Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra Reviews

PW from Toronto, Ontario

CLASSIC

I read through the previous posts before writing mine and all I can say is that they are all spot on! I was with my 20-something kids as well and while my memories of when I first heard these songs quickly came to mind (and also brought a few tears), their love for the music is more recent (again thanks to Classic radio and Spotify) and Jeff Lynne and ELO will remain a rock legacy through them and their children. His music was and is the classic music of our generation, so Roll over Beethoven was an apt closing number. If you have tickets to future concerts you should be in for a treat. Enjoy the 90 minute ride and soak in the memories. To assist with this site's mandate, we would recommend Aroma, Indian Experience on King St. west and the Courtyard by Marriott at College and Yonge as a reasonably-priced and decent hotel to stay at.

JEFF LYNNE'S ELO

Hard to review this without bias. My husband and I were lucky enough to catch their Wembley Stadium show last June and it was incredible! This one of course did not match it, but I was expecting this. Luckily we had awesome seats. Friends had an obscured side view and thought the show was awful. We were super disappointed that they did not perform Last Train To London. It seemed Mr. Lynne was struggling with some singing and the show started 45 minutes late and was short. For a $415 ticket that was disappointing but we still had a great time, my kids loved it. I will always adore the band.

BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE

It was awesome! The 70's revisited at the Scotia Bank Arena in Toronto. One of the best concerts we have ever seen. Jeff Lynne's performance was wonderful and his band amazing. The sound system was outstanding and each song brought renewed cheers from the appreciative audience. We loved it. Definitely recommended for families.

SIMPLY THE BEST

What other band (ever) can play one hit dominated by electric guitar (Do Ya), followed by a keyboard dominated song (can't get it out of my head) followed by a violin dominated piece (livin thing) followed by a cello dominated song (turn to stone) and ends with everything blasting away (Roll over beethoven). The answer is there is no other band like them. I was in Detroit last night and headed to Toronto Saturday. At 70 years old this will probably be our last chance to see Jeff lynne.
