Good lord Melvyn on the Piano is crazy good ! He also did the tap piano right at the very start of Wild West Hero..

FOLKS....This is the Electric Light Orchestra.....I love!!!! This group will never be beat by anyone...BRAVO GUYS!!! The BEST of the BEST. Jeff and Kelly....on guitars and vocals.....Bev hammering the drums....he is magnificent...Richard on keyboard...Melvyn on cello and keyboard....Mik, Mike and Hugh!!!

I was at this concert

I was at the very front smack in the middle before gorilla bouncers and security...I could almost touch their shoes if I wanted. 1974 Eldorado Tour...absolutely BLEW my mind.. By far the coolest, most badass string section in the history of music...!!

these are the musicians of elo i'll always remember..at the top of their game

This was the best incarnation of ELO! They ROCKED.

My brother went "AWOL" from basic training in 1978 to see ELO..he said it was totally worth it :-)

3:49 when Melvyn Gale plays keyboard instead of cello.

September, 1978, Philly Spectrum, I was one of the audio engineering contractors who wired the strings section; we each received a $100.00 tip at the conclusion of the two concerts. One of my best day's EVER!!

Among all the legendary bands I have seen in my life, Electric Light Orchestra is the best live Classic Rock Group ever!

Holy hell that ufo stage is gorgeous 🛸 🤟

Saw them do it live more than once. They give the impression they are just clowning around but the reality was they were never out of time. True musical genius by the whole group.

The ELO SpaceShip! My God, what a show! They came to Greensboro NC in 78. I couldn't believe I was going at the time because I couldn't afford it. I was only 15 and wasn't working. I remember being in my room for hours sulking because I couldn't go. Then my younger brother ran into our apartment and yelled, "I found a ticket!" I said, "What, you found a ticket?" "Where? "I asked. He said, "on the ground"! I kept thinking, he's BS ing me but not to worry, just get to the concert. I went by myself and had a blast. Many years later I asked him where did you get the ticket, cause you were only 10 years old? He said my sister and brother in law purchased it and told him not to tell me where it came from. ELO dropped it from the sky.

I had a copy of a copy of this concert video back in the day. The quality of this clip is so much better! Please post more from this show if you have it!

love the energy

This has to be the best live version of this song I’ve ever seen and I found it in a video I had. Fantastic version.

It's the craziest thing I've ever seen at Madison Square Garden, and it was just like this.

This, to me, was The Electric Light Orchestra. This song really was what they were all about. Mixing Rock and Roll with classical overtones. This was all gone when Discovery was released, and Lynne stripped down the band. I thought they were great up to and through Out Of The Blue. After that, they were still a good band, but pretty much became trend followers.

Love it love it love it! My favorite ELO ever. Wish I'd gotten a chance to see them in concert, but YT works, too. Whenever I hear it, I just gotta dance. Of course, if I danced now like I did wasassssy back then, I'd break a hip. 🙄 But, I can still cut a few moves, and ELO keeps me young. 😊 Thanx muchly for sharing, kind person who posted this little treasure! To ELO, thanx so very very much, gentle men, for the magic, music, and memories .

They sure knew how to jam.

This is the tour where they were inside of a spaceship that opened up with them playing inside. With the lights, lasers and smoke, it appeared as a true spaceship. Greatest stage concept at that time. Bands in the 70's just played on a open stage. One of their best tours before the heavy pop music they did in the early 80's. Jeff Lynne rocks!

R.I.P. Hugh McDowell. 31st of July 1953 to 6th of November 2018.

The best live band i have ever seen! And i have seen lots of them. Long live Jeff Lynne and ELO!

...absolutely phantastic!! I saw them on this very Europe-Tour in Bremen in Stadtarena , unforgettable : ELO at their great time with all their rock-symphonic energy!!

No one will ever come close to the sheer brilliance of this group. Could listen all day every day. Wish l got to see this line up but still thank gog for KZfaq

Wow, just wow! This is rockn roll as it was ment to be!

Most underrated group ever ! Way ahead of their time. Should have been in the hall way before 2017.

All for one for one and one for all. A great balanced band with all of equal value. What we would pay to see this line up again? It's a great shame that Kelly is gone. ELO without Kelly is like you-know-who without Lennon.

These guys are so great you can hear them play through a change that normally would have been a synthesizer break, with just a little confusion at 2:52-2:57, and then it's completely back on track. A lot of those synthesizer breaks from the studio version of this song got dropped for the live version so the solo sections could be extended. ELO is a great band. Any band that incorporated strings has to be.

Saw them in Madison, WI 1978! Too stoned to remember much!

Słynny koncert zespołu Electric Light Orchestra live in Wembley z 1978 roku z trasy koncertowej Out of the blue tour . Ten koncert był charytatywny , na tym koncercie była rodzina królewska .

I was beginning my college career in 1978 playing my trumpet and loving the advance of this kind of rock music. It was a great time to appreciate ELO. One thing, check out the light show arrangements. At the time, that was state of the art. The beginning of "the space ship" to come. Very cool stuff. They were always striving to making themselves better. Thanks, Jeff Lynne

Original ELO was fantastic and Jeff Lynne was and is a true genius. His new ELO is excellent as well . Saw them twice recently and was knocked out again. One of the beat groups and concerts ever.

