With voice mail people no longer know that feeling of listening to the phone ring for as long as you stay on the line.

Evil Woman 🔥

I would nearly always recommend listening to the studio version of a song. However this live version is amazing, and the footage of the audience adds to the magic.

Original band members. Original audience members.

This song brings back my 70's memories big time.

OMG ELO!! 😍😍😍

I never got to see the original ELO and thought my chance was gone, but when Jeff Lynne came back with this version of the band a few years ago, I wasn't going to miss the opportunity. I've been lucky enough to see this show 3 times now, and musically it's the best I've ever seen.

ELO is just as good in concert as in the studio, imo. And I liked that young people in the crowd knew the words as well as the older ones meaning their stuff is timeless. Great reaction!
-
Yep, just got all the feels back again. That song is so emotional and live it's showing the crowd and how it's affecting them too. ELO is next level pop music.

I love this song so much. Young people today don’t know the agony of a ringing phone..It was torture. And this song symbolized that for us back then.

You wanna know how songs can be a major part of one's life, look at the crowd, 40 years later. ❤

Always great music from E.L.O. ! 😊❤

This song reminds me of my brother that passed away several years ago. I still have his number in my phone. I call it ever so often (crazy ,I know) But I miss him so.
-
"Let it ring forevermore..." I've felt that in my life. Great song, great reaction!

One of the better live performances I have seen, by an aging band. Usually they are painful to watch and listen to.
