Bassman Sam Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Just one bloody great band, used to go and see them at the Victoria Theater in London before they went mega big. Happy days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubrad Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 By a strange coincidence, I had one of those wine/Youtube/ELO/acoustic guitar hours only last night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I remember it on top of the pops in 1973 when i was 8 years old. The ELO version of course has the musical quote from Beethoven's 5th at the begining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole tone decending scale is just the cherry on the cake - mixing in prog rock too. How off the wall is that ? Whole tone scale was of course also used by Rod Argent in 'Hold Your Head Up' from the same era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
