ELO’s classic rock songs are popular oldies known all over the world. This famous band had produced one timeless catchy tune after another.
It is often claimed that the supernal cult worship of the band faded away after Jeff Lynne had left the band. But as long as the audience does not forget classics like Roll over Beethoven, Don’t bring me down, Telephone Line or Sweet Talking Woman, it is reason enough to present the big hits live.
Phil Bates, vocalist and guitarist of Electric Light Orchestra Part 2, and as such Jeff Lynne’s straight successor revives for both, former and new fans, the biggest hits of the rock legend. After searching long and intensely he finally found excellent musicians and vocalists to reproduce the superb and unmistakably sound of ELO.
Not as orchestral as the original, but in a more rock-like style this new formation, the Electric Light Band, sets to work. The particular charm is achieved by the musicians showing necessary respect for the “venerable“sound and, at the same time, by setting new standards imaginatively and stylistically confident. Phil Bates’ magnificent voice outshines the compact sound of the band and veraciously creates goose bumps. There is no doubt that he is one of the best vocalists in the world.
The music of ELO stands for brilliant voices, unforgettable world hits and pure emotions. Now the Electric Light Band feat. Phil Bates takes this unique sound experience to stage.
You have to have them seen live: absolute top class classic rock!
