    ELO are cooler than ever now though. Jeffs ship has come in. 2001 was not the moment, today is. So why not enjoy them in the here and now rather than lamenting the 2001 fiasco? It’s not like the 2001 line up was any more ‘authentic’ than the current one anyway. AFAIK both only featured Lynne and Tandy from ‘classic’ line ups.

    I saw one of the shows at the Hollywood Bowl a couple years ago. Sign me up again!

    Is it inappropriate for me to ask if anyone has the "fan presale" code?

    I would prefer Meriweather Post Pavilion.

    Pretty big gap from Oct. to June in the tour. Maybe an album to tour behind.

    Flew from Vancouver to LA to see them at the forum. The show was great, the sound was fantastic, only negative was 1 hour 30 minute show. Of course he now announces Vancouver:doh::doh::doh:

    Didn't the Zoom tour get announced and most dates go on sale during the Summer of 2001 and the tour cancelled right around 9/11? I remember a Long Beach Arena show going onsale and maybe less than 30% of seats being sold before the tour being cancelled.

    cosmicdancer Doin' it to you in 3D! So Groovy that I dig me.

    I’m totally in for the Columbus, Ohio show. I wish I could get a holdback if the fan club presale code. I’ve looked all over the net and even the fan groups I’ve found. Seemed to be stumped on it. Either that or they are staying incredibly tight lipped.

    Yup, something along those lines. I don't know what changed between then and now, other than the general public realizing/rediscovering how great those songs were at some point between then and now.

    I was at that Toronto show and it was absolutely fantastic. People talking about half filled arenas weren't paying attention to the latest tour I think. I'll be seeing them again on this tour.

    I know I'm much more motivated to see them this time around in Anaheim versus when they played the Hollywood Bowl which I absolutely loathe going to.

    His live show sounds VERY MUCH like the records, but I think that's what most people want. To sing Evil Woman and Telephone Line, etc at the top of their lungs. And they (the band not the fans) sound great. They get no complaints from me and I'll happily do it again.
    If they were to start messing with the arrangements, etc then those half filled arenas might become a reality!

    Yes they were. I really wanted to go to that show. Bummed it was cancelled.

    I have to admit I'm surprised at how well ELO are doing on the road in the US now, but if they really are, I don't see why they can't book a Boston area date.

    If they started messing with the arrangements or going deep catalog, then I'd buy tickets in a heartbeat. Until then...no interest.

    fair enough...and I certainly wouldn't complain if they played Fire On High, Boy Blue, Bluebird Is Dead, the Eldorado stuff, anything post Discovery.

    Sept 17, 2001: St. Paul, MN

    My brother in law got us pre-sale tickets for the Columbus, Ohio show! Can’t wait! He said he found the code in a Reddit post, though I don’t know where or what the code actually is.

    To add to what's already been said, that tour was also directly in the wake of 9/11 and the economy as a whole took a big hit. Definitely had an impact on ticket sales.

    I’m looking forward to the new album but I’m also hoping for a release of the live material from the current tour.
