Movie Reviews of Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) - Out of the Blue: Live at Wembley

Movie Review: 5 Stars for ELO fans only
Summary: 5 Stars

About time the rumor that ELO used lip sync is finally put to rest. Although the audio could be better (remember this was recorded in 1977).
I give this 5 stars for ELO fans only. They were and still are one of the greatest of all time.
Music majors listen to the melody of these tunes and learn.
For a true nostalgic trip you need to get all 3 ELO DVD's
This one (the remastered 1977 concert)
Second, the original DVD with the lousy overdubs but it includes the "videos" for the "79 album Discovery - Priceless.
Third, get the the 2001 Zoom tour DVD all done live and it will blow your mind how good Jeff Lynn was and still is.

Summary of Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) - Out of the Blue: Live at Wembley

Throughout their career, Electric Light Orchestra gained a deserved reputation for creating spectacular live shows and this reached its pinnacle with the "Out of the Blue" world tour in 1978. This special edition presents the concert from London's Wembley Arena in DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound, and the highest quality PCM stereo for the first time, all newly re-mastered from the original tapes. With a tracklisting that includes classics such as "Mr. Blue Sky", "Livin' Thing", "Sweet Talkin' Woman", "Telephone Line", "Wild West Hero", "Roll Over Beethoven" and many more, this is the definitive edition of the ultimate Electric Light Orchestra concert.

Tracklisting:
1) Introduction
2) Standin' In The Rain
3) Night In The City
4) Turn To Stone
5) Tightrope
6) Telephone Line
7) Rockaria!
8) Wild West Hero
9) Showdown
10) Sweet Talkin' Woman
11) Mr. Blue Sky
12) Do Ya
13) Livin' Thing
14) Roll Over Beethoven

Bombast, Beatles, and big hair are the order of the day on Out of the Blue: Live at Wembley, a 1978 show by Jeff Lynne and his Electric Light Orchestra at that fabled London arena. This was a charity event with a couple of Royals in attendance, not to mention actor (and renowned music authority) Tony Curtis, who introduces the band as "the most outstanding rock group in the world today." In their dreams, maybe. Still, ELO managed to thrive in an era when the punk movement was obliterating many "dinosaur" bands of their ilk, with a string of hits and a flashy, entertaining stage show (the spaceship set is a trip), all on display throughout this hour-long performance. They cram a full thirteen tunes into that time, focusing on Out of the Blue, a double vinyl album which included the undeniably catchy hits "Turn to Stone" and "Sweet Talkin' Woman"; we also get "Telephone Line," "Showdown," "Do Ya," and an extended "Roll Over Beethoven" to close the show. It's no coincidence that Lynne, who wrote, sang, and produced ELO's material, would go on to produce George Harrison's Cloud Nine and later preside over the mid-'90s reunion that saw Harrison, Ringo Starr, and Paul McCartney complete two "new" John Lennon songs. Lynne and his band were unabashed Beatlemaniacs, and mixed in with their rock-cum-pseudo-classical sound was the almost constant influence of the Fabs ("Mr. Blue Sky," to name just one, bears more than a passing resemblance to the McCartney-penned middle section of "A Day in the Life"). Of course, echoing the Beatles is neither an uncommon nor a bad thing, and Out of the Blue: Live at Wembley, which features digitally remastered sound, is good, dumb fun. The DVD package includes a too-small reproduction of the original tour program. --Sam Graham
