NEW Nightrider Electric Light Orchestra Live Stereo 1976

Original live performance video edited and AI remastered with stereo sound. Nightrider is a song from Electric Light Orchestra s (ELO) album Face the Music. The song s title is a tip of the hat to Lynne s first major band, The Nightriders. This was the third single released from the album after Evil Woman, in 1976. The Bside on the single was a live version of Daybreaker taken from the 1974 live album The Night the Light Went On in Long Beach. Despite ELO s rising popularity, and the band playing the song on Top of the Pops on 29 April 1976, the song failed to chart. The song was also included as the Bside on the US hit single Do Ya. Between 3:16 and 3:19, the song features a string crescendo which was reused (played backwards, from 2:40 to 2:44) on another of the album s tracks, Evil Woman. I took the high string part of Nightrider that climbs up to a climax, and used it backwards in Evil Woman as a big effect
