Also as well,(my conspiracy mind coming into play here) I think it's another kick in the balls to ex band members such as Bev who would have loved to be on tour as much as this. I bet he's thinking 'why is Jeff touring this much when he hated doing it back in the day?' I thought about this for a while, too, and this is what I think: A few things are different now. JL is a kind of revered elder now, and he is not boxed in to difficult agreements with record companies as far as where and how much he should tour, and when he needs to go back to the studio and crank out another album. He does not have a young family to leave behind while on the road. And it looks like Mike Stevens is taking over most of the grunt work of leading the band. I think all of that makes it a much more pleasant proposition for him, and he has more control. I think he also appreciates the adulation of the crowd much more now, perhaps being more sentimental as he ages?

That may be true eloneen,but I dearly want Jeff and the old band to make up and play one more time (that show I WOULD pay to see straight away) I guess it will never happen though given what happened at the RRHOF...

It would be fantastic indeed, they were all great mates once, and they are not getting any younger, to see them all again before it's too late (it sadly is in Kelly's case) would be the best thing ever, but as you say, it will never happen.

I was sitting in a motorway service station last night, just outside Birmingham ironically. I decided to check my emails and sat bolt upright when I saw that a second Brum show had been added. Ten minutes later, ticket purchased!!

Hello to everyone, I am a new member from Denver, Colorado and was totally "chuffed" to see that Jeff Lynne is coming to Denver next summer! The only drawback is that it's at the Pepsi Center instead of one of the greatest venues of all time, Red Rocks!

I did indeed, no problem whatsoever, I imagine Denver isn't going to be a hot bed for ELO activity, but it will be a dream come true for me!

With my insane schedule, it's hard to plan something this far in advance. However, and I'm not bragging here, I know a couple of the higher-ups at Live Nation, so if I want to go at the last minute I can do some crafty negotiating and get hooked up. Detroit is definitely my best option, at this point.
