Electric Light Orchestra - BBC Sessions, Volume 3: In Concert, The Guildhall, Portsmouth, Britain, 6-22-1976

Here's the third volume of Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) performing for the BBC. This time, it's another concert.

Like most of the content on Volumes 1 and 2 in this series, this comes from the official album "Live at the BBC." However, in my opinion, most of the lead vocals were mixed too low for this concert, with some songs worse than others. So I fixed that by using the audio editing program UVR5.

This isn't the full concert, but it's most of it. As the BBC often does, it cut things down to fit the music in a certain time slot. The axed songs include "10538 Overture," "Do Ya," and the final encore, "Roll Over Beethoven."

This album is an hour long.

The cover photo of band leader Jeff Lynne was taken at the Beacon Theater in New York City in 1976. It's surprising that he's not wearing sunglasses, since that became his visual trademark for most of his career.
