Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

IslandGuru Who payed the critics

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

jhansman A kick off to a sadly aborted concert tour (ticket sales lagged) and album debut, this mini-concert filmed in the CBS studio in L.A. is a fantastic re-visitation of some of ELO's best songs. Performed by an entirely different band, the music still keeps its energy and Jeff Lynn's unique sound. I found the cellists a great addition to the band; their sound may have been able to be synthesized or omitted entirely, but clearly Lynn understood their playing live gave the music that distinctive ELO touch. While I found only a few of the new songs from the Zoom album worth listening to, the concert as a whole is a wonderful collection, played expertly. Be sure to watch it with a good sound system (NOT through your TV's speakers!) and you won't be disappointed.

ccthemovieman-1 I'm sorry, ELO fans, but I was disappointed with this concert at the CBS Television City in Los Angeles. It's decent music-wise, but the presentation is simply boring - big-time. Most of the songs sound the same and lead singer-writer Jeff Lynne is about as animated as a store mannequin. He has a pleasant voice, but he isn't much to watch. He just stands in one spot and sings for an hour and 40 minutes. The songs all sound like 1970s-1980s bubblegum stuff: pleasant but not exciting.Lynn is accompanied by a very pretty woman, Rosie Vela, but she isn't too animated, either. The only song - out of 23 - that creates any excitement is the last one: "Roll Over Beethoven." Now if only some of the other 22 songs had that excitement to them, this could have been a much better concert DVD.

Claudio Carvalho I bough this DVD on April, 2002, an I have watched it at least five times since then. The magnificent and empathic Jeff Lynne as the lead vocal, playing electric and acoustic guitars and having the gorgeous Rosie Vela as female voice, shows classics and new songs of the Electric Light Orchestra. It is amazing how he kept his wonderful voice along more than thirty years. The band has the company of fantastic musicians. The show has an outstanding stage and lighting, and the direction of Lawrence Jordan is perfect. It is very difficult to select the best songs, but I love the classic ones, like 'Do Ya', 'Evil Woman', 'Show Down', 'Strange Magic', 'Livin' Thing', 'Turn to Stone', 'Ma-Ma- Ma Belle', 'State of Mind', 'Can't get It Out of My Head', '10538 Overture' and 'Don't Bring me Down' (Wow, I have listed half of the songs...). One of the best shows on DVD ever. My vote is ten.Title (Brazil): 'Electric Light Orchestra: Zoom Tour Live'

Robert ELO mastermind Jeff Lynne is accompanied by excellent musicians who seem to enjoy their job. Many of the classics and a lot of songs from the "zoom" album. Recorded in a TV Studio, picture quality and 5.1 dolby sound are very good. If you´re a fan you will love it.
