ELO - Strange Magic (Remastered Live) Electric Light Orchestra 1976

[@garoscar2695]

Only Jeff could have written a song like this. Pure magic

[@guitarslim56]

Strange magic

[@snsnshhhs663]

Pretty sure Kelly co-wrote this, ironically

[@neonfroot]

Strange Magic is Jeff Lynnes Good Vibrations. Songs lik thoe are defined by certain special effects. The whooshing acoustic guitar sound is what attracted me to Strange Magic. The electro theremin is what attrated me to Good Vibrations.

[@user-tb4el1sr1q]

Jeff you be looking familiarity strange type of magic to me probably that doppelganger issues

[@GNF54]

Strange Magic was one of the four ELO songs that Kelly Groucutt explicitly pointed out as ones he co-wrote large portions of with Lynne

March 69 from St.Albans and my dear departed and I love ELO. My dad took me to Wembly when I was so young and I swear I saw a spaceship fly up from the stage as the band walked out. False memory but a wonderful one none the less. I often put on ELO when I am decorating my house and have been for the past 3 years. I am not kidding either. I blast it out and it inspires me 😜 I am and old fart now, now did that happen 🤔 Kids and grandkids, but I am still the child around here and always will be 😝🤣 What a lovely song. Have you seen the animated film with the same name and the same tune in it ? It's good and wholesome. Respect the inner child in you 🤗🥰😍🤩😘🤗

[@sarahloughlin3724]

Lucky Lady!

[@LoredanaLanzo-iq8ux]

Io morirò col desiderio di vederli almeno una volta.. non sarà mai più possibile perché è rimasto solo Jeff Lynne che dell'Italia non ricorda neppure l' esistenza. Di viventi originali o storici sono rimasti Roy, Bev, Mik e Melvin, ma non c'è misericordia che possano fare una riunione, anche di una sola data, fosse anche solo per beneficenza 😭

[@dononeal3313]

First and last thing i saw at the Toledo sports Arena was the circus that came to town, sad that its no longer around

Oh boy, we were the lucky generation...music of the 70`s.....and it went on till the 80`s too. Here we are in 2021 and those beautiful sounds are still in our souls.......old as some of us are, now. We were there.

[@garyrasberryjr.552]

Bev used to sing backup during his days with The Move (and actually did a couple of lead parts as well). Listen to the chorus on "I Can Hear The Grass Grow" and you can hear his low tone. All of the early Move members (Roy Wood, Ace Kefford, Trevor Burton, Carl Wayne and Bev) could sing.
