Remember the Electric Light Orchestra


Anyone on this forum remember ELO? I have all of their original albums from the 70's and 80's but they are starting to show a little wear from play... Wonder why they have not re-released their best work on good quality, heavy duty vinyl? Seriously, Jeff Lynne is a bona fide musical genius.

I'm ready to re-buy all their albums!

One of the first concerts I went to as a kid(13 yrs old) was ELO's "Out Of The Blue" tour at Anaheim stadium in 1978. The stage was a giant lighting-laden recreation of the spaceship on the album that hydraulically opened to reveal the band complete with a Laserium laser light show. Mind-blowing at the time, but pretty cheesy now in hindsight.

Here's a great account of the tour technical details

ELO founding memmer(and Cellist) Mike Edwards was killed Friday in a freak accident. A 900 lb bale of hay rolled down a hill, jumped a 15 ft ledge, and fell onto his van as he was driving by, killing him instantly
