Loved this concert. Awesome that Jeff Lynne is till killin' it. I only wish they'd included "HOLD ON TIGHT TO YOUR DREAMS". United Center holds 23,500 and to my old eyes, it looked pretty near capacity. Don't know about the luxury boxes, but seats in the sections and the floor were packed.
I was lucky enough to see Jeff Lynne's ELO in Nashville in 2019. It was easily one of the best modern ELO shows I've been too, mostly thanks to the audience enthusiasm and the band's appreciation of it.I'll admit, I was thinking it was not going to be a great show because before the show the attendees seemed to not be into it. The reaction to Dhani Harrison was polite, but restrained. However, with the "Standin' In The Rain" opening, the audience was on their feet, clapping, dancing and singing along. It was so infectious and so much fun. Jeff in particular really seemed to be enjoying it as he kept saying "thanks" and giving his enthusiastic thumbs-up gesture. It was os good to see everyone having a good time. Easily one of the best shows I've been to. -Robert
Went to the show in Philadelphia Awesome!!!!!!!!!! Favorite Band of all time!! One Request Jeff “Confusion “ Love Love Love this song Please !!! Maybe next year!
Thank you! As a musician (keyboards) for over fifty years how I really appreciate how everyone in the band played their parts with feeling,and nailing it both musically and vocally was awesome!The musical director,and sound and lights,Jeff's pick, was right on, and Jeff, his wonderful attitude and song, those songs! WOW Thank you
when is ELO coming to San Antonio Texas?

Telephone Line (Los Angeles, May 16, 2019)

Evil Woman (Los Angeles, May 16, 2019)
"The following two songs, Evil Woman and All Over the World, seemed to have been chosen at least in part for how piano-dependent they are, allowing Heartbreaker Tench to play Richard Tandy for a day and give Lynne s uncompressed classics some swing." Chris Willman (May 17, 2019 - Variety)

Standin' In The Rain (Live 2019 Tour)
"The group kicked off the show in high style with the grand, sweepingly cinematic Standin in the Rain, which opens the amazing 'Concerto for a Rainy Day' that fills the entire Side 3 of the 1977 double album Out of the Blue." Jim Harrington (June 23, 2019 - The Mercury News review of June 22, 2019 show) "Opening up with the proggy rollercoaster ride of Standin In The Rain set a high level of energy right out of the gate." Neil Ferguson (July 2, 2019 - Glide magazine review of June 29, 2019 show) "Opening, somewhat surprisingly, with Standin' in the Rain from Out of the Blue's 'Concerto for a Rainy Day' suite..." Ned Lannamann (July 2, 2019 - Portland Mercury review of June 29, 2019 show) "The packed house roared at the sight of Lynne and his 12-piece band, as they first appeared in lightning-like flashes to the tune of 1977 s Standin in the Rain. The sound was equally thrilling — and downright exquisite." Dave Paulson (July 4, 2019 - The Tennessean review of July 3, 2019 show) "[The crowd] responded in elated fashion as Lynne & Co. blasted into set-opener Standing in the Rain [sic] right around 9:15 p.m., strobes flashing and lightning bolts crashing across five LED panels onstage." D. Patrick Rodgers (July 5, 2019 - Nashville Scene review of July 3, 2019 show) "Given ELO s classical sense, the 20-song, 95-minute show opened as you might expect it might, with the 1977 piece Standin in the Rain acting as a sort of reintroduction to the band s orchestral sense..." John J. Moser (July 14, 2019 - The Morning Call review of July 13, 2019 show) "Before the concert actually began, one of the biggest mysteries was what ELO would start with. Many of their songs would have worked as concert-starters; I was thinking maybe the wordless rocker Fire On High. But when the gentle, nursery-rhyme-esque tones of Standin In the Rain trickled through the dark arena, I was delighted and surprised, even though I should only have been delighted: This was the same song that began the concert I had on DVD [of the 1978 Wembley concert], recreated almost perfectly (even down to the light show that started with the song proper), with just a few high notes and more complicated parts understandably dropped. [...] It was also a great bookend to Standin in the Rain, which began the show, as that was the beginning of the 'Concerto.'" Jack Butler (July 22, 2019 - Ricochet website review of July 11, 2019 show) "From Standin' In The Rain that got things started in high-tech-light-and-video-festooned fashion to Mr. Blue Sky that closed out the main set (followed by the as-expected Roll Over Beethoven encore), Lynne, his prodigiously talented seven-piece band, a string trio and two backing vocalists delivered a 21-song retrospective that was part pop spectacle, part eye candy and part rock extravaganza led by a 71-year-old guitarist and singer who can still hold his own." John Sinkevics (July 24, 2019 - Local Spins website review of July 23, 2019 show) "But when they perform at Xcel Energy Center on Thursday, you'll hear the band s many Top 40 hits from the 70s, and perhaps some choice album cuts like Standin' In The Rain and Tightrope." Al Shipley (July 25, 2019 - City Pages website) "He opened with the dramatic 1977 album cut Standin' In The Rain and it was all smashes after that." Ross Raihala (July 25, 2019 - Twin Cities Pioneer Press website review of July 25, 2019 show) "From the opening number of Standin' In The Rain to Last Train to London to All Over the World, the songs brought that unique ELO sound that feels like an orchestra playing a set aboard a UFO." John Soltes (July 27, 2019 - Hollywood Soapbox website review of July 16, 2019 show) "The show had opened with the grandeur of Standing in the Rain [sic] from 1977's Out of the Blue." Jeff Elbel (July 28, 2019 - Illinois Entertainer website review of July 27, 2019 show) "The symphonic rock band opened the Chicago show of their 2019 North American tour with the orchestral Standin' In The Rain, from ELO's mega-selling 1977 double-album Out of the Blue. The somewhat obscure song was elevated to stunning stature, with brilliant laser lights shooting across the sports arena and colorful images of rain, clouds, and lightning projected across five Stonehenge-like video screens." Tom Siebert (July 28, 2019 - patch.com website review of July 27, 2019 show) "In a perfect world, ELO would have entered with the full-on prog power of Fire on High rather than Standin' In The Rain, a fairly nondescript Out of the Blue deep cut that's not even on the 'This is The Electric Light Orchestra' Spotify playlist." Scott Mervis (August 2, 2019 - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette review of August 1, 2019 show)
- Running Time: 4:17
- Record Date: June, July and August, 2019
- Record Location: North America
- Written By: Jeff Lynne
- Performed By: Jeff Lynne (vocals, guitar), Lee Pomeroy (bass, backing vocals), Milton McDonald (guitar, backing vocals), Mike Stevens (guitar, backing vocals), Steve Turner (keyboards), Marcus Byrne (keyboards, vocoder), Donavan Hepburn (drums), Melanie Lewis-McDonald (backing vocals), Jo Webb (keyboards), Iain Hornal (backing vocals, shaker), Amy Langley (cello), Jess Cox (cello), Jessie Murphey (violin)
- Released On: Unreleased (bootlegged)
Evil Woman (Live 2019 Tour)
"The concert played like a greatest hits collection, for the most part, as the group continued through the fan favorites Evil Woman (from 1975's Face the Music), All Over the World (from the excellent Xanadu soundtrack) and Livin' Thing (from 1976's A New World Record)." Neil Ferguson (June 23, 2019 - Mercury News review of June 22, 2019 show) "Evil Woman: Song two in the set was this massive hit from 1975 s Face the Music. As the five giant backing screens flashed slow moving psychedelic flames, the band dug into the song s Philly soul groove and was spot-on perfect. Ditto the six-part backing harmonies and dirty bass keyboard riff that hooks the chorus. Sound quality was impeccable." Stuart Derdeyn (June 26, 2019 - Vancouver Sun review of June 26, 2019 show) "...the funky, timeless groove of Evil Women [sic] brought the whole crowd to their feet." Neil Ferguson (July 2, 2019 - Glide magazine review of June 29, 2019 show) "The familiar piano intro to Evil Woman from keyboardist Marcus Byrne inspired the first singalong of the night from the sold-out crowd..." Melissa Ruggieri (July 5, 2019 - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution review of July 5, 2019 show) "His signature productions, always so airy and HD-crisp, felt bolder, beefier, larger than life, without sacrificing the precise harmonies and pizzicato power-plucks of songs like Sweet Talkin' Woman or Evil Woman. [...] The boisterous piano pulse of Evil Woman, chug-a-lugging blues of Rockaria! and ageless shag-carpet shuffle of Don't Bring Me Down pulled fans to their feet." Jay Cridlin (July 7, 2019 - Tampa Bay Times review of the July 7, 2019 show) "Given ELO s classical sense, the 20-song, 95-minute show opened as you might expect it might, with the 1977 piece Standin' In The Rain acting as a sort of reintroduction to the band s orchestral sense before it blasted into the 1975 Top 10 hit Evil Woman, sending chills and cheers through the crowd." John J. Moser (July 14, 2019 - The Morning Call review of July 13, 2019 show) "Nearly every song from the band s hit catalog was represented at the show save for Strange Magic, including classic anthems like Livin Thing, Don't Bring Me Down, Evil Woman and the set closer Mr. Blue Sky..." Fred Pessaro (July 17, 2019 - Brooklyn Vegan review of July 16, 2019 show) "A reverential feel took hold at times on Saturday, as fans sat to absorb the skillfully executed performance, although numbers like Evil Woman, Last Train to London and Sweet Talkin Woman certainly got more than a few of them up and dancing. " Brian McCollum (July 20, 2019 - Detroit Free Press review of July 20, 2019 show) "After this, the band went through an excellent set of classic hits: Evil Woman, All Over the World, Showdown, and Do Ya. [...] The occasional flub or imprecise delivery, as on Evil Woman, was a bit more worrisome, yet always forgivable, and never disrupted the show; only my obsessive knowledge of ELO made me notice such incidents at all." Jack Butler (July 22, 2019 - Ricochet website review of July 11, 2019 show) "The concert played like a greatest hits collection, for the most part, as the group continued through the fan favorites Evil Woman (from 1975 s Face the Music), All Over the World (from the excellent Xanadu soundtrack) and Livin Thing (from 1976 s A New World Record)." Jim Harrington (June 23, 2019 - The Mercury News review of June 22, 2019 show) "There was a jarring glitch as Lynne and band kicked into the second song of the night, 1975 s Evil Woman, with the sound completely cutting out for a few seconds. Fortunately for everyone involved, it all quickly kicked back into gear and Lynne didn t miss a beat." John Sinkevics (July 24, 2019 - Local Spins website review of July 23, 2019 show) "The well-known tracks were enjoyable and instigated instantaneous singalongs; they included Evil Woman, Don't Bring Me Down, Sweet Talkin Woman and Mr. Blue Sky. Unfortunately Strange Magic was missing from the set." John Soltes (July 27, 2019 - Hollywood Soapbox website review of July 16, 2019 show) "Lynne claimed to be as pleasantly surprised as anybody. 'I can t believe we re back here already,' said Lynne after playing Evil Woman and sending greetings to all of Chicago. 'Thank you for coming. It sounds like you re in really good form.'" Jeff Elbel (July 28, 2019 - Illinois Entertainer website review of July 27, 2019 show) "But the music alone quickly stole center stage during the opening of the second song, as Mr. Lynne sang some familiar lines that thrilled and chilled the crowd: 'You made a fool of me. But them broken dreams have got to end.' As if on cue, the audience joyfully rose up and clapped to the hypnotic piano groove of Evil Woman, the smash hit from 1975's Face the Music album." Tom Siebert (July 28, 2019 - patch.com website review of July 27, 2019 show) "From that point on, though, it was almost pure hits, starting with Evil Woman, during which I was practically pinching myself that I was seeing this performed live." Scott Mervis (August 2, 2019 - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette review of August 1, 2019 show)
- Running Time: 4:56

