Jeff Lynne: Electric Light Orchestra - Before and After

Product Information

Un maravilloso libro que documenta con magníficas fotos el que tal vez sea el concierto más importante y reconocido de lo que va del siglo y quizá uno de los últimos espectáculos de tales dimensiones que veremos.

Francesca McDonald, Rachel Hoffman, and Lana Mocharenko are cellists with a wealth of training and experience. Harmonious string sections, stunning light shows, and epic soundscapes are hallmarks of Jeff Lynn and the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), a band that need no introduction. Yet, just one year later in 1970, Jeff Lynne changed his mind after his fellow band-mate Carl Wayne quit, joining forces with Roy Wood.In his induction speech, Dhani Harrison, the son of Lynne's close friend and collaborator George Harrison, lovingly introduced Lynne as 'the ELO extraterrestrial wizard captain - the man with it all. The concert, which spanned Lynne's entire career, was performed before a packed audience of 60,000 fans. The title track, performed by ELO and Olivia Newton-John topped the UK charts - their only single to ever do so.

After they disbanded he maintained a solo career while forming subsequent groups for live performances. After releasing two more albums between 1974-1977, spawning hits like 'Strange Magic', ELO released the double-LP 'Out of the Blue' in 1977, which included the singles, 'Wild West Hero', 'Mr Blue Sky' and 'Sweet Talkin' Woman', which charted at Number 6 in the UK charts. Their version of Mr Blue Sky is breathtaking, full of passion and fervour; the whole auditorium will be on its feet.Yet, it wasn't meant to be as Roy Wood, Andy Craig, Bill Hunt and Hugh McDowell all quit to form another group, leaving Jeff Lynne to front the band. Lawson is the backbone of the group with an international playing record and professional experience.

There are some lovely photos in the book from all eras of Jeff's career including a picture of all five Travelling Wilburys lined up with their guitars. His narration guides the reader through hundreds of exclusive photographs taken specially for the making of this book.
