REO Brothers - Mr. Blue Sky / Electric Light Orchestra

[@7yearfitness993]

When you see that dude sitting in front of his synthesizer with a guitar on his lap you know it’s gonna be a good one.

[@arahso8482]

My thoughts too

[@Revolver101-edgelord]

Its a vocoder not a synthesizer

Hi. I'm from Brazil and I think REO is the best cover band there is. I watch and appreciate everything they do. They could schedule a trip to Brazil, but don't take too long, as I'm 70 years old. I love when they do Beatles. Congratulations young people.

fui ver cover de "a day in the life" e de cara apareceu eles, desde então to vendo vários videos deles. Os caras são fodas!!

[@neorich59]

This is nothing short of stunning. I've heard these guys cover Beatles and Eagles stuff, but this is a whole new level of sophistication. As each section approached, I was wondering whether they'd nail it and, of course, they did. Great rendition of a Classic Song!

[@rokker101]

If any of the worlds top ELO tribute acts watch this they are going to quiver in their boots and end up as a bubbling mess of liquid on the floor and wonder how the hell five lads can perform to perfection a song LIVE in a small home music room that they can only achieve with at least 8 band members, a full PA and lighting system with back projection and an up front mixing engineer in a big auditorium ... this defies belief ... but you had better believe it folks because this is REAL and these lads are THE REAL DEAL!

These boys don't merely cover old tunes, they masterfully revive them in their original form.

[@suzettebavier4412]

Absolutely agree 👍🏼

[@MauroBrisola]

The most Beatles ELO song by one of the the best Beatles cover bands.

[@loriethomas169]

This song just can't help but make you feel happy. This band is remarkable

[@EarthtonesCymbals]

I am fully convinced that there is still hope for humanity now. Best wishes to everyone who discovers the secret to smiling through the pain. Music.

[@rokker101]

Lads ... looks as though you've really 'rocked the boat' and 'thrown a spanner in the works' with this one as many people were not expecting you to tackle a song like this that was recorded using a ton of equipment in a multi million pound studio using a myriad of musicians and penned by the great Geoff Lynne ... well I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT ... you have set the bar so high now that all other tribute bands worldwide will have to up their game now to get anywhere near you ... as usual you have delivered the goods 'par excellence' ... the comments and views so far speak for themselves ... RBF! ...REO BROTHERS FOREVER ... your far away friend and lifelong supporter ... Phil.

[@myrnacarandang1470]

Yes Phil John the brothers have earned well-deserved distinction and respect from discriminating music buffs.

[@raymondfligel3166]

I am running out of words to describe just how amazing the Reo Brothers are, WOW no bands take on ELO due to how much production Jeff Lynne has and can use. Now think 5 brothers in a room reproduce this song and do it to perfection I am just blown away. Reno, RJ, Raymart, Ralph, Roymark all i can say is thank you and WOW just the best band in the world!!!!!!!!!! God Bless Peace and Love

[@suzettebavier4412]

Probably my favorite comment 👍🏼

[@ronaldlepez544]

The Netherlands love these REO brothers too, knowing their backgrounds and hearing their talents, no they are NOT the original band, but they bring joy and good memories to so many!

[@orion2009md]

Not a bunch of people and instruments, but hey 5 brothers just did this masterpiece.... Can't get enough of it. Play button being abused all day all night with this song!

[@jerrybach1234]

ELO uses over a Dozen Musicians/vocalists to create this song, and you do it with Five Talented Men!! AMAZING!! All the Best in the Future!

[@neorich59]

I'm pretty sure that, from Face the Music onward, they used a full string orchestra and here, more than likely, a choir! 😉

[@charlest.342]

this group is just absolutely amazing

[@Shyniex339]

It is electric light orchestra after all.

I am simply blown away, Never seen a band (outside of ELO) do this.

[@bossleonie7658]

No joke just started raining as I put this on 😂. Awesome cover. Don’t bring me down would be a great song for you guys!!

[@lmx7197]

you made my day guys. Expectedly so coz ELO is what The Beatles would have sounded like in the '70's. John Lennon even said once that ELO is the son of the Beatles. This is the band that The Beatles most likely could've turned into, sonically speaking.

[@biggieed949]

Ain’t nothing better than a song by the REO Bros. Any song!!!

[@richardnguyen6359]

Ok so I'm just going to pretend that they saw the comment that I posted a while back suggesting that they do some ELO covers. This was absolutely FANTASTIC on all levels!!! PLEASE do more ELO!!!

[@BonkersAboutAlice]

REO playing ELO. Fantastic!

[@oscardegala8678]

They've said it all in the comments, it's another golden buzzer for me!!! Thank you for the music REO Bros!!!

Saying These lads are brilliant is an understatement

[@popupsinger]

awesome -its magical - i loveee it

[@virgilverzola6507]

They are of course the 'REO Brothers'. I called them more appropriately the ' Renaissance Band' because of their impeccable & perfect production of the classic songs of our time.

[@jackong6852]

5 brothers with basic instruments jamming in a room covering songs from multiple world class bands and doing justice to all their songs. Keep on jamming REO Brothers

No one beats the REO when covering songs of great bands who made a name in the 60s & 70s. The Reo brothers are all SELF-TAUGHT. Geniuses.

These guys are fantastic and a very tight and polished band. Their covers of the groups that they have done are the best that Ive ever heard.

[@larryhudman6011]

Is there anything these guys can't do ? Their talent is mind blowing !

[@fallwitch]

One thing I love about REO Brothers is they do such perfect covers and they do them on modern medium making them sound so clear and sharp. It’s like listing to the master tape of a classic. Just brilliant work.

[@eleanorchio7795]

I couldn't say this more perfectly

[@sandpquan]

If you liked "Chicago" and "Earth Wind and Fire" check out "Leonid and Friends". The instruments sound better than the original recording (if that's possible) and they sing very very very close to perfect too.

[@rogerk55]

Come on KZbin, there has to be something better than a "Thumbs Up" for these guys. This was simply awesome. Very well done. You continue to amaze and delight me. Keep up the great work.

I used to buy ELO albums when they were coming out, long time fan... and I have to say, this is GREAT!!

[@rjrusgloren56]

It is a mark of artistic growth when you as a band are not afraid to tackle more challenging arrangements such as this. What I like most is that most of your covers are anchored on very solid vocal harmonizations. As to those few who always dismiss you as mere cover band, I would not worry about them. Great singers and bands have been doing covers for ages and it is considered art. You will pay $500 to get into a world class symphony hall or opera house just to hear a world class band of musicians and singers trying their mighty best to do a COVER of a music composed and performed centuries ago. How else would we know about Mozart or Beethoven if people did not cover them?

[@loildagonzales9739]

It gave me goose bump for what you have said about the group. Cause I'm a fan as well and Filipino too. Thanks.

[@criscleofas]

Man that was spot on comment. I just realized it now what you said about COVERs

[@julydayrylle]

Totally agree 💯

[@isamarnavale8738]

Thank you very much sir for your accurate description of COVERS. My dad, who passed away 20 years ago did a lot of covers by playing big band music of Woody Hermann, Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, Roger Williams & others, on piano. That's how he earned his living, and how we learned this kind of music. Thank you for appreciating The REO Brothers!
