Electric Light Orchestra

When Jeff Lynne's ELO performed 'Mr. Blue Sky' live at Wembley Stadium on June 24, 2017, it marked a significant resurgence for the band, who had recently released the album 'Alone in the Universe' in 2015. This live performance came at a time when Lynne was reclaiming ELO’s legacy, introducing a whole new generation to the symphonic rock that made the band iconic in the 1970s. Interestingly, 'Mr. Blue Sky' is often regarded as one of their most beloved tracks, vibrant with optimism—a fitting choice for such a grand venue. The Wembley show was not just a concert; it was a celebration of ELO's rich history, underscored by a full orchestral backing that breathed new life into classic hits. This performance showcased Lynne’s enduring talent and the band's ability to resonate with audiences decades after their heyday.
