The Electric Light Orchestra are one of the most successful British bands of all time. Formed after the break up of The Move in 1970 they pioneered the integration of orchestral instruments into pop music and released a series of groundbreaking and increasingly successful albums through the seventies that culminated in the multi-million selling Out Of The Blue. This concert is from the world tour for that album and was filmed at London's Wembley Arena in 1978.
The whole of this incredible concert is available on special edition DVD "Out of the Blue - Live at Wembley", out now on Eagle Vision.

Sun is shinin' in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin' ev'rybody's in a play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day hey,hey

Runnin' down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly in the city
On the streets where once was pity
Mister blue sky is living here today hey, hey

Mister blue sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long
Where did we go wrong?

Hey you with the pretty face
Welcome to the human race
A celebration, mister blue sky's up there waitin'
And today is the day we've waited for

Hey there mister blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Ev'rybody smiles at you

Mister blue sky, mister blue sky
Mister blue sky

Mister blue, you did it right
But soon comes mister night creepin' over
Now his hand is on your shoulder
Never mind I'll remember you this
I'll remember you this way

Mister blue sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long
Where did we go wrong?

Hey there mister blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Ev'rybody smiles at you
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

I always freeze in shock, when hearing some ELO on the radio here - once every 5 to 10 years... How much better was driving up the US west coast and have stations there playing whole of their early albums!

Anybody else still having the original blue vinyl edition of this single release?

If I'm not wrong, this was filmed by Mike Mansfield, who had the TV programme Supersonic in the '70s. Where is Mike now? He did so many good things!!!

no dress--the lighting is just bad. I suppose in Britain it's not a misfortune that your parents named you (a guy) Beverly.

[Vickie Foster]

Yeah,Jeff Lynne is too! :p
