goldfinger Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Wonderful biog type prog about Jeff last fri 5 oct on UK TV ... filmed for the most part in his fabulous home overlooking LA ( I believe ) You could see a few sky scrapers in the distance. We learned a lot about his life... teaming up with Roy Wood for ELO ... Roy did nt hang around very long. He showed us the guitar his dad bought him... for £2 and an antiquated tape recorder from the 60s which would actually allow him to multi-track ! What a brilliant guy, musician, song writer, producer.... performer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 I just heard the amazing version he made of "She". He sounds like The Beatles. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=datzV1tcdYE Only covers on his second solo album "Long Wave"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonJonSurfer Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 The only time I ever had front row seats in Madison Square Garden was for ELO (circa '78 or so). Absolutely amazing show. BTW, warm up act was Thin Lizzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonJonSurfer Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Loved those three or four lps from ELO'S prime\ I thought I was listening to classical music! You were...and to rock and roll...what a marriage of sounds. I was just telling a story last night that was lot's of fun when it happened. there was a classical rock station in New York city that was converting to Classic Rock. (It may have been WAPP-FM but i forget). Anyway, they were supposed to convert at 5 PM on a Friday. So those of use listening exactly at 5 heard Beethoven's 5th start playing instead of Classic Rock...turns out it was the first notes of ELO doing Roll Over Beethoven...when the Chuck Berry chords came ripping in...it was perfect.
