Delirium!

I'll be having a fantastic weekend leading worship for a men's retreat Thursday-Sunday so I'm posting this week's "Delirium" a little early.

Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) was the first band I ever saw in concert (for more info on that see my previous post Heroes) Though I had been a fan for quite awhile, the song "Hold On Tight" was on the album "Time", the tour I got to see in 1981. The opening band was the Johnny Van Zandt Band which was a little odd combination, but entertaining none the less. Jeff Lynne, the lead singer of the band is an amazing talent. He wrote all of the songs, sang all of the vocals (including backup) for ELO and has worked with some of the biggest musicians in history (Roy Orbison, Tom Petty & Bob Dylan just to name a few).

Still one of my favorite bands today. Enjoy!
