OUT OF THE BLU-RAY


Eagle Rock Entertainment is now set to release ELO's 1978 Out Of The Blue Tour Live at Wembley on Blu-Ray.  Mixed signals on whether this will be Region 2 (for UK, Australia etc) or Region Free (for everyone.)

The set appears to merge both the Wembley '78/Discovery DVD with the ELO Live The Early Years DVD from 2010 into one Blu-Ray release.

UK release date: 16 March 2015

The blurb:

Eagle Vision’s SD Blu-ray range presents upscaled standard definition original material with uncompressed stereo and DTS-HD Master Audio surround sound for the best possible quality. The Electric Light Orchestra are one of the most successful British bands of all time. Formed after the break-up of The Move in 1970, they pioneered the integration of orchestral instruments into pop music and released a series of groundbreaking and increasingly successful albums through the seventies that culminated in the multi-million selling “Out Of The Blue”. The main concert on this SD Blu-ray release is from the world tour for that album featuring their legendary spaceship stage design and was filmed at London’s Wembley Arena in 1978. This show is combined with a wealth of bonus material to give an overview of E.L.O. performances right through the seventies.
