Full Concert - Electric Light Orchestra Part 2 with Moscow Synphony Orchestra 

Don't get me wrong, I love Jeff and everything about him, and all he does, the guy is a genius. The Traveling Wilburys was just pure inspiration. But what Bev did with these guys for ELO Part II was pure genius in itself. Jeff may have wanted to stop ELO, (producing and touring), but Bev didn't, and he had an equal say in what direction this band went through. He even could have carried on with the name ELO, but out of respect for his friend jeff, re-branded it. So many good artists from this line up sadly no longer with us though, Kelly G, Hugh M, Pete H and Louis C. RIP you awesome musicians, we will never forget you guys!

I was there. Was almost in tears at the end of Honest Men as the rock/orchestra integration simply blew me away, with the mso playing the fade out on that track. It’s a pity Jeff never did this himself, The Hyde park gig carries a mini orchestra.

Lets get this into proportion, in 1986 Jeff Lynne was tired with the ELO project, so he disbanded it and became a Traveling Wilbury for three years and a couple of albums. Then for ten years Lynne wrote songs and produced for other musical acts. During this time Lynne's ex-band mates were touring as "ELO Part II" under Bevan's leadership, keeping Lynne's music alive in Concert Halls and Stadiums around the globe, as well as throwing in some of there own compositions for good measure. In 2001 Lynne released a solo album with guest musicians, he called the album "Zoom" and claimed it was by Electric Light Orchestra. A World Tour was planned to promote "Zoom", it was quickly cancelled due to poor ticket sales. Where were all you Jeff Lynne supporters in 2001? You certainly weren't buying tickets to see your beloved Mr Lynne in concert. Meanwhile "The Orchestra" were carrying on were ELO Part II left off touring the world and playing to millions of fans of ELO's music. The first time I saw ELO live was in February 1975 at Leeds University, my ticket cost £2, the cheapest tickets for a recent concert in Leeds by "Jeff Lynne's ELO" was £125. The last time I saw "The Orchestra" it cost £32. I've seen Roy Wood's Rock & Roll band at the Picturedrome in Holmfirth from 2010 - 2016, every time the tickets were £20. I'll be seeing Woody & Co next week in Halifax for £34. Mr Lynne has priced himself out of the market for me and I'll never go to one of his concerts again.

Je viens de découvrir, superbe travail entre ce groupe mythique des années 80 et cet orchestre symphonique ! Comme quoi la musique peut unir beaucoup de personnes! 🧙‍♂️🎵🎶🙂👍😘😘

Wy graliście i gracie wyjątkowo na szczycie choć wasza muzyka dziś dalszym ciągu ma sympatyków łącznie ze mną i pozdrawiam elo w całości

Excellent concert! 🧙‍♂️🎵🎶🙂👍👍👍

I remember going to this concert and to be honest it was more enjoyable than any Jeff fronted ELO concert I have seen before and after.The albums were pretty good but this was spectacular

Excelent❤

Концертный зал "Россия" в Зарядье, который снесли вместе со знаменитой гостиницей. Помню, мне билетов на это выступление не досталось. Конечно любители группы, побывавшие на этом концерте, заранее знали, что состав будет другой.

I saw this version of the band touring with Kansas. It was good. It would have been fine if they just played their post Jeff music, as it stood up on its own. They could also included Groucutt’s solo material as well as some of them played on it. It was a great show as far as them being an independent post Jeff band.

Agree with Tony Kitchen, the audio does not do justice to the experience in the audience. It needs some significant mixing and tweaking (the audience noise is suspect - sounds american)22nd May 1991 I was centre stage sweet spot. Fantastic sound, relentless melodies, phenomenal energy - and then the Moscow Orchestra. Words do not express how brilliant this was I left with a full heart and tears of happiness. Don't sully ELO2 and this presentation with Jeff Lynne's name for the moment - they were brilliant and deserve plaudits. NB Tabloids were full of stories of Moscow Orchestra players busking on London Streets because they were so poor.

