This is sad, as Lynne is immensely talented and ELO's sound was so unique-especially around the time of their Out of the Blue tour. Here on this DVD you find ELO at its prime-with a true mini orchestra (which was later abandoned with albums such as "Time" and "Balance of Power"). The concert begins with an introduction by Tony Curtis (yeah, THAT Tony Curtis-the one who was hopelessly uncool by 1978). Following this is prime ELO with exceptional sound.

Often, live recordings sound far, far inferior to the albums. When Wood left in 1972, Richard Tandy joined and is often considered one of the original and consistent members of ELO, even though he was not technically a founder. Here, however, the songs sound amazingly good-especially since ELO produced such complex albums. ![]() In addition to songs from their "Out of the Blue" double-album, other favorites such as "Do Ya" and "Telephone Line" are included. However, my favorite of these songs was the show-stopping "Roll Over Beethoven"-which is even better than the studio recording. ![]() About the only knock are the occasional "special effects" added to some songs by an over-enthusiastic guy with the digital "enhancements" (i.e., 70s style fade outs and cuts that were cutting edge then but look dated today).įor a devoted fan like myself, this is a must-have album (probably earning a 10) but even for non-fans there's a lot to like (such as great sound quality). This is a truly unique and sadly forgotten band that kids today could embrace if exposed to their songs.
