Jeff Lynne's ELO - Eldorado Overture / Can't Get It Out Of My Head (BBC Radio 2 In Concert 2019)

[@ZappBranning]

I was there it was fabulous this song made me cry 😢

[@mjklein]

Whomever wrote the orchestration is a genius. Those Am/G string arpeggios are fantastic.

[@denisej4813]

I'm not sure who orchestrated this particular version, but it certainly owes a lot to the orchestration by the late Louis Clark of the original album tracks on the Eldorado album, realised back in 1974. Louis Clark worked closely with Jeff Lynne, and also worked on the 1980's Hooked on Classics series of albums with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

[@KickAssets]

How can ELO not be considered one of the best groups in history? This music with the combination of classical, rock and great lyrics...how can anyone top it?

[@MusicLover10538]

In my humble opinion, ELO is the best in history with the Beatles. But Jeff Lynne's ELO is the best live band i have ever seen.

[@eBenkyou]

I agree, I think they are the best. Maybe it just takes real high intelligence to understand that as you can see the popular music of today is total crap and not even music for that matter.

[@JeffLynnesELO2025Tour]

@@eBenkyou Well said. Now I am hoping for a 2022 Tour. Long live Jeff Lynne’s Electric Light Orchestra!

[@andreaspohl1501]

Nobody can top the songs from the Electric Light Orchestra . SIR Jeff Lynne and the Electric Light Orchestra and Jeff Lynne s ELO are the greatest bands of the world. Their music is so fine. Classical bits harmoned with melodies, the sound and vice from JEFF LYNNE, SIR JEFF LYNNE ! I can t get out of my head ... I' m so prroud ...

[@KickAssets]

@@andreaspohl1501 i totally agree. Brian wilson is another genius

[@TheGuitologist]

When this song is finished...I continue on with the rest of the album...in my head...cause I can't get it out of my head.

Dear Jeff and your muscians… this is far beyond… the voice of an angel, just perfect!

[@westers1963]

The strings coming in after the drum intro is just pure magic

[@leebrand3724]

They are three very talented and beautiful women. Their playing gives this song a soulful sound which enhances the beauty of this amazing song written by Jeff who's voice is still as good today as it was in his early years

[@kathryn8304]

Love this (2019 performance) and sound of them all together with Jeff's lovely velvety tone ❤️

Celebrate Legends while they are still alive. The great Jeff Lynne (ELO) has a new album since November of 2019. Please, Jeff Lynne's ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA Tour in 2020! From 1972 to 1986 Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra has had more top 40 hits than any other group in the world. 50 years later they still play in sold-out Arenas and Stadiums. I just saw them last Summer of 2019 on the US and Canada Tour...( Best Concert of my life) All the reviews agreed they are the best live act in the world and Jeff Lynne is a Music Genius. They are in the Rock Hall of Fame. Lynne is on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and Birmingham Walk OF Fame. Jeff Lynne’s ELO won the Best Classic Rock Band plus Lynne won the best Song Writer award ( ASCAP ) 2019 for his fantastic contribution over the years. The Legends in the Music Industry call Jeff Lynne the best overall Musician ever and a Producer Extraordinaire. Long live Jeff Lynne’s ELO! P.S. Jeff Lynne Produced the Beatles, Tom Petty, Roy Oberson, Brian Wilson, Bryan Adams and so many other Legends...What an incredible talent! 1

[@CAD-th1qe]

I couldn't agree more.elo forever.

[@Cestmoiamis]

Yep! Really great!!!!! 💕

[@nzinaz]

Agreed, but please, it's Roy Orbison 😊

[@davidmacgregor5193]

There wouldn't have been an Electric Light Orchestra without Roy Wood, the idea of a rock band with it's own self-contained string section was Woody's brainchild in 1968 when he was in The Move and Jeff Lynne was in The Idle Race, Roy even came up with the name of the band. Too many people forget about Roy Wood's contribution to ELO, Roy's hit singles with The Move financed the earliest days of ELO from the first recording of 10538 Overture by The Move in July 1970 until Wood's untimely departure from ELO in June 1972. Jeff Lynne built ELO into one of the biggest bands of the 1970's, but Roy Wood laid the foundations that the band was built on.

[@Cestmoiamis]

One of the very best by Jeff Lynne and ELO. I never get tired of listening to the different versions / recordings of this one and many others by ELO, especially from the album ELDORADO! 💕

[@sonnydean3187]

Jeff Lynne's roots go so deep into modern rock and roll. It all started with ELO. The Eldorado Album is absolutely one of a kind. Grab something cool to drink, throw some headphones on and get lost......

