Title: Don't Bring Me Down
Post by: Kaos on October 23, 2018, 03:22:14 PM: Jeff Lynne's ELO Tour coming to America next year.

Love ELO. They're one of those bands who have a ton of good music but never had a #1 single. (Also in this club: Journey, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Metallica, RHCP, Springsteen, Dylan, Steely Dan, Kansas, Sabbath, Green Day, CCR, Bad Company and, yes, KISS).

So in celebration of the upcoming tour I decided to let Alexa buzz me some ELO music. Heard Last Train to London and said to myself, "damn. Heatwave ripped off ELO when they did Boogie Nights

ELO:

Heatwave:

But WAIT A DAMN MINUITE! Boogie Nights came out in 1977. Last Train to London was released in 1979.

So now I'm bummed out.

They could have paid for the rights to use the riff. Hard to imagine something so blatantly similar being ignored by the original artists.

A decade later Lynne was the nexus of the Wilbury's having produced for Harrison while working with Orbison on an album. It was welcomed therapy from some of the lingering terminal effects caused by disco.

Yeah just turned 60. Had a good job at 18 which allowed me to see quite a few concerts that came through. Bob Seger and Tom Petty are two of the best shows I couldn't make.

1 apparently isnâ€™t.

And I had Dylan tickets for bham a year or two ago and sold them. Regretted it ever since.
