3 out of 5 stars not too bad.......2004-12-13

The title is misleading,unless you've already listened to some of part2's music.Eric Troyer can sing if he will just take the clothespin off his nose.Seriously,I've listened to part2 in every version I could find.There are only 2 songs of their own that I really like,and if you are like me,you'd rather hear the studio versions than live.Those 2 songs are "Honest Men" and "One More Tomorrow",the one that's included here and I believe it to be their masterpiece.But Jeff Lynne this isn't even though I suspect he gets a cut of the profits just the same:he's a shrewd businessman.If you want to hear part 2 at their best look for studio work,not live.

2 out of 5 stars Misleading Title.......2002-06-30

The labelling for this CD reads:

Electric Light Orchestra Greatest Hits Live, Part II:
The Encore Collection

If it read

Electric Light Orchestra, Part II Greatest Hits Live:
The Encore Collection

There would have been no confusion. I was expected the Jeff Lynne version of ELO when I picked this up. As soon as I heard the first vocal, I knew I'd been had. I would only recommend this to diehard ELO fans who want to hear different live versions of ELO classics.

If you like ELO Part II, then you may be satisfied with this disc. Personally I only like Jeff Lynne on vocals so I give this disc:

1 star for misleading labelling
3 stars for satisfactory performance.
End 2 stars.

4 out of 5 stars Good....But not Great.......2002-05-13

I bought this cd a couple monts ago and have only listened to it once since. Mabey its just the fact that these songs are live and lose some of the more important ELO factors. You can't here many of their instruments and that takes away from this cd. I got it for 5$(new) at my local hastings and didn't know it was live until I popped it in my CD player. But still this is ELO(to me the best band of the 70's) so it was still worth it. I just don't think I would have spent more than that on it.This includes alot of their classics including my personal favorite "Livin' Thing"
