Jeff Lynne's ELO - Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia 9/21/2024

 A little late with this one. 

 Jeff Lynne is currently on his final tour fronting Jeff Lynne's ELO. The tour made it stop In Philadelphia recently. 

 Mr. Lynne sounds pretty much the same as he did 40 years ago, and the current touring band sounded incredible. since Mr. Lynne will be retiring from touring after this current tour, getting the opportunity to finally get to see him live was a pretty easy decision.  I suspect and hope  they will continue to tour once Mr. Lynne retires from touring.

 The songs hold up so well and sound, I imagine, the way The Beatles may have sounded had they kept going. 

  The Philly performance also saw the Birthday of drummer Donavan Hepburn being acknowledged with a full band bow to him during their final bow.

   Here is the setlist:
