Electric Light Orchestra Jeff Lynne Tour 2024
Jeff Lynne’s ELO, the modern incarnation of Jeff Lynne and his band Electric Light Orchestra, have announced a farewell tour. Dubbed the Over and Out Tour, the shows will take place across North America this summer and autumn, beginning on August 24 in Palm Desert, California, and lasting on through to October 25 when Lynne and the band will conclude their goodbye run in Los Angeles. See the complete list of tour dates below.
Electric Light Orchestra spent their original run releasing beloved pop-rock and prog records in the 1970s and ’80s before disbanding in 1986. Jeff Lynne went on to record two solo albums of his own, 1990’s Armchair Theatre and 2012’s Long Wave, before reforming the group under the moniker Jeff Lynne’s ELO in 2014. The newly regrouped band wrote two albums together: 2015’s Alone in the Universe and 2019’s From Out of Nowhere.
In 1981, the British rock band Electric Light Orchestra was riding high. Fresh off a seven-year streak of albums that had succeeded on both sides of the Atlantic and with multiple top-40 singles, ELO had mastered a combination of rock energy and pop sensibilities with string orchestration. At a similar point in their careers, many bands have been inclined to stick to what works — to keep giving fans what they expect, typically with diminishing creative and commercial returns.
Instead, Jeff Lynne, the driving force behind the band (as singer/songwriter/producer/arranger), did something a little different. Having already ditched the string section that had carried ELO up to the disco-inflected smash-hit album Discovery, Lynne welcomed the ’80s by adapting to the new musical word of synthesizers and electronica. In releasing the synth-pop-influenced sci-fi concept album Time, he not only proved that one of the most popular bands of the ’70s still had some creative juice left; he also provided a sonically immersive and conceptually engaging vision of the future.
Time is a concept album, the group’s second. Indeed, it owes something to Eldorado, the group’s first such effort. That album used the band’s own talents, complemented by a full orchestra, to paint a lush vision of a dreamer who strays into fantasy realms of his own imagining. On Time, Lynne similarly imagines a far-off world.
But this time, its distance is chronological: The album is about the journey of a man from the then-present of 1981 into a future world beyond his reckoning. This led to its designation, in Jeff and Ann Vandermeer’s time-travel anthology The Time Traveler’s Almanac, as “the first major concept album devoted entirely to time travel”.
But the album’s greatness transcends Lynne’s own lack of certainty about its meaning, making Time a timeless work. Unfortunately for the band, Time marked the twilight of its own career: ELO’s flourishing is bookended by its two concept albums. But we can still enjoy what the band did accomplish — even those of us who never experienced 1981.
