  I love this song! Overlooked as one of their greatest.

  In my humble opinion I think this is the best song they ever did.

  I wasn’t 20 until 1980, so teens during the 70s had it best!  We were blessed to grow up with TONS of music/variety shows, and the Midnight Special was our MTV.

  Thanks for doing Showdown. This great ELO song gets overlooked by most reactors.

  Tightrope is 1 of the greatest pieces of rock/orchestra ever made

  John Lennon loved this song, he raved about it and ELO on a couple different 1974 radio shows.  He said, "I remember when the ELO first came out, they said their mission was to carry on where The Beatles left off with "Walrus", and they've certainly done that...although they're doing things we never did.  I think, "Showdown", should have gone to number 1, but UA didn't get out there and push it."

  For hair, the 70's is a time the land forgot. You can see why so many bands made it good on the radio.

  Can’t Get It Out Of My Head and Tightrope are awesome.

  Jeff Lynne is the only celebrity that takes his glasses off when he doesn't want to get recognized.

  Was just going to mention that<br>&apos;Midnight Special&apos; was an American TV show, featuring Music Legends. You&apos;ll Love it.

  Their concept album &quot;Eldorado&quot; is perhaps the pinnacle of their talent.!!!💗
