Was it all the old stuff? Seriously, I'm not sure if I dreamt/read they were bringing out a new album.

Got to agree, I thought they were amazing! Well worth the money. Only complaint was it went over so quickly!!!

Totally blew me away. Played pretty much a full set of older stuff with only a couple from the new lp "Alone In The Universe" (which is a great album btw).

Loads of my fave ELO tunes including "10538 Overture" (First time theyd played it on the tour) and "Secret Messages" one of the best songs of the 80's.

Stacks of "Out Of The Blue" and "Discovery" era stuff.

Class night.

Well, it's a Friday afternoon and it's only York City tomorrow, so, in imitation of the the inimitable style of Colonel Dibble -

Seriously? There are people on this board who actually like ELO?

Yep. I like them because everybody else hates them.

Sadly nowt from "Balance Of Power". I was pretty chuffed to get "Secret Messages" as its a largely forgotten ELO song, but I honestly think it's one of the best singles of the whole 80's. It spawned LOADS on sound-alikes (Flock Of Seagulls, Tom Petty, even The Moody Blues)

I'd love to have heard getting to the point and without someone off balance of power but I'm not shocked they didn't play them. Would also have loved to hear shangri-la but I can't be to greedy!
