Opening tonight was Rooney. They are from Los Angeles and are a good band. I watched about half their set and it was simple and effective.

No up next is Jeff Lynne’s ELO. WOW What a show. All the thrills and wows and hits. He came out and did One More Time and Evil Woman. At first we thought he did not get on with it during Evil Woman but he picked it up right away. He must missed a few lyrics. Do Ya and Showdown were next.

Now the band. The band is spectacular. The orchestra part is lead by three woman 2 on cellos and one on violin. The band had 2 guitar players, bass player, 3 keyboard players, a backup singer and a an other singer and percussionist. They all played the songs perfectly.

The stage was so cool. Their was a massive special of  lights and lasers. There was a round circle in the center, and two huge screens on each side. This is a really cool stage.

The rest of the tunes was hit after hit. Believe me Now, Rockaria, 10538 Overture, Strange Magic, Living Thing. Telephone Line, All Over the World. Turn to Stone and Mr Blue Sky.

This show is not to be missed.
