  1. It has been a long time since I heard this group, and I’m struck at how slowly they play. It isn’t an explosive “Showdown”, it sounds more like a slow motion train wreck. It is a very pretty sound. I guess it couldn’t be done loud and fast.

  2. ELO did some great music in the early ’80’s - very unique sound. Great tune!

  3. Glad to see some respect towards these guys, but I don’t see this showdown ending anytime soon.

  4. Rich, heading to the “Fare Thee Well - Dead50″ shows July 4th weekend? If you are - I need a miracle…
    It was worth a shot… :-)

  5. Once again, very appropriate for the political climate. ” Do ya” want a showdown?

  6. Jeff Lynne is a musical genius. I agree that this is quite the appropriate pick.

  8. Saw ELO at the Notre Dame ACC. They opened with Fire on High.

  9. I always think of Kingpin when I hear this song.

  10. As frustrating as this is, even when you now post to your syndicated column it requires one to log in and or register to see the full article. This is the lay of the land these days.