- Released On: Unreleased (bootlegged)
All Over The World (Live 2019 Tour)
"And two songs from the criminally underrated soundtrack to the unjustly maligned Xanadu again showed the pop brilliance of ELO's contribution to the film. Both All Over The World and the title track were absolute delights." Steve Baltin (June 21, 2019 - Forbes review of June 20, 2019 show) "The concert played like a greatest hits collection, for the most part, as the group continued through the fan favorites Evil Woman (from 1975's Face the Music), All Over the World (from the excellent Xanadu soundtrack) and Livin' Thing (from 1976's A New World Record)." Neil Ferguson (June 23, 2019 - Mercury News review of June 22, 2019 show) "Lynne doesn't do much talking to the audience. 'It's wonderful to be here... it really is. Thanks for coming,' he said, before starting All Over the World." Unknown (June, 2019 - Best Classic Bands website review of June 20, 2019 show) "Lynne and his talented band would keep climbing higher with the slice of Beach Boys-esque disco All Over The World..." Neil Ferguson (July 2, 2019 - Glide magazine review of June 29, 2019 show) "And the presence of disco-friendly pap like Last Train to London and All Over the World at the expense of earlier, superior work from albums like Eldorado and Face the Music was frustrating." Ned Lannamann (July 2, 2019 - Portland Mercury review of June 29, 2019 show) "Bolstered as they were by on-point backing harmonies, Lynne s vocals nevertheless sounded rich and strong over the symphonic disco of All Over the World and the falsetto-laden Livin Thing, his fingers still nimble on the guitar solo of Showdown. " D. Patrick Rodgers (July 5, 2019 - Nashville Scene review of July 3, 2019 show) "These are not easy songs to duplicate live — Lynne s infatuation with studio work as a producer is legendary — making the five-part harmonies on All Over the World and Wild West Hero not only impressive, but chill-inducing in their perfection." Melissa Ruggieri (July 5, 2019 - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution review of July 5, 2019 show) "The disco-symphony sweetness of All Over The World and Last Train To London were either extremely your bag or they weren't; a the very least Lynne deserves credig for dropping them into a major tour setlist some 40 years after disco supposedly died." Jay Cridlin (July 7, 2019 - Tampa Bay Times review of the July 7, 2019 show) "Lynne, at 71 looking largely like he did 40 years ago with permed hair and dark glasses, took a song or two to warm his vocals, but by the third song, All Over the World, was far stronger vocally and recreating his falsetto on the 1980 hit All Over the World and singing with authority on the minor hit Showdown." John J. Moser (July 14, 2019 - The Morning Call review of July 13, 2019 show) "All Over the World brought a touch of roller-rink disco radiance." Brian McCollum (July 20, 2019 - Detroit Free Press review of July 20, 2019 show) "After this, the band went through an excellent set of classic hits: Evil Woman, All Over the World (which was preceded by Jeff Lynne s saying 'Hello Washington, D.C,' to which I thrilled, though I wish he d namechecked the city in the song as well), Showdown, and Do Ya." Jack Butler (July 22, 2019 - Ricochet website review of July 11, 2019 show) "The concert played like a greatest hits collection, for the most part, as the group continued through the fan favorites Evil Woman (from 1975 s Face the Music), All Over the World (from the excellent Xanadu soundtrack) and Livin Thing (from 1976 s A New World Record)." Jim Harrington (June 23, 2019 - The Mercury News review of June 22, 2019 show) "From the opening number of Standin' In The Rain to Last Train to London to All Over the World, the songs brought that unique ELO sound that feels like an orchestra playing a set aboard a UFO." John Soltes (July 27, 2019 - Hollywood Soapbox website review of July 16, 2019 show) "ELO flashed its Beach Boys and Beatles influences early, with All Over the World and When I Was a Boy, respectively.

Showdown (Live 2019 Tour)
"He also turned in some beautifully restrained and refined guitar work, although there were a few fretboard fireworks reserved for songs like Showdown and, especially, the regular Roll Over Beethoven show closer." Jim Harrington (June 23, 2019 - Mercury News review of June 22, 2019 show) "Lynne and his talented band would keep climbing higher with the slice of Beach Boys-esque disco All Over The World before dropping into the slyly soulful Showdown. During this song Lynne showed off his ability to use just a small string section to accomplish what many musicians couldn t do with a full orchestra." Neil Ferguson (July 2, 2019 - Glide magazine review of June 29, 2019 show) "His voice hasn't aged a day—best evinced by his ability to hit the high notes in 1973 single Showdown" Ned Lannamann (July 2, 2019 - Portland Mercury review of June 29, 2019 show) "Bolstered as they were by on-point backing harmonies, Lynne s vocals nevertheless sounded rich and strong over the symphonic disco of All Over the World and the falsetto-laden Livin Thing, his fingers still nimble on the guitar solo of Showdown. " D. Patrick Rodgers (July 5, 2019 - Nashville Scene review of July 3, 2019 show) "And he got a standing O for the powerful, prog-tinted soul-stirrer Showdown." Jay Cridlin (July 7, 2019 - Tampa Bay Times review of the July 7, 2019 show) "Lynne... [is] singing with authority on the minor hit Showdown." John J. Moser (July 14, 2019 - The Morning Call review of July 13, 2019 show) "After this, the band went through an excellent set of classic hits: Evil Woman, All Over the World, Showdown, and Do Ya. [...] He still did the guitar solo from Showdown himself." Jack Butler (July 22, 2019 - Ricochet website review of July 11, 2019 show) "Sadly, Jeff Lynne s ELO — as his touring band is now dubbed — didn t unearth this gem [Ma-Ma-Ma Belle] during its tour stop Tuesday night at Grand Rapids Van Andel Arena, though Lynne did roll out the nearly-as-wonderful Showdown from the same album."

