The end of an era. ELO final tour.

[DrH. Lecter]

They will be in Indy Saturday and Cincy next week. The next month in Nashville. Visually and musically spectacular. Refered to as the 5th Beatle, Jeff Lynn is a historic figure in rock music. Don't risk missing them. It is worth every penny.

Review: Classic rock icon delivers most visually stunning show of the year

It was a magical night of Electric Light Orchestra music as Jeff Lynne’s ELO waved farewell to Bay Area fans at Chase Center.

Saw Lynne in Atlanta during his last American Tour. It definitely one of my Top 5 all time Concerts. You forget how many hits ELO had plus his Traveling Wiburys songs. His opening act on that tour was Dhani Harrison so it was great to see DHani perform with Jeff on the Wiburys songs.

Was there too. It was my #2 best concert of all time. It was spectacular. Just before Covid shut everything down.

How about Dhani? Sound and looks like dad.

As per research for my Freshman English 101 Term Paper at WKU in the fall of '78, I recall the unofficial 5th Beatle was Billy Preston. Found that in many publications as well as interviews I did with several old radio DJs from way back when.

Damn, I'm old !! 🤣🤣🤣

the beginning of Fire on High still scares the crap out of me. Light has to be on to listen.

13 or maybe 14 when I saw this. Stopped buying 45s and saved my money for LPs. 1973?

Actually several over the years were referred to as the 5th Beatle.

Pete Best
George Martin

...being a couple others. Jeff Lynn was one as well.

John referred to them as "sons of the Beatles"

The one band John Lennon named "the sons of The Beatles"

Jeff Lynne formed Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) after witnessing The Beatles recording 'The White Album' and John Lennon later gave him the highest praise.

I can't wait to see them again.

Saw all 3 you mentioned. McCartney at Rupp. Stones in Lou.

My top... Queen.

I saw them at Rupp back in the early 80's...the 'Time' tour. Solid group.

Actually Pete Best was one of the original Beatles. He was replaced with Richard Starkey better know as Ringo Starr. I knew Martin was really involved in producing. I was going on info I was able to find at the time of my term paper (and Lord knows that information was not anywhere near readily available as it is now). 🙃 As I stated I am old !!

It does make me want to try to find my old paper though. Back then, not everyone had type writers and I didn't pay to have someone type out my paper. My prof said if I had turned in my work typed I would have received a better grade but I was happy with the "C+" I got, actually one of my higher grades !!🤪🤪🤪

 

[Creed Bratton]

At this point I am going to claim to be the 5th Beatle.

 

[cole854]

I am glad I saw this show back in 2019, because judging by the videos and reviews, Jeff is now a shell of himself in regards to voice and carrying the songs. The band is excellent musically, but he is essentially just a prop w/ backup singers.

Stu Stucluffe was actually the 5th Beatle. He passed away after being assaulted on they’re 1st or 2nd Hamburg tour.

But Lynne is incredible as is ELO. Love their music.
