Has anyone else seen them live? What did you think?
Not, never went to see them live. Some sweet talking woman always talked me out of it, doggone it.
Great song. Rock Aria is my favorite.
I just have never met anyone named Groos. That is my problem with ELO.
My all time fav. band! Happy to see this. I saw the “Out of the Blue” concert in Memphis. The giant flying saucer was amazing. Anybody else remember the “Flight of the Bumblebee” cello solo with the laser light dancing around the cello?
When I feel a bout of depression coming on, I simply listen to ELO’s ‘Mr. Blue Sky’ about three or four times and it knocks that feeling right out, a truly magical song and achievement!
Great song, Great live concert footage.
there is also a really good semi-recent Doctor Who episode that revolves around this song if you are a Who fan..
I like that they have a string section.
Have always be a fan saw them in 1977 Out of The Blue tour, thought they were good but very pleasantly surprised by the two warm up bands Steve Hillage and Gentle Giant
To really appeciate you have to play the entire “Concerto For A Rainy Day”, which is the entire side three of Out Of The Blue.
I saw them at the Cap Center in DC in 2019. I thought they were excellent. Jeff Lynne has been a part of much of the music that I’ve listened to in my life. He’s produced tons of stuff. Major talent.
