Would love to have been Hyde Park today. After 28 years Jeff Lynne is back on stage with ELO :bow: A time when Super Group's were out of this world.

Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant... all time Fave group and they've posted the full live concert, track by track on playlist.

 

Great Post Gary!

Played this record to death Steve when I was a teenager then had it on tape then CD now on my phone I never tire of it.

 

Always liked ELO.

 

When they split up, some of the band formed Orchestra. I was a mainframe computer operator at the time and my Senior Op was an ex sound engineer and helped them out.

 

They did a gig at the pub where they practised and I was asked if I wanted to help set things up and go to the gig, of course I jumped at the chance and had a great day setting everything up and then being on the sound decks for the concert.

 

Afterwards they told us that they where going to on tour for three months, supporting T'Pau, and would we like to be sound and road crew. I said no as I was pretty young and worried about not having a job at the end of the tour (it was the late 80's so jobs were scarce).

 

In hindesight I should have gone and not worried about the job..

 

I wish I had heard about the concert, I would have loved to have gone.

A missed opportunity Mark but thats easy to say now. :)

Same here Gary, would have loved to have gone aswell.... not quite in the same genre, but I was lucky enough to see Kate Bush on Friday. If you have read any of the reviews about her show, let me just say that they more than lived up to the hype!

Seen some of the reviews for Kate Bush and you are very lucky to see her live after all these years. Will be going to see Bryan Adams on Wednesday another favourite of mine.:)

ELO..............awesomeness

Huge Bush fan as well...Lol!

Some great old bands getting back together. I saw The Eagles recently, they were amazing!
