I suspect it may be more of a pick up band. Mike may be there but it would surprise me if most of the others were.

When Jeff played Hype Park, he said he was nervous because it had been so long since doing a live ELO show. That gig gave him the confidence to start touring again. It's been 4 years, so Jeff may be facing some similar worries - "am I too old for this shit?". Kudos to Joe for talking him into it and hopefully it goes so well that Jeff decides to add a few more gigs while he can still remember the words.
Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time for the words to fall in line
Okay, so the words aren't coming Well, just you listen a little longer, longer, longer? I'll just strum along through shadows of the night and let me sing forevermore Yeah, yeah, yeah Doo-wop, doo-be-doo-doo-wop, doo-wah, doo-lang

Tickets I understand are around $40,that's not a lot for an event these days so does this event attract a big crowd?

I remember Dave Morgan saying that he'd wonder which lines jeff would forget as they'd be different every night ! He struggles now even tho' like most artists he has a monitor right in front of him. Maybe he needs stronger prescription lenses in his shades!

Yeah that sounds about right.

With all of the musical legends like Tina Turner, Tony Bennett, Robbie Robertson and Sinead O'Connor leaving us in the past few months, we really need to appreciate the ones who are still with us. Whether this is Jeff Lynne's last live show or not, I'm just happy that he's above ground and breathing. Not to get dark, but I think I'm mentally prepared for the moment Jeff shuffles off this mortal coil. I'll have a couple of nice bottles of wine, maybe a THC-infused goodie or two, and his music loaded up and ready to go.

A couple days ago I saw excellent tickets for $774. These are not nosebleed, mind you, but this is the market these days for aging Boomer rockers.

Apparently £900 buys you quite good seats for Coldplay, VIP level but "with no band input". This is the official price. People are still buying them.
