ELO Part II - Eldorado Overture - Can`t Get It Our Of My Head - Live Stockholm 7 Mar 1998

[@philbates7975]

Just for information. No one on Pt2 thought they were ELO. We just went out and played this great music to the thousands, tens of thousands, actually, who wanted to hear it 'live', and had no chance to do so. I also feel no sense of inferiority having mixed this recording, played a little piano, and guitar, and played a big part in bringing this great music to people over the 6 years I was involved. No regrets, regardless of the varied opinions of the zealots and super fans.

[@elodevi]

HI Phil You are one of my idols and is perfect your comment. Thanks for write., Jorge from Argentina (elodevi)

[@buzz1196]

You did very well. Disregard the critics. They are everywhere, but never do anything but criticize. At least you love the music enough to keep it alive.

[@frazzleface753]

Yes, yes absolutely Phil! You guys wanted to play the music for all the fans who wanted to hear it and have a good time doing so, simple as that. There was no sense that you were trying to be ELO.

[@timwingham8952]

Well said Phil. You did a great job. Jeff Lynne didn't want to tour - someone had to take the music to a live audience. You did. Superbly.

[@NatFlieger]

nuff said.

[@TheGuitologist]

The opening of the greatest rock and roll album ever recorded. Magnificent. Burned out dreams.

[@KickAssets]

I'd give anything to see this LIVE!!! Damn lucky people! The Perfect music!

[@expantube]

When you hear Jeff in a song like for example "Moment in Paradise" ("Zoom" album) you realize it is just impossible to replace him as a singer, and when you listen to his songs you realize he has a unique creativity.

[@Oh_I_Will]

Dom Dom and at the same time...Zoom to the present day music can’t touch the music ELO produced in the 70’s with this Classic Lineup backing Jeff up...

[@CatastrophicG]

This is magnificent!! Played with respect to the original and love of the work in original. Love both ELO pt2 and Jeff Lynne's ELO..

[@kevinmyles6369]

Brilliant execution of an absolute classic! Loving it! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Dermot2927]

Lynne's vocals on the album are stunning, so this suffers from the lack of them, but it's still great to hear this amazing piece of music played by such a fabulous orchestra. Truly, one of the great overlooked albums, and I'm not even that big an ELO fan. It's a perfect record.

[@TheJohnnyCotts]

And that's why the band was called "ELO Part II". Believe it or not, Jeff Lynne gave Bev Bevan his blessing to carry on without him, but on the condition that he had to call it "ELO Part II", not just "ELO".

[@kenkyukai96]

No matter who's singing, to hear this with a full orchestra brings tears to this long time ELO fans eyes.

[@USABG58]

As a die-hard ELO fanatic who walked into a room in San Francisco in 1973 and was instantly hooked on elo, this album has got to be amongst the top 100 all time rock albums, que no?

[@finickity]

Nothing Fake about these. Seen them many times live and brilliant without Jeff Lynne. Eric Troyer on vocals does a great job, Kelly Groucutt on bass was a gentleman whom I had the pleasure of meeting and shaking hands. His death in February 2009 was a great loss.

[@fadeaway2]

Indeed Kelly was a big part of ELO.

[@nightisright1873]

I never really understood why Kelly is such a big part of ELO please explain .All I know about Kelly is that he was an opera singer

[@richardkenworthy5604]

@@nightisright1873 Kelly joined ELO after the recording of the Eldorado album. Live he played the bass guitar and provided back up vocals as well as lead vocals on a number of songs. With ELO Part 2 and The Orchestra he was a key part of the communication with the audience. Those who met him in person tell of what a lovely guy he was. I believe that it was he that contributed the bass line on Last train to London from the Discovery album. He did also the opera singing parts for live performances of Rockaria, which is what you are talking about in your post.

[@hernanpatrik4908]

En 1997 vinieron a Sudamérica, a Chile y los vi en vivo en un recinto pequeño pero alborotado en 2 funciones ese día. Aún los recuerdo fue un excelente show, repasaron lo mejor de ELO con un sonido grandioso. La gente los aplaudió con todo. Además son personas super sencillas y grandiosos músicos. Después vinieron 2 o 4 veces más , en todos los chilenos los recibieron con mucho respeto a lo que ellos fueron y son.

[@JRP020563]

Absolutamente fabuloso material. Vaya material fregón. y aunque estoy triste por la partida de Kelly, estos genios han dejado un legado importantísimo en el escenario del rock mundial. .

[@shanecullen2165]

Stuart is absolutely right and I agree with his statement 100%. Also we'd all be alot poorer today, musically, if it had not been for both Jeff and Louis. Oh to bring back that magic of E.L.O

ELO did't sack Jeff, he left cos he thought he was bigger than the band. Great singer songwriter though. Louis Clark actually made ELO with his orcestrations.

[@philbedford8979]

I wonder if Miks amplifier was turned a notch or two higher otherwise his violin would have just blended in with the other violins...

[@MMMarvelous]

Eric does a very good job with this, very professional. It's not as good as Jeff, but it's at least 80% as good. If the criteria is to sound EXACTLY like Jeff or have the same or better vocal talent than Jeff, he's short, but not miserably so. However, if the goal is to have a good professionally-done vocal that TRIES to replicate the original, it's a 100% good effort & performance by a good singer. He lacks the emotion of Jeff & he's not as good a singer as Jeff, but he's not bad at all.

