After seeing Jeff live three times (including once at Wembley) which is more than I'd ever dreamed off a few years ago, I can't really complain if Jeff doesn't tour the UK next year. If he does play some dates and they're in locations I can't reach, I might protest but I still can't complain. The only shows that I don't like Jeff playing - from a gig-goer perspective - are those shows like Glastonbury or Hyde Park where even if you do snag a ticket you probably will end up crushed or somewhere at the back. Gigs in fields are not for me. That said, ELO shows in fields are very enjoyable on TV - Hyde Park is one of my favourite gigs to watch.
It's good to see Jeff doing so many shows across the pond. While I'm eager to hear what he's doing over here, I'm more pleased to see that he's giving the ELO magic to North America with plenty of dates. Hyde Park was my fave.There was loads of room and the atmosphere was lovely. It was a bit of a squeeze at the front mind

The 2019 tour...
I think that Jeff's making up for lost time.... the years between BOP and Zoom... and between Zoom and Hyde Park. We know he's always preferred the studio, but I'll bet he's really enjoying himself now.
I'm not complaining. I was in short pants when ELO was in its heyday (and never knew they existed!). To be honest, the closest I thought I'd get to hearing Jeff's music live was with ELO Pt II / The Orchestra.
(My thoughts still go back to a summer's evening, in a field in Crawley, in 1997. Phil Bates kicked the whole thing off with Fire On High. Absolute magic!)
As to next year's setlist - we'll see what Jeff and Mike can come up with. I'd like to think that they'll freshen things up a bit.
I'll be fair - I'd gratefully forgo any UK/European dates in favour of some in Latin America and Down Under. I think they deserve it

I don't understand sending him back to cities where he's already played numerous times.

Same here, perhaps its a time zone miscalculation? Or it could just be the high number of people requesting codes? It must be pretty difficult for one person to organize all of that.

Please, if your a ShowDown member, do not give out the codes! It is for showdowners only.

DeMarco, I think you were removed from the list because you continually talk about the codes out of school
