Old but unbowed
by JonRox on 2013-12-08Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - CalgaryThe Orchestra may not be the "original" ELO but they gave us a great night of nostalgic listening pleasure. Seeing classic songs like Sweet Talking Woman belted out took me back to the late 70s. Hit after hit played by a band who were really tight, it was such a shame that most of the audience wouldn't (or couldn't) get up and dance. I looked around to see bottoms stuck I moveable to seats all over the auditorium. From Living Thing to Mr Blue Sky the band had us mesmerized. Fascinating to hear the varied pedigrees of those on stage, including the former lead singer of Styx no less! and a rousing finale of Don't Bring me down. Maybe not ELO but still great to hear those old songs being played live in Calgary - instead of accompanying me while shopping at the COOP.