[@davidmacgregor5193]

It makes one wonder, what would have happened to Jeff Lynne if Roy Wood hadn't asked him a second time to join The Move? Lynne wrote some great song in his time with The Idle Race, but they seemed to go over the buying public's head. Would Lynne have soldiered on with The Idle Race?, I don't think so, he was so disillusioned by his lack of success that perhaps he'd have packed in with music altogether and got himself a proper job, who knows? ELO was Wood's brainchild, not Lynne's, people forget that without Roy Wood there would have been no ELO for Lynne to guide to commercial success and become one of the 1970's biggest crowd pullers, filling stadium after stadium. Before "10538 Overture" Lynne had never written a hit single, Wood on the other hand had written seven hits and a #1 with "Blackberry Way". I ask all you older Jeff Lynne supporters, why weren't you buying Lynne's Idle Race records in the 1960's? They were certainly great songs, BBC dj's Kenny Everett, John Peel and Brian Matthew championed The Idle Race. I feel that many of you jumped on the ELO bandwagon after they had commercial success, take it from one who's followed both Wood and Lynne's career from the start, you know nothing, so stop bitching. Apart from Bev Bevan, Lynne treated his fellow ELO band members as employees, full stop, they were simply paid a salary. To Lynne they were expendable , as Wilf Gibson's departure proved. Lynne disbanded ELO after he'd run out of ideas as the dire "Balance of Power" album showed, it was shite. Lynne's fellow band members kept Jeff Lynne's ELO era music alive by playing to millions of fans around the globe after Lynne himself had lost interest in the project. He preferred to be a Traveling Wilbury, under a couple of assumed names, in the process producing a load of twaddle. Lynne's 2001 "Zoom Tour" had to be cancelled due to poor ticket sales, yet The Orchestra were playing to sellout venues "All Over the World", sorry I had to get that one in. Thank you ELO Part 2 and The Orchestra for keeping the ELO's music live in our hearts. R.I.P. Sreve Woolam, Mike Edwards, Wilf Gibson and Kelly Groucutt.

[@timwingham8952]

And now RIP Hugh McDowell.

[@Oh_I_Will]

David MacGregor agree with most of what you said but the “jumped on the bandwagon” is a stretch. I’m happy for you that you “feel” a certain way but what your saying is too vague. Where are you citing this information from? Bev was treated differently bc he had a stake in the ELO brand name. Why shouldn’t he be treated differently than say KG... as for the Classic Lineup...dropping each member in time was a loss and it reflects in the mediocre albums Jeff released when he traded Bev in for Drum Machines. Zoom wasn’t even as good as Armchair IMHO. And the last record was even weaker in quality. I wish Jeff well with his hired hands but the Classic 1970’s Lineup is no longer available due to RIPs...so rather than moaning and groaning about it....it’s time to enjoy the music, rather than Face (yea I can play that game too)

[@FinnMove]

ELO part two was a bit underrated. Here is a real orchestra playing when in the 1970´s Overture came from the tapes in the concerts. But I still hope they would have contributed more their own material.

[@nightisright1873]

FinnMove that’s cause in the 70s it would expensive as hell to tour with a live orchestra .

[@nunuloki]

I recognized Mik Kaminsky and Melvyn Gale from the famous 70s line-up, but was Bev Bevan also there? couldn't tell because never got a decent look at the drummer.

[@579tweetybird]

vince maloney Kelly Groucutt is there also between Mik Kaminsky and the guy singing lead.

[@timwingham8952]

Melvyn Gale isn't there. He never played with them. But did apparently visit back stage once.

Por la música vale la pena escuchar esta canción...pero se nota que le falta a JEFF LYNNE..

[@dogboner2001]

Wow! Big venue! With a full orchestra no less! what was the occasion?

[@fotomenas]

nice

[@BarnsleyTimelord]

Very good, no doubt about that, but, without Jeff - little more than a tribute. Just imagine if he had actually fronted this line-up & orchestra. It would have been the concert of all-time.

[@Dermot2927]

I think I might put it in my top ten - there are very few albums that I consider flawless from start to finish (Led Zeppelin's 4th springs to mind, maybe the Stones' Sticky Fingers and Exile On Main Street, but not many others).

[@erickellogg8532]

who did the voice for the overture

[@groundhog713]

Peter Ford Robinson. He was a British actor who acted in films and plays and also on the stage.

[@cavallogianni]

They definitely don't bring the passion and the magic that Jeff lynne's voice brings, I really find it disrespectful that they would go out on tour with someone else's music

[@GNF54]

Well Kelly Groucutt did heavily contribute to ELO during its prime from Face The Music onwards. Unfortunately Jeff Lynne has basically erased him as he never got credited for his song writing contributions

[@sarahloughlin3724]

In my opinion this singer's voice sounds very similar to Jeff Lynne's. His voice is the closet to Jeff"s then anyone else.

[@American86]

So are you saying late Kelly Groucutt and Mik Kaminski in this video is no good talented musicians despite they played with Jeff Lynne and were in Electric Light Orchestra. I dunno dude that is showing disrespect to some great musicians who thought it would be great idea to carry on Electric Light Orchestra without Jeff Lynne since he was lazy enough not to do it till 2000 to 2001.

[@Redlinesixtynine]

It's so easy to criticize. 1st off, cocky = Rock n Roll. 2nd and most important, without Jeff, there would be none of these songs to enjoy and treasure. I mean just listen to this song, it's amazing. He's one of the best writers, arrangers, producers ,and his singing is no slouch either.

Thanks for YOUR opinion. It doesnt change my opinion.

[@vanessahenry9376]

It isn't meant to change your opinion - some of us just like Jeff better and on the cocky part - I have met and talked with him and never came off as cocky to me. Both singers are good just very different - and like Redline said without Jeff there wouldn't have been these songs so we both have something good to take from this.
