The Orchestra featuring Former Members of Elo & Elo I

Very much enjoyed going back into the 70's listening to some of the many hits of ELO!

Saw Al Stewart, Orleans and former E.O.L. members and found the access to the facility good, the parking easy and convenient to the theater. Left slightly earlier that the majority, so we did not experience the exit traffic, can't report if it was lengthy. The lights and sound people had their stuff together. Convenient venue for L.I.ers, seems like a little treasure that has yet to be discovered. Theater facility is a good venue for concert activities and I would seek out other concerts at the Tilles Center Concert Hall.

This is the 1st time I ever saw ELO in concert and I'm glad I did. They are still amazing after all these years.

A superb performance by the band and the back-up symphony orchestra. Needless to say, Mr Violin, Mik Kaminski was the big star but everyone contributed to the outstanding evening. Backed by the Jacksonville Rock Symphony, the performance wowed the crowd and drew several standing ovations. Exceeded our expectations by far!!

EXCELLENT ! THEY DID AN AMAZING JOB OF REPLICATIING THE ORIGINAL ELO MUSIC EVEN WITHOUT THE GENIUS OF BAND LEADER,LEAD GUITARIST,SONG WRITER & VOCALS OF JEFF LYNNE.

ELO The Orchestra were great!! Saw them on the Moody Blues cruise last year! Hope that they'll be back for next years cruise!! Very nice men!!!

The Orchestra enthusiastically played all of their most popular songs culminating in a rousing applause by the audience, which was composed of all ages. Absolutely nothing was lost in this performance from the original songs thanks in part to the Jacksonville Pop Symphony, which did a marvelous job! My wife and I both had an amazing time and would have gladly paid twice the price of admission! Highly recommended!

This concert was great. They played every song. They sounded just like they did back then. The Jacksonville Rock Orchestra was the hit of the night!

This is one of my top 3 concerts in the last 12 months!!! The Orchestra, Elo Former Members were backed up by select musicians from the Jacksonville Symphony and the synergies were beyond fantastic. Melodious music that did not lend itself to the audience inanely clapping to the beat of other bands. Audience clapping is not music people, I paid to hear the band. I'm not sure the concert would have had the same impact without the symphonic accompaniment and I recommend ELO incorporate this for their future performances.

Was a really good show. They sounded great. Played all my favorites

They were fantastic . Played all the hits except Fire on High . The Jacksonville Orchestra was just the greatest . Would go see again if possible

This was the best concert we have attended so far this year. ELO members and orchestra were excellent! Non-stop hits took us back to the good 'ol days, and we didn't want the concert to end. If they come anywhere close to Jacksonville again, we will definitely go see them again! Thanks for the awesome music and memories!

The band performance was outstanding, but the sound system was horrible. I have seen this band play in other venues three times before, in venues where the sound was beautiful. But the Florida Theatre has serious issues with their in-house sound system -- a real problem because this band does not tour with their own sound system. And this is not the first time I have experienced poor sound quality in this venue, it's been a known problem for a number of years, so beware and adjust your expectations accordingly when you buy an expensive concert ticket and show up to see the house system is being used. If the orchestra was expensive, then I would have rather seen a better sound system and no orchestra.

I wasn't sure what to expect since it's only a handfull of ELO members that make up The Orchestra, but I was happy I did see them. They played all of their hits and most of the songs are really upbeat and fun to listen to.

Everything I hoped it would be. I wish they would tour more often. The only down side was that Mik Kaminski couldn't be there do to the events happening with the volcano eruption in Europe. I guess I will have to see them again.

Sound quality was awesome! My seats were just a few arm lengths from the stage. They did my favorite ELO song Water On High, which blew me away. Another great surprise was Rockaria complete with an opera girl. It was just all good stuff from the first song. If you love ELO music, then you'll love these guys. Even if you like ELO, you'll still love it. Everyone was singing along to every song.

