Movie Reviews of Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) - Zoom Tour Live
Movie Review: Amazing Show from an Amazing Band
Summary: 5 Stars
My expectations for this DVD prior to seeing it but after ordering it from Amazon were mixed. E.L.O. is easily in the top 3 of my favorite musical acts just based on their studio albums alone, but how would they sound live? Not only that but how would they sound after it being so long (over 15 years) since they had disbanded?
The performance on this DVD blew away even my highest expectations. The only downside to it was that, as with any good thing, I wish it had lasted longer. As it is, it is a solid hour and a half of pure E.L.O in top form. The newer songs from the Zoom album fit in nicely with their older stuff. Nothing is out of place.
I have never seen another performance of E.L.O. live so I can't say how it stacks up against some of their other performances as far as song list and number and identity of individual performers go, but as I said, they do everything here nicely with what seems to be a minimum of artists(just under 10, I believe) considering the complexity of the music.
If you're a fan of great music and being entertained then you can't go wrong with this DVD. I only pray that they go on tour again so I can see them live in person. Hey, I can dream.
Summary of Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) - Zoom Tour Live
This superlative concert video is a godsend for fans of Electric Light Orchestra, since ELO's Zoom tour was cut short, sadly, because of lackluster ticket sales. Judging from this tour-opening performance (in May 2001, at the CBS studios in Los Angeles), those canceled gigs were a major loss, because Jeff Lynne's revamped ELO is in top form, playing six new songs from Zoom (ELO's first release in 15 years) and 17 hits from the band's beloved legacy. Like the meticulous producer he is, guitarist-composer Lynne plays cordial frontman to an appreciative audience, and his re-creation of ELO's classical-rock sound is astonishing in its fidelity to the studio recordings. From the moment ELO's signature "space-ship" stage blossoms to reveal Lynne's eight-piece ensemble (including, of course, two cellists), there's not a weak song in the brisk 98-minute set. Zoom Tour Live is ample compensation for those who bought useless tickets to an ill-fated show. --Jeff ShannonElectric Light Orchestra took rock in a new direction, combining lush orchestrations with a pop sensibility, rapidly scoring 17 Top 40 hits. After a lengthy absence from U.S. stages, ELO, headed by Jeff Lynne, returns in this much-anticipated performance kicking off the new "Zoom" album at CBS Television City in Los Angeles with all of the lavish spectacle the band is famous for in this state-of-the-art concert. Songs: Do Ya, Evil Woman, Showdown, Strange Magic, Livin' Thing, Alright, Lonesome Lullaby, Telephone Line, Turn To Stone, Just For Love, Easy Money, Mr. Blue Sky, Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, One Summer Dream, Tightrope, State Of Mind, Can't Get It Out Of My Head, Moment In Paradise, 10538 Overture, Ordinary Dream, Shine A Little Love, Don't Bring Me Down, Roll Over Beethoven. Interview with Jeff Lynne (9 min.); Fan Club segment (2 min.)
