[@ryanboyce3365]

They always had the strings…. and the synths…. And the best acoustic guitars… And Jeff Lynne they have Jeff Lynne.

[@deanj846]

Very much a musicians musician,and a funny bloke...

[@ravenwind1062]

Yeah, it's kinda in the name, Electric, Light (referring to the size of the orchestra as opposed to luminosity), Orchestra. All the sounds you see/hear live were there to begin with.

[@emcarnahan]

Came here to say the same ☺️💗

[@JohnMillerwashere]

And they have Jeff Lynne.

[@surfpsych]

Strings oh yeah. That "O" is Orchestra.

[@johnhmaloney]

The strings have always been a big part of ELO's sound. They hit their peak during the disco era and the strings definitely helped them fit in and get a lot of airplay amidst all of that. Of course, Jeff Lynne's brilliant songwriting has always been their main draw. I hope you check out the album you were gifted. I think you'll really enjoy it. :)

[@georux6783]

Thanks for stating that. Yes, the band always had incredible sound, and a big part was from the string instruments. Full orchestra.

[@4ftGodzilla]

The name Electric Light *Orchestra* was no random choice. 😉 I always found their fusion of sounds so unique and appealing.

[@TheHsan22]

An Orchestra with strings, who’d have thunk it.

[@kimzwolinski9919]

My favorite ELO song is Telephone Line but they don’t have any bad songs ❤

[@timjensen4996]

This was my favorite song also

[@carolmartin4413]

Love all elo songs but 'All over the World' is probably my favorite.

[@Toasterfinal5]

I would agree, not a single bad song.

[@wembleyford]

I'd venture their cover of Roll Over Beethoven is a complete dogs breakfast and entirely misses the point of 50's pop song. But other than that, they don't have a bad song.

[@t0dd000]

Definitely his best song.

[@Daehawk]

ELO is one of the most amazing bands ever. Jeff is a genius.

[@paisliesplace3921]

I would always get excited when this song came on the radio when I was a kid. I still love this song to this day!!! I love Jeff Lynne's voice. ELO such a great band!!! What a treat, thank you Beth!!!

[@rickhawk22]

Their name gives you an indication that orchestral sound was an integral part of their sound from the beginning Electric Light Orchestra. It’s why they are so popular. Just a perfect blend of orchestral, rock and blues.

[@firedoc5]

What can you say, it's Jeff Lynne and ELO. IMO, ELO has the most songs that can get stuck in your head, this one included. Love how they use so many elements in their songs, especially the strings and cow bell. (More cow bell!) Their "Don't Bring Me Down" (my favorite of theirs), "All Around the World", and "Telephone Line" are ones to really get into. Another great song with strings is "Drops of Jupiter" by Train.

[@auralfixxation6702]

This is definitely a band I appreciated far more as I got older. I feel sort of foolish for not getting them when I was younger. Actually, a great band.

[@windymiller6908]

It was cool not to like ELO back in the day with many of my friends. Me, I really liked ELO, at least up to, and including A New World Record, but they lost me after that. Saw them live twice...on the Eldorado tour fiollowed by the Face The Music tour. The latter is probably my favourite album by them.

[@ericolson326]

I initially misinterpreted "I was gifted an album by them" as meaning the band itself gave you an album you'd never listened to. 😆

[@kayserchishti7303]

I was there june 2017, 3 tier stage right Beth. My favourite band when i was young in the seventies.

[@yarsheets4572]

Strings are a signature part of ELO. Thank you for doing this reaction. I couldn't believe you'd never heard this, and then you realized that you had! They have so many great songs. I hope you do more reactions to them. Of course you have reacted to Traveling Wilburys, so you've reacted to Jeff Lynn there.

[@brucetimmerman7092]

You know Jeff Lynne was in the traveling Wilburys right?

