The Electric Light Orchestra - Yours Truly 2095 - 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.

In 1982 ELO toured to promote the album, with the line-up as follows...

Jeff Lynne - Lead vocals, guitar
Bev Bevan - Drums
Richard Tandy - Keyboards

[Maneachicken]

As well as all the MP3s from this lot of time tours I also have Stuttgart in 1986!

[Biochips1]

LOL she's also a telephone. At least more useful than a real woman.

[FunkyDisco79]

Why don't they all forget the bitterness and rejoin all together like Yes did.

[Helmut83]

I had never put two and two together with the whole story that "Time" tells, but now that I read the description of your video I can see everything makes much more sense than what I thought, and it's a pretty intelligent idea for a concept album.

[Ryan Hardman]

I was 6 when this album came out..still have the vinyl which I stole from my Dad (I like it more anyway) I think this may even top Dark Side of the Moon in my personal favs of all time.. Cheers for the storyline uploader, I always found this album relates so close to my own life..
