More(new)songs from 'Time' or 'El Dorado' since these two albums have always been criminally underused.... Nellie Takes Her Bow/Battle of Marston Moor/Manhattan Rumble medley - bring it on! Be a nice challenge for Mike Stevens 😂😂 That would be awesome wouldn't it?

This is the most active ELO forum in the world so the chances are someone from Jeffs circle of friends or record label could be reading this, if they are then can we the fans have a say in the songlist? pretty pleeeeeeez?

The opener will be very interesting this time. Tightrope & Standing in the Rain are two of my faves and good openers due to their drama. Prologue/Twilight is great but he did that in 81 (of course "rain" opened in 78) - in fact did Tightrope open for the ANWR tour? How about Night in the City, Across the Border, Daybreaker (longbeach previously), Eldorado Overture, or even Shine a Little Love with the twinkly bits from the album intro? So many possibilities & luckily we have 9 months to keep guessing!

Again, this would be awesome to hear (get Bev to do the backwards intro too!)

Play the Overture as teaser before he walks on stage. I don't think I'd be coherent rest of the concert.

I'd prefer something from the new album that we haven't heard as the opener.

Please Jeff, just play anything we haven't already heard live in the last three years .
And if you want to get detailed, specifically The Bouncer or Julie.

And Santa Jeff, I would really like it if you invited some of your friends from the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, or any friends who play violin and cello, for that matter, to play on your upcoming album. Yeah, I know you like to program the synthesizers to make them sound like stings. I have to tell you some thing. Come here so I can whisper it in your ear.
::Whispers softly in Jeff's ear:: Jeff, the synthesizers don't sound like sodding strings.
Please, Santa Jeff, invite some real string players into Bungalow Palace and treat us to the sound of an orchestra, even a small one -- a light orchestra -- as it were, on the next album. It doesn't have to be every track, OK? Just a couple, or three?

We've been yelling at him about this for a while now, StrangeMagic . I think maybe your "whisper in the night", might just do the trick.
