Bit of an ELO night here in the UK, advert on national TV. Dedicated night of music on BBC4. Just how much is this costing Frontiers? Anyway never a real fan before but somehting clicked tonight so may well have to investigate further.http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914315,914315#msg-914315Sun, 19 May 2013 08:51:34 +1000 Phorum 5.2.16 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914315,914471#msg-914471 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914315,914471#msg-914471-------------------------------------------------------

It's repeated tonight at 1.30 in the morning (sunday night/monday morning) along with the Wembley '78 footage.]]> rattman NoticeboardSun, 07 Oct 2012 23:24:29 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914315,914392#msg-914392 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914315,914392#msg-914392-------------------------------------------------------

Although The Orchestra and ELO II have released some good stuff and are very good live.

Far too much of a musical genius to just be a 'producer'.
Looking forward to his 'new material' hopefully in 2013.]]> Braddy NoticeboardSat, 06 Oct 2012 23:47:43 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914315,914362#msg-914362 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914315,914362#msg-914362 stryper NoticeboardSat, 06 Oct 2012 21:33:49 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914315,914342#msg-914342 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914315,914342#msg-914342The documentary was fascinating, I always loved the Travelling Wilbury's as they bought together some of my favourite artists from across the genre's and generations.
I'd love to see Jeff, Tom and Bob reunite with members of The Heartbreakers, Ringo Starr, Joe Walsh & Dhani Harrison assisting them, that would be one hell of a concert!
Will Frontiers be releasing the documentary on DVD in 2013?
Very much looking forward to all the new ELO/Jeff Lynne related goodies that Frontiers have lined up... Surely must be one of their biggest signings? Sure they have Journey, but this guy produced The Beatles last hit!
I wonder if Jeff/ELO signing to Frontiers (after years with Epic) is a sign of other big name artists moving over to the independent route, where they'll have more control over their output than age-old contracts with the big labels? The only band I can think of having a big contractual dispute with Frontiers is Toto?

Long Wave and Mr. Blue Sky are the beginning of several Lynne-related releases on the horizon. Next year will see the release of a concert recording, ELO Live!, as well as expanded reissues of ELO's 2001 album, Zoom, plus Lynne's 1990 solo effort, Armchair Theater. Additionally, a new solo album, with all-new material, is on the horizon.

"I've done eights songs so far, and I need another three or four, maybe," said Lynne. "And that will hopefully come out next year, too. It's slightly shifted over from things I would normally do.
