Electric Light Orchestra - Live in USA, 1978 (Widescreen)

PLEASE NOTE: The video featured here was likely projected onto the screen’s monitors for the audience behind the band to see. There are instances where this feed is black so the audience would instead focus on other spectacles, such as the laser light shows. This blank screen occurs at the beginning and during some performances, such as the first half of Mik’s Violin Solo and some of Mr. Blue Sky. For the full 4:3 resolution, please check out elodevi’s upload of the same show. The Acetaters and elodevi would like to take you back to July 15th 1978. Electric Light Orchestra had just released their most ambitious album yet, Out of the Blue. It is the pinnacle of their artistic creativity and symphonic rock sound. Tonight’s concert will bring a spaceship spectacle to an estimated 80,000 people at Cleveland’s Municipal Stadium. For the first time in 44 years, we present ELO at their pinnacle. ELO are: Jeff Lynne, Bev Bevan, Richard Tandy, Kelly Groucutt, Mik Kaminski, Hugh McDowell, Melvyn Gale.