Some of ELO Part 2's original stuff was good - especially Thousand Eyes, but what the band really achieved was taking the ELO hits out on the road and playing them really well, (you only have to see and hear the audience reaction to appreciate how well they and the Moscow Symphony Orchestra did it), which kept those tunes in the public eye and ear. The winner was Jeff Lynne as his tunes got continued exposure. It's such a shame that the rift between Jeff Lynne and those ex ELO members who embarked on Part 2 seems beyond resolution. We have now lost Kelly, Hugh and Richard from the classic ELO 7. Lou Clark is gone too. Time is running out for a reconciliation. No one lives forever. I live in hope of Jeff picking up the phone to Bev and putting past disagreements behind them both. Highly unlikely. But you never know.

Electric Light Orchestra part II zawsze opracowała koncerty do perfekcji , widać zaangażowanie muzyków podczas koncertu .

No me cansaré de darles todos los elogios del mundo actual Elo es el nuevo descubrimiento para nuestra felicidad soy Fausto constante de Quito Ecuador

Coincido totalmente con los elogios para electric lligh orquesta y punto

A ver, en lo personal encuentro esta versión de la ELO (si, legalmente es una versión y no una banda tributo o de covers, ya que en aquel momento Bev contaba con el 50% de los derechos de la marca ELO) bastante clara y consisa, buscaban continuar otorgando y dando a conocer tanto a los fans de antaño como a nuevos megalómanos la música de ELO (tanto sus éxitos compuestos por Jeff, como las canciones de Troyer en este caso). Nunca buscaron reemplazar a Lynne, que por mas genio que sea, hay que aceptar que ha cometido varios errores a lo largo de su carrera como músico que le costarían caros, como dejar ir a toda una camada de extraordinarios músicos por pensar que el, y solo el, podría encargarse de tocar en directo y grabar nuevo material de estudio de ELO (esto lo ha hecho en varias ocasiones, como aquella vez que despidió al exelente trío de cuerdas que tenía la banda previo a la grabación de Discovery, o cuando mandó a Kelly por el tacho pagándole £400 básicamente para que se vaya y lo deje de joder durante la grabación de Secret Messages). Los discos de la ELO grabados solo por Lynne (Zoom, AITU, y FOON) nunca tuvieron la solidéz deseada, por el simple hecho de faltar muchos de los componentes que formaron parte de la banda durante los 70's y 80's tempranos. Es mas, a esto se le puede sumar que el mismo Lynne quería evitar que tanto Bev con ELO Pt. 2, como Kelly y Mik con The Orchestra, siguieran existiendo, motivo por el cuál los denunció en varias ocasiones y menos mal la corte no falló a favor de Lynne, o nos habríamos perdido de exelentes conciertos que dió la ELO Pt. 2 y The Orchesra en tierras latinas (cosa que Lynne no hizo ni hará nunca, ya que la última gira que se avecina solo tocará suelo estadounidense). Hace poco perdímos a un gran músico de la agrupación estrella de ELO (1975-1979), Richard Tandy. El tipo era un maestro, y lamentablemente no pudo unírse a Lynne en ningún concierto posterior a 2016 por temas de salud según tengo entendido. También Kelly y Hugh, grandes músicos se están yendo y nunca tuvímos (ni vamos a tener a estas alturas), una reunión de miembros restantes de ELO (Jeff, Bev, Mik y Mel), y esto solo por Lynne, ya que el los puede invitar a formar parte de la agrupación en cualquier momento. Aunque ya veo que poco o nulo interés tiene en eso, pues no otrogó ni dió declaración algúna cuando Kelly falleció, tampoco Hugh, ni siquiera otros músicos anterioes a la formación estrella como Mike Edwards y Wilfred Gibson recibieron palabra algúna de Lynne, a pesar de en teoría estar en buenos términos. Es una lástima que una banda tan alucinante y de las mas infravaloradas del rock haya terminado solo como un negocio del cuál sacar dinero que generó conflictos constantes entre Lynne y el resto de la agrupación. Solo nos queda seguír disfrutando de la música que dejaron estos genios. En fin, un saludo cordial al megalómano que esté revisitando ese exelente concierto (el fandom latino o español de ELO es inexistente como para pensar que alguien va a leer esto la verdad, pero nunca está de más la cordialidad).

