Depuis le début des années 1970, l'Electric Light Orchestra d'Angleterre a combiné une orchestration complexe et complète avec un squelette pop sous-jacent, devenant l'un des groupes de "prog-rock" les plus populaires et les plus influents de l'histoire.

Dans les années 1970, l'Electric Light Orchestra d'Angleterre (alias ELO) était réputé à la fois pour son rock progressif à la texture luxuriante et ses concerts d'arène richement orchestrés. Ce programme capture le groupe en live au stade de Wembley à Londres pour soutenir leur album OUT OF THE BLUE en 1978, combinant un spectacle de lumière spectaculaire et des effets spéciaux avec des airs classiques tels que "Standing in the Rain", "Sweet Talking Woman", " Mr. Blue Sky », et bien d'autres.

On a sunny day in September 2014, Jeff Lynne, head honcho of 70s hit-making band ELO, took to the stage in London's Hyde Park and, with the help of his backing band and the strings of the BBC Concert Orchestra, brought to a close Radio 2's Live in Hyde Park annual festival. After an absence from the live stage for 28 years, this headline set by Jeff Lynne's ELO was a much-anticipated and talked-about event. In front of 50,000 people, Jeff Lynne delivered a rousing and crowd-pleasing string of the Electric Light Orchestra's chart-topping hits, including Livin' Thing, Sweet Talkin' Woman, Don't Bring Me Down, Mr Blue Sky, and Roll Over Beethoven. And there was also Jeff's touching tribute to his band buddies from Traveling Wilburys, in his performance of their 1988 hit Handle With Care.
