If you like ELO, Jeff Lynne, grew up in the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s or anytime in the last century… this is a MUST HAVE! Each song is a masterpiece and will be loved for decades into the future. This puts Jeff Lynne in the same company as John Lennon, The Beatles and other greats, who’s music will be played far far into the future. 100 years from now, people will listen to these tunes and wonder what it must have been like to see his concerts live. There are only a very few geniuses in music; Lennon is obvious and Jeff Lynne stands with him.
Wow!

The ELO discography played as true to form as it was over the years, a musical genius at work and as good a live set as you can buy!
Just buy it ......

5 stars just for the setlist. Jeff Lynne has done so much great music as composer, performer, and producer.

Soulless, lifeless perfection

I've been a fan of ELO since the early 70's and while Jeff was the front man, songwriter and voice the "orchestra" brought something else, soul, individuality and the true ELO sound. For whatever reason Jeff fell out with those guys and a few years back even brought out a greatest hits where he removed every one of them and inserted himself on lead vocals, backing vocals, bass guitar, synths renaming the whole thing as "Jeff Lynne's ELO" when in reality it was just a Jeff Lynne record. Just compare the original "Turn to Stone" to the reworked version and you'll hear what I mean. When I think of ELO I think of Jeff Lynne of course, but I also think of Mik Kaminski with his blue violin (listen to the original ShowDown), Kelly Groucutt on bass with his amazing operatic intro to Rockaria, Bev bevan and the rest of the crew.
I saw Jeff's new ELO last year in New York and was very disappointed. The sound production was perfect, the songs sounded like (his reworked) versions but the performance was lifeless like someone going through the motions. There was no enthusiasm from a truly gifted musician and that's exactly what I hear in this "live" recording. It's a live recording but it's not ALIVE.
