So we haven't heard any significant news from Jeff's social media in ages, but at least now we have something else to look forward to!

BSJ - did you go to the 78 concert? Detroit, Cleveland, both, ...? and I see we have a member called elodevi - but with zero posts? (elodevi is said to be behind the coming soon video)

ELO came here in 1976. Only time I saw them before Damey's resurgence. I lost interested in them for awhile.
But I have a friend who saw them with the space ship in Detroit, 1978.

Strings were performed at both shows. Of course the production in '76 was bare bones compared to '78.

If not - at least someone is releasing it. I just wish the top secret collectors of ELO acetates would simply release the material for the good of all.

Trouble is, if someone has got something rare and special then Jeff will close it down as soon as it hits the market....

I'm fairly sure this is 100% a fan effort, and Jeff still hasn't touched the complete restoration of Secret Messages, so I'm hoping this will also manage to stay up long enough for us to appreciate what amounts to a truly incredible act of generosity.

Do we know when 'coming soon' will be? Days, weeks, months? also will it be free and uploaded to YouTube or will we have to pay?
So many questions!

They've confirmed that it's going to be uploaded one track at a time starting on June 26th, but it should be noted that there will be two versions of this video. The first is going to be made available via elodevi's cloud drive, and will consist of the original unedited 4:3 footage. However, for the YouTube upload, they're going with something closer to 16:9 aspect ratio, apparently because there's a watermark that they've elected to crop out. (My guess is that it's timecode at the bottom of the screen, which is typical of archived material from this era.)

I guess the next question is, will the complete show be available as a download rather than individual segments?

The acetaters have joined the forum, hopefully they will soon be able to answer your questions.
