember the Hot Air balloon they used to promote the album!

[@robmcgowan4034]

I sooo love the "cascading downward" keyboard effect ushering the song in, and even more at the end! Any other ELO fans agree with me?! :-)

[@centellas07]

¡AHHH!!!!.... ¡Adoro esta canción!!!....en el año 1,979, yo tenia tan solo 12 años de edad y disfrutaba enormemente cuando escuchaba esta canción!!!!..Desde los 10 años de edad que soy fanática de ELO y doy miles de gracias a la vida y a Dios, por haber crecido escuchando, día a día, a estos genios del rock de los 70's!!!!.....Saludos a todos desde Lima-Perú!!!!

[@lucyfer4420]

+centellas07 La misma edad! Yo tambien me alegro de haber vivido esos años y tener en mi cajon de recuerdos canciones como esta. Me encanta E.L.O., el soundtrack de XANADU es el soundtrack mas sub estimado en la historia de la musica pop....

[@nadeydaquiroz4051]

Holaaa a mí también me encanta ELO, y muchas maravillosas canciones de los 70s.

[@carlosalbertomamanihuaman1001]

That little transistion from the verse to the chorus is hair raising!

[@jamesgoodman9390]

Listening and growing up in 70's was awesome. Wouldnt trade it for the 🌎

[@fantom7170ya]

they totally did shined some love on us

[@Lar308]

I worked in an Irish factory making carburettors (Borg Warner Tralee) back then and loved listening to all the wonderful songs on the factory speakers that helped pass away the time of all that repetitive machine work. This song and many others bring those memories flooding back.

[@orenjeansonne9133]

Another true master piece of brilliance. Way before their time. I use to hear their music as a child and it sounded like magic.

[@julietiernan8190]

🙏 rest in peace Mr Keyboard. Soundtrack to my youth, then met my late husband who was also obsessed with the best band. ❤

[@gloriahernando4887]

Fantásticos.Imposible deprimirse con ellos. Q subidón ....

[@frankbray9416]

An amazing combination of electronica, traditional strings and rock. No music today can compare!

[@oscarmoriano1958]
