    Rocking out to ELO

    The classic concert in the flying saucer, Wembley 1978, on BBC4 right now.


    Thought some of you might appreciate the heads up.

    Old Violinski's there giving it some! Remember his 1979 hit, Clot Dance?

    I missed it. By coincidence, I was rooting about the tube tonight and played Showdown.

        Recorded the entire evenings worth of ELO stuff on BBC4. Will sit down tomorrow and re-live my childhood.

            Simply by living.
            (Still in my 40's, BTW, so think I have a couple or so years left yet - fingers crossed. I'll hang up my hat when Daniel Craig does, as by your measure, he's 'old' too. )

              Cliff Richard and the Shadows is where it´s at

              We were doing some music in the pub last night just fooling around really, and then we played The Young Ones, and it went down a storm.

              You see Cliff and the Shads. is just so in...but most people just haven´t realised it. Too many old fogey bands playing it to other old fogeys, but this stuff is just so cool..it belongs in the cool locaions
              I'm alright Jack

                Well said...although I prefer the Shadows by themselves, they did some excellent stuff. They're quite popular in Germany and I've seen some great old rare vinyl and even bought an old 7" of him from 1964

                To dispel those autumn blues:

                Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
