Amen !

I'm surprised the violins didn't catch on fire

I think Mountain had a great version of it too, a few years before this one.

Ed B yes, they did.

So True.

Factor in his producing, absolute GENIUS

and now, Former ELO Cellist Hugh McDowell Dead at 65 ultimateclassicrock.com/hugh-mcdowell-dead/

@@BoltRM Yes Artie, I believe it was cancer that killed Hugh in November 2018. The second cellist in this clip is Colin Walker, he was soon to be replaced by Hugh who'd returned to ELO from Wizzard. Colin wanted to spend more time with his family, ELO's arduous touring schedule was taking it's toll on Colin's home life, so he decided to leave the band. Hugh felt that he didn't get the chance to play enough cello with Wizzard, Roy Wood had him playing more Moog synthesiser than his beloved cello so he decided to return to ELO to get more cello work. R.I.P. Hugh McDowell.

I thought that was Mik Kaminski on violin?

@@markwise9138 Mik Kaminski would end up replacing Wilf later in the year

Wilf wasn't in the band long and they didn't miss a step with Mik Kaminski on violin.

Freddy Jefferson true Lol, sometimes I have to check if it's not Stevie Ricks doing his impression of Jeff!

Love the rawness of the strings.

You mean this version of Chuck Berry's finest tunes

I was 10. A major musical impact on my life. Still got everything on my in-car MP3 player. 👍

and to me, Mr Berry is the REAL King of Rock and Roll, not that other guy :)

ELO kind of took it and made it theirs. But they must bow to the true Daddy of Rock. RIP-Chuck Berry

What makes this performance special, I think, is that they make no effort to copy Chuck Berry. They use his words and melody but the song is immediately identifiable as an ELO production. No reason not to love both versions (as suspect most people post here do).

I love both artists and versions as well as the Beatles but ELO definitely made it their own.

fan frickin tastic - the original ELO was way under appreciated john w

Mind blowing. Good morning Rockas.

"i wish i was that bad" now thats a good one ,!

@@mreloo that's jeff Lynn playing lead? What??!! Had no idea... .

And funny enough, Rod complained about ELO opening for him at Wembley in 86’

@@Tiredoldchannel - I'm pretty sure I'd have complained, too, if they finished their set with this...

Just Another 200 Million Album Sales to become a Sir, but with their longevity they all damn deserve it, Been a fan since 73

Lynne originally recorded "Do Ya" with The Move four years before he recorded it with ELO. I'd consider "Do Ya" as a Move song rather than an ELO song.

@@davidmacgregor5193 Yes, so what? I posted "Do ya' is another of their really great songs" Which it was! It was also produced and performed much better under the ELO banner too.

Dig his platform soles.

Literally everyone here besides Jeff, Richard, and Bev were replaced in the span of like three years

He'd only be pissed that he wasn't getting royalties. 😁

Agreed, went to see them last night :)
