If you have the chance to listen the recent "Wembley or Bust" it's actually better than the studio albums - the execution is astonishing. With the benefit of technology that wasn't available 45 years ago - they do the whole thing live - it's absolutely stunning". With a band / orchestra of that size I guess it had to be a venue as big as Wembley to make it worthwhile. And it's definitely worthwhile.

Back when this song came out, I was at my uncle’s house and my cousin was playing this song on a reel to reel tape. Some time after that, I had a chance to choose a tape to get from the Columbia House Record and Tape Club. I thought of this song, but thought it was “Turn to Stop”. I looked through the catalog for albums available in reel format, and came across this album with “Turn to Stone” on it. I took a chance that it was the correct album, and it was. And what a great album it was.

Violin was the "voice" of a lot of orchestral music, that's why fiddles are so popular in bluegrass - they add a voice without words.

They add so much to this song too, like imagine it without the violin. I cannot.

That smile across your face at the intro is every reason why I've listen them for 30 years and will do on my death bed.

Jeff Lynne wrote nearly all of the songs by E.L.O. In 1981 I joined the Royal Marine Commandos on my 17th birthday, I served for 34 years in the Royal Marine Commandos and other more specialised groups until I was invalided out after my last posting to Afghanistan. I grew up listening to bands like E.L.O., Queen and Thin Lizzy, and yes I saw them all Live :) !!! Myself and a fellow old timer in the Royal Marine Commandos used to sing their songs when we came under fire to calm the younger lads by taking their minds off the incoming fire, yes they thought we were nutcases. After we had finished our assignment or patrol and we had returned to base, either in Iraq or Afghanistan, we would sing E.L.O.s' song "I'm Alive". I also sang it at his funeral which put as smile on his widow's face. I recommend you listen to both "I'm Alive" and "Livin' Thing".

Oh yes, ELO, fantastic. There is a video on youtube by The Move, "California Man", with Jeff Lynne from ELO, and Roy Wood, who briefly joined Jeff Lynne in ELO , before going on to form Wizzard. I think "California Man" was made around the time that ELO was formed. Its great

So love this band. I've even disciplined myself to "sing" that rapid fire bridge in this song without taking a breath. Lol. Not quite as hard as it sounds.

I discovered ELO when I was in the 6th grade in 1976. I had this hot youth minister who was in to them. I bought every album out so I could talk with her about music. Love ELO

Remember how Boston’s spaceships are guitars? ELO’s spaceship is the top portion of a Wurlitzer jukebox- 2 top semicircle portions joined-
