ELO
In September, Shock Entertainment will release Live in Hyde Park by Jeff Lynne’s ELO on DVD and Blue-ray and digital formats. This release offers fantastic value with full length concert and feature length documentary on the same disc.

The Electric Light Orchestra led by one of rock's most iconic songwriters and producers Jeff Lynne, are one of the most successful bands of all time with global sales of over 50 million albums. In September 2014, Jeff Lynne’s ELO headlined BBC Radio 2’s Festival in a Day in London’s famous Hyde Park. It was the first time in almost 30 years that the band had performed on a festival stage. Jeff Lynne said, “It seemed like the entire 50,000 were singing and clapping along, which carried on for the whole night. The Hyde Park concert turned out to be one of the most memorable shows ever for me”.
As well as the full Live in Hyde Park show, the bonus Features offer the feature length documentary Mr Blue Sky – The Story of Jeff Lynne and ELO and also new interviews filmed at Hyde Park. Jeff Lynne has been involved every step of the way with every aspect of this production, especially the audio delivery.
Tracks include Evil Woman, Livin’ Thing, Strange Magic, Can’t Get It out Of My Head, Sweet Talkin’ Woman, Turn to Stone, Handle with Care, Telephone Line, Mr Blue Sky, Roll over Beethoven and many more.
This show was a truly special moment that will live on in fans’ memories forever - the 50,000 tickets for the event had sold out in a matter of minutes and the fans sang along to hit after hit performed by Jeff Lynne and the band accompanied by the BBC Concert Orchestra. ‘Live in Hyde Park’ by Electric Light Orchestra is a must for any music lover and collectors.
