Jeff Lynne's ELO at the O2


Who would have thought that after his 2001 "Zoom" tour was cancelled, Jeff Lynne would sell out 14 UK venues for 170,000 people. That's thirty years since he last toured. Last night at the O2 we were treated to the most spectacular show I have ever seen. The visuals were out of this world, a different theme for every song.


All the hits were played with ruthless efficiency. Even the ringing on "Telephone Line" rocked the arena, coupled with hi tech projections I will never forget. Can you see what I mean?



The thirteen strong band were great led by original pianist Richard Tandy. The sound was just brilliant. What a night, ending with a wonderful Mr Blue Sky.
