Just to remind you that this recording,ISNT from the Edinburgh,Ingleston gig(its from Germany)but the one were reffering to is the last ELO gig in Scotland.
ELO - Edinburgh 16 December 1981 - my first ever concert and still the best - still have the ticket stub. You don't get gigs like this now for £8.50!!!
it's a fact that some of the live at wembley they are lip syncing...listen to standing in the rain, sounds exactly like the record...it is in fact from the album...some of the other stuff is live
einer meiner ersten singles die ich mir gekauft habe,kaufen durfte ....meine eltern sind damals ausgelippt bei der musik ich fand es knorke ..heute noch
Take notice, my fellow ladies! The pants that Jeff was wearing for those TIME concert performances really left nothing to the imagination! (i.e. He wasn't wearing underwear.) ;-)
Great stuff!! I was at Wembley for the ''Time Tour'' I remember a R2 D2 type robot came out on stage and did the voice for the opening song. Have to say tho, I was slightly dissapointed that Jeff had replaced the strings ( except Mik. violin ) with Synths. Wasnt quite the same. However, the concert was still fantastic!!!
Edinburgh December 81 - first concert I went to and still the best..and it was about minus 18 outside! I've probably already posted this on here a while back but what the... Jeff Lynne where are you? Concert stages all over the world need you! (But that new album would do for starters!)
I saw them live in Boston, Massachusetts at The Boston Garden with my brother in 1981. Great concert but I still kick myself for missing their Out of the Blue concert a couple years earlier. I had to work that night! WTF! What a dumb ass I was!
The twilight zone, where sharks do roam... For christ sakes, John, it's me, Eli! When will you give us a call? How do I reach you? We want up and out. Fuck apollo, we'll take him on on his own turf.
I really enjoined this one - I visited the concert in Dortmund Westfalenhalle. It was my first concert I visited, and I still own the "Official Program " booklet seen in your video. ELO are one of my favourite musicians till today!
@abatage0 Know what you mean, it's on a short list of my all-time fav. albums!! Definitely the most underappreciated record of all time., didn't get the publicity or acclaim it so richly deserved. My biggest regret musically as a rock and roll fan is never having seen ELO live. What an awesome treat you youu all had!! Jeff, please come back and perform again! Here's to hoping you can get that spark and magic back.
3.24- I remember reading about the Robot on stage for this tour. He used to roam around during songs. I can't remember his name. Does anyone out there remember ?
Saw this tour at the Westenfallenhalle Dortmund, I was seving in Germany with the Army, it was my first concert in a German audience they were awesome; ELO were pretty fantastic as well. "Into the Fire" were a great warm up act as well.
The Scotland gig was Dec16th 1981.Your right this isnt a recording from that one,due to the germanic countdown at the start,but were using it as a refrence to Jeffs last gig in Scotland.Basically the "TIME" tour.
If this was in recorded in Scotland, then why is the crowd counting down in German? And if this is ELO, why does the singer not sound like Jeff Lynne at all? I guess it's "the Orchestra" or "ELO Part II" or something like that.
@jeffmoppi . okay the recording-sound is a little shitty, but as a real fan you can hear it ;o) Jeff and Kelly alternate on the leads, at the chorus they sing together with Dave Morgan. Dave used a vocoder. it's definitively not ELO Part II...
What do you mean that doesn't sound like Jeff Lynne? That's what he sounds like when he sings live. The vocal sounds you hear on the old ELO albums are the result of tons of vocal overdubs. I remember Kelly Groucutt saying once that when ELO played live, they used to use backing tapes to fill out the vocal sounds, though it would seem by the time of the Time tour, they had stopped doing that.
@gahloot Then never got sued you tool. Who would sue them? Where is you proof? How about a link or something? Get your shit straight before you accuse, you shithead.
@lonstar70 My proof is I was at some of the concerts that this happened you fucking cum guzzling gutter slut!And it was the fans that had a class action law suit against ELO,and I was included in the suit against the managment,producers etc.. dumb ass!!Its common knowledge that u would know if you weren't out blowing Bev Bevin!
Respond to this video... By the way listen to some of there other live recordings and you will know this is true!The concert I was at the trick started skipping during the song!Just like Queen would never perform the multi track part of Bohemian Rhapsody in concert!~It was piped in~
@lonstar70 Maybe not on the Time tour, but they were definitely using backing tapes on the Out Of The Blue tour. The cellists were running back and forth onstage like heavy metal guitarists. There's no way they could have been playing their instruments with any kind of accuracy while bouncing around the stage like that. And there's no way they could have gotten those big vocal harmonies with just Jeff and Kelly singing live.
@Kohntarkosz I have the DVD of them at Wembley, and there are no backing tracks. ANd how do you know what they can and cant play while running around on stage? Go back and look at the performances they did on small stages in 1973.... they were going nuts and it was all real.
@jeffmoppi Well you're right on one part, and partially right on the other, They are indeed counting in German, the vocals however are shared between Jeff Lynne and Kelly Groucutt :)
@HazMatCFO REALLY? Lucky you! Didn't realize til now that TIME was performed in so many places. Wish they had taken the tour into Texas in October of '81; hell, the whole group of my Air Force buddies and I would've hit the road hundreds of miles to see ELO then. This TIME album got me thru a tough year in Alaska (Aleutian Islands)in '82., as my roommate wore this album out!!! BTW... my Philly roots cause me to be a diehard Hall and Oates fan, the latest Live from Daryls House w/T. Rundgrenkicks
Nice job! To my knowledge, no live video of this tour exists (they were vigilantly cracking down on audio recording when I saw them in Binghamton NY in 1982), so watching your video with these excellent rare photos is the next best thing.
Just to remind you that this recording,ISNT from the Edinburgh,Ingleston gig(its from Germany)but the one were reffering to is the last ELO gig in Scotland.

I was at the Time tour concert in Norman, OK back in Oct. 81 and it was great. Sat about 10 rows from the stage a little to the left of center.
Even had the pleasure of a great opening band in Hall and Oates. As popular as H&O was with all their 70s hits, they opened for ELO.
A great show.