[@mikebunner3498]

Beth better late than never!!!! This is a good upbeat song!! Yes as I recall ELO always had strings.... One of the first to do it as a matter of routine. A great rock band!!!!!! It is real cool that so many where singing along with Jeff. Thank YOU!!!!!

[@kevinfryman7143]

ELO has always had strings on the albums. You should give a listen to Livin' Thing Jeff Lynne's ELO Live with Rosie Langley and Amy Langley, Glastonbury 2016. The opening violin solo is amazing...

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

Respectfully disagree, brother. I think it's better at this concert, Wembley '17. Not just her intro, but the band's whole performance.

[@greatwhitewing]

Jeff is an amazing talent. Brilliant producer, songwriter and performer

[@chris_debian5368]

'A New World Record' is essential listening.

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

The album's a perfect 10. It would be an 11 if Jeff had added just one more verse and one more round of chorus to, "Above The Clouds", a beautiful but far too short song.

[@jon-paulfilkins7820]

ELO got its name as they were Electric, and original line up features a "Light Orchestra" (basically a string quartet). A Feature they kept up to the album 'Time' The Album Discovery was nicknamed "Disco Very" by some of the band, but after Roy Wood left (the first album) there was certainly a dash of the danceable in some of their songs Peaking with Discovery.

[@leebatt7964]

Jeff Lynne is one of the greatest song writers ever, on par with Lennon and McCartney. And yes, the strings were on the record, if Jeff Lynne wanted strings, he got strings, no matter the cost. You need to review “Telephone Line”, he hit it out of the park on that track.

[@coinneachmaclellan3121]

There was nobody like them...I saw them early to mid-seventies with the orchestral elements incorporated into the band. They mixed '50s rock 'n' roll with classical, disco, funk, etc. They had a bass player named Kelly Groucutt who shared vocals with Lynne and sang the falsetto parts on tour particularly on my favorite song, "Rockaria" which was a perfect blend of rock 'n' roll and opera/classical...definitely worth checking out.

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

"Rockaria", is a vastly underrated ELO gem. It's such a great concept lyrically, and it features Jeff's "'50s rocker" vocals at their absolute best.

[@5HlNOBI]

Jeff Lynne is a gift to every music lover. He had a vision, and he's seeing it through in perfect form.

[@buixrule]

Jeff Lynne is an icon in the music industry. And I mean that in the truest sense of the word. He actually was involved in producing some Beatles tunes back in the day as I understand. He's a friggin musical genius really.

Wow, what a hauntingly beautiful rendition of that song! There are some deep emotions behind that.

[@paulmorris8762]

yes they always have strings - watch as I said Beethoven's 5th/Roll Over Beethoven

[@paulmorris8762]

they had strings on the records

[@tomdomer]

I've clicked on the link you've posted. Could not find your cover of Evil Woman.

[@baumi-metal9123]

I guess you already heared Jeff Lynne- He was in the Traveling Wilburys too with Geroge Harrison, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan and Tom Petty! Greets from Germany and have fun.

[@brianorzel1873]

ELO has always had the amazing strings!

[@mausermike9188]

Yes, always strings. This sounds so close to the original studio version. Love seeing all these old people in the audience singing along, wait a minute, that means I am old too! Oh well, we are a blessed generation to have grown up with such great music!

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

LOL...I had the same delayed reaction to the crowd demographics when I first saw this video!

[@KenSimon-v3m]

4:40 "Orchestra" is in the name for a reason. Grew up listening to this band. HUGE sound.

[@markmcelligott2542]

Look into Jeff Lynne's music history... He's been a song writer for many other big name artists as well... The guy is a hit machine

[@grahamkemble3917]

Listen to Eldorado Overture and it flows into Can’t Get it Out of My Head. The overture has strong classical overtones with a lot of strings.

[@Shnordy]

Jeff Lynne. His genius keeps on giving.

[@smallmj2886]

You played Jeff Lynne before when you reacted to the Travelling Wilburys. And I'm sure you've heard ELO's Mr. Blue Sky before, it regained its popularity after it was featured in the opening of Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Some of their other best songs are Don't Bring Me Down, Telephone Line, and Turn to Stone.

