The ckick behind Jeff on HIS right is just up my street.

the drummer?

The one with the tits hanging out.

its on you tube i think not sure
but he played nearly every hit on his guitar with his mate on the joanna  in his lounge  - without any of the backing etc
it was incredible

but what came out was the work he did with so many of the big hitters in music

there was also a concert in hyde park but the bbc did a concert in and around that time TOO --2014  ???  or 15   in .........what is it called

bbc house - radion - concert errrrrr..... only 4/500 audience - it was MAGIC

This show is so roooode   that girl with the legs and the fiddle -  ambulance on its way to my house!!!

Are there any original members left apart from jeff?

I was wondering the same. The guitarist on his left looks just about old enough.

and my 'favourite' newspaper the guardian, comes along with a bitchy review - I now truly hate them!!!!

the pianist ken

the guy on the joanna is original I believe

same guy who was in the documentary  - they played live in his lounge

even better--love em

Jeff Lynne took on the 4pm ‘legends’ slot at this year’s Glastonbury Festival and all anyone could talk about was how he looked.

Specifically, how he looked exactly the same as he did four decades ago in the Seventies.

Jeff is the lead singer and sole constant member of prog-rock group Electric Light Orchestra and took on the iconic slot at this year’s festival bashing out hits including Living Thing and Shine A Little Love, but fans watching at home on BBC iPlayer couldn’t help but compare him to Dorian Grey.

‘His portrait in the attic must be in a terrible state,’ joked one fan, while another admitted that he ‘looks the same as when I saw him in 1976!’.

And they’re not really wrong.

That is just sublime. There best ever song I think (followed closely by telephone line)

Anyone under 60 on this thread?

me

Isn't it great seeing the yunguns in the crowd frapping out?

yes, I'm 52

And just as I type it

imagine when mozart was playing glastonbury, same people on here  would be posting

No, but I'm younger than Jeff,

as I speak my ex wife and daughters hundreds of miles away are gyrating in their living room

i rang them to tell 'em it was on ha ha

so there are two in there twenties dancing to this

sublime sums it up nicely--the band the beatles could have been xx

Jeff produced the last Beatles song, Tell.

its the combination of the strings that gets me everytime

deep purple tried it with the LSO   but nothing like this

I have the vinyl of DP trying it   ha ha  SILLY OLD barsteward

Kenny...feb next year i'll be the same age as my door number.

I guess if there were other original members involved it might still be just plain ole ELO...

Gillan's good ... but not quite Jeff, imo

Richard Tandy on piano is from the 70s/80s line up.

I dont believe rock or pop music was ever meant to be played with strings, or it rarely works when tried. You have to be a real master to pull it off which, in fairness, Jeff Lynne is.

lol, I'm there now as you know.

they are all good - you would be amazed at how many youngsters are into this stuff usually a combination of modern with classics

but then both of mine are talented musicians and singers - so I guess their voice coaches/teachers etc are going to be much older and influenced by this era etc etc

plus of course the parents   so  I BLAME THE PARENTS  haha

oh this is too much!!!!

to prove the point.....

I'm also born in Feb. Not the 4th is it?

I once shook hands with that great man.

Ronnie James Dio - or was it Whitesnake?
Edinburgh Playhouse, mid-80s

Consensus in this house is this isn't very good at all

Maybe crowd and artists have just had enough.

------

is rather good,c"mon lets twist

"Please Turn Me Over" comes from the old 8 track days when a tape had to get turned over to listen to the next song. I think I've gave out this fact before but it comes from the Gerry Anderson show on BBC Radio Ulster, RIP the great man btw.

It's pishing rain in England and most of your chicks are up here,

On rare occasions I have been seen jiving with one of my daughters at really old rocker pub sessions running on pints of london pride!!!

You can tell they've been touring this year. They sounded much better than they were in Hyde Park 2 years ago. The rest of the band are Take That's backing band.