Do Ya (Live 2019 Tour)
"Other standouts included Lynne going back to his pre-ELO days with the Move for Do Ya." Steve Baltin (June 21, 2019 - Forbes review of June 20, 2019 show) "Given Lynne s prolific career, one couldn t have expected him to only play ELO songs, and he would veer from this track with the 60s rocker meets doo wop tune Do Ya from ELO predecessor The Move." Neil Ferguson (July 2, 2019 - Glide magazine review of June 29, 2019 show) "They alternately sailed and stomped through cuts that hit every point of Lynne's career. There was Do Ya (a song he wrote in 1971) right next to When I Was a Boy, from 2015's Alone in the Universe." Dave Paulson (July 4, 2019 - The Tennessean review of July 3, 2019 show) "[The crowd] reveled in not only the memories provided by Do Ya and Don't Bring Me Down, but the songs stunning live reproduction." Melissa Ruggieri (July 5, 2019 - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution review of July 5, 2019 show) "But Amalie Arena might hear a better rock performance this year than Do Ya, a song that dates back to Lynne's pre-ELO band the Move. That song's roaring power chords basically sounded like every great Cars song that came after." Jay Cridlin (July 7, 2019 - Tampa Bay Times review of the July 7, 2019 show) "By the fifth song, ELO was offering up its best: perhaps its greatest song Do Ya, its perfect combination of orchestra and muscular rock perfectly preserved, and two backup singers adding the famous layered vocals from the recorded version." John J. Moser (July 14, 2019 - The Morning Call review of July 13, 2019 show) "A lush but spiked Do Ya, the old Move song that became an ELO staple, came with a rush of electric guitar." Brian McCollum (July 20, 2019 - Detroit Free Press review of July 20, 2019 show) "After this, the band went through an excellent set of classic hits: Evil Woman, All Over the World, Showdown, and Do Ya." Jack Butler (July 22, 2019 - Ricochet website review of July 11, 2019 show) "The band played every major ELO hit through 1980, save for the eternal prom theme Strange Magic. From the tender Telephone Line to the chunky rocker Do Ya to the disco-kissed Last Train to London, each song landed a deliriously nostalgic punch." Ross Raihala (July 25, 2019 - Twin Cities Pioneer Press website review of July 25, 2019 show) "For Lynne geeks, there were plenty of payoffs [including] the riff-rockin Do Ya (from his pre-ELO band the Move)... [...] The more than 14,000 fans ate up all the radio hits, giving Do Ya and especially Turn to Stone extra-long ovations." John Bream (July 26, 2019 - Star Tribune review of July 25, 2019 show) "Lynne brought back the songs of ghosts past and played songs like Do Ya, by his 1960s band, the Move." Kayla Song (July 26, 2019 - The Current website review of July 25, 2019 show) Editor's Note: Jeff was in The Move in the 1970s, not the 1960s. "Crowd favorites also included Do Ya, which ELO perform with just the right mix of ferocity and romance..." John Soltes (July 27, 2019 - Hollywood Soapbox website review of July 16, 2019 show) "The 12-piece band played and sang lush, lively versions of the irresistible sing-alongs Do Ya and Livin' Thing, as well as the playful Turn To Stone and the beautifully bittersweet Can't Get It Out Of My Head, on which Mr. Lynne paid homage to the late John Lennon's serrated singing voice." Tom Siebert (July 28, 2019 - patch.com website review of July 27, 2019 show) "Do Ya, a song originally recorded by Lynne s previous band, The Move, demonstrated Lynne s genius for orchestrating what could have been a simple three-chord rock song."

When I Was A Boy (Live 2019 Tour)
"Other standouts included... a gorgeous rendition of the recent single, When I Was A Boy..." Steve Baltin (June 21, 2019 - Forbes review of June 20, 2019 show) "Yet, it wasn t all golden oldies. Lynne also included his most recent gem, When I Was a Boy, the richly nostalgic ballad from 2015 s Alone in the Universe that deserves to be ranked among ELO s all-time best songs." Jim Harrington (June 23, 2019 - The Mercury News review of June 22, 2019 show) "They alternately sailed and stomped through cuts that hit every point of Lynne's career. There was Do Ya (a song he wrote in 1971) right next to When I Was a Boy, from 2015's Alone in the Universe." Dave Paulson (July 4, 2019 - The Tennessean review of July 3, 2019 show) "But when you can strum a dreamy ballad (When I Was a Boy, from 2015 s Alone in the Universe) and uncork a sumptuous Beatles homage (Mr. Blue Sky) in the same show, who needs talking?" Melissa Ruggieri (July 5, 2019 - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution review of July 5, 2019 show) "And he can go sweet and simple, too. When I Was A Boy sounded as Beatle-y as a song can sound without being written by the Beatles." Jay Cridlin (July 7, 2019 - Tampa Bay Times review of the July 7, 2019 show) "[The band] even included a nod to their recent single When I Was a Boy, which belongs in the band s canon of classics." Fred Pessaro (July 17, 2019 - Brooklyn Vegan review of July 16, 2019 show) "The next part of the set touched equally on the present and the past. When I Was A Boy, the lead single from Alone in the Universe, ELO s most recent album, came next; Jeff handled this song perhaps best of any that night, as it was written more with his current vocal range in mind than any other on the setlist, but also dealt more with his own upbringing than any other ELO number." Jack Butler (July 22, 2019 - Ricochet website review of July 11, 2019 show) "For Lynne geeks, there were plenty of payoffs [including]... ELO s 2015 tune When I Was a Boy (which sounded like the best posthumous John Lennon song to date)." John Bream (July 26, 2019 - Star Tribune review of July 25, 2019 show) "The newest song aired was When I Was a Boy from 2015 s Alone in the Universe. Lynne packed the song s lilting melody with drama and sentiment, supported by a descending chord progression reminiscent of Mott the Hoople and David Bowie s All the Young Dudes. It fit as a worthy addition to the ELO canon, and implied that Lynne has ample fuel left in the songwriting tank for lovers of the classic ELO sound." Jeff Elbel (July 28, 2019 - Illinois Entertainer website review of July 27, 2019 show) "ELO flashed its Beach Boys and Beatles influences early, with All Over the World and When I Was a Boy, respectively.

Livin' Thing (Live 2019 Tour)
"Making their third appearance in Southern California in the last three years, Lynne and his exemplary band dazzled by mixing in a healthy dose of surprise selections and deeper hits with the requisite have to do songs, like Turn To Stone, Livin' Thing and the brilliant closer, Mr. Blue Sky, a song whose joy is as vibrant and necessary as it was 40 years ago." Steve Baltin (June 21, 2019 - Forbes review of June 20, 2019 show) "The concert played like a greatest hits collection, for the most part, as the group continued through the fan favorites Evil Woman (from 1975!@#s Face the Music), All Over the World (from the excellent Xanadu soundtrack) and Livin!@# Thing (from 1976!@#s A New World Record)." Jim Harrington (June 23, 2019 - The Mercury News review of June 22, 2019 show) "Livin Thing: The opening violin solo was pure Bartok, and then the sing-a-long strumming started into one of the best songs in the group s catalogue. A deceptively simple tune, it packs in big orchestration, Queen-style operatic choruses and a slinky lyric that has a decidedly sexy slur in the 'your sweet desire' point of the lyric. The duel cello solo is killer." Stuart Derdeyn (June 26, 2019 - Vancouver Sun review of June 26, 2019 show) "ELO's timeless songs were still able to render the audience paralyzed in awe -- not wanting to move, but just to soak it all in. However, the band got the crowd jumping and swaying with songs like A New World Record s Livin Thing, with its epic violin solo by Jessie Murphy, and Rockaria! with backing vocalist Melanie Lewis-McDonald s enchanting operatic voice." Kayla Song (July 26, 2019 - The Current website review of July 25, 2019 show) "Bolstered as they were by on-point backing harmonies, Lynne s vocals nevertheless sounded rich and strong over the symphonic disco of All Over the World and the falsetto-laden Livin Thing, his fingers still nimble on the guitar solo of Showdown. " D. Patrick Rodgers (July 5, 2019 - Nashville Scene review of July 3, 2019 show) "Two cellists (Amy Langley and Jess Cox) and a violinist (Jessie Murphy) provided the juicy texture on so many classics from the ELO oeuvre (Livin Thing, Turn to Stone)" Melissa Ruggieri (July 5, 2019 - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution review of July 5, 2019 show) "The pristine, chamber-poppy Livin' Thing was pure joy set to a fiddle..." Jay Cridlin (July 7, 2019 - Tampa Bay Times review of the July 7, 2019 show) "If there was the slightest criticism of the night, it was that the performance of most of the hits was so precise — songs were note-by-note perfect, which because they are so musically rich was great, but also made the live experience a bit sterile. It's a criticism Lynne has faces through his career. Living Thing [sic], for example, a great hit from 1976, was flawless. On a precious few songs, that resulted in exposing some dated sounds." John J. Moser (July 14, 2019 - The Morning Call review of July 13, 2019 show) "Nearly every song from the band s hit catalog was represented at the show save for Strange Magic, including classic anthems like Livin Thing, Don't Bring Me Down, Evil Woman and the set closer Mr. Blue Sky..." Fred Pessaro (July 17, 2019 - Brooklyn Vegan review of July 16, 2019 show) "Livin Thing brought violinist Jessie Murphy up for a solo spot while proving its worth as an enduring piece of ear candy." Brian McCollum (July 20, 2019 - Detroit Free Press review of July 20, 2019 show) "Livin Thing, another highlight of ELO s greatest hits, came next, and it was done well, though the concert-forced fade-out replacement could use a little work." Jack Butler (July 22, 2019 - Ricochet website review of July 11, 2019 show) "Violinist Jessie Murphy was featured during the melodramatic opening of Livin Thing."

