I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

I really enjoyed this concert DVD of Jeff Lynne's Zoom Tour which was made over a decade ago. The quality of the camera-work is great--very professional and very well done. Additionally, the music quality is also very nice. Since I have been a Lynne/ELO fan for decades, it's not at all surprising that I'd like this DVD--and it would have been weird if I hadn't! However, I must honestly also acknowledge that Lynne's USA tour was canceled soon after it began because ticket sails were so poor! So, because of this, folks on the East Coast like me didn't have a chance to attend the concert! And, you can rightly assume his music isn't exactly popular today! So, while I would score the DVD very high, I doubt if most non-fans would. My only negative about this is the DVD menu--which looks pretty cheap and pretty stupid. It's a HUGE contrast to the rest of the DVD.

A kick off to a sadly aborted concert tour (ticket sales lagged) and album debut, this mini-concert filmed in the CBS studio in L.A. is a fantastic re-visitation of some of ELO's best songs. Performed by an entirely different band, the music still keeps its energy and Jeff Lynn's unique sound. I found the cellists a great addition to the band; their sound may have been able to be synthesized or omitted entirely, but clearly Lynn understood their playing live gave the music that distinctive ELO touch. While I found only a few of the new songs from the Zoom album worth listening to, the concert as a whole is a wonderful collection, played expertly. Be sure to watch it with a good sound system (NOT through your TV's speakers!) and you won't be disappointed.

This DVD is up there with great quality music concert dvd's such as the Eagles - Hell Freezes Over etc. Amazing sound,great picture,great musicians. And all the hits of E.L.O fame are here and reproduced very faithfully. Stop reading this and go get it. Highly recommended

ELO mastermind Jeff Lynne is accompanied by excellent musicians who seem to enjoy their job. Many of the classics and a lot of songs from the "zoom" album. Recorded in a TV Studio, picture quality and 5.1 dolby sound are very good. If you´re a fan you will love it.
