JEFF LYNNE'S ELO - WEMBLEY OR BUST

And Jeff's Orchestra didn't bust, at all. In fact, they did a fantastic job bringing those glory days back to life. As for the highlights featured in this full-scale revamp of their classics, we must stop and note, first of all, the long-time awaited reinstating of the classic E.L.O. string array of two chellos and single violin, restoring in that way the rich tonal palette in the mid- & upper range, a welcomed treat to prog ears. Note also a fine rendition of "When I Was A Boy", from Alone In The Universe. But the unexpected showstoppers here are, of course Travelling Wilbury's classic "Handle With Care", and, almost undreamable, "Xanadu" with vocals not by Olivia Newton-John this time, but by Jeff himself.
