Love this group. ELO had their biggest hits 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 "Roll Over Beethoven", "Showdown", "Can't Get It Out Of My Head", "Evil Woman", "Strange Magic", "Livin' Thing", "Do Ya", "Rockaria!", "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" etc.

Iron Maiden for me but I was surprised to hear Uncle Steve say ELO 1986 was the best performance he's ever seen. They really were that good.

Jeff Lynne. Remember that name. He's a genius in every musical way. Mr Blue Sky is another masterpiece. If you do a reaction to that song, make sure it's the full/long version.

If you think THIS version is good, you should definitely check out the studio version. Not sure how old Jeff was during this concert, but, usually, singers voices lose something over the years as they age. And I noticed Jeff didn't hit the high notes in this performance. He chose less difficult notes. Still sounds wonderful, but definitely not as amazing as the studio version was back in the day.l Having said that, ELO was one of my favorite bands back in the day. I love watching young people today discovering how great much of the music was back in the period of about the mid 60s through the 70s. I had actual vinyl albums of ELO, Queen, the Eagles, Foreigner, Stevie Wonder, Boz Scaggs, etc. If you ever find yourself looking for something to react to, reach out -- I could give you hundreds of great songs from that era (and more recent as well) -- I STILL love music!

Jeff Lynne (who comes from my home town of Birmingham, UK) is a musical genius. E.L.O. had loads of great songs and they sounded just as good live (if not better) than they did on the studio versions. Jeff was still doing concerts just before the pandemic at the age of 70+. My favourite is 'All Over the World' which makes you want to sing and dance. He was also in the super group 'The Travelling Willburys' with George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan and Tom Petty.

Quite a few of the bands you react to have mostly older fans. They tend to be smaller and calmer. Not all, but I've been to Steely Dan, Boz Skaggs, Little Feat and Melissa E the ridge concerts in the last few years and they are markedly more calm. I too get anxiety in crowds. This may be one advantage to growing old.

Jeff Lynne's one of rock royalty (Big name to remember). Lynne is a songwriter and record producer. He is best known for being the co-founder of the rock band Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) which was formed in 1970. He has also worked, performed shoulder to shoulder with other greats such as Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Roy Orbison. This is a live performance "Electric Light Orchestra - Turn To Stone (1977) HD" this is from their 1977 album called "Out Of The Blue"

You may not know all the terminology, but your comprehension of the contribution and value of subtle things like elements of composition, or the various qualities of the arrangement, is unusually observant. You often--in your own words--state sophisticated views of artists that manage to accurately discern the reason d'etre of a given piece of music, or that artist's intent at that time, (by their own words in interviews about their production choices etc.). Driven by your joyous curiosity, you've turned yourself into a very astute listener in an age where most people never really listen to music as an activity--they just use it to soundtrack some other activity.