[@raudivevoices]

Please do Mr. Blue Sky by ELO, Jeff Lynne

[@LebronPhoto1]

They usually have strings. That is why they are called the Electric "Light Orchestra", Meaning electric guitars, bases etc. and a light orchestra.

[@MrDoneboy]

Jeff is also the engineer, producer, and the main songwriter of the band!

[@another3997]

ELO were very successful and rather unique. They had a string of top ten singles and albums in the UK. Jeff Lynne is a songwriter, singer, multi‐instrumentalist and successful music producer, and the driving force behind the band after Roy Wood left early on. He's written for, performed on and produced albums for Tom Petty, George Harrison, Roy Orbison and Paul McCartney amongst others. He co‐wrote, played, sang and co‐produced both Travelling Wilburys albums. Not a bad resumé by anybody's standards.

[@beaandjuno]

Jeff Lynn is brilliant in ELO but his producing and being Bffs with George Harrison was legendary, from Cloud 9 to Brain Washed to being a Traveling Wilbury.

[@peterbainton9908]

Beth, I was lucky enough to be at this concert at Wembley Stadium. It was the best concert I have seen, and the enjoyment from everyone and the band members was fantastic.

[@Neilsmu]

Ummm Beth. This is the same Jeff Lynne. Of ELO… but also latterly of The Travelling Wiburys who you’ve reacted to already ? But shh. Just between ourselves 😄

[@drohegda]

Beth that falsetto into a mix comes from one of Jeffs music Idol's Roy Orbison👍In my opinon i dint think ELO ever did a bad song they are Phenomenal check all there other hits, great channel. 🎸🎹🇺🇲👌😎

[@JonathanSparks-ht4vq]

ELO is a band created with Strings attached. Bev Bevan former drummer of ELO

[@nickfindsgold9788]

Apologies Beth, I would have been watching earlier but there is this outstanding cover of Wicked Game on Spotify thats just 🤯🔥 As for ELO they were musically so interesting, I was born in the early 70's and as I got older my Mum's record collection was just fantastic. ELO , Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Doors , Fleetwood Mac. The 70s were eclectic with incredible musicianship Checkout Mr Blue Sky or Sweet Talkin Woman ... great ELO songs that everyone knows but never remembers 😂

[@selwynchin7396]

Evil woman. Can't say enough about this song. This song rocks with a cause

[@geoff6942]

Jeff was 69 when he made this concert. How he could he sound as good as the original, is a source of wonderment to me.

[@pinkpolly88]

Please listen to ELO - they are incredible. Fun fact: my first concert ever was ELO in 1981! I'm so proud of that fact.

[@karlsmith2570]

"Do They Normally Have Strings On Their Songs" They actually do have the strings on all of their tracks, Beth

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

Not exactly, Karl. They had strings from the beginning and throughout their heyday of the '70s. But by their 1981 concept album, Time, they had foregone strings in favor of the latest synth technology that had become so good at replicating the sound of strings. It was just so much easier on Jeff in the studio. However, in this century with his re-emergence of the band, he's returned to his roots with live strings at shows, and even in the studio which he plays himself. ps~Dont' sleep on, Time, though. It's an extraordinary concept LP, even if it's a departure musically from the classic ELO of the previous decade.

[@lhpl]

Actually, not _all_ , as Cosmo already has said. (Hello Cosmo!) In fact, Jeff even made a point of this in the lyrics to _Loser Gone Wild_ (1983, album Secret Messages), which had the lines: "I don't mind if violins don't play / I won't listen to them anyway / I don't care what people say." And strings certainly weren't new to Jeff by the time he formed ELO: _The Lady Who Said She Could Fly_ from 1968 (The Idle Race) has plenty. I really would love to see somebody react to that song one day.

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

@@lhpl Yo, lhp is in da house!

