This is a very good audience recording taken from ELO's Time Tour. It was recorded in Koln, Germany, in March of 1982. Bev Bevan was ill, so Pete King from After The Fire sat in on drums. Highlights include the John Lennon medley as well as the hits medley where the band reviews their recording hits legacy in rapid fire fashion.

The audience here is very "enthusiastic" to say the least and respond loudly to every piece of music with their incessant clapping. They really do capitulate to the band's instructions to "clap your hands and stamp your feet!"

Still a good show though it runs a tad too fast. Check it out...you won't be sorry. Been looking for this concert recording for quite awhile. Thanks Daz.
