Should see them next year I’d they tour again. Still great. Music holds up amazingly. Check out YouTube videos from 2019 tour. Amazing.

TBH one of my favourite bands from my youth. Saw them live w few times and will see any reincarnation with any members. Love the symphonic touch to some great rock songs.
Surprisingly they were also known for being really loud live. I once had 2nd row seats on the left side of the stage. Turning my head right to watch the Center of the stage, I had the floor speakers banging in my left ear all night. Could not hear out of it for a few days and today that hearing never recovered 100%.
My kids laugh as I call my left ear “my ELO ear”.

I've always been a fan of Rock Music that incorporates classic instruments - like the Beatles, Billy Joel...

I was a big Roy Wood/Move fan back in the day and bought right into the ELO personel change. Can vividly recall a well known classical music station in NYC changing it's format to rock 'n roll back in the '70's (the call letters are lost to brain fog). The first song they played as a rock station was ELO's "Roll Over Beethoven" from ELO II. A neat transition I thought. Those were the days.
