Thought I'd start a thread for any bootleg recordings that appear online
So I'll start with this that has just appeared on Dime...

Original Lineage - CDR From Trade > EAC (Secure Mode) > WAV > Trader's Little Helper > FLAC (level 8)
setlist
01 - 10538 Overture

05 - Dear Elaine
06 - Great Balls Of Fire
07 - In Old England Town (Boogie # 2)
Original Notes
With the exception of a short live set played for Granada TV, this is the only known complete concert recording by the first ELO line up, featuring Roy Wood, known to exist. It is mentioned in the sleeve notes of the remastered version of ELO's first album as existing only as part of a private collection. It remained under lock and key until a couple of years ago when the collector saw fit to let it loose into the collector’s world. Although the show is under an hour long, it is a complete show; they got away with murder in those days. The recording quality is around VG to start with but the quality improves to near excellent by the end of track one. During the quiet parts and after applause from a very polite crowd you could almost hear a pin drop. With only one album released you would think the show would all come from that but you get only four tracks from that, an early version of a track that was not recorded till their second album, a cover of Jerry Lee Lewis’s Great Balls Of Fire and the only known version of ELO performing Dear Elaine, a song that was to be a solo hit for Roy Wood in later years. The band used to alternate Between Dear Elaine and the song Whisper In The Night, from one show to the next. Lucky they chose Dear Elaine on this occasion or an ELO version would probably never been heard. Since posting this show on another forum some time ago I have found some artwork for this show; it’s not brilliant but it’s better than none.
