ELO Storytellers – 10 años
«Damas y caballeros, soy JEFF LYNNE, y por primera vez en 15 años, esta es la ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA».
Así comenzaba este histórico concierto promocional de «ZOOM» con una banda de nuevos músicos y la presencia de RICHARD TANDY entre ellos. Se celebró en el edificio Alltman Building de Nueva York el 20 de abril de 2001. El primero de los tres que el conjunto iba a celebrar. Se denominó «ELO STORYTELLERS».
Los productores de VH1 quedaron sorprendidos ante la respuesta frenética del público y la calidad humana y musical del show. JEFF recordó e interpretó temas clásicos de ELO así como un breve retazo del que fuera su último trabajo «ZOOM» bajo el sello de ELO. El segundo de ellos fue para una emisión de CBS con el título «ZOOM TOUR LIVE» publicado en DVD posteriormente.
Los músicos: JEFF LYNNE, lead guitar and lead vocals; RICHARD TANDY, keyboards, vocoder; Marc Mann, guitar, keyboards, backing vocals; Rosie Vela, backing vocals; Matt Bissonette, bass, backing vocals; Gregg Bissonette, drums, backing vocals; Peggy Baldwin, cello; y Nancy Stein-Ross, cello. A diez años de aquellos conciertos nos preguntamos si también habrá presentación de su nuevo trabajo solista y, quienes podrán asistir a él como invitados.
Los temas interpretados en «ELO STORYTELLERS» fueron:
- Evil Woman
- Telephone Line
- Don’t Bring Me Down
- Alright
- Can’t Get Out Of My Head
- Mr. Blue Sky
- Living Thing
- Moment In Paradise
ELOSPAIN:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm JEFF LYNNE, and for the first time in 15 years, this is the ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA."
Thus began this historic promotional concert for "ZOOM" with a band of new musicians and the presence of RICHARD TANDY among them. It was held at the Alltman Building in New York on April 20, 2001. The first of the three that the group was going to celebrate. It was called "ELO STORYTELLERS".
The VH1 producers were surprised by the frenetic response of the public and the human and musical quality of the show. JEFF remembered and performed classic ELO songs as well as a brief snippet of what was his last work "ZOOM" under the ELO label. The second of them was for a CBS broadcast with the title "ZOOM TOUR LIVE" later published on DVD.
The musicians: JEFF LYNNE, lead guitar and lead vocals; RICHARD TANDY, keyboards, vocoder; Marc Mann, guitar, keyboards, backing vocals; Rosie Vela, backing vocals; Matt Bissonette, bass, backing vocals; Gregg Bissonette, drums, backing vocals; Peggy Baldwin, cello; and Nancy Stein-Ross, cello. Ten years after those concerts, we wonder if there will also be a presentation of his new solo work and who will be able to attend it as guests.
The songs performed in "ELO STORYTELLERS" were:
Evil Woman
Telephone Line
Don't Bring Me Down
Alright
Can't Get Out Of My Head
Mr. Blue Sky
Living Thing
Moment In Paradise
