Leave your thoughts about Electric Light Orchestra - Zoom Tour Live.
| User Reviewmonsieur rAn intimate, up close indoor concert at CBS studio. This is strictly Jeff Lynne. His back up band is seemingly not the original group. I haven't checked but I have old concerts on vhs tape (reviewed by me already on RT) and I don't detect original band memebers. In fact, the girl lead singer is a pretty frail pale, doing mostly a wiggling act that gets quite annoying. She really doesn't do anything but sing. Not even a tamborine. At half the age or more of a constantly sunglassed Lynne, one can only think this must be his current fling. I don't know that for a fact, just appears that way. Shots of her, Rose Vela, contributed to the deduction of 20% here, at least for me. I really got tired of seeing her. Otherwise, shots of the over the hill audience left something to be desired. The sound is great, the songs are faithfull to the original tunes we know from years back. Contains 23 songs, starting impressively with Do Ya and ending, of course, with Roll Over Beethoven. All your favorites are probably here. The cover art is pretty good. A video interview with Jeff Lynne is good to see. The celloists, two of them, are outstanding. Check out their electric cellos, wow. This is mostly a Jeff Lynne spectacle minus the old band. As such, it was kind of sad. But the sound is still there and after all, apparently Jeff was ELO emboddied. The title Zoom Tour Live does not make much sense. Perhaps Jeff explains why ZOOM? You'll have to check that out yourself. Again, Image Entertainment does a fine job of camerwork in this presentation. 98 minutes, color, Dolby Digital stereo, dolby digital surround 5.1. Presented in a Wide Screen aspect ratio and enhanced for TV screens. If you like ELO at all, even if it is just Jeff, the writer of all these songs, get this dvd. Likely you will like it. |