It was a lot better that I could have imagined. The band sounded great and they all seemed to be having fun. Well worth attending... can't wait for them to come back!

The Orchestra was incredible! We all danced & had a great time!

Even an Icelandic volcano disruption causing legendary Mik Kaminski to be sadly absent, could not stop this event from being memorable for all the best reasons!! These guys need to be seen morel The Orchestra rocks!!!!

We went to see The Orchestra (ELO) and got there a little later than we wanted to. Show time was listed as 8pm so the six of us ran up the escalator around 7:45 so we wouldn't miss the show. Resorts apparently didn't get the word that the show was sold out. We still had to stand in line from just before 8 to about 8:20 and we were no where near the end of the line. I guess Resorts told the band they were still checking people in at show time. The show started around 8:20 with about a tenth of the crowd still trying to find their seats, the bar, or the bathroom. I got back from the bathroom as the band started and my wife gave up standing in line for$3.00 water. It was shaping up to be a disappointing evening until the band came on. WOW All the troubles faded away and we were entertained by a great group of musicians. My wife (who wasn't even born until the discovery album) enjoyed the show as much as I did. Even with Mr. Kaminski stuck in Europe due to volcanic ash, the show was fantastic. I would go tomorrow and pay double to see them again (as long as it was not at Resorts.)

The band , although not all original, performed each piece flawlessly. We have been waiting several years for a gig in the United States and they did not let us down. I drove a 17 hour round trip to see them in Atlantic City and I would have gone further. Each member did a superb job on their performance, so well that it was definitely a step back in time. They interacted with the fans throughout the entire concert and welcomed everyone's participation with the entire set list. Hopefully they were as overwhelmed with the audience as we we're with their performance, to persuade them to return for future performances. For all E.L.O. fans out there ........ this was a performance not to be missed.

temendous show, hope they dont wait 10 years to come back to this area, glen burnick(formaly of styx and playing paul mccartney in beatlemania) is great....mik kaminski and his blue violin didnt get out of england due to volcano so they made light of it and use organs to fill in. we wondered who would do the high voices like in rockaria...and it was very well done, they a girl who sang the part all dressed up...very funny and very good

They did a fantastic job of bringing back ELO's hits. Their performance and harmony at the Resorts Hotel in Atlantic City was great even with a band member who was unable to make it last minute because of the closed London airports due to the clouds of ash from Iceland. I would highly recommend their wonderful performance.

I went with my cousin last night to the concert at Resorts in Atlantic City, and we both liked and enjoyed the concert, but my cousin called it cover band because there was only about one original member of the original lineup of ELO. Though it was mentioned during the show by a band member that one of the original fiddle players was stuck and unable to attend and perform due to the Volcano in Iceland, which made air travel from Europe almost impossible in some places. The players of the ELO reunion were definitely professional and spot on, and there was even a guitar player from the band Styx which was cool, but a true reunion would have had Jeff Lynn who left the band in 1986 only to return in 2000 and he even came out with a new ELO album in 2001 which had former Beatle George Harrison on it prior to his passing in late '01, and his band mate Ringo Starr was also on it. So over all the concert was good and raocked, but it still paled in comparison to an ELO lineup with Jeff Lynn.

I enjoyed the show very much. The performance was fantastic.

I love this band, they play great rockin' songs with enthusiasm, a joyful experience. Always want to jump up and dance, don't know how everyone stays in their seats. Their violin player is the Cat's Meow!...and all other band members do a great job playing their parts.The band really works well together and you can see they are enjoying themselves...it is infectious...

The Orchestra featuring former ELO members won the crowd over w great performances of Evil Woman, Sweet Talkin' Woman, Livin' Thing, Xanadu, Strange Magic,Don't Bring Me Down & incredible performances of Can't Get it out of My Head, Fire on High, Telephone Line, 10538 Overture, Standing in the Rain, Turn to Stone, Do Ya, Mr. Blue Sky. Fans were saying lots of great things about the band at intermission & afterwards.

