If you're gonna mark all these anniversaries while skipping over the 40th Anniversary of ELO's 1981 album Time along with its Top 10 hit single "Hold On Tight" at least use original audio for Electric Light Orchestra's "Can't Get It Out of My Head" from 1974, not Jeff Lynne solo!

Let's see, #TBT to November 6th, 2018, Hugh McDowell passed away, then Electric Light Orchestra also played Houston on July 17th, 1975 when this happened... "You know, during the last 10 years or so it's become a familiar part of the theatrics of rock and roll concerts to see guitarists tossing their instruments around on stage, but this next group in the countdown features a man who throws a 20 pound, $2000 cello in the air, catching it just before it hits the ground, the impressive cello toss is performed by Englishman Hugh McDowell, a former member of the London Symphony Orchestra and currently 1/7th of The Electric Light Orchestra, a couple of years ago that crowd pleasing stunt backfired on him, the group was appearing in Houston, Texas, and right in the middle of their last number, Hugh went into his cello hoisting routine throwing the big instrument high in the air, but this time, he got so carried away by the response of the crowd, he forgot to catch the cello on its way down and it crashed into the stage, into a dozen pieces, well, the audience loved it, they thought it was part of the act, but Hugh was stunned, he didn't know what to do, finally, he just picked up the pieces of his shattered cello, and in the finest tradition of rock and roll, tossed them to the crowd as souvenirs, we got the story from the group's drummer Bev Bevan who tells us, believe it or not, Hugh McDowell is still tossing his cello around during those concerts, but nowadays he travels with a spare backstage, this week, The Electric Light Orchestra debuts with their latest, at #36, this is, Turn to Stone..." - Casey Kasem's American Top 40 from December 10th, 1977 PS-They should have gotten Duff Goldman The Ace of Cakes from Charm City Cakes! |
