ELO - Mik's Violin Solo/Hungarian Dance No. 5/Orange Blossom Special Live @ Winterland

[@AndreaJenereaux]

This is the guy, who along with ELO, made me feel cool to be a violinist. Thanks, Mik, Jeff, et al.❤

[@andrzejmadej8129]

Pozdrawiam elo wszystkich i Kamińskiego Nika za jego zdolności muzyczne i że znalazł się w grupie elo poprostu robisz to mistrzowsko

[@SerenityMichelle1]

So sad that more violin is not used in bands. This kicks butt!

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

I think the same can be said for just about any solo because of the commercial considerations at the time, and some music journalists' opinions.

[@wezza60]

I remember Mik doing this solo at the Myer Music bowl in Melbourne, Australia on the 9th of Feb 1978, bloody fantastic.

[@darleneeverts7229]

Thanks, Mik, for such an inspiring number. ELO has been my fave group from their beginning. There is no doubt that the genius of Jeff Lynne helped ELO to be such an awesome group. But, sometimes, I feel like the very talented guys that supported him were underappreciated. Mik is definitely one of these guys and I wish there was a way to let him know just how much he was loved by this lady from the States. I could listen to him play anytime and do, whether it be viewing his videos with/without ELO or playing recordings of ELO, ELO II, or the great Violinski album. Can't forget Orkestra or the Orchestra - his latest projects. Wish I could have seen him perform in these later years. Feel fortunate to have seen them live during their Out of the Blue tour. Mik always caught my eye. He was fantastic! Anyway, thanks again to a very talented man.

ELOにはまる理由は、まさにこれです👍❤

[@eugenemalush9284]

As a lover of both ELO and traditional bluegrass, I can honestly say that this boy has it going on!

[@trvkent]

[@waldemarpolewacz3772]

Nasz drogi Polak w zespole :) BRAWO :)))

[@alainmorin]

Fantastic!

[@lmacorp]

brilliant

[@nightisright1873]

How hard would this be to play on a violin

[@chrisjpopp]

If you don't have actual footage, use a stills instead. Having a "production" card at the start of a KZbin video is already "bleh" but to take video footage that doesn't line up with what's being played and isn't from that production is.... well, it makes me say "hey, how you like that new version of Adobe Premiere? Have you done the star wipe yet?" Ok - video aside, great song.

[@Oh_I_Will]

Chris Popp and I whine about that annoying 30 second intro audio clip the UL places on every video...at least we get the Booed Audiio

[@edcollins9377]

Mik dances an Irish jig and Hugh does a bit too!!! The fiddle and cello players were the ones who put on the show back in the day. Jeff is a great songwriter and a whizz in the studio, but not the greatest performer. Jeff Lynne's ELO sounds great, but they aren't very entertaining when they play live. I miss the old guys: Hugh, Mik, Melvyn, Bev, Richard and Kelly. Kelly was such a good singer. It was nice to see Richard on the first tour and the Hyde Park video. I wonder why he's no longer with the band????

[@GNF54]

I'm pretty sure Richard just got too old to tour and retired from it.

[@timwingham8952]

The string section were treated pretty shabbily. They were sacked by letter. ELO was never the same - and although many will disagree, I always felt that the Time album, brilliant though it is would have been given an extra dimension by using the string section. RIP Hugh (and Kelly).

[@Napriz1]

I wonder the age he begun to play violin he's veteran

[@timothyantoine914]

That's some fiddle player da got !

[@edcollins9377]

This guy has a nice channel with great videos! Too bad he has to downgrade the experience by adding those 20 second promo intros to everyone of his videos!!!!!!

[@TimmyOzman]

Is it my imagination or is the video not even close to being in time with the audio? Was still nice to watch though. * note: I wrote the comment above right before it showed the rest of the band come in (you can't hear the band), so obviously the video and audio don't match.

[@markglass868]

3 “37 love it csardas anyone?

[@Napriz1]

@MrTjgale Hahahaha!! Looks like we (ELO fans) know your father more than you do!! Xb
