ELO set list

On their 2018 tour, ELO dropped into NYC’s Madison Square Garden on Aug. 21.

According to Set List FM, here’s what the group took to the stage that night (including nods to Lynne’s stints in The Move and The Traveling Wilburys):

01.) “Standin’ in the Rain”

02.) “Evil Woman”

03.) “All Over the World”

04.) “Showdown”

05.) “Do Ya” (The Move cover)

06.) “When I Was a Boy”

07.) “Livin’ Thing”

08.) “Handle With Care” (The Traveling Wilburys cover)

09.) “Rockaria!”

10.) “Can’t Get It Out of My Head”

12.) “Shine a Little Love”

13.) “Wild West Hero”

14.) “Sweet Talkin’ Woman”

15.) “Telephone Line”

16.) “Don’t Bring Me Down”

17.) “Turn to Stone”

18.) “Mr. Blue Sky”

Encore:

19.) “Roll Over Beethoven” (Chuck Berry cover)

ELO new music

Although the group has regularly put out reissues and remasters of classic tracks in the 2020s — see “Vocoder,” “Ballads,” “ELO 50th Anniversary Vol. 1” and “ELO 50th Anniversary Vol. 1” — their last album comprised of wholly original music was 2019’s “Out Of Nowhere.”

The ten-track record sounds sharper than it has any right to; by our estimation, Lynne’s voice still hits the Beach Boys-level high notes with ease and the tight instrumentation is just as hook-y and danceable as the group’s catchy hits from their ’70s heyday.

If you’re trepidatious of revisiting one of your favorite groups, we recommend starting with the Beatles-esque “From Out Of Nowhere,” tropical “All My Love” and hard-rockin’ “One More Time.”

Make sure to save the upbeat, call and response bop “Time Of Our Life” for last. We promise, you’ll be dancing in no time.