[@wowojeejee]

Back when music had melodies. I love them girls with the big fiddles! Jeff is one of the best musician/writer/singer in my lifetime.

[@jerryblazier1125]

[@rev7verse14]

Jeff, Bev, Richard, Kelly, Hugh, Mik, and Melvyn........ These were my favourite ELO

[@5lexicon]

Simply beautiful,never gets old.

[@ecurb10]

I have been a huge fan for many years, but have never brought myself to listen to them live as I'd assume they'd never be as good as their studio versions. But this is trully amazing! So true to the original even after so many years.

[@missyv8900]

🌏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Eldorado overture with I can't get it out of my head following is exquisite🌠

[@marksingingforasmile.8457]

Timeless songs from Electric light orchestra So glad you are still singing these song to us. Top Group.

[@unrulyjulie4382]

Poor Jeff had a bad cold, but he still did a stellar job! He's the best!!!

[@krollpeter]

We hear that. He is usually far far better. I would not mind a 10 or 20 minutes mini-symphony based on this theme. Or even better: A grand London Symphonic Orchestra evening with all bells and whistles, all his best friends playing with him, a real choir, etc. You guys get what I mean. The statue for a great musical man.

[@Milkdromida]

@@krollpeter I don't know what you mean about a 10 or 20-minute mini-symphony. Since that is what the whole Eldorado album is. If you haven't listened to all of it, you really should.

[@krollpeter]

@@Milkdromida "I would not mind a 10 or 20 minutes mini-symphony based on this theme." - this opening theme. I own the original vinyl from 197x. And it still sounds great.

[@PatRyan-my8ep]

One word brilliant ❤

[@drmichaellum]

This and Telephone Line are two of my favorite ELO songs!

[@getdusty1]

I hope upon all hope that he thanks the Good Lord every night that he is still as healthy as he is. To be even alive at this age, let alone having the great health he has is amazing!!!

[@jackcover67]

One of my all-time favs :-)

[@divermike8943]

Oh a band I fell in love with soo long ago. ELO was truely a Light Orchestra, that was Electric. The blending of Classical Music and Rock was done before, but ELO did so without being pretentious staying complex, beautiful and fun. I love, absolutely love the progressive rock of the 70s but ELO was different than all of those other prog rock bands. Not entirely pop music, not entirely super serious progress rock, just an excellent blend of both.

[@PRAWNBALL11]

Why are they dragging their feet in giving this man the knighthood he truly deserves for all he's done for popular music? I just hope they don't leave it until it's too late.

[@andgate2000]

I agree

[@hugoluishumoffe]

Esto es fantástico para recordar ELO .

[@JeffLynnesELO2025Tour]

Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra from The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame site: "Picking up where the Beatles left off, ELO expanded the concept of great melodies, epic song structures and grand orchestrations. ELO added an exciting mix of elements into rock and roll, including disco rhythms and electronic studio wizardry. Imagine a marriage of tuneful, rocking pop songs with instruments from the symphonic realm, and you’ve got the blueprint for what made ELO one of the most popular groups of the 1970s and beyond. Jeff Lynne, ELO’s vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, co-founder, and frontman, conceived of a rarefied musical sphere in which cellos coexisted with guitars, and where classically tinged progressive rock intersected with hook-filled, radio-friendly pop. The result: ELO’s boundary-breaking approach to rock that resonated with a global audience, both as a pop singles act and as album-oriented rockers with deep-track appeal".

[@boydrc]

Saw ELO in Melbourne Australia and would see them again and again.. Brilliant performance and the songs never age. So Glad to have grown up with this music. The first band that took me on a ride over many years. Would Bev Bevan and Jeff Lynn please make up and play together again with Kelly, Mick, and the crew...

[@JeffLynnesELO2025Tour]

Sorry to tell you that half of the Band members are in Heaven. But Jeff is Touring with fantastic musicians...The very best live!

It was Louis Clark that composed ELO's orchestral pieces from 1974 onwards, not Jeff Lynne. Unfortunately Louis died earlier in 2021.

[@ottaviomini6390]

All compose by Jeff lynne. Sorry not louis Clark . arragiament by jeff lynne Richard tandy and louis Clark. Sorry

[@dogboner2001]

It's as if those two pieces were always meant to be together.

It's one piece of music, Jeff wrote the whole Eldorado album as one continuous symphony from start to finish. x

Instead of the privileged picks of an audience, there should be children and proper musicians in that audience. Those clapping were told to by prompt boards then would be looking forward to champers and canapes afterwards (which is why they were paid to be there butdon't know what they were listening too, or clapping about).
