This was the second international rock n roll road trip of my internship and this time we headed down to the Motor City to check out Jeff Lynne\u2019s ELO.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Shortly after arriving in Detroit, we ran into 65,000 of our closest friends exiting Comerica Park and celebrating a Tigers win.\u00a0 Go Tigers! Little Caesars Arena was just a few blocks away and we couldn\u2019t wait to see what the Electric Light Orchestra had in store for us, on their final \u201cOver and Out\u201d Tour!<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The pre-show music was a barrage of Lynne produced music by the Travelling Willburry\u2019s, Tom Petty and George Harrison perfectly setting the tone for the night. The lights went down and we had lift off. They kicked things off with the appropriate One More Time, followed by &#8216;Evil Woman,&#8217; and the crowd was immediately transported back to the golden age of classic rock.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0The energy in the room was electric as Lynne seamlessly guided the band through timeless hits like \u201cStrange Magic\u201d and &#8216;Telephone Line.&#8217; But it was the &#8216;Mr. Blue Sky&#8217; encore that truly brought the house down!<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lynne\u2019s voice still carries the same warmth and richness it did decades ago, making this farewell all the more poignant. With this being their last tour, it felt like the end of an era\u2014a celebration of the legacy of ELO and a fitting send-off to one of rock\u2019s most influential bands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thanks again Classic Rock 98.1 for another amazing night!!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-shortcode embed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"610\" height=\"355\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/O5Kml7sVJPQ\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>[gallery ids=&#8221;28814,28815,28816,28813&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hey folks, it\u2019 s Steve, the Classic Rock 98.1 Intern with another review of another stellar show.
