There's a guy I don't identify there, between Mike Edwards and Wilf "Cactus" Gibson. Andy Craig I think is the guy you are talking about Helmut83... I thought it was Colin Walker? Their cellist before Hugh. Left ELO when his girlfriend told him to choose between her or the band.

Is there footage of this Top of the Pops appearance on YouTube? What song are they performing on it? lol Oh Jeff bless you with your interesting choice of outfit, Bev is rocking those many necklaces, I wonder what possessed Jeff to dress up like that for Top of the Pops?

vlogdance, dillwyn, yeah, it appears that it's the guy Vlog said, Colin Walker. And now that she mentions it, it came back that I read that on Bev's autobiography. I instantly lost all my respect for that guy. What a hen-pecked! wolvesgirlgonewild: that video is where the photo we were watching the other day (the one of Otis Wilbury keeping a low profile) was!

Click on it Helmut83 and you will see it larger. Yeah, thanks! I'm so lazy that I'd rather have it pasted larger here so I don't have to click on it (my index finger could get cramped, you see...).

Oh god yeah course! I'm so pleased I finally managed to watch Jeff in that outfit in action Someone must know the story behind why Jeff is wearing that!

Jeff looks like a corpse they are keeping vigil over.

I look at it and honestly think it's somehow not him. I've seen other pictures of him in the same clothes so I guess it is him but to me it looks a lot more like Wolfman Jack!

I'm so pleased I finally managed to watch Jeff in that outfit in action Someone must know the story behind why Jeff is wearing that! It's very reminiscent of Roy Wood, and the speculation seems to be that with him leaving ELO in '72, Jeff wanted to keep something of a similar outrageous stage presence happening. I don't know if Roy had any early input into the concept of Roll Over Beethoven - he left about 3 months before it was recorded. But it seems slightly odd that Roy singing Whisper in the Night appears to have been the B-side for the French release of the Roll Over Beethoven single in 1973...

Speaking of photos, there's one here that Jeff seems to like as it's displayed prominently on his bar. You can see it just behind Jeff's head during the first two songs -

Lovely video queenofthehours nice to hear acoustic renditions of ELO songs Never heard Richard speak before, is he quite quiet like Jeff? I too can't see the photo mainly because I'm rubbish at seeing things from a distance
