Jeff Lynne － Acoustic

[@derweasel]

Even after all these years, I still love these songs. And Jeff Lynne's voice is still SUPERB. His song writing brought so much music to me that still affects me in such a unique way and makes me sing along.

[@speacialops619]

RIP Richard Tandy part of music history

[@minimcewen]

...some of the best music ever made.

[@jefflevoir6127]

Probably the GREATEST all around musical talent there has ever been !!👍

[@KCRockola]

Can't argue with John Lennon!

[@riffrite333]

Along with Paul McCartney.

[@KCRockola]

He writes the songs, he arranges the songs, he sings the songs, he plays guitar on the songs and he produces the songs. And he does all of these on the highest level. A true music legend.

[@segifford1]

What a supreme joy it is to hear and watch Lynne and Tandy perform together. And Jeff's voice is blissful!

The acoustic version with Richard Tandy is amazing, Jeff's voice just keep getting smoother and smoother as he gets older. Such a joy to listen to.

[@dawnkindnesscountsmost5991]

I've been a fan of Electric Light Orchestra in its assorted forms and lineups since the summer of 1975, age 8, and I am still and continually blown away by their music, their fantastic songs, and Jeff Lynne's beautiful voice. _WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!_ 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

I came back to watch this after hearing of the passing of Richard Tandy. So incredibly sad to lose this man. What a musical genius that helped create some of the greatest songs. This is a priceless and treasured video of these two!

Jeff Lynne is probably one of the few people that I can listen to with absolutely no instruments at all. His voice is INCREDIBLY unique. I'm so glad he rose to the level that he has so the rest of us could hear what he offered up to the world. The world is a much a better place with Jeff Lynne in it. He is super talented in every way! Long-live you Jeff!

Jeff should sell copies of this on dvd or cd. I would definitely buy 2 or 3 copies. I love his voice, his style, and everything else about him, and this has his most valuable asset, Richard Tandy, who no one else will ever compare with. RIP Richard. Long life Jeff. ❤❤

Wonderful tribute to 2 incredible musicians.

This man's music took me from a bad childhood in the 1970's, tucked away in my bedroom hiding with Eldorado, Fire On High and Face The Music in my ears wondering how does a human being do this ? I later went on to become a singer-songwriter which would never have happened without Jeff Lynne. Then 2 weeks ago I flew over to New York from Scotland to see him live in Madison Square Garden to book end my gratitude and love, thank you a million times across a million hours, Lee

Jeff Lynne seems to get a bare fraction of the recognition his absolute all round musical genius deserves. He is a true savant.

[@gregm6652]

Saw Jeff Lynn's ELO on tour right before COVID kicked off, guy's greatly underrated as a producer, songwriter and performer. Tandy was the Richard's to Jeff's Jagger. Sad to see all this talent leaving us. R.I.P.

Lynne. The only guy who has a voice that sounds double tracked naturally. Amazing!

[@denisej4813]

It's ironic that the man behind the Electric Light Orchestra, the very epitome of synth-rock, is even more impressive with just an acoustic guitar and piano accompanying him. A true genius, and astute enough to surround himself with great musicians like Richard Tandy. Long may he continue to make great music!

Jeff Lynne is the most talented Music God ever. He will be 71 in 2018 and his voice is Gold. All his live concerts sound as good if not better than the original recordings...Not many bands and musicians can match that. Just have a listen from Jeff Lynne's ELO at Wembley Stadium June 24 2017... Can't wait to see Jeff Lynne's ELO on the 2018 Europe and North American Tour. I just received my tickets for LA , NY and Toronto Canada. It will be awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think because he didn't live the rockstar crazy life with drugs and alcohol ...I think he just lived like a normal person who played music and that's why he's so healthy and his voice sounds so great.. he didn't get caught up in the madness ..it's obvious that .."what you see is what you get"

One of the things I love about the acoustic performance of telephone line is that although these two guys have been together for decades and know each other so well, the brilliant Richard Tandy smiles as he plays during the song as though in awe of what he is actually a part of. It's almost as if he is feeling "Am I really a part of this?!" I can sort of play telephone line on the piano in the style of Richard, but I have given up trying to sing like Jeff.
