I first met Jeff &the band in the 70s, I was stage hand at Flint Mi I M A. Auditorium. They came in with a couple of semi trucks with ?Laser Eqiptment , Stringed instrument s All the hands said , What's this all about? After set up we did sound checks and they started practicing, Every one just sat and were amazed at what we were hearing! Been a fan ever since! Their absolute geniuses of music!After working that show I've been to see them every time they got close to here. Had to buy tickets, then ,didn't get paid for those shows,but was well worth it!!

I have always been an ELO fan. Even back with it wasn't cool among my friends to like this type of music! I remember back in the 80's when a local radio station that would play entire albums after midnight on Saturday night, played ELO. It was the first time time I heard ELO and was blown away that someone had made great music that was different to pop and rock n roll music of the 80's. It's amazing that Jeff still sounds like he did back then. There are a lot of other very big and popular musicians that can not sing they way they did in their twenties.

My admiration is to the three ladies who play the cello and violin as in the opening overture they are working hard and their melodic sound makes this a very soulful and heart felt arrangement.
