ELO Electric Light Orchestra - Showdown Strange Magic live

[@Leaberryz8]

The real test of talent is in the live performance of any band. There's no hiding behind electronics and overbubbing when it's just you and your band in front of a live audience. To re-create the sound of E.L.O's songs from the studio the way Jeff does is absolutely incredible.

[@stephendavidcavuoti6548]

Yes it’s Called Practicing !

[@ralphkrzyzanski4069]

Got to be among the Greatest Bands of the 20th Cen. I never tire of hearing E L O

[@richardshultis9626]

Ok, folks...it dont get no better than this. Have been listening to ELO for decades now. No body is better!

[@gianmarcobarbetta961]

thanks to my parents who, when I was a child, make me listen to this music......

[@socialmaven3346]

Saw them live many times. They were so talented as musicians and singers. Jeff Lynne's voice was and still is amazing! This is REAL music and singing, children. Listen up!

[@bigdaddylulz1]

She cried to the southern wind About a love that was sure to end Every dream in her heart was gone Headin' for a Showdown Bad dreamer, what's your name? Looks like we're ridin' on the same train Looks as through there'll be more pain There's gonna be a Showdown And it's rainin' all over the world It's raining all over the world Tonight, the longest night She came to me like a friend She blew in on a southern wind Now my heart is turned to stone again There's gonna be a Showdown Save me, oh, save me It's unreal, the suffering There's gonna be a Showdown And it's rainin' all over the world It's raining all over the world Tonight, the longest night Raining, raining Raining, raining Raining all over the world Raining all over the world The longest night And it's raining all over the world Raining all over the world Tonight, the longest night

[@timford3599]

The Zoom Tour was the very best performance(s) for Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra! It's one of my favorite Live performances of all my life time. They are all at the tops of their game!

[@gazuaman]

I've listen to ELO lately and I'm amazed with the arrangements they have...it seems that it's all well fit...and it it is, actually.

[@AGSBraintoast]

His ability to blend with the feeling is awesome :D

[@lenagladh4422]

Love this Music !!!

[@renesalgadorobles5116]

It s a chicago s rainy night l was broken hearted looking the rain falling from the sky, and crying. Empty magnum beer quarts all over the floor. On the stereo a vinyl of ELo repeating showdown over and over again On the third floor of a transients hotel. Bad bad 1998.

[@CapitalBrum]

Jeff Lynne is from Shard End In Birmingham, just up the road from us! Love his music!

[@ratfoot]

Man I would kill for a high quality audio rip of this.

[@ColoradoViews50]

This must have been an awesome show to see - they get the tunes sounding just like the records, which is incredibly difficult. Jeff Lynne is just too cool for school.

[@XAUSTXCOREX]

ELO are the best!

[@12172842]

Con ésta canción siempre le recuerdo a mi niñita, porque le amo mucho

[@adrianophm91]

Strange magic...sweet music

[@MurrayMelander]

Rosie Vela is soooooooooooooooo gorgeous!!!

[@APTKC2025]

I've listened to the vid of ELO live in 1974 singing Showdown and there Jeff clearly sings "It's unreal, the suffering"...but here he clearly sings "that's a real submarine". I wonder if he is having a joke on the fans?

[@EVHguitarz]

@darkechoshine thanks...I did some checking on her recording and modeling history.....she plays a fluent piano

[@ThePhucyou]

@nick1137 True that !! and what about Rosie Vela ??

[@RCnetworkstudio]

@XAUSTXCOREX yes they are i grew up on them

[@lindajeffsgirl1]

If you look closely you will see Jeff singing "It's a real submarine" with a little smile. A very old joke....

[@hardework1]

Damn, I'd be jumpin 'n bouncing all over the floor, seems the audience passed their years quicker than good old Jeff (and Rich) - still going strong!

[@AwesomeBeatles]

When will Jeff start another tour ?

[@XAUSTXCOREX]

LOL, I was reading that when ELO first came to America...They said, paraphrased here: The group with the big fiddles,lol.

[@cyndij5360]

He does say a real suffering

[@tduffy5]

Does anyone know when or where this performance was given?

[@chriswick7987]

Who is the fine lady singing next to Jeff Lynne?

[@rickfinnerty4492]

[@wv171]

Jeff pretty good I say atleast top 10 if not more.. But Hard to beat the great Skydog Allman ...Skydog is down right amazing and surprising died motorcycle accident he was only 24 years old.. If that truck didn't cross in front of him just wonder what great music we miss out on.. At time of his death Skydog was flying all over world between ABB sometimes late for his own band playing for other groups .. Everybody including Clapton wanted him on there recording's such a Laya He play on

[@mfjplat18k]

@4:20 mark, high five!!!

[@FalseShatner]

Yep, he was joking with fans, whom as a joke popularly, "misunderstood" that line.

[@FalseShatner]

It's unreal, the suffering. In this version he said submarine though on account o' he's a goofball and Beatles fan.

[@Mulletman0513]

1 fan prefers Jeff Lip Sync again...brilliant group

[@TheCOOL73]

Skate 2 :DD

[@daleadkins2736]
