\u201cJeff Lynne\u2019s ELO revives \u201870s symph-pop greatness\u2026 a brilliant catalog returns to U.S. stages and gives the strings-starved people what they want. The ELO catalog speaks for itself\u2026 and it was a glorious thing to behold\u2026 in a 19-song set that reprised the closest thing to truly Beatle-level pop the 1970s had to offer.\u201d \u2013 Variety <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cJeff Lynne\u2019s ELO proves timeless & spectacular\u2026 When Lynne came out with the group, the crowd went wild. The show was loaded with virtually every top hit the band recorded. Every musician on stage was fantastic while the arrangements and sound quality almost made the audience forget they were watching a live performance and not listening to their old LP records.\u201d \u2013 Glide Magazine<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cJeff Lynne, ELO deliver night of magic memories\u2026 the band\u2019s 20-song set proved to be well worth the long wait\u2026 Lynne led his band through some 90 minutes of glorious ELO classics in front of a sold-out crowd. ELO\u2019s music still sounds light years ahead of most of the bands heard on pop music radio today.\u201d \u2013 San Jose Mercury News<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cJeff Lynne\u2019s ELO prove that spacy pop rock is still a livin\u2019 thing\u2026 one of the most flawless and visually stunning arena shows I’ve seen in a long time. Complete with monstrous lights, lasers and the mandatory ELO spaceship hovering behind the band on video screens, the show was as grand and engrossing as a blockbuster movie \u2014 a \u201970s blockbuster movie, that is.\u201d \u2013 LA Weekly <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cJeff Lynne\u2019s ELO is practically a religious experience for rock \u2018n\u2019 roll disciples\u201d \u2013 Houston Press<\/em><\/p>\n
