Electric Light Orchestra(ELO) performed at the Tarrant County Convention Center arena on 9/1/1978. They were promoting the "Out of the Blue" album and had a stage shaped like a flying saucer. This struck me as ironic since the TCCC arena resembles a large flying saucer in downtown Ft Worth TX. There was no backup band so they played for about two and a half hours. Great show with really good sound system. I really enjoyed this show. Jeff Lynne and company were amazing. They are the only rock band that sounded good with strings. I also enjoyed Bev Bevan's drumming. Since that time I have really come to appreciate just how much of a musical genius Jeff Lynne really is. The show's encore including "Roll over Beethoven" was rock and roll at its finest. Bar None....