Handle With Care (Live 2019 Tour)
"Other standouts included... the Traveling Wilburys cover, "Handle With Care," which featured vocals by opening act Dhani Harrison and a moving video tribute to Lynne's Wilburys band mates -- Tom Petty, George Harrison and Roy Orbison, who have all passed away, and Bob Dylan." Steve Baltin (June 21, 2019 - /Forbes review of June 20, 2019 show) "He'd also recognize one of his other bands — the supergroup known as the Traveling Wilburys, also featuring Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty. And he'd do so in quite touching fashion, as he called George Harrison's son — opening act Dhani Harrison — back to the stage to handle lead vocals on Handle With Care." Jim Harrington (June 23, 2019 - Mercury News review of June 22, 2019 show) "On the first two shows of the current North American tour by Jeff Lynne s ELO, featuring Dhani Harrison (George Harrison s son) as the opening act, Harrison performed The Traveling Wilburys Handle With Care with Lynne and ELO. You can watch a video of the June 20 performance in Anaheim, Calif., below." Jay Lustig (June 25, 2019 - NJArts.net review of June 20 and 22, 2019 shows) "Eight songs in, Lynne welcomed his opening act, Dhani Harrison, son of Lynne's friend and bandmate, George Harrison, to perform the Traveling Wilburys' Handle With Care. Dhani sang his father's parts of the song." Unknown (June, 2019 - Best Classic Bands website review of June 20, 2019 show) "For Handle With Care, by his 1980s supergroup, the Traveling Wilburys -- which also included Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison and George Harrison -- Lynne asked opener Dhani Harrison, son of George, to come back onstage to help sing the hopeful song." Kayla Song (July 26, 2019 - The Current website review of July 25, 2019 show) "He would soon top it by bringing opener Dhani Harrison (son of George) to the stage to join him in a spirited rendition of the Traveling Wilburys catchy Handle With Care, with the crowd singing along to the chorus." Neil Ferguson (July 2, 2019 - Glide magazine review of June 29, 2019 show) "Opener Dhani Harrison joined the group for a run-through of Handle with Care, the 1988 hit by the Traveling Wilburys, whose ranks featured Lynne and Harrison's father, George. The younger Harrison—who had delivered a somewhat schizophrenic set of hard rock, new-age dharma, and purest Beatlesque pop earlier in the evening—sounded uncannily like his father in the lead mic spot." Ned Lannamann (July 2, 2019 - Portland Mercury review of June 29, 2019 show) "Another song from an offshoot was a true crowd-pleaser: Handle With Care, the 1988 hit single by supergroup The Traveling Wilburys (of which Lynne was a member). Filling in for George Harrison was the late Beatle s son (and spitting image), Dhani, who opened Wednesday's show." Dave Paulson (July 4, 2019 - The Tennessean review of July 3, 2019 show) "Wednesday s performance also had some moments that, even if they weren t unique to the Nashville show, felt pretty special — most notably, a midset performance of the Wilburys hit Handle With Care that featured Dhani Harrison, son of George, performing his dad s vocals. He did so very convincingly, with footage of dearly departed Wilburys Harrison, Orbison and Petty inspiring big cheers from the crowd each time they d flash on screen behind the band." D. Patrick Rodgers (July 5, 2019 - Nashville Scene review of July 3, 2019 show) "A highlight of the night included opening act Dhani Harrison, who, after playing 45 minutes of his own mystical guitar-driven rock, returned to join old friend Lynne on a moving rendition of The Traveling Wilburys Handle with Care." Melissa Ruggieri (July 5, 2019 - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution review of July 5, 2019 show) "And while the Traveling Wilburys may be endangered, Lynne isn't letting them go extinct just yet. For Handle With Care, he brought out a special guest to share lead vocal: Opening act Dhani Harrison. Hearing Harrison sing his father George's lines, with Lynne filling in for Dylan and Petty-- as vintage footage of the whole supergroup played behind them, no less-- was touching, soft of a cross-generational testament to Lynne's legacy." Jay Cridlin (July 7, 2019 - Tampa Bay Times review of the July 7, 2019 show) "Just two songs later was another highlight: Lynne brought out opening act Dhani Harrison to recreate the part of his late father, The Beatles George Harrison, on a wonderful cover of The Traveling Wilburys Handle With Care. In one of the few times Lynne spoke, he introduced the song by referring to the Wilburys as 'my other group,' and Harrison absolutely nailed his father s parts, sounding eerily like him." John J. Moser (July 14, 2019 - The Morning Call review of July 13, 2019 show) "[The band played] single song from Jeff Lynne s other storied project with Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Tom Petty and Roy Orbison, The Traveling Wilburys (Handle With Care). They even had George Harrison s son Dhani Harrison open the gig and perform with ELO on Handle With Care." Fred Pessaro (July 17, 2019 - Brooklyn Vegan review of July 16, 2019 show) "A poignant moment came midway through: Dhani Harrison, who had opened the evening with his own atmospheric set, stepped out for the Traveling Wilburys Handle with Care, filling the role his dad George Harrison once played alongside Lynne, Orbison, Petty and Bob Dylan. Already an uncanny lookalike, Harrison nailed the vocal nuances of his late Beatle father — and close friend of Lynne — on the friendly 1988 hit." Brian McCollum (July 20, 2019 - Detroit Free Press review of July 20, 2019 show) "Perhaps the biggest surprise of the night followed, as Lynne casually announced that he was going to do 'a song by my other group.' At this point, Dhani Harrison, son of Beatle George, whose band had been the opening act, returned to the stage and flawlessly recreated his father s lead vocals on the Traveling Wilburys song Handle With Care. During this song, scenes from recording sessions of this legendary supergroup, whose other members included the now-deceased Tom Petty and Roy Orbison and the still-chugging-along Bob Dylan, were projected on stage behind the band. It was a touching tribute to a part of Lynne s career that I did not expect this concert to reference at all." Jack Butler (July 22, 2019 - Ricochet website review of July 11, 2019 show) "And while he didn t banter with the crowd much at all, he was gracious and didn t resort to rock star posturing — not even once. Indeed, that graciousness extended to the moment a third of the way into the set when he brought Dhani Harrison back on stage to help sing a non-ELO tune: 1988 s Handle with Care, by The Traveling Wilburys super-group which featured Lynne, Bob Dylan and the late George Harrison, Tom Petty and Roy Orbison. With images of George, Tom and Roy behind them, it was a performance that oozed poignancy as Dhani shared lead vocal duties and the band delivered a Wilburys-like vibe paying homage to some of rock s most important heroes." John Sinkevics (July 24, 2019 - Local Spins website review of July 23, 2019 show) "In a terrific moment in an evening full of them, Lynne invited his opening act Dhani Harrison (son of George) out to help him sing the Traveling Wilburys Handle with Care, the biggest hit from his supergroup that also featured Harrison, Orbison, Petty and Bob Dylan. Dhani Harrison looks and sounds a whole lot like his dad, although his songs aren t nearly as memorable. He closed his set with the new track Motorways (Erase It), a psychedelic rocker that shows some promise." Ross Raihala (July 25, 2019 - Twin Cities Pioneer Press website review of July 25, 2019 show) "For Lynne geeks, there were plenty of payoffs [including]... the Wilburys Handle with Care (featuring opening act Dhani Harrison, George s son, on vocals, taking the parts of his dad, Dylan and Petty while Iain Hornal did Orbison s)..." John Bream (July 26, 2019 - Star Tribune review of July 25, 2019 show) "The showstopper was the surprise appearance of opening act Dhani Harrison, who stood in for his late father George during a rollicking romp through Handle With Care by what Lynne referred to as 'my other group, the Traveling Wilburys.' The younger Harrison s opening set had featured spacefaring psych-pop from his 2017 album IN///PARALLEL and prior band thenewno2, settling more closely to the Radiohead and Muse camps than Beatle territory. Still, there was no denying the remarkable similarity of the son s singing voice to his beloved dad s warm and tremulous tenor. Images behind the band reminded of the crowd of Tom Petty and Roy Orbison, also dearly departed from the Wilburys lineup." Jeff Elbel (July 28, 2019 - Illinois Entertainer website review of July 27, 2019 show) "Dhani was brought back on stage during the main show to sing some of the clever verses from the Wilburys' 1988 hit Handle With Care, a world-wise song that brought tears to some in the audience as iconic photos of the late Messrs. Orbison, Harrison, and Petty were displayed on the massive video screens." Tom Siebert (July 28, 2019 - patch.com website review of July 27, 2019 show) "Handle With Care, the one dip into the Wilburys catalog, had opener Dhani Harrison singing his father s part and Iain Hornal doing Roy Orbison, both to perfection. A video of those legends -- Harrison, Orbison, Dylan, Petty and Lynne -- on the stage-wide, five-panel screen literally caused a collective gasp in the crowd." Scott Mervis (August 2, 2019 - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette review of August 1, 2019 show) "I love Dhani. I've known him since he was about five. So we had this idea to bring [Dhani] out to do Handle With Care. We played it every night with Dhani singing it and I thought that was a great thing, with George Harrison being gone. It was a nice continuation of the Wilburys, just for a few minutes." Jeff Lynne (November 5, 2019 - Music Week) "It goes back from when I first worked with George on (his 1987 album) Cloud Nine and Dhani would have been about five years old then. But he kept coming up the stairs, outside the studio door to listen to all the sessions we were doing and I got to know him, playing football in the garden and all that. And then he obviously he grew up and he s a big lad now (laughs). And obviously, when he came on tour as our opening act on the last tour, I thought what a great idea it would be to have him get up on stage with us when we re doing Handle With Care, which George and the Wilburys, which we wrote. And Dhani could sing it instead of his dad. And he liked the idea and he did great every night, him singing, and it was lovely. And he was thrilled to be up there and I was thrilled to have him up there so it's a great little reminder of George s friendship and everything." Jeff Lynne (November 12, 2019 - Toronto Sun) "It's absolutely fantastic [playing Handle With Care with Dhani Harrison on tour], 'cause I've known Dhani since he was about five when I first went to produce George's album, Cloud Nine, that's when we first met. So I met Dhani at the same time I met George. And so to have Dhani come up and sing the song on stage with us, it's a real treat, like it's a full circle. It's just everything feels great about it. And Dhani sings... He can sing just like George if he wants to. He doesn't always do it, but he can if he wants to. And I thought he used to sing that brilliantly." Jeff Lynne (December 16, 2019 - World Café) "I enjoy playing [Handle With Care]. And on our last American tour we had Dhani [Harrison] singing it, as he was supporting us. It's his dad's song, so we encouraged him, and it always went down well. Because it was a true Harrison voice singing it. In the genes. He can sound the spitting image of George, when he sings. He doesn't normally copy him. But he can, when it's appropriate, when we're doing that one." Jeff Lynne (December, 2019 - Record Collector)

