And, I bet few noticed no strings in the song because you expect them in an ELO song.

Here is the official video for Rockaria This is one of my favourite ELO videos. The song is great, and it's nice to see the string section featured quite prominently. Trouser-wearing skills and all.

Good find wolvesgirlgonewild I don't think I've seen that video for 30 years, I like the way they all say "HEY" Martin Smith did play some of the live gigs around that time, I remember he played at the Heartbeat Concert I saw at the NEC with ELO.

I've never seen it before so I just happen to find it on daily motion it's not available to watch on YouTube in my country for some reason but nice fashions they're sporting, very erm 80s? As is the style of the video. How did Jeff get to know Martin Smith? Was he just a new addition to the band during the Balance of Power era?

Interesting info amazing how many people Jeff knows through producing their music though it seems Martin knew Richard quite well first before meeting Jeff

Creative music video but bloody hell it's making my eyes go all funny with that effect Was those shades the ones he wore in the early days of ELO? I've only seen a few photos of him wearing those type of shades with those shape lenses, looks like the band are having lots of fun too!

Wow, what a great thread! I'd not seen either the ROB or the So Serious vids before - what a pair of treasures ROB is a proper marathon but they do all look as if they're really enjoying it. I liked silly Mike Edwards playing Jeff's guitar in such an innovative fashion, and what about Jeff's Jimmy Page trousers? AND his whopping platform shoes. Epic. I think So Serious might be my favourite ever though, there's just so much to love and I've only seen it once. For instance: Richard trying to look cool and teddyboy-ish, in fact all of them trying to do this and just ending up looking like they're stifling giggles, the communal "Hey!"s, the totally random extra film bits, it's genius I tell you.

Me neither Uno! It's amazing what you can find, I never knew how many music videos there were of ELO, still yet to see all the Discovery promotional videos! Ah bless them, they're so cute. Any other ELO music videos that you like that you'd like to share?

I can't think of a favourite at the moment, I'll have a ponder. I've always been partial to the Wild West Hero one though, because I adore the song itself and Jeff looks so cute with no specs on and his hair all nice and curly. And possibly nursing a hangover, you have to love him
