ELO Birmingham June 2016 Tightrope

[@musicloverUK]

I was at the Barclaycard arena one on 24th June. Brilliant emotional first song. It was my 13 yr old's first concert. Unfortunately we were in the gods seated at the back which severely hampered our experience. Barely any one around me sung or got up and danced. My son has shown no interest in attending any more concerts when this should have been the highlight of his life. I thought Jeff sounded quiet. He was probably knackered, as this was the extra date added to the tour (and no the Feeling on first, boo!). His backing singers Iain and Melanie are fabulous and really lift the songs. Iain has his own solo career, checkout his Hornal solo album: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6jQn2CYibSladk , played Paul McCartney (on bass obvs.) Numerous times in the UK Let It Be musical kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnqtl5SCn7SigK8 , sang lead with 10cc earlier this year before ELO commitments kicked in: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmqymIhjjKuZo80 ..Go and say hello to Iain on his Facebook page if you've been to a recent concert and enjoyed it? I know he welcomes that.

It's a little annoying see the back of the guy's head, taking up most of the video screen.
