WOW, ELO is better than Ever
by jimpower on 9/12/16Hollywood Bowl - HollywoodWhat can I say. The last time I saw Jeff Lynne in a show was Anaheim Stadium 1978. Tony Curtus was shooting Alien's with a lazar. This weekend 2016 with the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, Jeff Lynne was SO AMAZING. I went opening night and sat pretty close and he proved himself again as one of "Rock n Roll's" greatest of all time. The first night I got the feel of all on stage as the set list just kept delivering one powerful song after another. There were several tear jerker moments. I loved the experience so much that I went a second time Saturday night and sat in the middle and half way up the bowl. That experience gave all the visual events that up close does not see. He had lazer's floating off a smoke screed similar to Disney's World of Color. Opening song with Orchestra only then leading into ELO guitarist Jeff Lynne making it happen. Same thing with closing song "Roll Over" Same thing orchestra serious playing for a minute then bring in Jeff ripping off a lead guitar lick and off we go. The second night event with all the songs playing and lots of dancing. I hope you went. you missed a unforgettable night. Thank you Jeff Lynne.
