The big day is Friday, April 7, 2017!! Who will show up?!? Will old rifts be mended??? Will we be treated to ultimate onstage ELO reunion? What do YOU think? (One vote each)

The four nominated members, plus some side musicians. Perhaps some of Jeff Lynne's ELO.

I'm going for the total package because if Jeff is going to allow Bev onstage he might as well have all the others who annoyed him with Part II. However this is probably optimistic and I have a feeling it will be Jeff, Richard and the band he currently tours with. Is it a proper live performance, or does it tend to be mimed?

It's live performance. I shall listen to it on Sirius Rock & Roll Hall of Fame station. I'm going for the more the merrier. I hope class wins out and whomever can shows up!

You guys are verrry optimistic. I like it! I think somebody has left a comment but not voted though.

I'm gonna say that Jeff, Richard, Bev and Roy will be there, maybe because they're the most constant and founding members of the group, though you never know Mik may be part of it? ( vlogdance hopes!)

Just to go against the current: Jeff, Roy and Richard (no Bev). Although I wish all past members possible were there.
It would be awesome if one of the side musicians played while wearing the mask of the pig of the 10538 video.

Bev is entitled to, and I hope will, attend the actual induction ceremony and I'm sure they will all be polite and civil to each other. As for the performance, well we can all hope for an (no matter how brief) reformation but let's face it, it's highly unlikely given the attitudes expressed by certain parties recently.
As far as I know there has been no word from Bev since the announcement, on Facebook or any other source. I suspect he's waiting to see how the land lies, so to speak.

Bev has the announcement on his facebook. And I saw where Bev had congratulated Jeff on the release of Alone In The Universe through Facebook so I think there is hope! I also heard that Roy was in the audience at the Radio City show I attended... I don't know if that's just a rumor... I didn't see him. I guess I'm just saying that there have been signs of warming in those relationships... heck, they're no spring chickens anymore. Hopefully everyone is game to make up even if it's just for the one time.

Jeff, Richard, Bev and Roy is my vote with Jeff Lynne's ELO playing live.

Who I think will turn up and who I hope will turn up are two separate things.
Let's not forget that there's the evergreen get-out clause of "prior commitments" which I think only Bev could use.
Since Jeff has already performed at a RARHOF "do" we can assume he is in favour of the ceremony.
I'm feeling Christmassy so I'll vote for the whole team.

I just hope they don't play "Roll Over Beethoven".

No doubt Bev will LOVE to play Battle of Marston Moor.