Rockaria! (Live 2019 Tour)
"Rockaria! Was this left off of the Rocky Horror Picture Show? A full-on old school Little Richard rocker with a totally awesome operatic vocal, this lesser known song was a real surprise. Following it with the schmaltzy Xanadu — from the somewhat awful movie of the same name — just showed how completely fluid this band is. Killer bass playing duly noted, and everyone in this band was a consummate player." Stuart Derdeyn (June 26, 2019 - Vancouver Sun review of June 26, 2019 show) "ELO's timeless songs were still able to render the audience paralyzed in awe -- not wanting to move, but just to soak it all in.

Kayla Song (July 26, 2019 - The Current website review of July 25, 2019 show) "Backup singer Melanie Lewis-McDonald added a touch of opera to Rockaria!" Melissa Ruggieri (July 5, 2019 - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution review of July 5, 2019 show) "The boisterous piano pulse of Evil Woman, chug-a-lugging blues of Rockaria! and ageless shag-carpet shuffle of Don't Bring Me Down pulled fans to their feet." Jay Cridlin (July 7, 2019 - Tampa Bay Times review of the July 7, 2019 show) "My walk off music every night is the intro to Rockaria! I get this beautiful, operatic way of leaving the stage. It's very funny." Dhani Harrison (July 12, 2019 - Rolling Stone) "Much better was the fun and intense rock n roll toss-off Rockarria! [sic]." John J. Moser (July 14, 2019 - The Morning Call review of July 13, 2019 show) "Rockaria was a tidy blast of rock n roll with cinematic strings and operatic vocals." Brian McCollum (July 20, 2019 - Detroit Free Press review of July 20, 2019 show) "Rock-Aria! [sic], one of my favorites, was done well (though they did miss the mini-Beethoven reference the song contains); it is always tricky live, as it involves vocal interplay between a lead male rock vocalist and a co-lead female operatic part. They had both on hand in the touring band; Jeff and a male backing vocalist shared the former, and a female backing vocalist took over the latter, perhaps even improving on original ELO member Kelly Groucutt s version from the original tour." Jack Butler (July 22, 2019 - Ricochet website review of July 11, 2019 show) "Soprano Melanie Lewis McDonald took the spotlight on the operatic introduction to Rockaria!" Jeff Elbel (July 28, 2019 - Illinois Entertainer website review of July 27, 2019 show) "Rockaria!, a cosmic blend of opera and hard rock, had backup singer Melanie Lewis-McDonald suddenly turning into Maria Callas."

Last Train To London (Live 2019 Tour)
"Other standouts included... the 1979 disco meets pop-tinged track Last Train To London, another song with superb visuals..." Steve Baltin (June 21, 2019 - Forbes review of June 20, 2019 show) "And the presence of disco-friendly pap like Last Train to London and All Over the World at the expense of earlier, superior work from albums like Eldorado and Face the Music was frustrating." Ned Lannamann (July 2, 2019 - Portland Mercury review of June 29, 2019 show) "The disco-symphony sweetness of All Over The World and Last Train To London were either extremely your bag or they weren't; a the very least Lynne deserves credig for dropping them into a major tour setlist some 40 years after disco supposedly died." Jay Cridlin (July 7, 2019 - Tampa Bay Times review of the July 7, 2019 show) "Last Train to London, the only set addition from the August show (the band has played Xanadu as some shows, but didn t Saturday), was a bit too disco and underwhelming." John J. Moser (July 14, 2019 - The Morning Call review of July 13, 2019 show) "Care and precision don't have to mean robotic, and there was real warmth and even soul to Saturday s performance, whether it was right upfront — like the exuberant strings-soaked funk of Last Train to London or nested in the melancholic loveliness of a Telephone Line. [...] A reverential feel took hold at times on Saturday, as fans sat to absorb the skillfully executed performance, although numbers like Evil Woman, Last Train to London and Sweet Talkin Woman certainly got more than a few of them up and dancing." Brian McCollum (July 20, 2019 - Detroit Free Press review of July 20, 2019 show) "The show then went disco with Last Train To London, accompanied by the night s most colorful stage visual effects up to that point (a glow-in-the-dark locomotive constantly ran behind the band)..." Jack Butler (July 22, 2019 - Ricochet website review of July 11, 2019 show) "Overall, the set list was superb and nicely showcased the breadth of the band s catalog. The only real knock is that Lynne has decided to drop Can!@#t Get It Out of My Head -- a highlight from the 2018 tour -- and replace it with Last Train to London. Nothing against Last Train [sic], which is a pretty solid disco-inspired single. But it's anything but an even swap for Can t Get It Out of My Head, which might well be the single greatest ELO song ever." Jim Harrington (June 23, 2019 - The Mercury News review of June 22, 2019 show) "Proving that there's just one small step from symphonic rock to disco, the evening did include two songs from 1979, Last Train to London and Shine a Little Love, hat could have been jettisoned in favor of the aforementioned Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, Strange Magic or just about anything else from the ELO catalog. But, then again, perhaps that's just me." John Sinkevics (July 24, 2019 - Local Spins website review of July 23, 2019 show) "The band played every major ELO hit through 1980, save for the eternal prom theme Strange Magic. From the tender Telephone Line to the chunky rocker Do Ya to the disco-kissed Last Train to London, each song landed a deliriously nostalgic punch." Ross Raihala (July 25, 2019 - Twin Cities Pioneer Press website review of July 25, 2019 show) "Lynne certainly doesn t hide his influences, whether... Bee Gees disco (Last Train to London, Shine a Little Love)..." John Bream (July 26, 2019 - Star Tribune review of July 25, 2019 show) "From the opening number of Standin' In The Rain to Last Train to London to All Over the World, the songs brought that unique ELO sound that feels like an orchestra playing a set aboard a UFO." John Soltes (July 27, 2019 - Hollywood Soapbox website review of July 16, 2019 show) "Last Train to London was a fresh selection from 1979 s Discovery album... Last Train to London gave bassist Lee Pomeroy time to shine as he tackled the song s galloping disco riff and tricky fills with a thousand-watt smile on his face." Jeff Elbel (July 28, 2019 - Illinois Entertainer website review of July 27, 2019 show) "Like many of its peers, ELO was not immune to disco in the late 70s, evidenced by Shine a Little Love and Last Train to London, either or both of which could have been subbed out for the unplayed Strange Magic or Fire on High. You know your catalog of hits is way deep when you re leaving off a song like Strange Magic." Scott Mervis (August 2, 2019 - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette review of August 1, 2019 show)

