Summary: It's awesome!
Review: Great sound mix, excellent video, and the band sounds fantastic.

You really get a sense of how appreciative Jeff Lynne is of the fans, it really is too bad the tour was cancelled.

Trust me, watching his "co singer" Rosie Vela is worth the price alone.

If you like ELO at all, you'll love this disk. Did I mention 24 tracks?

Summary: Just a VERY GOOD DD Performance
Review: When I received my DVD and opened it, I was very skeptical about it being distributed by IMAGE Entertainment.This didn't take long to change my mind, 5 stars for the digital mastering, finally a DVD done in good digital taste.This recording is a complete, full sounding 5.1 DD and DTS that makes your home theater system work the way it was suppose to.( hope you have a GOOD subwoofer)ELO always was a different type of music and listening to it on FM or CD, you never got the fulfilled sound of what this group could do, especially in the percussion dept.Richard Tandy (Piano/Keyboards) his talent has finally been recorded properly.Even though he's not an original ELO person.I recommend this to any person that wants to see or demonstrate a Home Theater System, even if your not a ELO fan... It all falls together. Also would have loved to seen it in High Def, which it was recorded. By the way, I don't usually give 5 STARS.

Summary: It's all Lynne
Review: I recall the spectacle of seeing ELO in concert once before (unfortunately, it was on TV) and how "spread out" the band was on stage. There were tons of flashing lights and, other than the drummer, most of the band members were at the forefront of the stage. This show is a little different. It feels like more of a private concert and the focus is entirely on Jeff Lynne. Arguably, it should be, since he is the band. But to have a guitarist and bassist stand at the back while a backup vocalist playing no instrument stands at the front? I don't get that. Plus, her swaying back and forth was distracting. I admit that this vocalist, Rosie Vela (Lynne's girlfriend), was very attractive, as well as the cellists. The only other ELO member present prior to the new album is Richard Tandy, who does a great job filling in some violin parts on keyboard. Though Lynne doesn't look like he has aged much, Tandy reminds us how long this band has been around.

The music sounds as good as it ever did, but the presentation seems lifeless at times...until "Roll Over Beethoven." Dry ice covers the stage from all sides and there are lights galore. This part also reminded me how underrated Lynne is on guitar. I wish more of the show was like this. There are some other great features on the disc, including an interview with Lynne. I would definitely recommend it to any ELO fan.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: one of the best!
Review: Great sound and picture with a very entertaining line up of songs. Does Jeff Lynne ever age?(the Dick Clark complex) I have never heard his voice sound better than in this concert. Such an under-rated producer,singer,and all round talent. Buy this!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Classic ELO Returns!!
Review: Just bought the DVD after it 'finally' released on the British shores but it was well worth the wait!! Totally excellent DVD and will go nicely next to my other ELO DVD title, 'Live at Wembley' and 'Discovery'. A shame to hear about what happened to the Zoom tour, surely would not have any problems if the tour was to come to England. They always loved playing back home, I'm sure there would be a sellout over here.

Come on Jeff, come back home......

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: FIVE STARS!!!! GREAT PERFORMANCE!!!!
Review: WHEN I PURCHASED THIS DVD I NEVER COULD HAVE IMAGINED WHAT AN EXCELLENT SHOW THIS WOULD BE. IT WAS REALLY HARD TO BELIEVE THIS WAS A "LIVE" PERFORMANCE. THE MUSIC IS INCREDIBLE AND JEFF LYNNE CONTINUES TO PROVE THAT HIS MUSIC AND SONG WRITING IS RIGHT UP THERE WITH LENNON & McCARTNEY. IF YOU PURCHASE THIS DVD, YOU'LL TREASURE IT FOREVER AND YOU WILL JOIN THE RANKS OF ELO FANS FROM ALL AROUND THE GLOBE WHO FEEL THE SAME. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! YOU CAN PROBABLY TELL THAT I DON'T USUALLY WRITE REVIEWS, BUT IN THIS CASE I COULD NOT RESIST PASSING THIS ALONG.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: What more could you want?
Review: Like a lot of rabid ELO fans, I jumped at this DVD at the first opportunity. Jeff Lynne returns to the live stage hot on the heels of his album "Zoom". He has put together an interesting mix of old and new faces with keyboardist Richard Tandy the only survivor from the original years to put in an appearance. Lynne's current girlfriend Rosie Vella does her best hippy impression by swaying an awful lot whilst providing excellent backing vocals. The rhythm section is as tight as one could want (the drummer even using a fire extinguisher at one point!) and the small but highly attractive cello section rounds out the ensemble. The setlist is pretty good with the expected plundering of new material dotted throughout the set which has heavy emphasis on the "Out Of The Blue" and "New World Record" albums. Sadly, the eighties have vanished in Lynne's eyes and albums such as "Time" and "Secret Messages" don't get a mention. This, in my mind, is the solitary drawback to this set. The sound is excellent and the picture good. I must admit that the moronic American crowd got on my nerves with a standing ovation after each number. Please guys, give it a break!!!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A little overproduced, but still a must
Review: Yeah, I'm one of those unlucky soul's holding onto tickets for the ill fated Zoom tour. This recording goes along way to heal the wound. The song selection is great. Though, I wish there had been a couple of tracks from Balance of Power. And, the production is so polished that it's hard to tell that this is a live recording.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Extraordinary!!
Review: Fabulous DVD. Contains classic songs from ELO and some new hits. Excellent DTS sound and very good picture quality. Highly recommended.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SUPERB!!!
Review: I can't get over how GOOD this dvd is!!! This performance really brings back the timelessness of some legendary songs and some really good new songs by jeff lynne and elo!! I really hope this tour will come back after people realize just what they could have seen!If you get this you will feel the same way!!!Buy this dvd and a ticket if you are lucky enough to catch the new ELO!!