[@suzyshopper49]

You know how some lead singers lose their voice after getting older , he still sounds the same even today .

[@Royal_BLT]

🇨🇦 You can't describe this as a mixture of 70's and 80's because it was released, just as you are hearing it, in 1975 !

[@toddb3226]

That man has one of the best voices in the world in my opinion. It's just "perfectly pure" for lack of a better word(s). You need to listen to their albums.. The Strings have always been there! Gotta listen to "Telephone Line" - it transitions from a somewhat distorted voice on a phone to the PURE perfect voice of Lynne. Great music

[@brettk143]

I believe the idea of ELO's sound was to try and explore what the Beatles might have evolved into had they not split up.

[@garystackhouse5787]

RARELY a good idea to make a live version of a song your first listen. Live versions of pop/rock songs are almost always the band attempting (but nor quite succeeding) to recreate their studio sound... having said that, ELO's small string section. (which has ALWAYS been a part of the band, hence the "Orchestra" part of the name) has always done an amazing job recreating their sound on stage.

[@keymack2477]

Thanks you for another awesome reaction!! The one song you must not miss is "Roll Over Beethoven" - the best cover ever of the great Chuck Berry classic! Live is best!!

[@kajlennartsson4234]

Hi Beth. In the 70ths ELO Had two on Cello(Hugh McDowell and Melvyn Gale) and one on Violin (Mik Kaminski). And orchestera was conducted by Louis Clark. Thank you Beth for a fun and interesting Reaction video.

[@gregplatt197]

They started out with strings from the very start of the group! It's in the name of the band - Electric Light ORCHESTRA!

[@xxTICxxTOCxx]

Jeff Lynne was also a 'friend/collaborator/founder' on the Traveling Wilburys, with Roy Orbison, George Harrison, Tom Petty and Bob Dylan. He's such a great musical talent.

[@Music_Light_Show]

I played this song on repeat at my divorce party

[@jelly-baby]

Love ELO, hope that no one says they or Jeff Lynne are underrated... I have a happy running playlist that is full of ELO 😊😊😊

[@efricha]

Beth, they did use strings in studio and live. This performance is by-the-book almost identical to the album.

[@luissevero2968]

Eu sou louco por estás música a doro demais parabéns pelo seu trabalho 👋👋👋👋👋👋 parabéns pelo vídeo muito legal 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋 Pará bens pra está banda suseso sempre 👋👋👋👋👋 vai vendo Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🚛👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍✌️💓💓

[@IfInDoubt..]

"This feels very orchestral" Hmm Electric Light Orchestra... I wonder why

[@henkzondag3703]

You've already reacted to 2 Jeff Lynne's songs. The Travelling Willburries.

[@ThePersistentRumor]

Did you just ask if the Elective Light Orchestra had orchestral instruments on their records? And you mentioned you did "research", right? That's hilarious. :-D

[@tbear6812]

I am surprised noone mentions the album XANADU from the motion picture made back in 1980. Olivia Newton John and ELO. One of the first lp:s i ever got.

[@hawkmaster381]

The older fans represent the age of those who grew up with this music. I'm the same age.

[@marcbennetts216]

Beth: I enjoy your videos ! have you ever reacted to anything by the Traveling Wilburys? Every song on their two albums are awesome. The band is Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, George Harrison, Bob Dylan and Jeff Lynne and I forgot who their drummer was. Talk about a supergroup!

[@NickBR57]

Good grief Beth!! How could you not have heard ELO? Many excellent tracks (and I deny any bias from being at university in Birmingham in the 79s)...

[@davidwilliams8457]

The clue is in the name. THE ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA. Yes they always have an orchestra.

[@joepimentel306]

One of the Traveling Wilbury's along with George Harrison, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison and Bob Dylan

[@terrystewart7675]

CHeck out Telephone Linefrom same wembly concert. You'll love it.

[@JayRaven442]

Check out Telephone Line at Live at Wembley also! Masterful performance.