❤❤❤❤❤

Elo son una verdadera orquesta sinfónica adaptada al roc an rol

Inolvidables y extraordinarios ,,,,,,,y muy actuales ....

ELO II DEMOSTRANDO QUE SON GRNDES MUSICOS Y VERLOS DISFRUTAR DE LA MÚSICA ES GENIAL. EL SONIDO ORIGINAL DE ELO FANTASTICO.

Seen them twice what happened to these brilliant bands

This is not ELO, originals

Без Джеффа Линна Оркестр говно...

Isn't this better than...

Es fehlte Jeff Lyne ?

1:17:44 Roll Over Beethoven

1:22:07 stopping the music

Чё вы тут городите? Это ELO? Без Джеффа? Ну ну....тогда слушайте wings без Сэра Мккартни, Цепов без Планта.....

Wow its awful, 10 out of 10

ну а что? хлопают же им, визжат, нравится людЯм...

Better musicians than jeff Lynne's ELO

timeless perfection.

elo pt.2 & Moscow symphony orchestra at Edinburgh playhouse,the best concert I have ever seen.

I am an ELO big fan, and have nothing but a great respect for this spin off band, their debut álbum was good and have very respectable musicians like Peter Haycock (+) and Erick Troyer....thanks for posting this awesome gig

My summer job from Uni in '76 was as a roadie for the ELO tour before they hit the really big time. Got to know the original members, and I have to say I saw this concert in '91 in Manchester and it was fabulous. The original stuff from ELOII and Orkestra (underpinned by Louis Clark) is very underrated, as is Kelly Grocutt's solo work.

Was at this concert, was amazing !

Songs are great. Jeff didn't want to work with these guys anymore. Yes, Jeff is great, but really enjoyed the studio albums part 2 did as well as the live releases. Look at the Jeff Lynne 2014 version.That's not ELO either. He has so many "extra" musicians, back up singers,etc... and his voice, like Elton, Paul, etc... is not the same. This is a big production, but go back and listen to the touring version of Part 2, and the Orkestra, and you may appreciate the other ELO members a little more. Or even go back and look at what Jeff wrote on the liner notes for the first "greatest hits" about the other member of ELO as well as L. Clarke . These are guys trying to make a living off songs they recorded originally as well as 5 "new" Part 2 songs. I love ELO,ELO Part 2,and Orkestra !!!!! I think the light dimmed for me when Kelly died. Like it all people . No need to be uncivil over some silly songs. Sit back ,enjoy, or go listen to something else.

In a time, when music was for the most part four chords and a bridge, the Electric Light Orchestra crafted some of the most brilliantly devised and constructed compositions comparable to any works created by the like of Beethoven, Chopin, and their ilk! I applaud Jeff Lynne and Bev Bevan for their commitment to making all of us experience what it was they were all feeling musically! They made music real again, for so many of us children in the light!

I was there awesome!!

Thank you for posting this concert. I have just enjoyed the last hour and a half so much ! I should have gone to this concert, but due to a buggered up back operation in the March of 1991, I was still in hospital :-( However, my brill sister managed to get me (through a distant connection between her and Neil Lockwood) a signed 12"copy of 'Honest Men' Not only signed by everyone you see on stage in this concert, but also they had written their best wishes for my recovery on the sleeve. How wonderful a tonic is that. I did finally manage to see them live the following year in Bristol of 1992 and met the guys backstage to thank them. A truly Great band !!

Great, simply great.

I saw ELO part 2 when they came to York, good job Gordon Gilltrap was first! ELO 2 were good but like many people say its not the same without Jeff. Was great to see him on Children in need last November.

I was there the audio doesn't do it justice, with the symphony orchestra, hence it seems rather flat. In reality it was awesome As much as I like Jeff Lynne the Elo part 2 was great.

