Saw ELO at Denver Pepsi Center last Wednesday, 8,8,2018. Wow, show looked to n=be sold out. The wife and I had great seats. Section BBB, row 7. That is the center of the floor, row 7. It was amazing. Around 20 songs and I knew them all. It has been 35 years since ELO played in the USA and I was there. They have more dates before their last date in London. Two nights at Madison Square Gardens in NYC. Maybe 8 shows remaining. I highly recommend.
Sometimes you just gotta Face the Music!
Hollllld on tight to your dreams.
I’d of loved to see that.
I just hope they stayed off the Telephone Line.
Loved Jeff Lynn in the Wilburys.
Some recent youtube vids of ‘livin thing’ were on point and sounded great.
Grats on getting to see ELO live.
I didn’t even know Jeff Lynne was touring again. He’s one of my favorites. There is no other sound like it. I like seeing all the real string players. But Bev Bevan is missing. The keyboard player I think is original.

All of the Traveling Wilbury’s were/are great showmen.
All of them.
The greatest supergroup ever formed.
I was there too!! Jeff Lynne has “lost a step or two” but the sound is still great...no profanity, no nudity, no crappy lyrics, just great music. One of my ‘bucket list’ items now fulfilled...ELO
Medieval Woman.
I hear that their tour will be all over the world.

Fun Fact; The album cover of El Dorado,( ELO’s second complete album)
Guess who designed the album cover using Dorothy’s sparkly red shoes?....Sharon Osborne, Ozzy O’s wife. Yes, it’s true!
Yes, the Langley sisters playing strings, Amy playing cello and Rosie playing Violin are friends of Jeff Lynnes daughters from music school.
Livin Thing is my favorite.
I would say that without the late Kelly Groucutt providing the backing vocals, it isn’t quite the same.
Jeff Lynne
Bob Dylan
Tom Petty
George Harrison
and, not least...
Roy Orbison

Were they still breathing?
Were they in wheel chairs, or just using canes?
(just kidding)