[@Baldeson]

Two of the girls playing strings are the Langley Sisters. They have their own recordings on KZbin. Check them out.

[@gildavis8266]

If you whip out that old album and listen to it you will discover just how close it is to what you just heard. I wondering if King Charles will knight Jeff Lynn. He really deserves the honor.

[@laraismyname821]

Yep as others have said, the strings were always there. That's the "O" in "ELO". I think there are only a handful of their songs that *don't* feature some strings in them (definitely the exception).

[@erikmaronde2244]

This live performance is at least as good as the studio versions. Wall of Sound but chilled. Amazing music!

[@simply3141592654]

Other songs to check out: Living Thing, Telephone Line, Mr Blue Sky, Down Bring Me Down,

[@leogothisoscar271]

Everyone should see ELO at least once. They have their live show down to an art form and I'd even go as far as to say they sound better live than on the albums. Jeff Lynn is still killing even though he's in his 70s and he is smart enough to have all that amazing talent backing him to pick up the where he needs them to now that he's older. I've seen older musicians that try to do everything they used and it suffers as a result, but ELO has it worked out perfectly.

[@ELOfanatic]

The strings are there right from the start. 99 percent of his songs have some sorts of strings in them. Especially the early songs. This particular version is from 2018, I believe so Jeff Lynne is the only original member left.

[@kevinL5425]

My god, they GAVE you an album??!! Was it signed?? OMG OMG OMG!

[@gigmcsweeney8566]

Re the strings, the clue's in the name of the band. You definitiely need to listen to more ELO, especially live. Jeff Lynn is a genius and the entire band are brilliant.

[@bradbailey1893]

Listen to Lynne with The Traveling Wilburys. Also, ELO sounds like the next stage for the Beatles had they stayed together.

[@MR-xb1jz]

Beth, I would like to suggest your reaction to David Bowie interpretation of Wild is the Wind. Best regards from Brazil.

[@kingstumble]

Jeff Lynne IS ELO. The other original members are no longer part of the band which is now made up of session musicians.

[@robmcgrath5202]

Their album Out of the Blue was the very first album I ever bought in 1977 when I was 14. It still hasn't gotten old. The strings are such an important part of their sound.

[@carlosgravy7966]

Strings always. Electric Light ORCHESTRA!

[@simonfootie6255]

Yes always had strings This was frommthe wembley show 2017

[@DavidGlover-s7x]

First thing is to admit you have a problem. Now you've listened to them, no excuses!

[@FUBAR1986]

She’s asking about the strings when they’re called electric light Orchestra😮😅

[@charliegarnett9757]

I think if you say the name…Electric Light Orchestra… it pretty says YES they always had strings 😊

[@milesteg3972]

You really need to review Telephone Line. Jeff's vocals stand out on thhat.

[@PatRyan-my8ep]

Welcome to elo world and the genius jeff lynne great review thank you 😊😊❤

[@alexdrummer2175]

Ok Beth. I subscribed because I really enjoy your reactions, and your knowledge. Very few people react to Sass Jordan. A Canadian singer that really has some gnarly pipes! May I suggest her song Pissing Down, or High Road Easy? I guarantee you will be amazed. BTW I really enjoy your singing also. You're a very good.

[@kallsop2]

Yes, as others have mentioned ELO used strings on a lot of their music from the beginning of the group.

[@beaandjuno]

Honey lamb, what is the name of the band? What does the O stand for? Yes, they had a full orchestra from day 1.

[@ioanmullholland2489]

shame on you for never listening to their albums. they are still rocking it and filling stadiums.

[@peterbreughel4440]

Strings, yes, synths, yes, even an opera singer on the iconic track 'Rockaria'.

[@susannehouse3857]

You always got virtually a whole orchestra with ELO……….

[@raymondlong3024]

Thus the word "Orchestra" in the name, yes they traveled, played and recorded as an orchestra