Xanadu (Live 2019 Tour)
"And two songs from the criminally underrated soundtrack to the unjustly maligned Xanadu again showed the pop brilliance of ELO's contribution to the film. Both All Over The World and the title track were absolute delights." Steve Baltin (June 21, 2019 - Forbes review of June 20, 2019 show) "Following [Rockaria!] with the schmaltzy Xanadu — from the somewhat awful movie of the same name — just showed how completely fluid this band is." Stuart Derdeyn (June 26, 2019 - Vancouver Sun review of June 26, 2019 show) "He would showcase his love of Las Vegas-style showtunes with the cheesy yet romantic and flashy Xanadu." Neil Ferguson (July 2, 2019 - Glide magazine review of June 29, 2019 show) "ELO's career trajectory—from fusty progressive-rock origins to glittery chart toppers—made for a somewhat jarring setlist, as the bubble-headed roller-rink anthem Xanadu sat next to the hoary, technical 10538 Overture." Ned Lannamann (July 2, 2019 - Portland Mercury review of June 29, 2019 show) "They even played Xanadu, a Lynne composition that may be the best thing to come out of the 1980 film flop starring Olivia Newton-John." Dave Paulson (July 4, 2019 - The Tennessean review of July 3, 2019 show) "A 20-song setlist was dotted with historical footnotes, such as... Xanadu, the underappreciated, mellifluous title track of the the much-maligned 1980 Olivia Newton-John movie (the ELO-heavy soundtrack, however, spawned six hits and sold 2 million copies)." Melissa Ruggieri (July 5, 2019 - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution review of July 5, 2019 show) "Xanadu, ELO's 1980 hit with Olivia Newton-John, wasn't far off. " Jay Cridlin (July 7, 2019 - Tampa Bay Times review of the July 7, 2019 show) "The band has played Xanadu as some shows, but didn t Saturday." John J. Moser (July 14, 2019 - The Morning Call review of July 13, 2019 show) "The show then went disco with... Xanadu, which Lynne first did with Olivia Newton-John. The band did not shy away from showing footage from the infamously bad movie (with a famously good soundtrack) that song was the title track of during this part of the show, demonstrating an admirable comfort with all aspects of its past." Jack Butler (July 22, 2019 - Ricochet website review of July 11, 2019 show) Editor's Note: The footage shown was not from the movie, but custom footage of flying through a futuristic landscape. "The band was doing Xanadu earlier in the tour but it's been swapped out for Can t Get it Out of My Head."

Eldorado Overture/Can't Get It Out Of My Head (Live 2019 Tour)
"That was true [that it was so note perfect that it sounded dated] of Can t Get It Out of My Head, ELO s first Top 10 hit in 1979 [sic], though it helped that Lynne sang it with special emphasis. It got big applause, perhaps the audience s salute to nostalgia." John J. Moser (July 14, 2019 - The Morning Call review of July 13, 2019 show) Editor's Note: It was the first top 10 hit in 1974, not 1979. "The band was doing Xanadu earlier in the tour but it's been swapped out for Can t Get it Out of My Head." Ross Raihala (July 25, 2019 - Twin Cities Pioneer Press website review of July 25, 2019 show) "Among the thousands gathered at United Center, there were surely a couple of cross-genre fans who had seen country heartbreak maven John Paul White of The Civil Wars perform his beautifully reinvented version of Can t Get it Out of My Head at Lincoln Hall just two nights earlier. But here at United Center was the original writer, singing the melancholy masterpiece in full flourish with breathtaking instrumentation." Jeff Elbel (July 28, 2019 - Illinois Entertainer website review of July 27, 2019 show) "The 12-piece band played and sang lush, lively versions of the irresistible sing-alongs Do Ya and Livin' Thing, as well as the playful Turn To Stone and the beautifully bittersweet Can't Get It Out Of My Head, on which Mr. Lynne paid homage to the late John Lennon's serrated singing voice." Tom Siebert (July 28, 2019 - patch.com website review of July 27, 2019 show) "One of the biggest vocal challenges for Lynne was Can't Get It Out of My Head, and he and his backups rose to the occasion in lovely fashion."

10538 Overture (Live 2019 Tour)
"Before those tunes, feelings of wistful nostalgia rippled through the air as they sang ELO s first single, 10538 Overture. Vintage pictures and videos of the band played on the screen, bordered by the No Answer record cover art." Kayla Song (July 26, 2019 - The Current website review of July 25, 2019 show) Editor's Note: The graphics were not as described here, but the usual chains and barbed wire graphic. "10538 Overture was a triumphant and hard rocking power pop number" Neil Ferguson (July 2, 2019 - Glide magazine review of June 29, 2019 show) "ELO's career trajectory—from fusty progressive-rock origins to glittery chart toppers—made for a somewhat jarring setlist, as the bubble-headed roller-rink anthem Xanadu sat next to the hoary, technical 10538 Overture."

Melissa Ruggieri (July 5, 2019 - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution review of July 5, 2019 show) "10538 Overture, ELO s first single from 1972, sounded dated." John J. Moser (July 14, 2019 - The Morning Call review of July 13, 2019 show) "/i10538 Overture/i was the next song on the list. I was a bit surprised to see it there at all; this was the first song on ELO s first album, created when the band was a far different entity from what it eventually became. Despite that, I thought their rendition of the song was perhaps the most faithful to the studio version of any song played that night, which is no small feat, given the multitracked cello riffs and difficult vocals of the original." Jack Butler (July 22, 2019 - Ricochet website review of July 11, 2019 show) "For Lynne geeks, there were plenty of payoffs [including]... ELO s first single 10583 Overture (from 1972)..."

"On this night, the disco-flavored Shine A Little Love, accompanied by a stunning green light show, was euphoric." Steve Baltin (June 21, 2019 - Forbes review of June 20, 2019 show) "...disco hit Shine a Little Love would chug forward with a pulsing groove accompanied by a massive display of green lasers." Neil Ferguson (July 2, 2019 - Glide magazine review of June 29, 2019 show) "An array of green lasers cut through the arena during the gleeful clap-along of Shine a Little Love." D. Patrick Rodgers (July 5, 2019 - Nashville Scene review of July 3, 2019 show) "Emerald-colored lasers popped up for Shine a Little Love and the beautifully haunting Telephone Line." Melissa Ruggieri (July 5, 2019 - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution review of July 5, 2019 show) "Shine a Little Love was terminally disco, but at least was fun — played with swirling green laser lights." John J. Moser (July 14, 2019 - The Morning Call review of July 13, 2019 show) "They followed 10538 Overture with another surprise, Wild West Hero, one of the less popular tracks on Out of the Blue, and Shine A Little Love. The latter wasn t a huge surprise as a choice. But the stunning array of laser lights that accompanied it sure was, and served as a reminder that ELO s old shows were almost as well known for their light displays and giant spaceships as for their music."

Wild West Hero (Live 2019 Tour)
"These are not easy songs to duplicate live — Lynne s infatuation with studio work as a producer is legendary — making the five-part harmonies on All Over the World and Wild West Hero not only impressive, but chill-inducing in their perfection." Melissa Ruggieri (July 5, 2019 - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution review of July 5, 2019 show) "And if the sweeping strings and maudlin synths of Wild West Hero and Telephone Line crossed a line of saccharinity, at least they did so proudly, with Lynne's architectural ambition and laser lights on full display." Jay Cridlin (July 7, 2019 - Tampa Bay Times review of the July 7, 2019 show) "The 1978 deep cut Wild West Hero as interesting to hear, but actually was too symphonic and too self-aware." John J.

Jay Cridlin (July 7, 2019 - Tampa Bay Times review of the July 7, 2019 show) "The first notes of Sweet Talkin Woman drew cheers, and Lynne sang it intensely, and the slight vocal and phrasing variations made it even better. It also reminded how good the song s orchestral arrangement is." John J. Moser (July 14, 2019 - The Morning Call review of July 13, 2019 show) "A reverential feel took hold at times on Saturday, as fans sat to absorb the skillfully executed performance, although numbers like Evil Woman, Last Train to London and Sweet Talkin Woman certainly got more than a few of them up and dancing.

Take your choice of the lasers and doo-wop vocals in Telephone Line, the heavy boogie and no-no-no-woo-hoo-hoo singalong in Don't Bring Me Down, swinging Turn to Stone or utterly brilliant bop of Mr. Blue Sky — it was just one peak after another. Talk about getting your money s worth." Stuart Derdeyn (June 26, 2019 - Vancouver Sun review of June 26, 2019 show) "Lynne and his band would close out the set with a master class in pop music craftsmanship, from the epic doo wop chorus of Telephone Line and the biting blues riffing of Don't Bring Me Down, to the ascendant, outrageously catchy harmonies of Turn to Stone and the darkly whimsical psychedelia of Mr. Blue Sky." Neil Ferguson (July 2, 2019 - Glide magazine review of June 29, 2019 show) "The concert's decided peak was a ravishing version of Telephone Line, the gorgeous ballad from A New World Record that Lynne sang as though it were 1976 all over again."