I really didn't know what to expect but The Orchestra really delivered! This show is not just for die hard fans of ELO (like me) but even for the casual fan (like my wife, who really enjoyed it!). Go see them!

Players from the original Electric Light Orchestra played all of the hits and did an AWESOME job! My wife and I sat in the 5th row of the balcony with a great view. Sound was good, not great. Mix was a bit hot on the keys and strings which partially covered the vocals which were 3 part harmony and spot on. Overall, a great night!

Musical and vocal perfection! Each member shines individually, but when their brilliant artistic abilities blend, forming instrumental and vocal layers, the live concert experience is unparalleled!!

The show was outstanding.. They just get better and better with age. Cannot wait to see them again!

It was one of the best live concerts I've ever been to!

Couldn't have asked for a better show. Second time seeing the Orchestra and was not disappointed

Great show, venue, and band. Lots of fun listening to ELO music. Jeff Lynne should join this band

Great time......when is the next revue? I want to go

Superstar Theatre is an intimate venue. The band was great and I think they had just as good time playing as we did watching and listening. I really enjoyed the show. They played all their old songs and they still sounded as awesome as they did in the 70s.

My husband and I have been on the last four Moody Blues cruises. The Orchestra added such wonderful entertainment and we always love seeing them perform. The cruise certainly would not be the same without The Orchestra. They create such a fantastic energy and everybody enjoys them thoroughly. They are such great guys and they are so personable. You see them around the ship and they are always friendly and engaging. They perform all of the songs enthusiastically and it's obvious that they are having a great time right along with you. You can tell that they really love performing. The members are so good looking and personable. I listen to their CDs constantly and I never tire of them or their songs. We can't wait to see them again. We love them. When I am having a bad day, I simply put one of their CDs on. Instantly, my day is completely turned around into a great day!!!! Yes, they are THAT good!!!!

Another great concert....I'd forgotten how many hits they have. It was 40 years ago when I last saw them in concert and they sounded great. Very enjoyable time.

These guys won over much of the crowd after just a few songs, and after 20 excellent renditions of ELO hits, they made believers of everyone there in their maximum for a casino 90-minute set. The drumming is the best it's been in years, Hux was a fun frontman & sounded great on vocals. Eric & Glen provided lush harmonies, and of course Lou, Mik & Lou Jr. provided unsurpassed string sounds.

Since Jeff Lynne doesn't want to play in the USA or only in NY and LA. The orchestra is just as good with two original members. They sound fantastic and they played all the main songs even one that only true ELO fans would know. Diary of Horace. They only play smaller venues which gives true fans a great experience. This band should be playing larger arenas. I first saw ELO in 1976 in little theater in Buffalo where I remember the true energy they had from Eldorado album Face the Music tour . I have seen them play larger venues like Out of the Blue tour and Time. This brought back many memories. I highly recommend seeing The Orchestra if you are true ELO fan. I would go see them again in heartbeat. Enjoy the band since you may never see ELO with Jeff Lynne together again.

The band originals were spot on. The other musicians took us back to the 70's and 80's with their strong stage presense

They sounded great. The concert was very high energy!

Though Jeff Lynn wasn't involved, the group sounded good. The music was played, to the original form. Making the night enjoyable.

good venue and show was great, would recommend to others. didn't realize how many commercials use ELO.

This is a nice venue to see a concert. Especially the bands they had playing. ELO-the Orchestra was very good and Orleans was too. Al Stewart was the main reason we went and he played a short 1/2 acoustic set. (Except for the last song the "YOTC" Orleans joined him)

Sound was amped up way too loud. Everything sounded muddy, totally obscuring the musicianship and ruining what could have been a great concert. Either the band members are getting deaf, their sound crew and Tilles techs didn't do them any favors, or both.

