This is probably an easy one but I'm tired of searching through 30-second sound clips trying to locate it.
I'm trying to find the name of an instrumental song by Electric Light Orchestra. It's the one played on the classic
rock stations all the time and contains acoustic guitar and some choral singing.
Anyone know
this?
Thanks!

Vic is right, it has to be 'Fire On High' (1975) from the 'Face The Music' album.
It is definitely ELO's most popular instrumental track, and used to be used as a 'theme' for sports programs in the 70s and
80s.

Thanks Vic and Aaron. That was it.
Its first 1.5 minutes were throwing me off, I never hear that part on the
radio.
My list of the best instrumental songs of the '70s is one song better now.
Thank you.

Aaron - I guess I'm not the only one who's played 'Fire On High' backwards ;o).

I was also trying to identify this cut from ELO over
the past few days and just found this
discussion. Thanks for the identification.
By the way: One more theme I've
heard used for
sports was Steve Winwood's "If you see a chance,
take it" which was used to intro one of the tripple
crown horse races years back. They didn't include
the lyric,
but instead just used the instrumental
lead in, somehow stretched out to take up what
seemed like forever..

wow... pretty cool.
I don't suppose you can help me?
There is an old famous instrumental.
60's i imagine.
Very
slow, 3/4 time, and it's mainly a slide
guitar playing a slow sweet melody... mid to
very high notes... wish i could hum a few bars,
it's in a lotta movies & stuff.
It's
somewhere in the era i think of the
Ventures? but it was a bad with 2 guys names
maybe?
I also think the title had multiple words in it...
think of a hawaiin type setting...
anybody?
thanks,
dan
