The Electric Light Orchestra - Evil Woman - Live

The album tells the story of a man, circa 1981, who is taken away by time travelers to the late 21st Century. Once there, he marvels at the wonders that the future offers, but is also increasingly amazed to find that he longs for his own time (the past) and the woman he left behind because of his journey forward. Although he has been provided a robot woman, who obeys his every command without question, he quickly realizes that this is a poor substitute for his lost love: the robot companion can never love or be loved by him. His desire to return to the past grows stronger once he is told that he cannot be returned to his own time, and he attempts an escape using his captors' time transporter equipment. His premature escape is foiled by his captors, and he subsequently discovers that they had only been keeping him in their future to illustrate to him how it suffers from the choices that had been made during his time. The man is finally returned to his year of origin (1981), armed with the understanding necessary for him to make a positive impact on the future.

Jeff Lynne - Lead vocals, guitar

Electric Light Orchestra is actually a pun on the bands name. The Electric part is from the electric guitars, basses, and synthesizers used. The Light Orchestra part is a quartet of cellos and violins. The bands logo however resembled toungsten in an electric light bulb

No wonder they are called Electric Light Orchestra.
