  • Jeff Lynne's ELO LIVE from the front row at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA, USA. August 24, 2018, the last US show of this year's tour. What a show it was.. full of energy from the band and from the crowd. Some of the best audio I have gathered to date. Find my playlist and listen from start to finish with the headphones on!

    This is real music, Jeff is a normal guy and he probably doesn't know how good he really is, never big headed , he's never changed his accent in interviews, no fancy clothes on stage nothing just simple music brilliance, every single person is playing for real always. Plus 5 decades the test of time proves that. Really on a different level. Plus he comes from my part of the world. Top band and wrote songs that will be still played a hundred years from now because they are brilliant. Simple as that........

      No, he’s not a «normal» guy. He’s way off any norm, having created music enjoyed by the millions, to be heard, to be sung. For decades, for milleniums. Normal guys don’t do that; geniuses do.

      I'm guessing he has an idea how good he is...he hears other people, and then himself. He also has a net worth of $100M as a singer. He's great no doubt but he is well aware. If he didn't know, he would be clueless, and he's definitely not clueless.

    Jeff Lynne has always been able to blend classical instruments and arrangements with amazing rock arrangements. I think his most incredible ability has been to select and surround himself with amazing musicians. All of his projects, from original ELO, to Traveling Wllburys, to later live performances like this one, have demonstrated his ability to do this.When you can put together an orchestra of this size, and the result is a live recording like this one - that's just incredible! And Jeff Lynne has never craved the limelight. He just makes amazing music. It must be fun to be Jeff! It certainly is fun to listen to his work.

    From 1972 to 1986 Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra has had more top 40 hits than any other groups in the world. 50 years later they still play in sold out Arenas and Stadiums. I just saw them in Toronto July 18 2019 ( Best Concert of my life) All the reviews agree they are the best live act in the world and Jeff Lynne is a Music Genius. They are in the Rock Hall of Fame. Lynne is on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and Birmingham Walk OF Fame. Jeff Lynne’s ELO won the Best Classic Rock Band plus Lynne won the best Song Writer award ( ASCAP ) 2019 for his fantastic contribution over the years. The Legends in the Music Industry call Jeff Lynne the best overall Musician ever and a Producer Extraordinaire. And don't forget, he was in the Super Group of all the Groups the Traveling Wilburys with George Harrison, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison and Bob Dylan... Long live Jeff Lynne’s ELO!

Def not underrated

    @Raymond Williams I saw Jeff Lynne’s ELO in Philadelphia in 2018. It had been on my bucket list since I was 12 in ‘79. I drove from Wilmington, NC to see him FINALLY at age 50 (and believe me, Phili is not a place you want to drive in) I have a lot of the concert on my phone still. I LOVE The Idle Race!! Jeff will always be my vocal and musical hero!!! ♥️

      @@user-bx8ol3yv3d Most good musicians do. Only because she is a pretty woman. You said nothing about elo. They must all be at the top of their game. He is very demanding and wants everything his way. I have read about him. He is difficult to work with and for.

    To say that Rosie Langley is a very talented lady is like saying the Empire State Building is tall. It doesn't even begin to scratch the surface. Wowza.

      Definitely. My escape as well. I just need one more escape to the UK and my bucket list is complete. Can't travel anywhere, I'm not jumping through impossible hoops, additional money, quarantining, tracking devices. Oh no way in holy hell.

    Remember when this was a hit. I'm now 61 and still listen to them almost daily. This is a brilliant version, so close to the original it's almost unbelievable. Jeff is a true perfectionist. As for that violinist - wonderful and perfection!
