"But on Hallowe'en, when Timeblue walked into the supermarket...." *eerie violin music*

Was it Mik playing the eerie music?

I’ve seen the new incarnation of ELO 3 times and they’ve not played ‘Hold on Tight’. This was the last top tenner in the UK and I think it would make a great encore instead of (IMHO) the over long ‘’Roll Over Beethoven’. I would still play ROB but trim it down to a 3 minute blast and finish with ‘Hold on Tight’. Having said all that, why am I complaining. Up until that day on Chris Evan breakfast show, we could only dream of moaning about the set list.

I have never been a ROB fan and although I quite enjoy it live would happily see it swapped with something that Jeff actually wrote. Complaining about Jeff's set list does seem a dinky bit "over privileged", a little like those millionaires who moan that their Rolls Royce is the wrong colour. Yet I think we could all enjoy a little moan about the set guilt-free because when else have we had this much chance to wallow in ELO? We'll be starved of it soon enough and have to go back to dreaming so lets enjoy being privileged for a change!

My feelings on ROB have been mentioned on here before,in short I don't like it. I agree that the song should be something similar in style so something like HOT or DBMD would be great. We all know Jeffs ways though when it comes to set lists and there would be more chance of Bev singing the national anthem for the finale than ROB being dropped...

I agree with you two, queenofthehours and Timeblue, I'd rather have "Roll over Beethoven" replaced by a rocker that's actually from Jeff, like "Illusions in G Major".

I don’t seem to share the same opinion on “Roll Over Beethoven” as some certain other members... However, I wouldn’t mind seeing it swapped out for something else. Most of my affection for it stems from how much fun the guys used to have on stage while playing it... now if I could see that, it would be worth it!

They still have fun onstage playing it and I love ROB. It's in my top five and I don't care if Jeff didn't write it.
