ah probably me misunderstanding his point then. It did have me play cheer down and then sing it to myself all the rest of sunday though so not a bad thing i guess.

Yes Cheer Down was played in the interval after the support act and before Jeff came on stage. Did anyone else who was there notice that Jeff did not sing on 10538 Overture and also Secret Messages. Both those songs were sung by the backing singer Iain Hornal with Jeff miming the words at the mic !! I presume he was resting his voice after his recent bout of laryngitis but i'm surprised that nobody else seems to have noticed it !!

No, I went to London before the laryngitis and the same happened, the backing singer sang lead on some parts.

The main one I noticed was on Rockaria where Jeff and Iain traded vocals. I thought it worked really well and reminded me of the way Jeff and Kelly worked together on stage.

yes they were swapping vocal parts for those songs in Birmingham as well, must say as I was watching IH at that point I didn't notice JL miming.

Looks like the rays of an ELO sunrise of joy.

This was one of the best gigs I have ever had the privilege to attend. It was a spectacular night that I will never forget!
Jeff was incredible, the band were incredible, the songs are legendary - I can't successfully put into words how much I enjoyed it!
The only criticism I can come up with is that he easily has the back catalogue to do a few more songs to get the gig up to the 2 hour mark.

Just include, to name some, "One Summer Dream", one from BOP ("Calling America"), one from Time ("The way life's meant to be" for example)... and of course "Summer and Lightning" and you reach the 2 hour mark, give everyone an extra dose of ELO happiness and the night is glorious.

Jeff isnt miming you can clearly hear his voice. Agree IH is doubling lead in 10538, but Secret Messages is just the standard harmonies.
