    Sorry I haven't been around much but life is crazy full these days and I have very little spare time.

     

    I just wanted to stop by and say that the Tampa show had to be one of the best shows I ever saw and I wasn't even on the floor in the front row or even in the first few rows.  I was about 10 rows up on Mikes side.  I had a wonderful view.  I think the venue was near capacity at 21,500 and the show had out of this world high energy. The singing from the audience as incredible and I don't think most people sat down all night. It was an amazing feeling and I don't think I have felt that much energy since the Vic shows in Chicago. What a great feeling for the band too.  I know they were blown away.  When they took their bows at the end of the night everyone left the stage except for Tom who stood there a few extra seconds by himself.  It was clear he did not want it to be over and I think if he could have he would have played a few more songs, he was that high on a cloud.  It must thrill them to no end to still be able to fill up a huge venue and get that much love back out of a crowd at this point in their career.  Every song they did was perfect.  The sound was perfect. I think the set list was perfect with a mix of old and new songs.  We got Woman In Love!!  I was very happy with the choices except they didn't play Fault Lines and that would have just been the cherry on top!

     

    For the first time I did not take one picture during the show and I never even took my camera out.  I just took it all in and what a pleasure it was!!

     

    Mike Campbell - that man couldn't get any hotter.  He blows me away with talent and just thrills me to the core.  I love his look too!  He is badass cool with his wicked dreads. They are getting long!  Love it!!

     

    Thinking on it, maybe one thing that kept the crowd in good control was the beers were $15 a piece!!  There was not so much running back and forth to get more beer and then running to the bathroom.  Everyone stayed in their place.

     

    Now I wish I had another show to go to!!  hahaha!  I thought I only needed one on this tour but now I'm longing for more!

     

    For those of you who still have shows to look forward to, ENJOY!!!  :)

    Jeff Lynne's ELO

    Lights On!

    Something very special indeed to close the show for this year's Festival In A Day. We're delighted to have Jeff Lynne's legendary ELO performing on a festival stage for the first time in 28 years.

    Formed in Birmingham in 1970, the Electric Light Orchestra went on to become one of the most successful bands of the ‘70s and ‘80s.

    An extraordinary run of 26 UK top 40 singles made Jeff Lynne's anthemic ELO songs some of the most recognisable of the last forty years.

    Jeff went on to work with many of his musical heroes including Brian Wilson, Randy Newman, the Everley Brothers and his Traveling Wilburys bandmates Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, George Harrison and Roy Orbison.

     

    Talking about his Festival In A Day performance, Jeff said: “I haven’t performed live in quite some time, and I know the fans have asked for it a lot over the years. It’s very exciting to come to Hyde Park with Radio 2 and do something this big, and I’m very much looking forward to playing my ELO songs for everyone.”

     

    For this unique performance, Jeff and ELO will be accompanied by the famously versatile BBC Concert Orchestra. We can't think of a more exciting finale to this year's event!

    I am spoiled be being up close so many times but I have also been to quite a few shows a lot further back and have had great experiences.  If the crowd around you are excited and into the show it can be the best no matter how far back you are!  It's all about the energy of the crowd.  I wish you good mojo!
