I’m sure weirder things have happened, but I can’t think of anything at the moment.

Wow. Of all of the dangers facing us today, no one worries about being crushed by a bale of hay while sitting in a van.

Always got a kick out of the gas chamber photo on "Face The Music", probably while sifting out a few sticks and seeds.

They did the best version of Roll Over Beethoven hands down.

Without a doubt!

First time I saw ELO on TV was on American Bandstand and they played Roll Over Bethoven. WOW!

Band members were wearing black tuxes and the cello players wearing black hoods too!
