ELO tribute show recreating a classic Electric Light Orchestra concert with orchestral arrangements, strings and a light show.
ELO Again are playing Derby Arena on Sunday 8 November, a night built around the music of Jeff Lynne and the Electric Light Orchestra. It's a tribute show, so the set is drawn from the ELO songbook rather than new material, and the band is now in its eighth year. They describe themselves as the No.1 ELO tribute show and 'the best ELO tribute on the planet'.
The show is a recreation of an Electric Light Orchestra concert from its heyday, with the music arranged to mirror the original sound. That means professionally re-enacted orchestral arrangements, soaring strings and vocals, a light show and visual effects. It's a full production rather than a stripped-back set, and the group also describes the act as 'DIRECT FROM THE WEST END'.
If you're familiar with the original ELO, you'll recognise the approach. The strings and orchestral layers were always a big part of the band's sound, and that's what this show focuses on. The songs are played with the full arrangements intact, so it's a recreation of the live experience they put on when they were at their peak.
