Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)

The Set Of 6 TV performances are unique in ELO history as they are the only surviving video recording and non-bootleg live audio of Roy Wood still with the band. These early live performances were challenging for the band as they struggled due to difficulties with amplifying the string section and Roy Wood frequently changing instruments between numbers. This early performance for TV, although still having to deal with these problems, showcases an excellent performance and is a rare glimpse into what the original vision was for the band. The performance was filmed on Tuesday, May 9, 1972 in Manchester in front of a live audience. The broadcast, originally on Granada TV only, was 42 days later on Tuesday, June 20, 1972 (just weeks before Roy left the band). The songs performed that day were Queen Of The Hours, Jeff's Boogie #1 and 2, Whisper In The Night, Great Balls Of Fire and 10538 Overture.
