Holland Dozier Holland, Jeff Lynne, Rick Springfield to Receive Stars on Hollywood Walk of Fame Who knew.? Oh yeah.the entire band knew!Ĭongratulations, it's about time, but it should have been Electric Light Orchestra, now this does not bode well for an ELO induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as they will also want a Jeff Lynne solo one under either Non-Performer or Musical Excellence! Played in a giant auditorium with a light show and a flying saucer for a stage with fog and some solo spots. I and many others got to listen to our album Interesting how people forget and how the facts morph /change into something different.Why am I sharing this? Simply that I want People to know what I experienced at my second concert that was ELO: OUT OF THE BLUE TOUR. I really don't care if there are doubters.there are always people that don't want to think that something like this could happen, but it does and it did. Oh well.I was 17 years old and a young musician starting out since 10 years of age.

To those who don't know and or were not at the show in 78'/79', you could literally see Jeff Lynne turn away from the mic while his vocals were still coming out of the PA.IT WAS A FULL RECORDING ON TAPE from the album.you could tell!!! The solos were the only live part of the show. You totally got what you deserved by Sharon Osbournes Father, Don Arden! Serves you right. Went to the OUT OF THE BLUE concert only to find out later it was all lip synced !!! They could not recreate their music live so instead they pulled a Milli Vanilli.before Milli Vanilli !!! Jeff Lynne.you still owe me and all the fans that went to your Fake Show with the lasers and flying saucer stage. What a TOTAL RIPOFF they were! At the time ELO was a favorite for me,and others.