I was actually there mainly for Al Stewart since he is rarely in NY, though my husband is a huge ELO fan (yes, we're middle aged and so was the rest of the crowd!)....Al was a pleasure, did "Year of the Cat," a true work of genius and I was thrilled to see him play that live (with Orleans as his back-up-awesome!)....Orleans did an incredible blues song-excellent! I was not much interested in The Orchestra and never considered myself an ELO freak, but I was totally BLOWN AWAY by them! I desperately wanted to dance in the aisles, but was too embarrassed. By the last song, everyone was dancing, so I figured I would join in. This was more fun than I've had in I don't know how long. Now I keep singing ELO songs all day and added them to my Pandora list. My husband, who is hard to impress, loved it too and let me tell you, they sound totally like ELO! Though....I think they could prob have a little more fun w the songs and change them up a little-I don't think they should feel like they need to completely reproduce the album versions and I imagine that gets boring for them. If you like ELO, The Orchestra is as close to them as you'll ever get and totally worth seeing!

Al Stewart and Orleans were fantastic! They sounded SO good without any recordings or effects--truly talented musicians. Beautiful voices and arrangements. Acoustic guitars wonderful. ELO rocked it! Couldn't believe how amazing they sounded. Seeing them live for the first time was an experience not to be missed. Each member does an amazing job and they sounded incredible. Good show! Great deal!

The event began with above average performances from Al Stewart and Orleans, highlighted by their combined version of Year of the Cat. The Orchestra w former members of ELO then took the stage for their 90-minute set. After a few glitches early on, they blitzed through more than 20 ELO hits with stunning music & great harmonies.

I was drawn to this show by the appearance of Al Stewart. His accompanist Dave Nachmanoff is excellent. Al's performance was stellar as always. The performances by Orleans and ELO were a bonus that was over the top. The sound was great and all of the music was top of the line. Thanks to all!

This show was a pleasant surprise as it wasn't what was advertised (which was Al Stewart with The Orchestra, which implied to me that it was a collaboration). Al Stewart was given a mere 30 minutes (6 songs), but he was fantastic with his classical guitar accompanist. Orleans played a solid 45 minutes, and Electric Light Orchestra's former Orchestra, now touring as THE ORCHESTRA, played 90 minutes or so. Fantastic all around - great seats at a great price. Tilles is a GREAT VENUE!

Well, the venue is very nice, Its in an awesome setting. Very easy to get in and out. Theatre was immaculate, ushers excellent. The show was "meh"....Al Stewart opened, and played like 6 songs, then I guess he had other plans. Would have liked a lot more of Al and Dave. Orleans came next, and they were very good. Then came "The Orchestra". The half filled theatre was very tired acting. I thought the whole place was just getting up from a nap. No spark AT ALL. I've learned that ELO is NOT ELO WITHOUT Jeff Lynne. The ONLY original member playing was Mik Kaminski, and though he tried, he can T carry a show. MAYBE one song, but NOT a show. There was an old guy on stage, big white beard, looked like he was straight out of Hogwarts....white coat...just SITTING at a control board onstage. He wasn't at an instrument, looked like he was grading math papers or something, because he didn't do ANYTHING. I guess he WAS an original member, they said he was the controller, or some made up title. I left before the end of the show, sleep was chosen over suffering through this bar band. Overall, not too good, but not bad, either. Just wish the crowd wasn't all over 70.

Just returned from Moody Blues Cruise and the Orchestra preformed onboard. Talk about Awesome, they were beyond Awesome. Two of the members were original members of ELO and they mingled with the audience and signed pictures and albums for us. As someone mentioned they are better today than in the past.

Seeing was believing. I hadn't really appreciated ELO as a kid. Being there up close and experiencing the energy and precision of the members some 30 years later was quite a memorable event. See them soon as the "magic" won't last forever.

The Orchestar ELO with all the Former Members brought back a lot of memories! Vocals were spot on and music was impressive with the Jacksonville Rock Orchestra!
