The guy's just brilliant. Nearly 40 years after this is released, he does this (which sounds exactly like the released version)? And he'll do it again in a few years I'm sure.

The folks in the audience are so happy - just happy to hear those sounds again. I love everything about Jeff and ELO. Underappreciated but loved - as proven by the crowd.

Not my favorite ELO song, but I love listening to ELO and Jeff Lynne. Saw them in concert in 82 or 83. Debuting the Time album. Would love the chance to see them again. Didnt think Lynne was still touring.

Best concert I ever went to in the 70s. They were the trend setters with light shows. :)

Never got into this band, but the sample you link here certainly points to some fine talent. The quick vocal break is extremely well done.

The absolute best live performance and one of the greatest shows I ever saw was ELO in 1978. I’ve seen some of the best but nothing came close to them.

I can’t think of an ELO song that I don’t love but Mr. Blue Sky is among my favorites.

What a great song...the audience just having fun with it! And, what a mixed-age audience too. Did you see all the old people? Old like me. LOL
