This was played right before Jeff Lynne's ELO went on, it reminds me of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame + Museum montage when they induct a musician/band!

I listened to the entire concert, every album had at least one song, except Time, Balance of Power and Zoom!

When I read that Jeff Lynne re-recorded some of the old ELO songs, I was hoping he did them in his current style - i.e. more rootsy, without the orchestra and endless backing vocals.

I love the old songs, but listening to a few of them in a row is exhausting to me and I prefer Lynne's style of the last 25 years. There's some great songs buried under all the 70's bombast, that I would like to hear performed (by Lynne) in the style he's known for from those Tom Petty / George Harrison / Traveling Wilburys albums and "Zoom".

Or maybe this already exists? Like a stripped down live album?

For now this is the closest you're going to get, from a couple of years ago in 2012 on BBC!

Too bad "Hold On Tight" wasn't included, but it still appears to be a pretty solid set list.
