The man is a genius.
The 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?
