JEFF LYNNE'S ELO - ROll Over Beethoven | reaction

[@lesblatnyak5947]

They greatest rock and roll song ever. 67yrs people have been tearing up the dance floor to Chuck's genius. Jeff does a fine rendition.

[@RobertSmith-iw2kb]

Your reaction is what everyone's should be when they here this great version.bravo.😅

[@JeffLynnesELOFan]

Best live band in the world! Long live Jeff Lynne's ELO! On Tour this Summer and fall of 2024 in the US and Canada.

[@rleigh1223]

With that smile and those movements, you would fit right in with most of their crowds. Always enjoy it when the reactor actually gets taken into the performance. No words needed.

[@jornspirit]

...yes, it was absolutely fab-tastic, and all the guys on stage 'gave it what they got'... the crowds in ELO concerts are among the most happy ones, I've ever seen... and so sweet seeing you joining them, Sarah... it was as if you were there with them... the song is based on a theme by Beethoven, called 'Ode to Joy' - and thats exactly what this was - Classic meets Rockn' Roll... doesn't get better than that! 💖🎼😎

[@philipcarrell3945]

You looked like you were having a blast listening to this! That's the way E.L.O. should be enjoyed!

[@SarahDengler]

Totally did!

[@birdwellbrown5391]

You are possibly the most delightful person on the planet. What a great reaction to a great song!

[@Isleofskye]

Great Reaction Sarah to a wonderful band performing a great song LIVE in London. What more could anyone want? :)

[@keefmack]

There is a very cool version of E.L.O. doing this song in 1978 where the cello’s and everyone goes wild on stage. Love that version

[@donhanlon7121]

Where is this version from and is it released officially on DVD?💎🎸🕺👌

[@glendaragan5297]

It’s wonderful to see how happy that you😊

[@davidanderson8469]

You have a delightful manner and smile!! That's the best version in many covers of that song Jeff has done. Come to SoCal Jeff!!

[@maryhuhnke8496]

"This was Perfection!!" Awesome Reaction!!! Ya Definitely get a workout with this Song!!!

[@jorhanson8583]

One of the greatest rock 'n roll songs ever written. You definitely got the vibe, Sarah.

[@keymack2477]

Hey Sarah, lovely reaction! This is a pretty hard one to sit still through, isn't it? One small thing I need to point out, however, is that the band's full name is Electric Light Orchestra, and they shorten this to ELO, which is pronounced one letter at a time (E. L. O.) not Ello or Eelo! Stay cool, and I am already looking forward to your next reaction!

[@arthurdent4344]

Good to see one of the late performances of Keyborder Richard Tandy, who passed away some weeks ago. Including some solo parts.

[@scottcrosby-art5490]

Jeff Lynne is easily one of the greatest musicians this country has produced

[@leoiori9675]

Probably the greatest my friend ☺️

[@normankennith7919]

i have an album by 'the idle race' for whom jeff lynne was the lead singer!!!

[@AttorneyBCollins]

England! Maybe you are posting from over the pond.

[@michaelchilcott210]

Brilliant Band I Have Loved Their Music Right Back From The 70'S Great Review.

[@davidpost428]

This flat out rocks! Jeff Lynne later joined Roy Orbison, George Harrison, Tom Petty and Bob Dylan to be the super group The Travelling Wilburys. Great reaction!

[@CaptGage]

This is my fave Roll Over Beethoven of all. The solos kick, especially live! BTW, Sarah, you're a cutie.

[@marthayoung2308]

THAT WAS EPIC LIT!!! Makes you want to get up and move! Lol. I always loved this one. Deep dive on them is worth it. Thank you for your reaction.

[@richtensail]

[@ronvarty-GadgetsAdventures]

My God is was joyful watching you discover this great song! You made my day Sarah.😊

[@MrPazzerz]

You look like you wore yourself out listening to this one. So much fun.

[@dagmar.6954]

ELO was formed in the 70's-80's & mixed modern rock pop songs with classical overtones. Jeff Lynne wrote most of their songs. They had a lot of great hits such as "Showdown", "Can't Get It Out Of My Head", "Evil Woman", "Strange Magic", "Livin' Thing", "Telephone Line", "Rockaria!", "Do Ya", "Turn to Stone", "Sweet Talkin' Woman", "Mr. Blue Sky", "Wild West Hero", "Don't Bring Me Down", "Shine A Little Love", "Last Train To London", "Confusion", "Hold On Tight", "Twilight", "The Way Life's Meant To Be", "Here Is The News", "Ticket To The Moon" etc.

[@randyobrien2836]

So much great music when I was growing up.

[@georgesams4936]

It doesn't get any better!

[@leoiori9675]

Just meet Sir Jeff Van Lynnehoven 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@michaeldriver5703]

If you like ELO live - do yourself a real favour and buy their DVD album (with double CD ) entitled "Wembly or bust" You will love the precision of their live performance.

[@Ledzeppelin1977]

He is still performing

[@keithmontague6417]

I've saved your video absolutely love your reaction keep the enthusiasm going it suits you. Keep it up You are lovely

[@bluesman3232]

First heard this in the summer of 1973 while living in OKC, OK. It's still just as good as it was that first time!

