For us Baby Boomers, January 1st, 1980 was "THE FUTURE". ELO was one of the very few bands from that time to have exemplified that emotion; that feeling that our flying cars and space travel were just around the corner. 40 years later we still haven't got them, but at the time, they gave us that feeling of possibility. What I like most about them and this show is that nobody sounds like them (which was normal in the Rock-n-Roll era). Everybody had their own sound. Jeff Lynne is another in a long line of fantastic musicians that are better live than on their records.
That said, this was a wonderful, well played trip down memory lane. I highly recommend a trip over to youtube to watch this absolute joy of a performance.
