I think I like Can't get it Outa my head the best -- so Lennonesque.

I saw them back in 1973. I think it was in Salem, Oregon, but I can't remember for sure. Wishbone Ash opened up for them, and they were great, too.

The one thing I still remember about the show is that the violin player for ELO did a schtick where he used a football for his bow.

I saw them in 1976 at the Anaheim Convention Center, (Face The Music album)
If I remember correctly, Little Feat opened for them.

Wishbone Ash would have been so cool to watch. One of my favorite groups of all time.

I like "Livin' Thing" and "Strange Magic."

I also like "Don't Bring Me Down." It was the first ELO song I heard when I was a wee lad. It's also ELO's only true rock song (recorded without an orchestra).

Oddly enough, an old childhood friend plays in the band "The Orchestra", lead guitar and vocals.
