ELO - Laredo Tornado Live 1974 Stereo Remaster

ELO performs Laredo Tornado from the album Eldorado live in 1974. I obtained the audio from a separate source than the video. I restored, remastered and created a stereo soundtrack from the mono audio. Hope you enjoy this version.

[@VictoriaHarrison-qe3qw]

This sublime track was the sole reason I fell head over heals in love with ELO when I was just 6 years old!! May God rest your beautiful soul Kelly Sir xxx

[@ELOSHAZZY]

This alone should have been a reason to for this group to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!

[@mbarsky]

I get chills when Kelly comes in at 1:42…"what can you do when your dream word is gone"…his voice stayed pitch perfect for his entire life, and it's almost impossible to discern 1974 from 2008. Great job on a deep, deep album cut.

[@clayadkins9305]

That's Mike de Albuquerque on bass, not Kelly. Kelly came just a bit later.

[@mbarsky]

No, that is absolutely Kelly...Mike A was credited on the album , but Kelly joined for the Eldorado tour. Kelly's high voice is so distinguishable.

[@Oh_I_Will]

mbarsky its def. Kelly G...mike looks nothing like him...

[@katfontaine3895]

and that voice....no mistaking Kelly Groucutt 🌈🌈☉☉☄☄💚💙💗🎶🎶🎶

@@mbarsky its deffo kelly. His mom lived 2 minutes from where i live and i used2 see him go there and met him doin an openin at a scout hut in coseley where he signed my dont bring me down 12" single. Was a great bloke. 👍

[@juneskinner6639]

Wow how did I miss this track, mind-blowing, Jeffs voice, he's just pure magic ❤️❤️🎸

[@sarahloughlin3724]

Jeff Lynne's voice is unbelievably beautiful!

[@WickedGravityVideo]

Eldorado...... wow... they don't make albums like this anymore.

[@timwingham8952]

Mike Edwards and Kelly Groucutt together - must have been one of Mike's last appearances and one of Kelly's first. Kelly's voice was just perfect as a blend with Jeff's.

[@erichutley2669]

That does not look like Kelly Groucutt--but it is. He really made the difference in this band in singing the higher harmonies. In fact, this is a pretty groovy song; this live version sounds better than the vinyl album.

[@jaredrobertson8441]

this is one of the most awesome songs they've done in the early years of their career. I can't explain much other than that. It simply has everything you want your ears to hear through the whole song. It looks like summer days are going to continue for this Jeff Lynne music wizard. That is all I have to say.

[@handy905]

Wow! What an incredible rendition - Jeff is on Fire vocally! And Kelly! Always been a favourite song of mine but this is awesome. Thanks for sharing (all those years ago!)

[@ikkenhisatsu7170]

What Jeff Lynne and the band did was phenomenal. Amazing.

[@cindyhayward1097]

After 40 years, still the best

[@JeffLynnesELOFan]

We need to find the original audio and video this is such an incredible masterpiece.

[@Oh_I_Will]

At least they aren’t playing to Orchestra backing tracks on this version....

[@movejefflynnelo]

The audio was from a higher quality recording from the same performance. Mike De Albuquerque left before the Eldorado album was even finished. Kelly is singing alongside Jeff Lynne on this one.

[@movejefflynnelo]

I don't claim ownership of this or any video I upload. The source audio was from a different source than the video's audio. The video I got was from P2P network and the audio was from an ELO fan site. All of these videos on You Tube actually belong to the original broadcast company and not any of us uploaders. I consider elodevi a friend and at no time do I want to infringe on any of his or fellow ELO fans uploads. i want ELO fans to have access to the highest audio and video quality available.

You forgot the string section

[@StoryeTime]

@@nightisright1873 Good point! I did write "etc" ;)

[@Rockstaralan]

First off, I'm totally stoked to get the skinny on just when DeAlbuquerqe exited and Groucutt took his place. I knew it was sometime in '74 when the change took place. Either way, we know it was a blessing for sure when Groucutt came in. However, it's just freekin' WEIRD to see this early footage of him without the perm or overgrown handlebar 'stache that has become such an unofficial trademark in the minds of us ELO fans worldwide. Otherwise, Great performance!

[@gregorywheless5823]

Bevin's drumming , sounding so Indian like . Jeff's lyrics about a tornado destroying an indian tribe . This coming from an Englishman . This live version is just unreal .

[@farleigh1973]

How can there be 3 thumbs down for this ffs? Who's ever thumbs they are, I would break then..degenerates. Awesome performance from the boys.

[@Ray0X0]

omg... that phrase "what can you do when your dream world is gone and your friends and lovers too..." makes my cry...

[@shanachelich2782]

Wow, this is amazing!

Downloaded the song from Apple but love this version far better.

Great Jeff Lynne, great ELO, great ELDORADO,great Laredo Tornado.

[@sarahloughlin3724]

Jeff Lynne and Kelly Groucutt sound phenomenal singing together!

[@bandpassmess]

That's it I'm getting a perm !

[@jeffj2495]

I agree. Great album, and great song. But he must have spent a lot of money on that perm too!

[@bandpassmess]

+Jeff J it's part of his trademark image !