[@Mark13091961]

Although Ive not heard this particular live version before, it caused the exact same reaction in you as it did in me 45 years ago when first hearing it lo, - ELO released this as a single circa 1975 and the studio version is superb too. I think they played this when I saw them live in Birmingham circa 1981. An absolute foot tapper ! The original dates back to about 1955 by the legendary Chuck Berry and is considered one of the pioneer rock n roll tracks. In the lyrics is Berry basically saying this is the new way to play music so please Mr Beethoven, time to move on or ‘Roll over’ lol The string parts at the start are stole/adapted from Beethovens 5th symphony. Rock on Sarah 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

1973, to be precise, Mark. January 12th. Recorded in '72.

[@Mark13091961]

@Cosmo Kramer i stand corrected. Fabulous song

[@PeterDay81]

A great Brummie Beat band. The Brummie dialect, or more formally the Birmingham dialect, is spoken by many people in Birmingham, England. Can i surgest Jeff Lynne's ELO - Telephone Line (Live at Wembley Stadium) it is just class.Cheers and all the best from England and stay safe.

[@christiandengler6689]

and sounds exactly like a Badischer accent in good old Germany!

[@donhanlon7121]

Peter do you know which venue this is and is it released officially?💎🎸🕺👌

[@PeterDay81]

@@donhanlon7121 Sorry no.Electric Light Orchestra's (ELO) elaborate eight-minute reworking of "Roll Over Beethoven", on the album ELO 2 in 1973, included an opening musical quote from Beethoven's Fifth Symphony and interpolations of material from the symphony's first movement into Berry's song and Peter Gunn theme in the background.There are some great versions live on KZbin,cheers and all the best.

[@GinMae]

Yep - give it up for Jeff Lynne (and the orchestra!- esp. boogie-woogie piano!) - and also for Chuck Berry's version.. thank you, Sarah! (PS - you dance, girl!)

[@la_old_salt2241]

What a fun reaction!

[@stephenriddell8376]

ELO Electric Light Orchestra

[@marioislas510]

This lovely girl surely could be the one that Jeff sings "She said, well well well, rock´n´roll is king" !!!

[@anoldfogeysfun]

It was a good performance given at Hyde Park, Sarah . . . However, in my view, with it being done in a wide open park, I'd still have to say that the last Webley gig "Sir" Jeff played was a much better one . . . (Yes, I call him Sir Jeff as he should have been knighted and made a Sir long ago by now for his long and outstanding musical career - just as so many others have who did got one for far less!) - Anyway, I think the acoustics of Wembley itself gave the show a lot more pizazz to it sound wise - and of course, he could have his spaceship there, too . . . So, if you want to have a go at another, or more, ELO ones - then look for his last Wembley Live Show - and you can choose just about anything from it really. Rockaria, Turn To Stone, Livin' Thing, Telephone Line, etc, etc, and so on, ad infinitum . . . as they all sounded great there. So, have fun and enjoy them all . . . !

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

Welcome to the ELO fan club! This was great, but I suggest in the future that you react to the studio version of songs first. Then for those songs you love most, if you want to do a second reaction to them performing it live, that would be welcomed by your viewers, I'm sure. Next from ELO, try, "Evil Woman", you'll love it. (Again, the studio version.) Cheers!

[@SarahDengler]

Thank you 🙂

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

@@SarahDengler You're welcome. :D

[@PaulOutdoors]

This is a phenomenal banger from Jeff. The man is a genius and still touring until the Covid scam struck. A wonderful reaction. Thank you 👍😊

[@PhlintheartGloomgold]

The first four notes, three short and one long, are the basis for the Morse code. Three dots and a dash is the letter V in Morse code. The Allies used it in WWII. The V stood for victory.

[@gazza8127]

Hi Sarah, loved you reaction, an absolutely phenomenal arrangement of the timeless Chuck Berry rock n roll classic, Jeff and ELO are living legends, here's another classic to rock your socks off to from their 1976 album masterpiece 'A New World Record' & a big favourite of mine, "Rockaria" performed in 2016 at the Glastonbury Festival kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXKtmouZjs2SrcU Have fun

[@snowdog03]

Almost as good as Marty McFly playing Johnny Be Good. 😎

[@snowdog03]

I remember seeing this on TV... VH-1 maybe.

[@waynesmith5442]

If this song doesn't make you move, you are dead inside

[@clarkgeiger4988]

you go girl keep rocking

[@Royal_BLT]

That is Wembley Stadium, capacity - 90,000 people !

[@EvboiMC]

I'm pretty sure this is from the Hyde Park performance

[@sanandaallsgood673]

Sarah, I cannot recommend strong enough for you to listen to 'The Sounds of Silence' by Disturbed. They did such a great job on it that Paul Simon 'gave' the song to them!

[@shemanic1]

If Chuck Berry had E.L.O's recording standards imagine how great his original would sound

[@randyhodges8782]

The old fart on the keys tore it up.

[@donhanlon7121]

Sarah love your reaction but where is this show from and what year is it?♥️☘️

[@georgesams4936]

It's a cover but the Best