Neil Ferguson (July 2, 2019 - Glide magazine review of June 29, 2019 show) "Like many of ELO's best songs, the concert's setlist reached a magnificent crescendo. Sweet Talkin' Woman and early hit ballad Telephone Line gave way to Don't Bring Me Down — the band's biggest U.S. hit, if you couldn't tell by the scores of fans hopping out of their seats and pumping their fists." Dave Paulson (July 4, 2019 - The Tennessean review of July 3, 2019 show) "Lynne & Co. finished off their main set with an undeniable four-song run of bangers: the lovesick ballad for the ages, Telephone Line, followed by Don't Bring Me Down, Turn to Stone and Mr. Blue Sky..." D. Patrick Rodgers (July 5, 2019 - Nashville Scene review of July 3, 2019 show) "[The crowd] reveled in not only the memories provided by Do Ya and Don't Bring Me Down, but the songs stunning live reproduction." Melissa Ruggieri (July 5, 2019 - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution review of July 5, 2019 show) "The boisterous piano pulse of Evil Woman, chug-a-lugging blues of Rockaria! and ageless shag-carpet shuffle of Don't Bring Me Down pulled fans to their feet." Jay Cridlin (July 7, 2019 - Tampa Bay Times review of the July 7, 2019 show) "Don't Bring Me Down, an uncharacteristically hard ELO song was perhaps the night s second-best song, and as ELO s highest-charting U.S. single would seem to have been the perfect set closer." John J. Moser (July 14, 2019 - The Morning Call review of July 13, 2019 show) "Nearly every song from the band s hit catalog was represented at the show save for Strange Magic, including classic anthems like Livin Thing, Don't Bring Me Down, Evil Woman and the set closer Mr. Blue Sky..." Fred Pessaro (July 17, 2019 - Brooklyn Vegan review of July 16, 2019 show) "From here to the end of the show it was hit after hit: Don't Bring Me Down, ELO s biggest-ever song in America..." Jack Butler (July 22, 2019 - Ricochet website review of July 11, 2019 show) "Lynne certainly doesn t hide his influences, whether... Elton John piano rock (Don't Bring Me Down)" John Bream (July 26, 2019 - Star Tribune review of July 25, 2019 show) "The well-known tracks were enjoyable and instigated instantaneous singalongs; they included Evil Woman, Don't Bring Me Down, Sweet Talkin Woman and Mr. Blue Sky. Unfortunately Strange Magic was missing from the set." John Soltes (July 27, 2019 - Hollywood Soapbox website review of July 16, 2019 show) "[The show included] rock stomper Don't Bring Me Down, given pile-driving percussion by drummer Donovan Hepburn." Jeff Elbel (July 28, 2019 - Illinois Entertainer website review of July 27, 2019 show) "ELO's music has always been futuristic but fun too. During the thunderous Don't Bring Me Down, from 1979's Discovery LP, the crowd delighted in shouting the name 'Bruce!' following the title line." Tom Siebert (July 28, 2019 - patch.com website review of July 27, 2019 show) "The last 20 minutes or so rocked the tour to a joyous finish with Sweet Talkin' Woman, Don't Bring Me Down (groos!), Turn to Stone and Mr. Blue Sky." Scott Mervis (August 2, 2019 - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette review of August 1, 2019 show)

Turn To Stone (Live 2019 Tour)
"Making their third appearance in Southern California in the last three years, Lynne and his exemplary band dazzled by mixing in a healthy dose of surprise selections and deeper hits with the requisite have to do songs, like Turn To Stone, Livin' Thing and the brilliant closer, Mr. Blue Sky, a song whose joy is as vibrant and necessary as it was 40 years ago." Steve Baltin (June 21, 2019 - Forbes review of June 20, 2019 show) "Not many bands can deliver a sequence of all-killer/no-filler hits in a row like ELO did to finish an already hit-laden set. Take your choice of the lasers and doo-wop vocals in Telephone Line, the heavy boogie and no-no-no-woo-hoo-hoo singalong in Don't Bring Me Down, swinging Turn to Stone or utterly brilliant bop of Mr. Blue Sky — it was just one peak after another. Talk about getting your money s worth." Stuart Derdeyn (June 26, 2019 - Vancouver Sun review of June 26, 2019 show) "It was Turn to Stone, the opening track to their double album Out of the Blue, that brought the entirety of the arena to their feet." Kayla Song (July 26, 2019 - The Current website review of July 25, 2019 show) "Lynne and his band would close out the set with a master class in pop music craftsmanship, from the epic doo wop chorus of Telephone Line and the biting blues riffing of Don't Bring Me Down, to the ascendant, outrageously catchy harmonies of Turn to Stone and the darkly whimsical psychedelia of Mr. Blue Sky." Neil Ferguson (July 2, 2019 - Glide magazine review of June 29, 2019 show) "They closed with two cuts from 1977's Out of The Blue: Turn to Stone and Mr. Blue Sky..." Dave Paulson (July 4, 2019 - The Tennessean review of July 3, 2019 show) "Lynne & Co. finished off their main set with an undeniable four-song run of bangers: the lovesick ballad for the ages, Telephone Line, followed by Don't Bring Me Down, Turn to Stone and Mr. Blue Sky..." D. Patrick Rodgers (July 5, 2019 - Nashville Scene review of July 3, 2019 show) "Two cellists (Amy Langley and Jess Cox) and a violinist (Jessie Murphy) provided the juicy texture on so many classics from the ELO oeuvre (Livin Thing, Turn to Stone)" Melissa Ruggieri (July 5, 2019 - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution review of July 5, 2019 show) "The pristinely executed classic-rock arrangements of Turn To Stone and Mr. Blue Sky showed that, for all the love lavished on Queen and Elton John of late, Lynne's comfortably in their league as a composer." Jay Cridlin (July 7, 2019 - Tampa Bay Times review of the July 7, 2019 show) "The same was true [that it was really good] for Turn to Stone, which, as good as the original version is, was elevated by Lynne s slight phrasing changes and the ending with him and his backing guitarist together strumming acoustic guitars. It got a standing ovation." John J. Moser (July 14, 2019 - The Morning Call review of July 13, 2019 show) "From here to the end of the show it was hit after hit [including] Turn To Stone, a favorite of mine, whose deliberately sped-up middle eight the band nailed or at least appeared to nail without the aid of any pre-taped trickery (an unfair criticism of the older shows, and a seemingly quaint one given what concerts have become since)" Jack Butler (July 22, 2019 - Ricochet website review of July 11, 2019 show) "Lynne certainly doesn t hide his influences, whether the harmonies of the Beach Boys (Sweet Talkin Woman, Turn to Stone)... [...] The more than 14,000 fans ate up all the radio hits, giving Do Ya and especially Turn to Stone extra-long ovations." John Bream (July 26, 2019 - Star Tribune review of July 25, 2019 show) "Crowd favorites also included... Turn to Stone, which appeared near the end of the set." John Soltes (July 27, 2019 - Hollywood Soapbox website review of July 16, 2019 show) "Following the adrenaline rush of Turn to Stone and the euphoric Mr. Blue Sky from the same album, Lynne and company left the stage." Jeff Elbel (July 28, 2019 - Illinois Entertainer website review of July 27, 2019 show) "The 12-piece band played and sang lush, lively versions of the irresistible sing-alongs Do Ya and Livin' Thing, as well as the playful Turn To Stone and the beautifully bittersweet Can't Get It Out Of My Head, on which Mr. Lynne paid homage to the late John Lennon's serrated singing voice." Tom Siebert (July 28, 2019 - patch.com website review of July 27, 2019 show) "The last 20 minutes or so rocked the tour to a joyous finish with Sweet Talkin' Woman, Don't Bring Me Down (groos!), Turn to Stone and Mr. Blue Sky."

Mr. Blue Sky (Live 2019 Tour)
"Making their third appearance in Southern California in the last three years, Lynne and his exemplary band dazzled by mixing in a healthy dose of surprise selections and deeper hits with the requisite have to do songs, like Turn To Stone, Livin' Thing and the brilliant closer, Mr. Blue Sky, a song whose joy is as vibrant and necessary as it was 40 years ago. Mr. Blue Sky has become one of those rock anthems that is an absolute must see at least once in your life, though it never loses its sense of fun and magic. It's a song that you can watch night after night." Steve Baltin (June 21, 2019 - Forbes review of June 20, 2019 show) "Not many bands can deliver a sequence of all-killer/no-filler hits in a row like ELO did to finish an already hit-laden set.