[@nightisright1873]

What’s a perm

[@carolinemaluca]

NightIsRight it’s a permanent, they curl your hair using some kind of product and it lasts for months.

[@iniquity123]

🤣🤣🤣

[@mottledbrain]

I just listened to this album tonight on my Dual turntable and Marantz receiver. Eldorado is one of my favorite albums. For me it is a package. It is best to listen to it from start to finish (with just a short break in the middle to flip the record over).

[@bandpassmess]

They are in a class by themselves !!!

[@gregorywheless3064]

never thought they could pull this off live ! love it only thing I miss is the "ooooh" in the background

[@gregorywheless3064]

brad zybola the "ooooh" harmonies were off the album version yeah there were better songs but these lyrics are interesting about an Indian tribe I think

[@sharmainelattanzi4250]

brad zybola e

[@gregorywheless3064]

It almost sounds like an Indian war song especially the killer drumming . I don't have the lyrics in front of me but it sounds like an Indian lost his love ones in a bad storm or tornado.

[@shanachelich2782]

Thanks for restoring and remastering this, sounds awesome!

[@michaelforde4373]

The thumbs down were from Australia , early Elo fantastic synergy , grocutt great backing vocalist!

[@BlueMoody58]

Really outstanding restoration and remastering job. I've heard the original and this is HUGELY better. Thanks!

[@sonnydean3187]

I still play my Eldorado LP very loud!

[@MsVintageCat]

Man, this live version is funky! Love it!!That base is right up front which is so different from the album. I can't seem hear the symbols as much in the studio recording either. The album version sounds so tinny compared to this and the base is definitely hitting more notes on the live version. This is ace!!

[@garrystubbs4891]

'Bass' '- 'Cymbals'. Your're welcome.

[@ngobleus]

I'm only 22--I first heard this when I was about 10 or so after my dad bought the album on CD. Always been one of my favorite ELO songs.

[@Phil-1]

great work. much appreciated.

[@Proglove85]

@jeflynnenut Besides the obvious fact, that Kelly Groucutt was born MICHAEL Groucutt ;-) but obviously, you're right. Kelly had a rather distinctive voice...

[@davidmacgregor5193]

Kelly was born Michael William Groucutt, Kelly was his school nickname. When he joined ELO there was already three Michael's, Edwards, de Albuquerque and Kaminski, so not to confuse matters further he used his old nickname, Kelly.

That announcer looks so happy !!

I can’t stop laughing at Jeff singing I’ve saw a rainy day years later he writes several songs with rain in the title Concerto for a rainy Day (for the i enlightened Standing in the Rain) Down came the ran And rain is falling

[@JeffLynnesELOFan]

You again little P with the stupid comment.

[@FinnMove]

Are you sure that this show is in 1974 ? Kelly Groucutt plays bass. They played a lot of Eldorado stuff until Face the Music was released.

[@777jonah888]

I can attest to that! I saw the Out of The Blue tour in Toronto and at least 20 songs are missing from the dvd Live at Wembley.. Where did you get the bootleg and can I get it from you please.

@elofan67 Rolling Stone is not Jesus Christ, though Jann Wenner thinks it (he) is. When a magazine puts Justin Beiber, Lady Gaga and other non-rock acts on the cover, and they continue to slag heavy metal (unless it's Metalllica) and prog (unless it's Genesis), then they are not a real rock and roll magazine. I've said it before, the only great thing or person to come out of Rolling Stone was Hunter S. Thompson and Ralph Steadman. After Thompson offed himself, RS lost any street cred it had

Paul Farleigh probably thumbs down bc they were hoping for a Don't Bring Me Down drum machine riff instead...

[@sarahloughlin3724]

ELO had no idea how phenomenal they sounded. They were just off the charts in natural talent!

I think te same. One of my 3 or 5 favorites song of ELO!!

[@Dermot2927]

The "MC" (!) "Whispering" Bob Harris was famed for his, er "laid back" manner. This was the early Seventies, don't forget, when it was the norm to be so laid back you were horizontal. Bob championed great music on British TV when no-one, but no-one else was doing it, and he absolutely LOVED music, despite his chilled demeanour! He still presents radio shows on UK radio.

[@katherineledesma7863]

@movejefflynnelo He might have been gone, but am I mistaken, but wasn't DeAlberquerque in the group pic on the inner sleeve of the Eldorado album? Or was that on the US United Artists pressing only as they could have just used a photo that was convenient to them.

[@movejefflynnelo]

Mike De Albuquerque left ELO before the completion of the album Eldorado in 1974 and replaced by Kelly Groucutt in 1974 at the start of the Eldorado Tour.They played Eldorado stuff during from 1974 to 1978. The Out Blue tour featured tracks from Eldorado. The concert video is actually missing 45 mins of concert footage. The concert was edited to fit an TV hour time slot. I have bootlegs from the Out Of The Blue Tour to prove it.

Believe it or not we should all thank elodevi for the original video and alternate audio as well. I just put them together to get a better video. So take it easy on AZERTYoscar. He was just concerned that I was encroaching on our friend elodevi efforts and his uploads. No offense or encroachment was meant. I have discovered that some of the videos I have uploaded are being shared on P2P networks. So the video I downloaded was elodevi's upload!
