We all know that 2017 is going to be a monumental year for the group what with the shows and the induction. But a wish that I would love to come true in the new year would be the band playing the hits that have never been done live such as 'I'm Alive' 'Getting To The Point' 'Don't Walk Away' and 'Four Little Diamonds' but the ultimate would be 'The Diary Of Horace Wimp'.
I'm guessing that this forum is THE no1 ELO forum and as such, there would be folk reading this who are in contact with the group who could maybe pull a few strings (pun intended) regarding putting this idea into action. Maybe we could start a campaign or something to get these songs included even if it's just a medley (Jeff has history with these...) These forthcoming shows could well be their last so the chance will go. What do others think?

I'm hopeful that because the 2017 'tour' is very limited we might (should) get a 2 hour+ show. There were a few songs missing from the 2016 tour that should be added imo.
Ma Ma Ma Belle Do Ya Hold on Tight Calling America Twilight (although this wont happen as the vocals are too high) Ticket to the Moon Eldorado Alone in the Universe I'm Alive Dont walk away Last train to London Confusion

An album of new songs would be good.

I'm hoping for some radical changes to the set list for next year but realistically, that's not going to happen. I'd be quite happy for a hits/slightly-lesser-hits medley and yes, the inclusion of Horace Wimp (the song, not the father of this forum!) would be a great addition. Plus of course, the initially rumoured Concerto For A Rainy Day - complete!
Taking the title of this thread in a wider context, my 2017 wish list also includes:
A new album A live album and DVD/Blu-ray of the AITU Tour A new merchandise range at next year's tour The remaining three clear vinyl reissues (On The Third Day, Secret Messages and Balance Of Power) A comprehensive anthology/archival release of some sort A decent book about Jeff and ELO
....and of course, a Jeff, Roy, Richard and Bev reunion on stage at the HoF induction.
Now is that really too much to ask?!!

My wishes are simple so far - just a live album / video of the 2016 tour and maybe the same for Wembley. And perhaps some interesting news along the lines of Jeff doing a Bond theme or film soundtrack of some kind or news of doing something with Roy.
At the very least I hope that new things keep happening - any Jeff news is good news!

I'd still like the band to sing the songs that I mentioned earlier just so we and Jeff know that every chart hit (and the misses too) have been done live.