Excellent concert.

If you think thats just a cover-band then you NEVER watched E L O part II they where every bit as GOOD, Because ELO was a BAND! JEFF Lynne is a great in his own RIGHT, he is NOT ELO These guys are the band ELO ! Until further NOTICE. . . "THE SHED"

Watch Jeff Lynne live at Hyde Park. Recorded in 2014. Simply amazing!!

All my respect for this....but 25 years later and after having seen- at last- the real ELO 's heart and soul last april at the O2 JEFF LYNNE....well to me it is just a good tribute band. I like all past and present ELO lines up....but to me JEFF LYNNE-GOD-

Musically this is great, but I miss Jeff's voice. Of course I miss the violin in Jeff's 2001 tour.

Композиторская линия всегда будет превалировать в песнях Д.Линна, кто бы их не исполнял. А группа Electric Light Orchestra Part 2 в этом составе всегда будет оставаться грандом, в чём опять же заслуга гениального Линна.

Нетленный репертуар и качество исполнения отличное. Но без Джеффа теряет магию. А где же Moscow Synphony Orchestra?

to right both of them

With Kelly....Bev and Mik...this version is every bit as good as Jeff's new ELO outfit. Too bad Jeffs Ego never allowed for a legitimate reunion while Kelly was still with us . But with a group of studio musicians & Tandy /Jeff is in total control as he demands and its his way or the highway. Oh well....At least I got to see them on Out of the Blue and Time tours

This band was better than ELO original! Each Member of the band can sing and write songs. Who needs even a selfish like Jeff Lynne?

ELO one of the greatest AOR band EVER!! Jeff Lynne is a fucking genius!!

Mucho forofismo por jeff lynne veo.Pues claro que esto no es elo por esa razón cambiaron el nombre a elo part 2 cuando el dejo tirado al resto de la banda tras "balance of power" y hay que decir que sonaban más a la elo los dos discos que sacaron con esta formacion que lo que ha hecho jeff lynne desde 1986...Archaim theatre,Zoom y el mas reciente Alone in the universe no suenan para nada a elo por mucho que lo firme lynne!!! con lo de elo part 2 queda claro que no engañan a nadie y la gente que vá a sus conciertos ya sabian que iban a escuchar la musica de elo pero sin jeff lynne!!!!hay que respetar a kelly groucutt,bev bevan,mick kaminski y louis clark que tambien fueron parte de elo en sus dias de gloria!!

i was at this concert my wife was carrying my first son, and it was brillent yes you can say you miss jeff but the same was said when roy wood left the the band to form wizerd

If only Jeff Lynne would have the concert Remastered. I know his split with this group of ELO was less than amicable, but it would be profitable for him to do so.

It's just not the same without Jeff.

1991

NO Jeff... NO ELO

Sorry ....but you cant do ELO without jeff Lynne! ...simple as!

Las Mejores canciones aqui, a mi modo de pensar, son las de Eric Troyer (Thounsand eyes, Every night, Honest man)

Seriously lol.......

Jeff Lynne is elo but he's not here and it's not a hit for me!

ELO 2 live surpassed the Lynne era, I had the privilege of seeing them many times, those that think Lynne was be all to end all live with their butts up the rear, he despised ELO 2 that is why he paid mega bucks to Bev Bevan for the 50% Bev owned in the title to ELO. If Lynne is so great why did every serving members of ELO snubbed him at the Hall of Fame induction? Basically because he is a dick with a big ego, he was nothing before he barged into the Move, then shoved Roy Wood out of ELO, without a team effort ELO would not have evolved, how people can be so deluded that Lynne was ELO makes me vomit, but then that is the world of ignorance, media and plain old bull*#~t.

without Jeff Lynne, this is just a cover band that needs Jeff Lynne.

no jeff no elo

well ewery one think thy can du better ,, i like wat i here ,, can i du better ,, absulut ,, but not infont of somebody ,,,

its like the beatles without paul

estos son impostores no son originales no esta jeff lyne
