History
After the release of the 2001 album Zoom, Jeff Lynne announced a North American tour, their first live set of concerts in fifteen years. A promotional PBS show was recorded over two consecutive nights at CBS Television City in Los Angeles.
ELO's management abruptly cancelled the tour (due to slow ticket sales) and this footage was released on VHS and DVD by Image Entertainment.
The live line-up of the group was very different from the group that last toured in the eighties with only Richard Tandy surviving along with ELO leader Jeff Lynne.
Three songs from the concerts, "Sweet Talkin' Woman", "Rock 'n' Roll Is King" and "All She Wanted" along with pre-show soundchecks "Twilight", "Secret Messages" and "Confusion" are unreleased, they will reportedly show up on the CD release ELO Live! coming in 2013 from ELO's website elo.biz
