Jeff Lynne is a superb producer of live sound as well as composer / musician. A modern genius.

@lamusiclover2264 Ай бұрын

I just saw them live last week here in Los Angeles and they sound just like their records. The sound mix is impeccable because Jeff Lynne is an incredible music producer and you can hear every instrument on its own. The weird violin sound you here during the violin break is exactly as it is on the record. It's a distortion device for the violin. The violins and the cellos are electric.

@BobCrabtree-ev4rz Ай бұрын

I saw Electric Light Orchestra live back in the 70s.Great concert..even without sexy women on the stringed instruments.

@Cosmo-Kramer Ай бұрын

It's not a distortion device on the studio version, it's a string crescendo from another song on the album (the song is, *"Nightrider",* and the album is, Face The Music) played backwards on, *"Evil Woman".* That's why it sounds strange to the ear, because it's backwards.

@AdamConus Ай бұрын

I saw ELO's farewell concert when they came to town a few weeks ago. I usually go to hard rock / prog shows where every song is 20 minutes long. Lynn and crew hit you with 3.5 minute hits one after another for two hours. It was a fantastic show.

@chronomatt6990 Ай бұрын

The “weirdness” at the mid point were strings played in reverse or “backmasked.” That created the dissonance. It was a prerecording triggered by the keyboardist, not played live.

@rojavida Ай бұрын

Actually, didn’t they just recreate the backmasked section using the live strings with added phasing? The live phasing might also be the reason for the difference in sound. I’m just sceptical about the “pre-recorded” idea because it sounds more difficult to do. But hey, if you know it as fact rather than speculation, that’s fine.

@MusiCatsKing Ай бұрын

No mistake, the dischord is intentional and correct.

@skydog4393 Ай бұрын

The instrument that gives that sound is a Clavinet. An electronic keyboard that gives that mix of a wah-wah sound. Widely used in the 70's and 80's Disco period.

I hear this a lot in reaction videos: "I know this section!". It's because the songs are so old (and GOOD) they have permeated the culture to a level that they could not have imagined at the time. Whether in movies or commercials, they get played, sometimes in tiny clips, or as part of a movie soundtrack. Also, that sound you were obsessing over was there in the original studio version, it was by design, to don't mess with perfection, please. I've heard this enough times to know almost every note by heart.

@sdw2is Ай бұрын

Its a synthesizer. Have seen them multiple times live starting in 1973. This is their live sound. Jeff Lynn is considered a production, recording and sound system genius. The light show is second to none as well.

That's a Clavinet (keyboard) on the chorus. The string break was created by running the string part through a phase shifter (processor). It was originally created by playing a string part backwards from another song on the same album "Face the Music" then running it through the phase shifter. Pretty cool! Jeff Lynne is a great innovator!

@steelers6titles Ай бұрын

I wrote this in a matter of minutes. The rest of the album was done. I listened to it and thought, 'There’s not a good single.' So I sent the band out to a game of football and made up 'Evil Woman' on the spot. The first three chords came right to me. It was the quickest thing I’d ever done. We kept it slick and cool, kind of like an R&B song. It was kind of a posh one for me, with all the big piano solos and the string arrangement. It was inspired by a certain woman, but I can’t say who. She’s appeared a few times in my songs.--J. L.

You have to remember “American Band Stand” was the only live performance on TV at the time,so if you wanted a live experience you had to go to a live performance 🤣. So the crowd was always huge,the crowd here was thin because people had space between them on the floor. I went to a concert once and had to push the guy in front of my girlfriend so we could breathe and a stage hand started pumping out dry ice fog on the crowd to keep cool so they didn’t pass out (I think some people did) from body heat. Fun times 🎉 Oh and maybe “The Midnight Special “. No computer cell phones only records or possibly eight tracks.

@Rassskle Ай бұрын

Pop and rock often use sour or off notes etc for effect or meaning . One of my favourite recordings by Master Classical Guitarist John Williams is based around discordant and seemingly bum notes.....but when composed so well and played perfectly it sounds fantastic. The tune itself was composed by a renowned composer, so it wasn't a mistake.

The "hole in my head" line is a reference to the Beatles' "Fixing A Hole". Lynne was heavily influenced by them. John Lennon called ELO "the new Beatles". Jeff helped get George Harrison's career going again in the late Eighties, and, with him, was a member of the Traveling Wilburys.

@Cosmo-Kramer Ай бұрын

Not quite. What Lennon called ELO was, "Son of Beatles". The former Beatle really dug ELO, praising them several times in the '70s, even up to just a few months before his death in 1980, when he listed, *"All Over The World",* as his favorite new song on the radio.

For starters, lots of fun on this review! I agree around 5:20, I think that particular sound was from a guitar with a pedal effect. The attack is so distinct and forward, and there are nuances hard to explain that "feel" like the downward and upward picking pattern. Not the sound of the pick, per se, but the difference between upward and downward stroke of the pick, esp when picking kind of fast like that. I'm sure a synth can be programmed thusly, and you could probably come close to that sound. But..... I think guitar.

Thanks, Maggie - they were awesome when they came out in the mid-late seventies.. and continue on... their live performances are always great.. Jeff Lynne is the genius behind this group.. I hope you have time & inclination to check him out as part of the "Traveling Wilburys" as well.. probably the best "super group" evah! (Jeff, George Harrison, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan and Roy Orbison!)... look forward to more of your reactions... (p.s. that little "discord" you heard was TOTALLY deliberate... lol.. creating that moment of dissonance also creates a "relief" when it's resolved)

@steelers6titles Ай бұрын

Early on, Jeff Lynne just kept overdubbing. By the time of "Face The Music", in addition to the group's musicians, he was using a 30-piece string section in the studio.

It's not a phase effect on the studio version, it's a string crescendo from another song on the album (the song is, *"Nightrider",* and the album is, Face The Music) played backwards on, *"Evil Woman".* That's why it sounds strange to the ear, because it's backwards.

That electric violin part that sounds like a wrong note is, as far as I know, the correct note. I have heard this song 1000 times over my life and that note is ALWAYS there. I think it's there to play on the unsettling feeling of the word "evil" in the title. At this point, the song wouldn't sound proper to me withOUT that note.