Neil Ferguson (July 2, 2019 - Glide magazine review of June 29, 2019 show) "After a set-closing and triumphant Mr. Blue Sky, Saturday night's show drew to a close with a succinct encore of Roll Over Beethoven." Ned Lannamann (July 2, 2019 - Portland Mercury review of June 29, 2019 show) "They closed with two cuts from 1977's Out of The Blue: Turn to Stone and Mr. Blue Sky, which surprisingly became the band's most beloved song in the 21st century, through countless film, TV and commercial placements." Dave Paulson (July 4, 2019 - The Tennessean review of July 3, 2019 show) "Lynne & Co. finished off their main set with an undeniable four-song run of bangers: the lovesick ballad for the ages, Telephone Line, followed by Don't Bring Me Down, Turn to Stone and Mr. Blue Sky, the latter an impossibly bright burst of optimism as always." D. Patrick Rodgers (July 5, 2019 - Nashville Scene review of July 3, 2019 show) "But when you can strum a dreamy ballad (When I Was a Boy, from 2015 s Alone in the Universe) and uncork a sumptuous Beatles homage (Mr. Blue Sky) in the same show, who needs talking?" Melissa Ruggieri (July 5, 2019 - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution review of July 5, 2019 show) "The pristinely executed classic-rock arrangements of Turn To Stone and Mr. Blue Sky showed that, for all the love lavished on Queen and Elton John of late, Lynne's comfortably in their league as a composer." Jay Cridlin (July 7, 2019 - Tampa Bay Times review of the July 7, 2019 show) "But Lynne closed with a lesser ELO hit, Mr. Blue Sky, a six-minute symphonic suite that perhaps showed the essence of the band, but was hardly powerful." John J. Moser (July 14, 2019 - The Morning Call review of July 13, 2019 show) "Nearly every song from the band s hit catalog was represented at the show save for Strange Magic, including classic anthems like Livin Thing, Don't Bring Me Down, Evil Woman and the set closer Mr. Blue Sky..." Fred Pessaro (July 17, 2019 - Brooklyn Vegan review of July 16, 2019 show) "Mr. Blue Sky [was] later doing its jaunty thing to close the main set." Brian McCollum (July 20, 2019 - Detroit Free Press review of July 20, 2019 show) "From here to the end of the show it was hit after hit [including], of course, Mr. Blue Sky, mine and everyone else s favorite ELO song, which was done practically perfectly. They even did the full minute-plus segment of the song that is technically just the end of the 'Concerto for a Rainy Day' suite from Out of the Blue, all the way to the 'please turn me over,' an artifact from the age when you had to flip over the vinyl, as the 'Concerto' took up side three of that album. It was also a great bookend to Standin in the Rain, which began the show, as that was the beginning of the 'Concerto.' I would have been happy if my first experience of live ELO had ended here. And I thought it had." Jack Butler (July 22, 2019 - Ricochet website review of July 11, 2019 show) "From Standin' In The Rain that got things started in high-tech-light-and-video-festooned fashion to Mr. Blue Sky that closed out the main set (followed by the as-expected Roll Over Beethoven encore), Lynne, his prodigiously talented seven-piece band, a string trio and two backing vocalists delivered a 21-song retrospective that was part pop spectacle, part eye candy and part rock extravaganza led by a 71-year-old guitarist and singer who can still hold his own." John Sinkevics (July 24, 2019 - Local Spins website review of July 23, 2019 show) "The band concluded the night with a bright blue sky backdrop with tumbling clouds for their famous song, Mr. Blue Sky, which was featured in the international hit movie Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2." Kayla Song (July 26, 2019 - The Current website review of July 25, 2019 show) "The well-known tracks were enjoyable and instigated instantaneous singalongs; they included Evil Woman, Don't Bring Me Down, Sweet Talkin Woman and Mr. Blue Sky.

Jeff Elbel (July 28, 2019 - Illinois Entertainer website review of July 27, 2019 show) "And has there ever been a more entertaining tune than 1977's Mr. Blue Sky, with its bending guitar solo, cello chorus stops, and more cowbell than Christopher Walken could ever want?" Tom Siebert (July 28, 2019 - patch.com website review of July 27, 2019 show) "The last 20 minutes or so rocked the tour to a joyous finish with Sweet Talkin' Woman, Don't Bring Me Down (groos!), Turn to Stone and Mr. Blue Sky."

Roll Over Beethoven (Live 2019 Tour)
"He also turned in some beautifully restrained and refined guitar work, although there were a few fretboard fireworks reserved for songs like Showdown and, especially, the regular Roll Over Beethoven show closer." Jim Harrington (June 23, 2019 - Mercury News review of June 22, 2019 show) "Returning to the stage for one encore, the band would cap off an already mind-blowing show with a huge guitar-shredding blowout of Chuck Berry s rock and roll classic Roll Over Beethoven. The song choice signaled that Jeff Lynne has never strayed far from the music that inspired him so many years ago, and that he embraces his role as a torch-bearing rock legend. It was also a reminder that, even though so many great artists have passed recently, we still have a few heroes willing to pack arenas and stage hit-filled performances." Neil Ferguson (July 2, 2019 - Glide magazine review of June 29, 2019 show) "After a set-closing and triumphant Mr. Blue Sky, Saturday night's show drew to a close with a succinct encore of Roll Over Beethoven. ELO's cover of the Chuck Berry chestnut has always been an acute demonstration of the overblown tendencies of '70s FM arena rock. But ELO was one of the bands to define arena rock in the first place, and their songs, which are now firmly ensconced in middle age, sounded perfectly at home inside Portland's largest indoor venue." Ned Lannamann (July 2, 2019 - Portland Mercury review of June 29, 2019 show) "After taking a selfie in front of their audience (which Lynne, endearingly, felt the need to explain), the band walked off stage. They returned for a one-song encore with Roll Over Beethoven — specifically, the Ludwig-meets-Chuck-Berry blend they had a hit with in 1973." Dave Paulson (July 4, 2019 - The Tennessean review of July 3, 2019 show) "After asking the crowd to indulge him in taking a selfie — it was a sweetly paternal moment, and possibly the most words he said all evening — Lynne brought his band back out for a single-song encore. They closed it down where it all began, more or less: with a stretched-out rendition of Roll Over Beethoven, ELO's heavily tweaked 1973 Chuck Berry cover and the group's first charting U.S. single. There was plenty of room for solos, of course, and Lynne is still a shredder. It was a fitting end to a 90-minute set that, even if it didn t offer the thrill of unpredictability, was quite satisfying." D. Patrick Rodgers (July 5, 2019 - Nashville Scene review of July 3, 2019 show) "But he remedied that by returning for an encore of a seven-minute Roll Over Beethoven, the symphony-meets-Chuck-Berry cover than introduced ELO to the U.S. charts. ELO pulled out all the stops -- Lynne s guitar parts were especially good -- and rocked. Simply rocked. And jammed." John J. Moser (July 14, 2019 - The Morning Call review of July 13, 2019 show) "But if I had paid closer attention to my [1978 Wembley] concert DVD, I would have known better. Fortunately, the friends I was with urged me to stay, so I got to see what came next. When, out of the darkness, I suddenly heard a musical quote from Beethoven, I knew what was coming: ELO s prog-rockabilly cover of Roll Over Beethoven, a raucous masterpiece from the band s second album. This was also how the aforementioned concert DVD also encored, so, again, I should have known better. For I would have been truly distraught if I had missed the next eight minutes of foot-tapping, guitar-strumming, violin-burning symphonic rock. And I was glad that I did not. That was the real end of the ELO concert, about which I have few complaints." Jack Butler (July 22, 2019 - Ricochet website review of July 11, 2019 show) "From Standin' In The Rain that got things started in high-tech-light-and-video-festooned fashion to Mr. Blue Sky that closed out the main set (followed by the as-expected Roll Over Beethoven encore), Lynne, his prodigiously talented seven-piece band, a string trio and two backing vocalists delivered a 21-song retrospective that was part pop spectacle, part eye candy and part rock extravaganza led by a 71-year-old guitarist and singer who can still hold his own." John Sinkevics (July 24, 2019 - Local Spins website review of July 23, 2019 show) "Lynne certainly doesn t hide his influences, whether... Chuck Berry rock n roll (an extended encore mashup of Berry s Roll Over Beethoven with Beethoven s Fifth Symphony, featuring hot guitar by Lynne) and the Beatles (just about every song)." John Bream (July 26, 2019 - Star Tribune review of July 25, 2019 show) "Fans cheered all the members back to the stage, and Chuck Berry's Roll Over Beethoven, punctuated by strains of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, was played as the encore." Kayla Song (July 26, 2019 - The Current website review of July 25, 2019 show) "The band returned for an encore of the song that informed the band s blueprint, Chuck Berry s immortal Roll Over Beethoven." Jeff Elbel (July 28, 2019 - Illinois Entertainer website review of July 27, 2019 show) "The evening's encore was fittingly Roll Over Beethoven, which opens with the master composer's dramatic first movement from his fabled 'Fifth Symphony,' heady stuff for the pop music world of 1973 when the hit single was featured on the album ELO 2. The classic song was written by Chuck Berry, who invented rock 'n' roll, and in recent years led a sad procession of music giants who have left us, including David Bowie, Tom Petty, and Glenn Frey of The Eagles." Tom Siebert (July 28, 2019 - patch.com website review of July 27, 2019 show) "I must be going to the wrong shows because it's been too long since I ve seen one end on a Chuck Berry note. Nothing against Beethoven s Fifth, but it was pure satisfaction to watch Lynne break into it with the riff of Roll Over Beethoven, which capped the night with an ecstatic jam that had the pianists pounding and the guitarist (not Lynne) rolling on the floor."