Fantastic, wonderful 👏with Band ELO the best

wow, that brought back memories. Saw this concert at Wembly. Thanks for posting that

Sublime

Nice

I love this track, what a crowd pleaser, gets you going every time, great instrumentals, bloody fantastic 🎻🎸❤️❤️

Just so we are clear...I played this over the PA system on a FTX at Ft. Bragg, NC in 1977, instead of the desired reveille. Even the Officers were jammin'. I didn't even get in trouble!

Simply the best

Loved it! Best version I have heard. Raw, emotive, and joyous. Absolutely captures the feel of this era of music. Today’s production qualities are amazing. Sound systems lack nothing. But we had what we had in the formative years that became known as Classic Rock. This performance demonstrates that we miss the same feel and sound today. Thanks for making this available!!!

From Donna Blanchard ...Well said!!! FOLKS....This is the Electric Light Orchestra.....I love!!!! This group will never be beat by anyone...BRAVO GUYS!!! The BEST of the BEST. Jeff and Kelly....on guitars and vocals.....Bev hammering the drums....he is magnificent...Richard on keyboard...Melvyn on cello and keyboard....Mik, Mike and Hugh!!!

Bloody marvellous.

Słynny koncert zespołu Electric Light Orchestra z 1978 roku na stadionie Wembley ,mam go w wersji DVD i VHS , lubię oglądać obydwie wersje tego koncertu.

Best Band in the world! Long live Jeff Lynne's ELO!!!

God bless Kelly groucutt and Hugh McDowell?

Best concert I ever attended either 78 or 79 in Knoxville Tn. Huge fan for many years, my favorites.

RIP the real ELO

greate stuff, beams my back to the 80s

I was there

I saw them on this tour, at Wembley, but dont think it was this night. They had a support band that were really good! When they played Roll Over Beethoven as the final number, the support band came on and played with them... imagine thst driving, relentless riff with 2 bass players, 2 drummers, 4 guitarists (!!), and then taking turns playing lead....it was one of my most memorable concert experiences.... wow!

I always play the cello upside down!!! Whew!! Smoking tunage 🎸🎻🎹🥁🎹🎤🔊🔊🔊

FANTASTICO !!

Possibly the only person in the whole building not having a good time here is Jeff Lynne

Glad I found this clip. I'm hoping to find more from this tour. I saw them in Madison with a band called Trixter in Aug '78, just 2 weeks afer seeing the Eagles at County Stadium...They got kind of a bad rap during this tour because they had used some prerecorded samples during their shows.

Saw it. It was spiritual!

Goosebumps :)

Trippin on shrooms- GREAT SHOW

E.L.O. is and always will be my favorite band of all time. The ELO before Jeff split the band was the best. Bev an underrated drummer, Kelly on base and Tandy on piano and synths, the cellists Melvin and hugh were brilliant live (not forgetting Mik and his blue violin). It would be brilliant if todays cellists and violinist in ELO was as active as they were. This energy is whats missing in ELO today.... not saying ELO today isnt good, just not as good as they were. Mind you any band thats been going this long wont be the same as they were years ago.

You can t see it properly but the laser show was fantastic. I was at same show at Rotterdam Ahoy. I paid DFL 17,50 about 8 euro's now :(

Best thing to come out of shard end. Kro blues

June 2, 1978

1:10 1:11 1:12 1:13 1:14 Jeff Lynne Is Going Nice

Ця версія найкраща у їх виконанні.

Michael de alberkerque or what ever his name was lol had a brilliant singing voice in the 2nd line up of Elo despite his posh voice

You mean someone didn't like this!!!!!

to the level of Deep Purple in his concerts without a doubt

მაგარია!

This was supposed to be a tongue-in -cheek character poking fun at Beethoven’s symphonic masterpiece, the 5th Symphony we all like as previous generations. They also did a similar thing to Edvard Grieg’s Peer Gynt- Hall of the Mountain King as it was being terrorized by a bunch of dancing trolls( I don’t mean You Tube ‘trolls’ of course).

ROK YA FUKN SOX OFF 🎸🔊 💃💃💃 🙏

Not many Bands as polished as ELO.....not very many at all.....

i gotta get 2set violin to watch this vid and see if they can tell if the band is using a backing track

The producer/video editor for this should've been tried for war crimes

I can hear the violin but not the cellos 😞 too loud bass, guitar, drums, and keyboard...

Never will be ELO again show them to your children now

Jeff is not as great as he thinks he is without those other guys.

Video guy: they're amazing. Make aure nobody csn see what they're doing in case someone steals their powers..

I love this but can someone explain the weird look on Bev's face at 3:58. Did someone fart? Because the piano sounds great! Two accomplished pianists!

3:18 se le daño xd

The best live band i have ever seen! And i have seen lots of them. Long live Jeff Lynne and ELO!

Nice
