Electric Light Orchestra: The Early Years

Long before they gained notoriety for their elaborate stage shows, which at one point included the band performing inside a giant space ship, The Electric Light Orchestra was just another working rock band, albeit a working rock band with a three-piece string section and a penchant for turning well known classical pieces into mini-rock operas. This DVD recaptures ELO before success spoiled them. Fans will enjoy the trip down memory lane, but it is the casual listener, the ones who may only know ELO from commercials and movie soundtracks, that will relish the experience.
