Since the early 1970's, England's Electric Light Orchestra has combined intricate, full orchestration with an underlying pop skeleton, becoming one of the most popular and influential "prog-rock" bands in history. After a long hiatus from touring the United States, ELO--led by Jeff Lynne--is filmed in a return to the American stage. Filmed at Los Angeles's CBS Television City, ZOOM TOUR LIVE has the group performing tracks like "State of Mind" and "10538 Overture" with their typical theatrics.

Even for a concert staged in a small arena/studio, intended for DVD, this comes across far better than expected. The sound, lighting and camera work is A1. Some of the old favourites, with 'later' material thrown in for good measure all add up to make a cracking show. And the sultry redhead alongside Jeff Lynne fits in so well. Get this DVD!
This is one THE best music DVDs available. If you've ever hummed along to an ELO song, you're gonna love this. I was prepared to be disappointed, but no way! Jeff Lynne and Rosie Vela deliver an almost faultless performance of many of the big hits, alongside the excellent tracks from the Zoom album, the best thing Lynne has done since 'Discovery' in my book.
Picture and sound quality are top notch...the bass sub really kicks with the drumming. Musically, they sound like a 10-piece (maybe some overdubs, but who cares) and I can't recommend this highly enough. Get it and love it.
